So much for the people who claimed, "That could never happen here!"
If I had a nickel for how many times I've heard that and questioned it, I'd be a rich woman by now.
Never say never.

I'm seriously thinking of dropping my and Mr. Lani's ballots in a ballot box and bypassing the mail entirely. There are usually a few right in town. So many of our past poll workers are over 65. I hope there is a plan for in person voting. I saw on local news that high school students are being recruited. The current Postmaster General has ordered 100s of mail-sorting machines removed. Talk about your naked - I can't think of a word bad enough - cheating, I guess just covers it. This is what I plan on doing for the November election. Our mail has already slowed down a lot here. I'll get my absentee ballot, then drop it off.
My dd worked the polls in California one year. I think she was in high school, maybe college. It must have been a primary as she was out of school. She got paid something like $100 for the day.

and look at what our extremely corrupt president is having the post office do. "Happening now in Manhattan. Mailboxes getting removed and put on trucks has been reported in dozens of cities across the country. What's your impression? source: New York Times/Azi"

Happening also in Oregon (and I've heard in Montana as well).

i just read someone comment that there is a mailbox they always use (the ones that are in front of the post office) and she went to put something in after hours and the mailbox was locked for the first time since she's been using it (years apparently). so she had to return the next day when the post office was open to drop it off even though because of covid it's what she was trying to avoid in the first place.
this attack on our postal system is insanity. i say this every time after whatever onion headline that is unfortunately our every day american life these days happens that i cannot even believe anyone would vote for him at this point. after these blatant attacks, unbridled and unfettered corruption.
are those people so easily and stupidly swayed by a conman that they will vote against their own interests? pretty sure all of us use the postal service in our daily lives. all of a sudden you guys who love trump don't want to use the postal system? because that's what they're going towards. dismantling it and breaking it all so the giant puffball of a manbaby can try to steal the election? are you fucking serious?
to those who are so anti democratic candidates, i guarantee you that nothing they do will harm you. you're not one of the 1% that would benefit from the corruption of the republicans. not even close! but go on and think this jerk will protect you.

Fin, you give them too much credit.
I don't think they have a clue about what's going on. I think they vote republican because that's what their daddy did and his daddy did too.
Vote Republican, stop at a bar and grill before going home, have a few beers with the boys, talk about how the Dems are destroying the country, get in your pick up, go home, have some more beer, and fall asleep on the couch watching FAUX news until your wife calls you for supper.

And another thing. If they hate the Dems so much and all those handouts, they should not accept Social Security. Give it back. Or, Medicare and Medicaid either. Do not use those pinko commie programs! Be a proud and self sufficient Republican. You don't need no stinkin' handouts.
Put your money where your mouth is!

tucker carlson is a d-bag I half expected you to type something closer to "F***** Carlson"Judy, I thought it was the second syllable that got the stress. Thank you for telling me it's the first syllable (and I'm in California...).

Holly Gail, The article I got that from also said it isn't pronounced "Camel-ah" to rhyme with Pamela, or "come-AHH-lah." I was pronouncing it to rhyme with Pamela.

Put your money where your mouth is! exactly. never take advantage of your medicare once you turn of age! after all, you should be able to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and pay $1000 a month in private insurance with $50000 deductible. come on now! stop taking what you already paid for! how dare you take a hand out. democratic socialism is evil. they'll try to keep you healthy!

I have never despised or hated a president. I didn't agree with a few but they didn't make me gag or turn the channel when they were on.
I'm happy to say I still don't. While I despise the ghoul desecrating the WH at this moment, he is not, in my mind, an honest to goodness president. He's a fraud, a fake, a plant, an unqualified, maniacal jerk, selected to keep Hillary out of the WH.
I do abhor him but he's not, in my heart and soul, a true president. He's a fraud, a rich man who would probably be nothing if it weren't for his daddies blood money. IMHO, of course.
He's not an honorable or decent man.
He's disgusting and deplorable and should make every decent American ashamed to have him represent US.
I know we can do better. Heck, my cats have more dignity, grace, manners, and humility, than this low life.
