Since I became disabled I always vote absentee, and I'm becoming very concerned about interference with absentee voting. I participate in the Post Office's "Informed Delivery" program so every morning I get an email with scanned images of all the mail I will be receiving later today.
In today's email there is an image of a letter that has the return address "Board of Elections Commissioners" and right above the mailing address is printed "Absentee Application Enclosed." It would be very easy for nefarious persons to scan our mail for those key words and conveniently destroy any letters displaying them. I don't see a solution to this problem because the USPS has regulations requiring absentee voting envelopes to identify the contents.
"Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has conceded defeat in South Carolina’s gubernatorial race after a crushing result and is now endorsing South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson for governor. She currently has just 11% of the vote."
Pffffffft, Mad Lord Yam is not going to tear down the Statue of Liberty. Let him try. Who's going to do it for him? And what do think New Yorkers would do about stopping that? He'd get his poopy filled diaper ass kicked all the way to hell where he belongs. As they say 'round these parts "Ain't gonna happen."
Don't believe him Lesley! He's a lying sack of shit. Ellison and his father need to get punched in the face every day for the rest of their lives. Punch the elitist assholes!
Now that so many media entities are being bought and destroyed, Pro Publica's reporting is even more valuable. If you're unsubscribing from one of those captured-and-killed publications or streaming channels, consider (if you're able) making a one-time or monthly donation to Pro Publica.
Nothing better represents the current state of our country better than this video. A truckload of fireworks explodes on a highway and people can only helplessly sit back and watch.
Trump's Sec of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, admits the New World Screwworm - eradicated in the U.S. in 1966 - will continue spreading in the U.S. for at least "a couple months".
When people like Holy Mike (and Kegsbreath, and JD, and that exorcist who got himself shit-canned...) use the word "diabolical", they mean actual literal demons are involved.
Rather than do anything about the fact that Donald Judas Trump is the starring player ALL over the Epstein Files, the Republican Congress can sure as hell drag Bill Gates in for questioning. Way to go, tough guys.
Random note: I've lately been getting an ad on solitaire stating "Tabs chaos is not in your job description." The first time I saw it, I thought, "Of course not. Rebecca handles that."
An ongoing fraud issue, with billions being lost around the country each year, are Bitcoin ATMs. These are basically only used by scammers who target seniors or others in scams with nearby Bitcoin ATMs in locations like drug stores to pay for some bogus thing.
The NC GOP legislature, after much complaining and pushback from our Democratic state attorney general and others, is finally pushing through some very watered-down regulations on Bitcoin ATMs here in the state. The damned things should be banned nationally, IMHO.
After hundreds of millions lost to fraud, NC lawmakers push for crypto ATM protections
North Carolina House lawmakers approved legislation to regulate cryptocurrency kiosks and curb fraud, particularly among seniors, who accounted for more than half of the $389 million in reported crypto-related losses last year. The bill now goes to the Senate.

I'm not so worried about Trump tearing down the Statue of Liberty.
The French repossessing it, on the other hand...

Does this mean that SC will be sending someone WORSE to DC or does she get to keep her old job?
Now she can devote all her time to the Epstein files crusade.
HAPPY PRIDE, NANCY!!1!

Pinky swear!
Don't believe him Lesley! He's a lying sack of shit. Ellison and his father need to get punched in the face every day for the rest of their lives. Punch the elitist assholes!
Little David is the new winner of the most punchable face in the USA, USA, USA!
EVERY time I see his pic, I think "That's the ultimate Biff."
Lies, lies and MOAR lies.
Well, his lips WERE moving...
I mean, SERIOUSLY???? You have ALREADY fucked with the integrity of editorial freedom!!!

There's a pogrom against immigrants happening in Northern Ireland.
Loyalists, unsurprisingly, are fucking racist and destroying homes in arson attacks.
When we were in Ireland in 2005 that was happening in the Republic as well.

ICE guard lost a loaded gun inside country’s biggest detention center, government investigators say
Watchdog alleges ‘serious’ oversight issues at Camp East Montana after reports of homicide, tuberculosis and medical neglect
I can’t believe they publicized this
If those ICE captives were really the worst people there'd be multiple casualties.
"If anyone finds a gun, please return it to the front desk...."

I’m waiting for them to subpoena Deb Haaland too. NM D gov nominee. Attack ads abt her flying on his plane came out by D opposition in the primaries
I'm beginning to wonder how long these republicans think they can keep the EPSTEIN FILES quiet.
