"SNIP..........

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will promote a bill with Donald Trump “aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting,” USA Today reports.

“Johnson will hold a joint press conference with Trump on Friday at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence, where the top House Republican will tout the legislation to “elevate the issue of non-citizens voting in federal elections.”

...........SNIP"

Applegrove:

building a 'retaining wall' to make it look like their election-was-stolen big lie is concrete. Humans build human constructs (human created fictions) in order to bond together and get things done. Think democracies, religion, banking and now Trump's big lie. Trump is building his construct. Are they going to re-edit the Bible too? The King Don version?

1. But non-citizens already can't vote

Huh?

17. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

18. That's what I said to myself. Guess they're hoping the

the Putin cult doesn't know that.

Mikey trying to save his job.

22. You just be quiet!!!1!1

Donny says all non- citizens can just walk into a voting station and poof, they can vote.

If Donny says it's so, why, that's good enough for me!1!11!

2. Even when TSF loses this election, we will have his policies pushed thru

By his followers in congress, senate, states. He will be like a president in exile directing his edicts

[._.]

3. Kind of a non issue.

In the United States, non-citizens are not allowed to vote in federal elections. This includes elections for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential elections. The prohibition was established by a law passed by the U.S. Congress in 1961. Violation of this law can result in a fine, imprisonment for up to one year, or both

4. Non-citizens already can't vote in federal elections.

So yeah, this is a lot of grandstanding and hot air.

I'm a bit surprised non-citizens can vote at all. Seems like a no-brainer benefit of citizenship. Unfortunately Trump will get some traction from the misinformation and spin.

5. Non-citizen's can't vote......................

but alas the cult believes it, they rather believe lies than the truth.

[Freethinker65]

6. Democrats should add amendments insisting that unicorns and vampires also cannot vote.

[Cha]

20. lol and those who have allegiance to Putin.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

7. Non-Citizens cannot not vote

This is stupid even coming from TFG. Maybe we need to prohibit gold fishes from voting

[Ping Tung]

8. Will he also sponsor one forbidding minor fruit flies from voting?

What a dolt.

[unblock]

9. Propaganda - to make idjits think that non-citizens can and did vote before

And therefore, heinously right-wing headline (by USA Today) neglecting to point out that it's a stunt

[Cha]

21. Total Propaganda!

Oh and Fuck "USA today".

[getagrip_already]

10. Will they extend that to include naturalized cirizens?

One has to wonder if that's what they are after.

But it would take a change to the const.

[LeftinOH]

11. Next up: A bill to make crime illegal!

[no_hypocrisy]

12. I'm a poll worker. We check ID.

We haven’t had a non-citizen vote — ever.

[WarGamer]

13. It's caled "performatory legislation"...

Or "masturbatory legislation"...

[tanyev]

14. Next up: Martians not allowed to buy property in the U.S.!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

15. Here is a map of all the states where non-citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections.

16. None of them really believe this shit is necessary

It's just more distraction and projection.

Do you know how hard it is to get actual citizens to vote? They know damn well that people who aren't even citizens don't have time for that.

By what mechanism do they think a non-citizen can vote? How would their name magically appear on the voter list? I'll wait.

19. It is just making their lies seem concrete so more people will follow the lying narrative.

[lindysalsagal]

23. Which of his idiots coughed up that? Best they could conjure up.

Idiots.
