MLB cancels ASG in Atlanta

No, Trump never did threaten to remove antitrust exemptions or anything close to that.

LOL. Yes, he did.

And you're so intellectually lazy that you can't do the 15 second search to get the general overview? Explains a lot.

MLB requires photo ID to pick up tickets from Will Call, but boycotts Georgia for voter ID law

Major League Baseball responded to calls to boycott the state of Georgia over a controversial new voter-ID law by moving the All-Star game out of the Peach State.

But teams still requires fans to show photo ID to pick up their tickets from the Will Call booth.

Do you have anything you can send me on that?

No but it’s obvious.

Sorry to play the "what-about-ism" card, but didn't Trump do this a lot? Trump was always threatening Amazon and even structuring policy to hurt them, just because Jeff Bezos also owns The Washington Post and they were frequently critical of him.

Trump also threatened the NFL on Twitter because he didn't like the kneeling. Trump could be as petty and vindictive as anyone. Did that bother you too, or is your outrage selective?

No, he criticized but didn’t threaten.

 

[hog88]

LOL. Yes, he did.

Ok, post something proving me wrong.

It restricts the options from what Georgia voters had available to them in the 2020 election cycle. The reason for this is simple... Republicans lost some very important elections, and they are nervous about the possibility of having Governor Stacey Abrams in the future.

How do you receive a ballot that is turned in to a drop off box?
Do you get it in the mail?
If so, why would a drop box restriction (or their existence at all) create a restriction in turning it in?
Would it not be easier and less restrictive to just mail it back?
I'm asking this because you used the idea earlier that they would be forced to use the mail as an alternative.

It sounds like an option that doesn't make it easier but actually more aggravating to turn in your ballot. In which case it sounds like an irrelevant political talking point.

Do you believe requiring identification to vote is racist?

In an interview with Sean Hannity, Trump absolutely did threaten Amazon. Also, Trump threatened Harley-Davidson if they moved production overseas.

"They will be taxed like never before." - Donald Trump, June 26, 2018

Just Google "Trump threatens Harley-Davidson". You will see several links. It was big news at the time.

Post the links big boy.

You can use Google as well as I can big boy. Google "Trump threatens Harley-Davidson - June 26, 2018" and you will get at least 20 links to the story... and you will see this quote:

Here are the most significant changes to voting in the state, as written into the new law:

• Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots. *
• There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots.
• It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters. *
• Drop boxes still exist … but barely. *
• Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned. *
• Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones. *
• Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges.
• If you go to the wrong polling place, it will be (even) harder to vote. *
• If election problems arise, a common occurrence, it is now more difficult to extend voting hours. *
• With a mix of changes to vote-counting, high-turnout elections will probably mean a long wait for results.
• Election officials can no longer accept third-party funding (a measure that nods to right-wing conspiracy theories).
• With an eye toward voter fraud, the state attorney general will manage an election hotline.
• The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State Election Board. *
• The secretary of state is removed as a voting member of the State Election Board. *
• The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county election officials. *
• Runoff elections will happen faster — and could become harder to manage.

* Most concerning

Republicans have only won the popular vote once in over 30 years. This is what happens when a political party is desperate to stay in power despite the overwhelming majority of citizens rejecting their ideology. They are akin to Sadam's Ba'ath party. A political ideology not representative of the citizenry it represents, so therefore turns to oppression as an attempt to stay in power.

Changing tax codes to penalize moving labor overseas

Vs changing regulations because you’re upset about a voter ID law

1 isn’t like the other

What’s the worst aspect of this law? Is there any one thing you can point me to, because I’m missing it. Even the Washington post says it improves voter access

There are countless examples of Trump threatening private American companies. It was usually over something very petty... like his beef with Amazon. I can't believe some of you are even arguing this. He did it all the time. Trump was petty, vindictive and he used his power to punish companies with CEO's he didn't like.... such as Amazon and Bezos.

Ok lets say he did, you hated and criticized him for it but now when Biden is doing it you think it’s great?

People will have to actually register themselves and worst of all.........put forth some f****** effort to vote.

No, you threw around meaningless weasel words. Does it need to be clearer? Is voter identification racist?

If you want to find me an example for him doing so over something more political in nature, I’ll gladly agree both are equally bad. But calling out a company for moving jobs isn’t in the same ballpark
