I filed a complaint about Todd and Scott who put hold against me registering by myself which impacts my mental health disabilities and that the hold policy doesn't provide a reasonable accommodation to my disabilities and thus violates the Rehabilitation Act and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) I filed one before and I was told to see Scott the boss of Todd and proponent of the hold against me. He did not tell me then he was the cause of the hold and stated then the hold would never be taken away. This time I asked for someone outside the Disability Resource Center to investigate the hold. I emailed two lawyers at the same firm to ask for their help either. I called the firm and asked the one who is not on vacation but works at home to call me.

It won't sway their votes. So, they kind of get what they deserve. Fools. Sadly, we are in the same boat with them.
Amys, I hope you get that phone call soon. Keep us posted.

Sadly, we are in the same boat with them. i know, that's the sad part. they come out in droves to vote and their votes all get counted because republicans know exactly what keeps them in office. meanwhile, anyone else who would prefer to have something else is discouraged from voting, districts drawn to get the votes to end up a certain way, or votes mysteriously vanish. but by all means let's focus all encouragement on the voters who consistently vote against their own interests. repeatedly.

Voting against their own interests. See what I mean? We don't have to worry about being dumbed down. We are already there. Sigh.

amyrs, good luck! I hope you're able to get registered. Keep us posted. Voting against their own interests is so prevalent in my state it's become a way of life. I'll never understand it, but it is what it is so as much as it makes me furious, I've pretty much accepted that it is going to happen. The people who do that, who either are not able or simply don't use any critical thinking to actually determine the impact of their vote on their own lives are exactly the type of people that Trump preys on. He manipulates them so smoothly, and they follow him so blindly right off a cliff all the while blaming the Democrats for their problems because Trump, Fox, and conservative commentators told them the Democrats are doing this to them. On what I consider a positive note, however, I was very concerned about my city opening back up yesterday. Retail stores were allowed to open as well as restaurants at half capacity. Yesterday we were out in the car around lunch time, and I was pleased to see that even though that was allowed to happen evidently most people were smart enough not to rush out and do it. All the restaurants we passed except for one were still only open for drive-thru, take out, or delivery. We passed one that had a sign indicating they were open for dine-in, but it looked like they were empty. It looked like retail had not re-opened as parking lots were empty. I know that's not good for the economy, but it is good for saving lives so I was glad to see it.

Texas Gov is opening movie theaters at 25% capacity (unless your county has 5 or less cases, then 50%). How dumb? Even at 25% capacity, so many surfaces touched! Movie theaters should, IMO, be one of the last things opened. And companies have films on hold, so it's not like there are new ones out anyway -why risk it? I fully expect to see the cases go way up in 10-14 days because of the openings already going on here.

In the past when we were at war companies didn't cry about losing money. They became more creative. They switched gears and made things people needed to survive, stay healthy, and safe.
We might not have a human enemy threatening to harm or kill us, but our lives are being threatened.
There must be something corporations can produce, for a while, to keep them in business and to keep us safe and sound at the same time.

DotRen, people do not have to go to the movies just because they can. WTH is wrong with people?
No really. When did we give up Thought and Reason and just follow the crowd?
I don't get it.

It's amazing how easily so many people gave up even trying to think for themselves. Is this how it happened in Germany? It was just so easy to take the path of least resistance.

Just had a junk email (which I deleted without reading), but the subject line was "Will You Vote For Donald Trump In November?" Not even if Hell froze over!!!!!

yes and it was easier to play the blame game for their bum economy. the racists in the WH spent 3 years pointing at immigrants (and look at what happened in el paso as a result) and now the chinese for the virus. and now he's encouraging gun nuts all over again. we're living in scary times.
a black man tweeted a picture of one of the lockdown protestors wearing a full head hazmat mask and carrying an automatic weapon and said something to the effect of "you think this would go over well if i wore this same getup at a BLM rally?"

The thing in the WH is an evil man and a terrible president. His base are mostly immature, always angry white men and the women who love them. I'm not sure WTH they're always so angry about. The whole world isn't enough for them? What else do they want?
The thing in the WH has no idea how to be a leader. He's more of the mob boss type. That's why he loves these angry White men. No need to think - just react. No need to have a conversation - just yell and scream. No need to share - take it all. No need to live peaceful when you can be at war.
As long as all of the above is going on the thing in the WH doesn't have to do a damn thing except keep counting all his money. He's a fake, a fraud, a liar, and a thief. He's not a president. He couldn't care less about the citizens of the USA. He cares about himself and his money. How many times have you heard him start one of his "pat me on the back and tell me how wonderful I am" talks with the word You? It's always "I". I, I, I. He's a disgrace and the people who support him are disgraceful.

"You" is not a word in his vocabulary. Neither are kind, empathy, concern, or even humanity.

agreed. and even if he does lose in november (slim chance at this point unfortunately unless the bozos of the US wake up and realize he's working against them), i'm sure he will find any which way possible to drag out his stay. i don't see him leaving unless it's by force kicking and screaming.
