  • For someone to say that being able to research ballots ahead of time is an advantage of mail-in ballots suggests that there are people showing up polling places and realizing that they have no idea how they want to vote, resulting in them having to frantically research the issues and candidates on their phones at the polling booth or fill it out without being well informed. And that is worrying.

    Well, yeah. Without mail-in voting that is something that is going to happen.

    With mail-in voting, it becomes more like an open book test for those that want to look into things. Plenty of time to research things and fill it out at the same time, and at a relaxed pace. Versus some kind of frantic pop quiz at the tail end of a multi-hour wait in line.

    I sure hope voters that have to vote in-person plan ahead, do research ahead of time and bring notes if they need them. I somehow doubt that all do.





















  • The weird thing? He couldn’t even do that right. He unleashed more chaos by just announcing the end of pennies. No real planning, no direction given.

    I’m rather ambivalent about pennies myself. The claim is that it will save $56 million per year, which is a rounding error in the U.S. budget. Hell, Noem apparently stole $220 million for ads featuring herself cosplaying. I have to wonder what it ends up costing the average American, though. And it seems it has unleashed some real chaos for retailers.



  • I’m thinking the magatards who cannot even remember what they said they stood for yesterday have permanent erections from things like: fighting “woke”, crushing any remaining dissent in media and entertainment, bombing fishing boats, starting a war with Iran, threatening most of our allies, and most of all, kidnapping and disappearing brown people while shooting protesters.

    Will it do them any good at all? Nope. If they were living in a trailer and eking out a miserable existence before, they still will be. It will most likely be even more miserable since things like food and health have been ripped away from many Americans. But at least they get to whoop it up over breaking the country and making others’ lives miserable.
