I'll be pleasantly surprised if it proves to be true and they are available to the prosecutors. Yes, regardless.

Boy, would that be a shocker to a lot of (potentially formerly) people!

Clinton will surely be protected.

I don't care if she's protected or not. If she is on them, I want her exposed.

(Yes, Bill, too, whom you meant.)

Wow.

Ann Coulter is pushing for McGrath to beat McConnell!

(And all because McConnell ostensibly supported Kobach's primary opponent in Kansas, because Kobach is "the greatest living Republican," in her deeply informed opinion!)

Curious what the legality of painting BLM on public streets really is? I know that when they painted that thin blue line on streets inmany towns in NJ it was declared illegal by the feds.

It is a political statement. Should it be painted on a public roadway?  And is legal to do so?

I'm not quibbling about the message. Just curious about whether it's legal to deliver it in this manner.

After all, I am guessing that if I took blue and white paint and wrote Support Israel on the street, their would be a legal consequence.

So what is the legal stature of this political message delivery system? Anyone?

I taught Art courses at a private school in Potomac and a bunch of the boys were targgers who kept getting into rich kid trouble. I told the brats the difference between graffiti art and vandalism was permission.

When the mayors of these towns approve or in the case of DC commission the work I would think legality is not a huge problem.

So...to extend this, if the mayor, town council, etc, approve, it's not a problem?

Wouldn't that apply to all symbols and/or expressions of political pov,, too?

Like rainbow crosswalks?

Exactly.

They have to be problematic in and of themselves. There are limits, but these are not they.

They have 6 openings, Tony.

None involves the trees.

Anne Coulter backs Democratic candidate running against Mitch.

I assume this story was down the page from the lead story Flying Pigs Strafe Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as Seventh Seal Cracked Open in Frozen Hell Convention.

This is assault

How so?

The sign is on the front door.

If you go in, you have volunteered for a rectal thermometer. Don't want one? Wear a mask or don't go in.

Just not that complicated. And less of an assault than giving unattended children sugary drinks and a puppy!

About that mail-in election idea.
 

Carol Tims , who lives in Atlanta,
was surprised when she saw a USPS letter in her mail addressed to “ Cody” Tims because Cody was her late pet cat that has been dead for 12 years( but technically still in her home in a cremation can).
The letter was asking Cody to register to vote.
"There's a huge push but if they're trying to register cats, I'm not sure who else they're trying to register said Tims.
The Secretary of State's Office says the application did not come from their office. They say third party groups often use mailing lists to get names and addresses. They released a statement saying: 
"Third-party groups all over the country are targeting Georgia to help register qualified individuals. This group makes you wonder what these out-of-town activists are really doing. Make no mistake about it, this office is dedicated to investigating all types of fraud."


And in West Virginia



ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA – Thomas Cooper, a mail carrier in Pendleton County, charged with “Attempt to Defraud the Residents of West Virginia of a Fair Election.” In April the Clerk of Pendleton County received “2020 Primary Election COVID-19 Mail-In Absentee Request" forms from eight voters on which the voter's party-ballot request appeared to have been altered.
An ensuing investigation found five ballot requests that had been altered from “Democrat” to “Republican.” On three other requests, the party wasn’t changed, but the request had been altered. 
Cooper was responsible for the mail delivery of the three towns from which the tampered requests were mailed: Onego, Riverton, and Franklin, West Virginia. According to the affidavit, Cooper admitted to altering some of the requests, saying it was a joke.
