Elections 2023-2024

Yeah, that’s exactly what I would have suggested — she was right there at the counter, anyway — but by the time she reported back, it was a done deal.

20-somethings don’t voluntarily think of spending money on things they don’t actually have to, so it’s not surprising she didn’t think of that very easy solution.

We’ll check to make sure her vote is counted. At this point, that’s all we can do.

It’s also hard to buy just one stamp :confused:
I hope her vote is counted, as it damned well should be

Can’t believe hundreds of years of vaccine research and progress against murder germs hinge on if a couple yinzers think Trump will cut their grocery bill by 80 cents.

Devices found at both scenes Monday and at the ballot box targeted earlier in the month were marked with the words “Free Gaza,” The New York Times reported, citing two law enforcement officials. Investigators are trying to determine whether the suspect is a pro-Palestinian activist or someone trying to sow discord, according to the newspaper.

I honestly had not expected them to entertain the idea of a false flag

Other countries do exist, you know (talking to the person who wrote this, not you, @womanhood_deferred). Yes, the world will be impacted if a huge population loses immunity, but research won’t stop elsewhere.

Projection, as usual.

As you might expect, the only people who like Trump are the far right.

Here in Finland even the majority of our right-wing racist party voters wanted Harris to win. Which is understandable, as we’re next door to Russia, have a long and fraught history with them, and really would rather spend money and materiel on helping Ukraine kick them out, than have to deal with Russian aggression on our own turf.

It’s very similar here in Poland too.

Seeing interesting yard signs here, at houses I know are hard right. Things to the effect of “The choice is simple: Vance or Walz” The first one I saw struck me as odd. I’ve seen a few more since. First off, I don’t think this is the flex they think it is, second, WTF are they talking about? Yes, if Il Douche wins, I could see him getting 25th amendmented almost immediately, but how do they think Harris will be eliminated? (Actually, typing that, I’m not sure I want to know…)

Who knows what weird new theory they have. Maybe they think a woman would not be able to govern and would be forced by the party to resign? Not even worth speculating about.

“Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Thursday against CBS Broadcasting Inc. and CBS Interactive Inc., demanding $10 billion in damages over the network’s “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. The suit was immediately condemned by First Amendment attorneys, who called it “frivolous and dangerous.””

If the President’s salary is $400,000 - he must have been expecting a ton of graft to sue for $10 billion.

I found this useful.
It unpacked a lot of questions and origin stories for me.
It does have a few hopeful moments.

The problem with Trump’s patriotism is that it does not exist.

I can buy that W., for example, believed in America and wanted to do what was best for it, no matter how terrible a president he was, how misguided his ideas of making things better were, and how much damage he caused.

I can’t believe, even for a second, that Trump would care about America or the American people, or anything else except his own immediate gratification. His “patriotism” is a crass, half-assed surface glitz and nothing more.

This is not terrifying or anything. I’m sure Il Douche would have a plan to address it, though.
