  1. So if someone doesn’t respond to the census questionnaire that shows up in their mailbox, someone is sent to their door to ask census questions? Does this happen to all non-respondents?
  2. You probably hit on something here. Does it really matter if illegals are likely not to respond anyway - citizenship question or no?
  3. So their employers withhold to keep the IRS off their backs but don’t worry about ICE? That’s fucked up.
  4. You mean only sales taxes right? Undocumented immigrants do not file income taxes.
  5. Thanks for the thoughtful response Hayden. I do realize there is the possibility that my beloved Texas could suffer in terms of representation and funding due to under reporting of non-citizens but as you said they can still fill it out without even answering the question. I still question fundamentally if the purpose of the census is used to determine representation and funding for our citizens, why it should extend to non-citizens? If the only real non-political answer is “well they’re here so we just have to deal with it” that to me anyways is disappointing.
  6. Well one things for certain - we can always count on you for stupid hyperbole.
  7. Yes let’s be real fucking honest. Why should we care what non-citizens living in this country illegally believe about a census count?
  8. Correction. The term is free Persons in the constitution and it is an antiquated term at best meant to exclude slaves. Yes that is how antiquated that term is. So it is your belief that the intent of the founding fathers was to count everyone living in the US - including those here illegally - for purposes of representation and federal funding? Does adding the citizenship question prevent illegals from answering the census?
  9. Let’s cut to the chase. Why worry about whether non-citizens of the US respond to the census?
  10. When do the impeachment proceedings start? Don’t listen to Pelosi - she’s a quitter!!

    Russia

    This is actually true. An FBI agent said basically the same thing in a 60 Minutes segment on criminal Russian hackers and how Russian intelligence uses them. Hard to tell between the Russian criminals and operatives these days as they are often one in the same.
  12. What do you mean the executive branch doesn’t care? The question was about our govt. The investigations into Russian meddling are continuing and hopefully there will be repercussions. That said, meddling in the foreign elections of others is nothing new. We do it too. See Obama administration meddling in Israel’s elections to stop Netenyahu from being re-elected. Russia has been meddling in our elections for decades. The just seem to have taken it to a new level this time around.
  13. Culver has not impressed in the FF. Hope he can turn it on but so far I don’t see what all the fuss was about. Guy has practically disappeared on the big stage.
  14. Agreed. Take that shit to the Wine douche thread!
  15. Until they get the bill and get bent over. I know then their stuck in a plan but the TXU retention rate must be horrible.
  16. I’m just so very thankful they weren’t an embarrassment.
  17. Well it looks like we’re going to find out.
  18. Not DO. He sinks it and gets his ass back on D
  19. Apparently when he goes to his left he falls down...,
  20. Where the hell has Hamm been all year?
  21. Yes that’s all interesting but who’s their coach?
