The thing about “activists” is that they probably have co-conspirators , who are prepared to industrialize bad faith.

Those position markers on the floor… Who is directing this, Fritz Lang?

And its not just Canadians. I live in a country that has a common border with Russia, I’m from a country which will take a massive economic hit in a trade war and has been singled out as a prime target of such a punitive war several times by Trump. I have a friend who is Lebanese-Ukrainian (great combo these days!) and lives in Kyiv. The fact that we are all in such danger and don’t have a say at all is incredibly infuriating.

The polls are open on time. With enough paper ballots (just in case) and the machines are set to zero. All is good. Line is long. :+1:

Larry Krasner started his career as a public defender, and then criminal defense attorney who did a lot of pro bono civil rights work. He ran for Philly DA as a progressive reformer, and has followed through on that. Republicans hate him. Republicans in the Pennsylvania legislature tried to impeach him a couple of years ago and failed, with the courts ruling that none of their allegations were impeachable offenses. Basically, they accused him of actually following through on his campaign promises to do things like bail reform and thought they could impeach him for that.

Thanks for the warning… I wonder how many of these people will be in the metro… I’m guessing at least some will end up in my suburban county, since the Republicans here have been whinging about how we’ve shifted blue these last few years.

Yes, let’s get this done and over with. Let’s send Harris to the White House and send Turmp to the trash dump of history.

(ETA: My sincere apologies to anyone whose breakfast I may have ruined with Cheetolini’s picture.)

From the early morning show in the metro this morning…

I guess we’re a “decider county” now!

The only thing better would be a debilitating stroke that silences him for the rest of his life.

Also TFG’s sentencing is still scheduled for Nov 26, my birthday.

I know exactly what I want for my birthday and it’s not cake.

Wishing you a happy birthday!

@knoxblox : I almost wrote “send Turmp into an apoplectic fit.” It might happen. I hope his mind snaps so sharply that even his most loyal followers abandon him.

Also, why do we elect coroners? Seems odd to me.

It is. Or bonfire night as t’were known around these parts. Where all good children got a chance to construct an effigy of old Guido and go door to door asking for cash before burning it on a pile of discarded furniture soaked in paraffin. Happy days. A penny for the guy?
