You know it is not a simple as that. There were Americans left behind in Afghanistan because they were making sure families of diplomats and other soft targets were evacuated ahead of them. The Taliban are systematically slaughtering anyone who worked with us including their families still today.

Stat of the day:

He has his personal cell phone so I am assuming they are allowed to communicate. We are already on the ground there.

My nephew is an Airborne Ranger was just emergency deployed first Poland but my sister just texted me he landed in Ukraine......

Sounds like J. Jackson and Trey Lyles in deal.

An Olympic tradition.

I thought it was pretty comical that MLB pulled the AS Game from Atlanta only to return to a bigger stage for the WS the same year.

I was wrong, it varies but most get paid: How much do poll workers get paid in each state? The method varies between states with some setting a minimum hourly wage and others opting for daily compensation, but the local authorities can, and often do, pay more to ensure they get enough staff. Of the states to offer a daily stipend to poll workers, 13 of them have a minimum amount of less than $100 a day: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia Another seven areas (five states and two territories) guarantee poll workers a minimum daily stipend of at least $100 a day: Guam, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Virgin Islands In eleven states poll workers are entitled to be paid at the state or federal minimum wage or higher, on an hourly basis: Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Wyoming Three states have designated a specific hourly wage that differs from the minimum wage: Alaska, Missouri, North Dakota And poll workers in the remaining states and one territory are not bound by a state-defined minimum wage or daily stipend, leaving the decision of payment entirely in the hands of local election officials: American Samoa, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin

Poll workers are volunteers right? How can the gov't fix that? Make it a payed position?

You are right. My point being if we have to wait for a while in line to vote and you are able to vote I don't see the big deal. If I have to wait for an hour at the BMV or the SS office should we be upset? You have to even show an ID in those instances. I am not downplaying voters rights issues. It should not be hard to be allowed to vote for anyone legally able to. Why have I never seen protests in Indiana over the last 4-5 election cycles because you have to show an ID to vote? Why have voters rights groups not put a state like this into the spotlight prior to the currrent round of voter rights issues?

Ukraine is the nerve center of the Alt Right. Many former U.S. soldiers and Marines moved there and train recruits from around the world under Oleh Tyahnybok's ultranationalist Svoboda. They pay americans well, I know of a few Vet's who moved there recently.

Hmmm sounds like the Ozarks, it must be Wendy Byrde.

What about mail in voting? I thought that had a huge impact on the last election cycle. How can you get anymore easy/convenient?

Why not?

You don’t think any of them had to wait in excessive lines to vote through all that lineage? I was talking exclusively about line waiting not voting rights.
