Absolutely I agree that voter ID is great! Do you?

(I also agree that Chavez was the walking embodiment of voter fraud. Something Jimmy conveniently overlooked in his quest to legitimize socialism. One can argue that Jimmy has as much liability for the mess that is today's Venezuela as anyone.)

I'll take that reply as: not in favor of voter ID

How about a (take your pick): driver's license, eye scan, fingerprint, or passport.

This is your issue...I really don't see the need for an ID to vote. Registering to vote is a different matter.

Baltimore's 2016 mayoral election: Pugh and Dixon's church squads handed out $20 per crackhead to be driven around in vans to 5 precincts to cast 5 votes.

But it never happens.

Because that kind of reporting is really well received in a city where the DA gleefully prosecutes police and the local newspaper, instead of praising a much needed cleanup, mocks a cleanup effort organized by conservatives.

Friends in low places tell me the dirt.

I know, it's a hit piece; but it is also a fun and accurate depiction of the Nation's Biggest Bootlicker:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions ... alk-backs/

"On Wednesday, Graham criticized House Republicans who stormed into a secure room shouting to disrupt impeachment proceedings. He said they were “nuts,” adding: “That’s not the way to do it.” Soon after came his inevitable tweet: “CORRECTION … I understand their frustration and they have good reason to be upset.”

Rounding out Graham’s week of walk-backs, Graham had told Axios he might consider impeachment if "Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo.” On Tuesday, Trump-appointed acting ambassador to Ukraine William B. Taylor Jr. detailed such a quid pro quo between Trump and the Ukrainian president trading military aid for political dirt. And Graham? He dismissed it as “hearsay.”

Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice called Graham a “piece of [same s-word Graham used]” during a podcast interview this week. Rather than join Graham and Trump in public vulgarity, I prefer to think of Graham as the weakest man in Washington. For years, he imitated McCain’s maverick streak. But he was no maverick. After McCain’s death, Graham found himself a new father-figure.

Graham famously called Trump a “nut job” and a “jackass” during the 2016 campaign. But Graham calculated that avoiding a primary fight required him to become Trump’s golf buddy. Graham told the New York Times’s Mark Leibovich that his courtship of Trump was “to try to be relevant.” Instead, Lindsey O. Graham put the "O" in oleaginous.

Graham played down his hawkish line on Iran after a Trump scolding. After the Mueller report came out, Graham used his Judiciary Committee chairmanship to echo Trump’s talking points and to spread falsehoods. Graham bravely promised there would be “holy hell to pay” if Trump fired Jeff Sessions as attorney general. Trump later fired Sessions; Graham defended it.

Now he’s walking back his impeachment views. Twenty years ago, as a Clinton impeachment manager, Graham said a president’s failure to comply with subpoenas was impeachable because it “took the power from Congress.” Now the Trump administration is ignoring subpoenas wholesale — and Graham is attacking the lawmakers who issued them.

In his Thursday news conference, Graham couldn’t quite bring himself to exonerate Trump: “I don’t want to comment on substance,” he said. “I’m not here to tell you that Donald Trump has done nothing wrong.” He merely raged against procedures, arguing, “The process in the House today, I think, is a danger to the future of the presidency.”

ABC News’s Terry Moran reminded him that during Watergate, lawmakers took depositions behind closed doors before there was an impeachment resolution, just as the House is doing now.

Graham did not dispute this.

CNN’s Ted Barrett reminded him that during the Clinton impeachment, House Republicans took private depositions before public hearings. “Why was it okay then and not now?”

“The inquiry itself became very public,” Graham replied.

And so will this one — leaving Graham looking foolish once more."

come on PB, the Sun is indeed frustratingly liberal, but they do an excellent job exposing corruption and are quite willing to do so whoever is in power in the City...which is always Dems, so it's a matter of which Dems. The corrupt or less corrupt...

they love a good corruption story.

On the clean-up, they covered it in the regular news, and editorially they "mocked" it when they pointed out that this was largely a stunt with no legs...not that ongoing consistent engagement wouldn't have been welcomed.

Folks out in the burbs are unaware of the local efforts that go on in many tough Balt city neighborhoods to clean up their alleys on their own, as well as the orgs who are consistently deep in the trenches trying to help folks. This isn't a liberal or conservative effort per se, as I know quite a few engaged, otherwise 'conservative' folks who mentor kids in tough schools, help start charter schools, help build/renovate homes, etc. It's about actually caring about those with less, the entire community in which we live, not just our own neighborhoods.
