The online form just needs an SSN, but I suspect it cross references with their ID and drivers license systems:

Contact the Secretary of State's office:

303-894-2200

Colorado constitution:

https://leg.colorado.gov/sites/default/files/images/olls/crs2024-title-00.pdf

"Only a citizen of the United States who has attained the age of eighteen years, has resided in this state for such time as may be prescribed by law, and has been duly registered as a voter if required by law shall be qualified to vote at all elections."

https://dmv.colorado.gov/new-to-colorado

That last dmv site indicates the residency requirements are that you:

"Own or operate a business in Colorado OR"

"Are gainfully employed in Colorado OR"

"Reside in Colorado for 90 consecutive days"

And it sounds like if you're retired, you may strike out on all three counts? You may be in some sort of electoral limbo. I'd get in touch with the highest level person you can at CO, and if they can't grant you eligibility maybe try to vote at your previous state if you still have residence there under their laws?

If there were a single poll watcher on site they could challenge the eligibility of each of these individuals.

We clearly have people filming this, but not a single trained poll watcher ready to challenge? It's critical we have younger and fair-minded people signed up to watch and work elections. See from this that you clearly are needed.

I'm looking to take a little bit off the table. I am ultimately long on the stock but it's out of proportion to the underlying.

IMO this is not a "Biden preparing to kill US citizens" thing, but more of a "white hats updating us on the mechanics of military intelligence being used on US soil".

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/10/24/far-right-suggests-military-just-authorized-lethal-force-against-americans-ahead-of-election-it.html

"Directive 5240.01 has a narrow focus: It only addresses military intelligence, and the section that has circulated online specifically deals with intelligence assistance to civilian law enforcement. "

"The paragraph that contains the term "lethal force" refers to a requirement that the Secretary of Defense -- the highest level of the Defense Department -- must now authorize military intelligence assistance to civilian law enforcement when lethal force might be involved."

"This is not an independent source of authority," Nunn said. "We really should look at this as an administrative safeguard that is being put in place."

A good theory. A sort of variation/extension on the theory that it was revenge for him complaining about having to provide all those bennies to the migrant invasion.

TBH it's a fixable issue if pressure is applied in the right spot, and people sure would notice if they could order late night McDonalds ice cream again...

Agree. A multi-precinct voting center is what comes to mind.

I think it's someone testing a forum sliding/spam technique.

Note that you could make this post anywhere aside from a kid or young adult forum and draw comments...

That one sounded like she had been a constituent during one of Kamala's early jobs.

That's top tier date fagging.

Just to clarify. The phrases (called) and (declared) aren't part of the drops.

Would that be Operation Rainbow?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Israeli_operation_in_Rafah

I note that there was another operation with the same name in Syria that seems to have taken naming precedence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rainbow_(Syrian_civil_war)


I am finding lots of operations related to tunnels, or that had incidental tunnel activity, but nothing specific to them being expanded. Is that a theory or is it something publicly acknowledged?

Also see the Qasem Soleimani connection. I guess a sort of tunnel godfather.

I was told in training this year that we were to allow voters to take pictures of their ballot.

If you have a printing voting system, rather than a bubble system, it would not be crazy to video the process from selection to printout...

W/respect to the Occupation Chapter of the Law of War, they always frame it in terms of places like Iraq, but it feels to me like they are discussing the US occupation in a "hidden in plain sight" sort of way:

Agree. Feel like the TV direction they are going makes more sense & has the natural alignment with Trump's skills.

It's easy to envision Trump running a faith-based conglomerate that supplants some of Fox/Netflix/Youtube. Biblical cartoons for kids and young adults, movies & television series that inspire us rather than degrade us and make us fearful. News channels that investigate rather than deliver the 3:00 AM narrative. With Trump as the master of ceremonies overseeing it.

Genuine question from someone just beginning to pull at the Israel/Palestine wire tangle.

Do you think Hezbollah & Hamas are genuinely antagonistic entities to Israel's interests? They never make any meaningful gains or put up effective defense. Their activity is uniformly cited by the press to justify military action on Israel's part. Their existence is justification for a permanent flow of arms & intelligence to Israel, to a degree that our representatives have dual citizenship and are far more consistent and ardent in serving Israel than the US.

In what ways are Hezbollah & Hamas problematic for Israel?

Could this actually be an unwinding of Israeli proxy groups, being sold to the public as an Israeli military victory?
