That’s good. People need to keep seeing that.

I think the turtle squawked because it felt itself get harpooned.

Do you harpoon turtles?

Turtles squawking is also new to me.   Maybe it was a mock turtle.
The Song of Solomon (2:12) talks of spring being when "the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." If turtles have voices, clearly they can squawk, no?

The responsibility for us ordinary citizens

Working against voter suppression is job number 1. It has to be done on the ground.

Some good ideas there.  My latest car purchase, this summer, was partly done with poll transportation in mind.  We have a fair number of people out here who have some difficulty getting to their polling station.  I will be available all voting day, and during the early voting period.
How is your voting district burdened by voter ‘ suppression’?

Have a sardine.

You're the one who made it a question of suppression.  Bart just said he was providing rides to the polls. 

You're not even good at sealioning.

Paging Matt Damon! 

Wonder what would happen if we spent a few billion dollars helping El Salvador gather and retain rainwater and restore the rule of law, instead of spending it on a giant wall to keep its most desperate refugees out. 

Maybe if we could disguise them as Norwegians, the administration would be more receptive to such ideas.

The stuck squawker is helping insure that the mock president gets impeached

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Do not read this with a full bladder.

But Trump on Tuesday nonetheless declared himself “the least racist person” in the world, despite his recent comments and racist tweets. And he said “African American people love the job” he’s doing, despite the fact that numerous polls have shown African Americans are overwhelmingly negative in their assessments of his performance...

Forget conspiracy or obstruction, I think we have a sufficient delusional state for amendment XXV.  Section 4.

Quote
Speaking to reporters at he left the White House on Tuesday, Trump claimed the building had been flooded with thousands of letters, emails and phone calls thanking him for “getting involved” and exposing corruption.

“They really appreciate what I’m doing, and they’ve let me know it,” said the Republican president. The White House did not immediately provide any evidence backing up Trump’s claims....

Old white middle.income males. That is a vanishing demographic.

Also, only 46% of the vote and 3 million fewer votes than his opponent.

Saw a guy on the corner this morning holding a Klobuchar for President sign. That's grass roots, but splurge on a stick, you know?

WHO IS SCHERIE MURRAY? JAMAICAN IMMIGRANT REPUBLICAN WANTS TO TAKE ON ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ IN 2020

"But your representative in Washington chooses self-promotion over service, conflict over constituents, resistance over assistance," Murray adds.

Vanishing...but not dead yet.

Trump won the election...under the same system "the first Black President" did before him.
Not Trump's fault half the country can't be bothered voting.

Older folks voted for Trump?
Of course they did, they're the ones living in the real world, not dreamland.
