    Trump’s going to be all right, win or lose this November, he’s a Godzillionaire now, which means he’ll have more power than God anyhow :) The Dems know this, buckle up, it will be an amazing bumpy ride.

      when I first did absentee years ago I had to request and fill out lots of paperwork and have a doctors note after kidney surgery. when I was dealing with uterine cancer it was easier because I already had a record/copy of ID/was living at same address/had voted in person in the interim elections. Potentially messy/high potential of passing out conditions got a please vote at home pass rather relatively quickly but it still took weeks.

      The 2010’s came around and [even worse] by 2020 you could basically just use an app or run off copies to scan and mail/fax/email with no proof of ID/residence, no doc notes, no paperwork, and apparently no limits on how many times/places you can vote.

      • I use vote by mail in RI because I can, and if Democrats are doing it, so should other people. First I request the ballot and my address is validated. Then I get mailed the ballot. There’s an envelope inside with a place for my signature and a PIN number I have been sent under separate cover. I return the ballot to a state address for signature and PIN validation. If the ballot is accepted, it is forwarded to my town for additional signature validation. I can track my ballot every step of the way on a state website. I’m sure someone can find a way to muck up the system illegally, but this attempts to be fair. I can request the ballot about a month before the election. From the time I mail it back until it arrives at my town is 3 to 4 days.

    My brain cleanser from politics and court dates, the ongoing saga of Princess Sparkle. She’s reinventing Kmart now with her “lifestyle” project, she’ll probably laugh all the way to the bank, but I doubt it. There’s just no there, there …

    I have 2700 followers, but I guess not the good kind, lol ! This will keep Xtwitter busy today.

    • taw46 says:

      Wow, lots of followers! I’m an observer, not much of a doer on X. 😊 I rarely comment, mostly repost things. And check to see what’s going on in the world, what’s trending.

      So your 2700 followers don’t count? You have to have “elite” followers? lol

        I had around 4000 before I was permanently banned with no explanation. I couldn’t even get in to delete old account. To my knowledge all I did was say ivermectin works and Trump won. I may have called killary a derogatory term or two, but nothing severe. I was given no recourse. Now I have about 600 followers and don’t actively attempt to grow. I follow the big names and spend more time muting and blocking. I really don’t need to see Cher is leaving the country if Trump wins over and over again. Elon’s monetizing the site has increased click bait. I go there to get perspective from the likes of Logan and Hemingway. Megyn has been refreshing. Loads of female voices unrestrained by corporate media are the standouts for me.
        The majority of the place is still a sewer, but things are being relayed there which aren’t generally being reported on msm and when they are it’s usually days if not weeks later. I try to take nothing at face value and if something interests me I delve into it further. It can be a sense of comfort to encounter some of the stand up people. Libs of TikTok, Billboard Chris, Tucker, JK Rowling, Logan, Kelley(s), Juanita, Woods, Hodgetwins, Gays against Groomers, Peter Sweden and on and on.

        I would not know that farmers are protesting across Europe that they are taking fertilizer and tractors to capitals. I would not know that Rowling gets regular death threats and has had her family doxxed by the trans crowd. I live in the suburbs and was excommunicated by the lgbtq+ community for supporting Palin. I find transmania to be grossly homophobic. Society is telling confused, scared effeminate boys and tomboy, butch girls they were born in the wrong body. It is completely insane to me. Lives are being destroyed. The big advocacy groups ran out of steam with the legal acceptance of gay marriage. To be significant these groups like GLAAD and others had to find another cash cow. Pigs went after kids to stay relevant. You should take a gander at what HRC does to hospitals with their rating system. It is about influence, power, and money. Not about the well being of children.
        I wouldn’t be aware that a large number of LGB feels the way I do. LEAVE kids alone. Fox has the occasional clip on kindergarten teachers pushing drag, but it’s five minutes in a far off place. Twitter reveals not everyone is okay with this. It can shed a light.
        Another thing I wouldn’t be aware of -many of the current illegal criminals when charged are booked as white even though they are obviously not. It’s all about the narrative. Gov’t will manipulate data to tell the story they want us to hear. Remember the 911 call aired by NBC in which Zimmerman’s call was distorted by the network to make it sound racist? Then Zimmerman was a white hispanic?

        The Crawdad Hole has helped me over the years to maintain something akin to sanity. I watched as life long friends absorbed everything the DNC regurgitated without question. Friends I loved and spent my 20’s and 30’s with decided I was a racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, islamaphobic because I could not support oblahablah. No discussion on issues I was a Nazi. I was raised Catholic. I believe in some sort of God. Jesus was a historical figure. The fact that he existed is fact. I don’t/can’t know about biblical stories. I find the Stations of the Cross to be overwhelming. I don’t go to Church and don’t believe in miracles, yet I find walking the Stations to be profoundly humbling.
        My childhood town is now collapsed. I grew up in what was a religious town. It has a sign when entering which reads Clairton The City of Prayer. They defied the school prayer issue. My dirt poor steel town was safe and people tended to their yards. Catholic school always had us selling something. I walked door to door with a cardboard luggage bag and sold things like seeds. We played in a glorious park until the street lights came on. I walked by three other Christian denominations on my way to school. Most people went to college. It was largely black in the late 70’s early 80’s.. The churches are nearly gone. I think there are two in the entire city. It once had the population to be deemed a city. Crime and drugs are rampant. Tax base is gone. State took over the schools. It became a third world country. Section 8 everywhere. Young parents not getting wed because saying father unknown allows Medicaid and food stamps, section 8. Houses have plywood for windows. Fentanyl and heroin are everywhere. When I was a child we had Bible school during the summer. There were no government handouts to churches. All the different Christian denominations divided up the summer for day camp. It wasn’t religious indoctrination. We did crafts and were a community. Mom’s got kids out of their hair. I remember when someone died in the neighborhood— food was instinctively given. No one paused even if they didn’t like a person. Lasagna and awful 1970’s dishes were prepared. Desserts for days. We kids were sent to deliver. Everyone was catty, but it was superficial. I was a Mick amongst Lutherans.
        Trade deals crushed Clairton for decades and welfare moved in. Drugs got horrific. Churches closed. People had nothing to believe in. There is not one grocery store in Clairton. People take their food stamps and buy frozen food from Family Dollar.
        Along came Clairton Bears. One of the most winningest high school football teams. The beaten city found something to believe in. The community came together. Shortly after Trump came along. Production at the mill was up. Local businesses thrived. I refuse to believe the numbers for biden out of that area. So many people had hope. dims squashed that by painting the area as racist. I believe it is about 50/50.
        Every society that has flourished has had some concept of God. My faith is Christian. I have seen how a once vibrant nurturing community has turned its back on some greater truth beyond comprehension and has embraced atheism and coupled with a lack of respect for the morals of nearly all religions. They replaced it with a belief in themselves as arbiters of morality.
        Shame is destructive. Guilt is not always. Guilt means you have a conscience. My liberal friends HATE established religion and are now disciples of the far left. Progressivism is a religion.

          “Young parents not getting wed because saying father unknown allows Medicaid and food stamps, section 8.”

          This corrodes the American ideals of personal independence & self sufficiency, rotting America’s core values.

            I believe it since Welfare Mom seems to be a career choice for some. Or they keep Planned Parenthood in business, they do have a choice 😉

    J6 prosecutions were used to do the same. Dare to question the 2024 election and this is what will happen to you.

    years of Catholic school and CCD and it took me to age 57 to look up what Maundy means (foot washing)

    I wonder how rising grocery prices are effecting the nutrition of low income families. I bought tomatoes, spinach, garlic, goat cheese to make breakfast . It was almost 20 and I didn’t get bacon or eggs which I had. I cook for my sister and I can get 4 to 6 meals out of it. I can’t imagine feeding a large family today. Or being someone dependent on only social security. My groceries are up far more than the snews reports. Wasn’t it Bill Clinton who took food costs out of COLA? A bag of Doritos is 5.79. I don’t eat them but the brat often goes directly from school to her job at a kennel (makes 20/hr) I pack stuff that will last a whole day. Almost 6 dollars and the bag is smaller and half full. I have become a thrifty shopper. Doritos were buy one get one free so I stocked up, but if you are living on food stamps you probably can’t buy 58 dollars in garbage chips when you are worried about what is on the table tonight.
    It baffles me that people struggling in this economy can vote dimocrat when they have to feel already sparse resources being stretched even thinner. Everything is way up. IIRC before inflation hit the largest increase ever in food stamps was enacted. So did they know these increases were coming? I don’t think whatever the amount was that it came near the inflation. Cottage cheese is up 2 bucks. Why isn’t the RNC driving this point home? I don’t watch much news anymore, but when I catch a glimpse on local stations it seems like the focus is on stuff that is not pertinent to those having a difficult time making ends meet. A mortgage rate isn’t a consideration for someone on Medicaid. An illegal immigrant might be eating better than a family of four just above the poverty level.

    • John Denney says:

      Growing up poor in small town Iowa, we always had a big garden – sweet corn, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, green onions, beets, radishes, lettuce, …

      We ate it fresh & canned lots of tomatoes, sauerkraut, beets, & corn.

      Ugh. Picking tomatoes in the hot August sun, then sitting in the hot, steamy kitchen over a dishpan full of boiling hot water & tomatoes to scald them to make the skins slip off. Skin a hot tomato, cut it up, drop it into a mason jar, acidic juice making all the little cuts on my hands sting.

    They are burying a slain police officer in NY today, this is just not good optics for Biden who wants to “save Democracy”. The A-List Dems are really shrinking too 😀

  15. In the 90s I found myself recovering from some surgery, and I amused myself with Court TV. I saw the Menendez brothers trial from gavel to gavel. The first trial was a hung jury and the only one televised. The second trial was ended with the boys getting life without parole. Greg Jarrett of Fox News was the reporter for Court TV. It was a real circus with people like Dominic Dunne in the court room. My own feelings were the abuse the boys claimed was very real, and while I thought they deserved some jail time, they didn’t deserve the rest of their lives for killing their abusers. But battered woman syndrome wasn’t a thing yet.

    I bring this up because the court is about to decide if the men, now in their 50s, get a new hearing. No change, new trial, or time served. CA court George Gascon

    • DeniseVB says:

      I heards bits on that. Interesting if they go free this time. I also remember Greg, Dan Abrams and Greta Von Susteren from the OJ trial, it made them stars.
