It’s not possible that Lindell is just doing this to get donations to fight for the recount and then just pocket the money right? Nah that can’t be it.
Full disclosure: I despise Lindell for stretching out 2020 election denial for six painful years, and for his refusal to accept the results of his own primary vote. Under no circumstances should he be trusted with an elected or appointed office. I also sleep comfortably on one of his lumpy pillows. BUT: it is not entirely unreasonable of him to want all of the ballots hand-counted if he’s going to pay for the count. I have no doubt the ballots were counted correctly in the first place but if, theoretically, there was funny business, there might have been votes for Lindell incorrectly counted for the other losing candidates which, taken together, could have put him in first place. Purely as a mathematical matter.
If they had only used it for license plate readings to find criminals or kidnaped kids, no one would have complained. But no, they had to use it to stalk women and take peeks at public pools.

Scientists worry about the penguins’ future amid changing temperatures and warming waters this year. Punta San Juan in Peru was once home to one of the largest breeding colonies of Humboldt penguins in the world. Now, just four penguins remain amid a graveyard of nearly 200 empty nests. Scientists blame this year’s Super El Niño, which continues to strengthen.
Wowzers, was not expecting to find "mysandry is real" in the overnight!
Ex-sweethreat text me yesterday, "I'm sick, I threw up, I need to go to the ER. Bring your thermometer. " Ex-sweetheart gets his medical covered by his tribe, no $500 ER copay for him, but I am NOT taking someone to the ER for "I threw up." Turned out he had a 101.5 fever. "You are sick, probably stomach flu" I told him. "What am I supposed to do? Just stay in bed?" I told him yes, stay the fuck in bed. Ex-sweetheart is INCREDIBLY active and NEVER sits down to relax, that is why he is EX-sweetheart.
Woke up at 3:30 with a migraine, took my meds and dozed a bit longer, feeling mostly fine now.
Mr gets far more ill than I do. Even with a little flu he runs a high temp, sleeps a lot, etc. Although he whines often as well.
I can usually power through. The dogs still need fed and watered. Plants watered, daily house chorse must be done. We need to eat, at least soup or toast. Some stuff I can put off, but not for long.
I'm gonna use that on DomPartner the next time he has some ailment. When he's sick, he moans about but then when you tell him to take something for his ailment, he refuses because "that makes me sleepy" or some other expected outcome. Yeah, dumbass, that's the point - stay in bed and sleep!
410: The Visigoths finally take a breather after sacking Rome for three days straight. Well, someone has to drink all this wine . . .
1859: Petroleum is discovered near Titusville, PA. The first commercially viable oil well is drilled.
1883: In a series of four explosions that can be heard thousands of miles away, the island of Krakatoa blows itself to pieces. Quite the show, by all accounts.
1896: The shortest war in history (so far) at 38 minutes is waged between the British Empire and the Sultanate of Zanzibar. Three guesses who won; first two don't count.
1927: A group of Canadian women pose a simple question to their country's Supreme Court.
1956: The UK's reactor at Calder Hall gets plugged into the national power grid. Atomkraft? Ja, bitte!
2003: The first six-party talks convene in order to try to talk North Korea down off the ledge regarding its nuclear weapons program.
And that weird lost colony just took refuge with the Native community nearby - that word was, if I remember correctly, an attempt to tell people where they were going. The legend that their disappearance was a mystery was mostly made up bullshit by people who couldn't accept white people going native, and then expanded to draw tourists.
"Some of the survivors of the Lost Colony of Roanoke may have joined the Croatan. Governor White finally reached Roanoke Island on August 18, 1590, three years after he had last seen them there, but he found his colony had been long deserted. The buildings had collapsed and "the houses [were] taken down." The few clues about the colonists' whereabouts included the letters "CROATOAN" carved into a palisade. Croatoan was the name of a nearby island (likely modern-day Hatteras Island) in addition to the local tribe of Native Americans."
I believe they used DNA to finally confirm that sometime in the last 20 years, but it's obvious to anyone who wasn't desperate for the supernatural to be real and/or racist since it happened.
Not sure there’s any other kind. Our local loon stands on the bridge and shouts profanity over a megaphone that us assholes need to be Christian. Go figure. Oh and he was a j6 pardoned guy.
Who cares about that pathetic clown?

He can go rape himself. The election wasn't remotely close.
I've done a few of my morning chores. And I sorted the small outside chest freezer. We have lots of cheese.
I didn't know you could freeze cheese. Doesn't matter, we don't have a deep freeze and you couldn't fit one tiny pea more into our fridge-freezer.
The constant crap pillow references are awesome doc!

At my polling site Tuesday a GQP piece of shit had on a "Resistance" shirt. LOL
Our GQP governor runner has called for ICE and US marshals to be at polls on Election Day. And of course his name is Bobby Charles. Ricky Bobby was taken.
Wish he just wore a resistance shirt.
WOW! Our state has guidelines for who may "watch" polls and even in OK ICE and US Marshals are not allowed!
I’m sure they aren’t allowed but let that stop a trumper!

Oh, gosh. As kids we would drive down to Titusville area, Oil City PA. Visit the historic park there.

No, that was 'Croatoan.'
