    Hasn't early voting and mail-in voting been around for a very long time? What needs changing exactly?

    If dems cared about relief, why did they include ANYTHING unrelated?

    You haven't defined what you mean by "pork."

    And again, if you had suggested search terms in mind, you would have suggested it already! :roflol:

    1) The info needed to make the search was already in the post that originally referred to "pork." All that was required was a bare minimum of deductive reasoning and effort on your part. I'm not going to speculate why you chose not to invest in either one.

    2) Knowing you would choose not to invest in the bare minimum of deductive reasoning and effort, I spoon-fed you the answer.

    3) You are welcome.

    Again, you require information to be spoon-fed to you. Most adults would be highly embarrassed by this. Why aren't you? [​IMG]

    You're assuming that it's totally easy to Google what someone means. You had the advantage of knowing what 'pork-barrelling' is. Anyway, it doesn't even mean 'unrelated things.'

    Like I said: The bare minimum of deductive reasoning and effort. Whether you are unable or unwilling to come up with that is something I will not publicly speculate about. [​IMG]

    You are using your interpretation of "deductive reasoning" and saying that it should be able to result in knowing what people mean. I'm sure that you've ALWAYS known what people are talking about! :roflol:

    Did you actually intend to use this creepy kissing emoticon?

    Non-responsive. If you claim there's "pork" in the Heroes Act...you need to define and detail.

    If you oppose for some other reason you need to detail that opposition

    What the hell are you talking about? I didn't say "pork!" YOU did! And you haven't explained what you mean by it!

    Yes you didn't respond, choosing instead to not explain what the hell you mean by "pork." That means there's no way that I can respond.

    I like to know EXACTLY what people mean in THEIR own words. Not rely on people like you to provide what YOU think they mean!

    Early voting and mail-in voting rules differ from state to state. That part of the bill would get every state to include such provisions.

    As far as I can tell, all of their items are related to pandemic relief in one way or another, even the SALT tax issue.
