Expect weird new panty twists from Kiid and friends.

Just as bad and inexcusable as it sounds.

There are only about six threads to pull in the whole tapestry.

[kiidcarter8]

Now kiidcarter8 has to support the bomb theory because Trump said it was a bomb before he had any idea what he was talking about.



No.  He didn't

[barton]

Yes,  that's surreal (45 on faux and fiends).   The paranoia (responsible public policy to prevent more lethal outbreaks is actually a conspiracy to deny me a win in November), the near-total detachment from reality (it just goes away),  the crackpottery, the early-stage Alzheimer's level of inability to grasp and retain facts or follow simple math.

If American can't cast enough votes to get Joe 50.2% of the electoral college, then Regina,  Saskatchewan looking good as a retirement spot.  About eight hours from us,  maybe nine if I'm driving a Ryder truck.   Clean,  safe,  40 below zero keeps out the riffraff.   

Keeps me out, that’s for sure. Climate change will hardly take the edge off in the foreseeable future.

Well played.

In truth, I don't think we'd flee.   Too old, too stubborn,  and not quite insane enough to go farther north.   Plus clinging to the idea democracy still worth marching for,  and fascism worth subverting.   Plus the moral issue of leaving behind children and family and friends caught in the dire clutches of Trumpistan.   But hoping,  as you say,  there are only a few more threads to pull.   The wheels of justice grind slow...

“We all have the right to make a living. We all have the right to actually do what we want to do as Americans. We are promised liberty,” he added. “They have actually put such oppressive restrictions on us that it’s just unacceptable to us.”

We all have the right to actually do what we want to do as Americans.

And there is where he totally fails to understand the country he lives in, how laws work, and what freedom actually means.

No doubt he walks into restaurants barefoot and shirtless, demanding service.

And I am sure he objects to abortions, because women don't "have the right to actually do what they want to do as Americans."

Nor would he approve of women breast-feeding in public, let alone walking around topless where other men could see them.

"FREEDOM (for me)!" he cried out.

Deaths down today compared to last Wednesday.

Maybe it is the beginning of a trend. Average daily is still over 1,100, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

(Suppose HHS finally noticed those numbers, too?)

They mistook the kids' van for the motorcycle that was being sought.

Yes, you got that right.

The New York City Board of Elections disqualified 84,208 vote-by-mail ballots — 26% of the total cast — in the June 23 Democratic presidential primary, according to a report cited Wednesday evening by the New York Post.

The Post reported:

The city BOE received 403,213 mail-in ballots for the June 23 Democratic presidential primary.

But the certified results released Wednesday revealed that only 318,995 mail-in ballots were counted.

That’s means 84,208 ballots were not counted or invalidated — 26 percent of the total.

One out of four mail-in ballots were disqualified for arriving late, lacking a postmark or failing to include a voter’s signature, or other defects.

Votes are still being counted from the June 23 primary, where several close elections were only decided weeks later.

Earlier on Wednesday, Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) declared victory — more than six weeks later — over her primary challenger.

New York State encouraged voters to vote by mail rather than in person, citing the risk of coronavirus.

Nearly 2 million voters statewide requested mail-in ballots, and the system was overwhelmed, according to an earlier report by NBC-4 New York that described “a tidal wave of absentee ballots that overwhelmed a system which typically handles only around 5% of the vote,” and fears of “disenfranchisement.”

Tells me that neither you nor the NY Post can do arithmetic.

They invalidated 21% of the total, Ward.

They counted almost 80% of the total.

Still, way too many.
