The Ignorance of California - Stephen A Smith stunned after Rep Kevin Kiley educates him on California voter ID ban

Congressman Kevin Kiley explained California's voter ID restrictions during a SiriusXM interview, prompting a surprised reaction from Stephen A Smith as debate over SAVE Act intensifies -- Rep. Kevin Kiley explained California's voter ID during an appearance Thursday on "Straight Shooter with Stephen A," on SiriusXM, prompting a stunned response from host Stephen A. Smith as the conversation turned to election integrity and federal reform. "California does not have voter ID," Kiley said. "You don’t need to present it to register. You don’t need to present it to vote." "What!? That’s why the SAVE Act has been proposed right there … the state of California," said Smith, shocked.Kiley argued California laws prevent local governments from setting their own requirements, claiming it is "banned" within the state. "The state passed a law forbidding voter ID," Kiley said, adding that localities, cities and counties are not allowed to enact their own standards. Smith admitted he was unaware of the policy.Kiley framed voter ID as the global norm, claiming America is one of few democracies that haven't enacted proof of citizenship legislation. "There’s maybe like two or three democracies in the world that don’t have it," Kiley noted. "This is just kind of a standard administrative requirement in a well-functioning democracy."The conversation widened beyond elections, with Kiley discussing California's high cost of living and gas prices, arguing that high costs within the Golden State are driven more by state policy than global events. "We have $5.56 per gallon right now in California … nearly $2 higher than the national average," he said. "Our regulations are impossible to comply with.""We have the highest housing prices … highest electricity rates … highest taxes," he said. "That’s why we have the highest poverty in California when you factor in cost of living."---https://www.foxnews.com/media/stephen-a-smith-stunned-after-rep-kevin-kiley-educates-california-voter-id-ban

You lose all credibilty when you can't answer my question as to why gas is going up and the stock market is going down.  It is a simple question.  Probably should consider not littering this forum with thread starts.

You might remember when Miller solemnly promised, swearing on a stack of Bibles, that he would limit his thread starts and "responses " I opined that he wouldn't keep his promise.

 

Whatever it is in his life that makes him crave attention so, maybe he should consider trying to serve that addiction in ways other than trying to start arguments.

 Your asinine post has nothing to do with the posted topic.

I would suggest, if you have a high tolerance for pain, that you pay more attention to Mr. Miller's post because it is very obvious who is responsible:  "It's Biden's fault."  On the other hand, attending to Miller posts can be excruciating.   If you appreciate sound logic, intellectual consistency, and proper use of evidence, you will be traumatized.  To say he has descended to sophomoric logic, would be an insult to all immature sophomores.

For the crime of expressing disagreement with Miller, he has labeled you "ignorant," an "imbecile," and said you possess no common sense.

 

This from someone who continually moans and bitches about the incivility in the Sink.

 

I would say to him, "Asshole, heal thyself."

Since the only "topic" of this thread is you lying out your ugly little ass and trying to start arguments, Jerry's post has EVERYTHING to do with it.

 

I notice that you're still too chickenshit to answer Jerry's question. Coward😛😛😛!

David is all over me in the Bob Dancer comments as well.  He doesn't remember I criticized Biden up and down while he was in charge.  David really has a small mind.  Kind of like a child.  I just wish he could answer my one question about gas prices and stock market today.  Today is the key part of that question David.  So don't answer with your Biden BS.  

 

For those interested, go over to the Dancer column this week which is solely dedicated to me and my sarcasm.  All I've done is criticize Dancer for being arrogant or cheap. So now I'm a complete troll.  Anybody with a sound mind and can read his blog and see how full of himself he is.  Am I wrong about that?  If so, I'll shut up.  

 

So Bobby boy writes a column about me so all the goons that fawn all over him weekly will come to his defense.  Mission accomplished but notice that I invited little Bobby over here to the KS to debate with me.  Crickets of course.  

 

Kevin, I have to ask.  You don't have to answer but he supposedly asked Anthony to ban one person from making comments on his blog.  Is that you?  (I'm pretty sure I will be #2 shortly)  God forbid we attack the great and worldly famous Bob Dancer!

Jerry, I'll answer your question honestly. He did ask Anthony for that, but Anthony pointed out that Dancer was in control of his own Comments section and could remove any posts he didn't like, mine or anyone else's. So I did make the occasional comment--not often--and Dancer sometimes deleted and sometimes ignored them, depending on whether I had expressed general agreement or disagreement with him.

 

My own opinion of Dancer is that a blimp hangar would be too small for his ego and that he's kind of a douchebag. His columns ceased to offer any usable or practical advice some time ago; first, he devolved to long screeds about how to gain 0.000003% EV on Double Bonus by recognizing the strategy changes needed when you have the 3 of Diamonds, the 7 of Clubs, and it's Tuesday. Then we got to hear his travelogues, how he finagled room comps, and most of all, how unbearably stupid he thought his wife Bonnie was and how he took her dancing and on cruises to humor/placate her. And what do we get now? "I play advantage slots but I'm not going to share a single useful detail with you because that might impact my profits."

 

I must add that his VP strategy guides are still the best and most concise and easy to use I've ever seen.

 

Fun fact: I once appeared with him on Richard Munchkin's radio show to speak (at some length) about the VP games and conditions in Reno and how they were considerably better than Vegas (as is the case now).

 

Miller is an LVA member for the sole purpose of being an arguing asshole. That is likely his sole reason for existence. I'll take a look at the Dancer column. Why the fuck we needed Miller's opinion is beyond me, but the only reason I even mention him is to reiterate that Dancer can control which comments stay and which are deleted, so Dancer and Miller are birds of a feather, bros, simpatico. Which is quite a black mark for Dancer.

 

I think Dancer is a very intelligent jerkass. And without naming names, I have to add that many people I've talked to share that opinion. One of them was a guy named Antigone Cortisone who runs a business called the Los Angeles Admirer, a professional backgammon players' website.
