There’s a no dogs sign and a dog is laying front and center. Does nobody around here respect the rule of law?

I honestly cannot believe there is not an ordinance to curb that kind of behavior. That would never "fly" in my town.

Pretty high bar for a nuisance claim or something like that. I don’t think any judge is telling him to take it down, and an ordinance probably wouldn’t fly.

is this what you're referring to?



none of this has been substantiated and it's not like biden is running against jimmy carter. shouldn't move the needle against a grifter who paid less income taxes than me, you and most of america.

anybody who has any knowledge at all about scriptwriting will recognize that for what it is- expository dialog. It's not meant to be conversational, but to advance the plot (i.e. let the audience know what's going on or what the backstory is) very quickly. Nobody talks like that, with the level of detail that "hunter" did there. It was a script, plain and simple.

Weeks after Michigan prosecutors hit the pair of right-wing provocateurs with charges in an alleged voter-intimidation robocall scheme, Jacob Wohl, 22, and Jack Burkman, 58, have been indicted by an Ohio grand jury on separate felony counts.

Local prosecutors charged Wohl and Burkman each with eight counts of felony telecommunications fraud and seven counts of felony bribery for allegedly sowing false fears about voting by mail in targeted minority communities in Ohio, plus multiple other states. Warrants were issued for the pair's arrest, who face up to 18 years and six months in prison if convicted.

Watching old victory and concession speeches for some reason tonight and it’s like unfathomable that Trump was this coherent and gracious when he won. Even watching it now I vaguely recall thinking to myself, “Maybe he’ll surprise everybody and be good.” Well we know how that worked out but honestly it’s unthinkable today that he was even capable of making this speech then:

"I'm in a bar with the games sound turned off and that Cespedes home run still sounded like inevitability."

He's reading a prepared speech they worked on over months during the campaign. He hasn't done that since, save for a few state of the unions.

It looks to be a lovely neighborhood to begin with.

Whoever mows his 1-8th acre should charge extra.

Also the flags are fucked up in so many ways.

The Harris/Biden sign has a gun cross hairs on it. Maybe the secret service should get a call.

So I guess those are state level charges? I hope so. Let them serve their time in MI and then have to go to OH to serve that time. By the time they get out, Ivanka will be a grandmother (and probably secretary of state)

Had to take the car into a garage today and spent 6 hours walking around Somerset, wasting time until it was done. First, there were many more Biden signs than I expected. The main road and the rural areas have almost only Trump signs, but the side streets in town had as many Biden as Trump signs. It was encouraging.

What wasn't encouraging was eating at a deli and nobody in there was wearing a mask. They were having a conversation about COVID and the election and the consensus was that the virus would disappear as soon as the election is over. They seem to think it's just a hoax to get people to vote out Trump. The one woman was a "nurse for 27 years" and she said masks are not needed because it's like trying to stop mosquitos with chicken wire. While I appreciated her folksy reference, I finally chimed in at that point, saying that the virus is mostly suspended in water droplets that are big enough for the mask to stop and that people tended to fair better when they received a low dose of the virus as apposed to a large dose. Nobody was convinced so I just shut my mouth.

Then the guy behind the counter asked where I was from and what I was doing in town because he hadn't seen me before. This is the 4th time someone has said that to me while in town and I haven't gone into town much (less than 10 times). I think they thought I was antifa or something with my hair that hasn't been cut in over a year and no shave in 5 days. I should have trashed the place and burned it down to make their fears realized, but I hate violence so I just left and ate my sandwich on the bench outside.

This is listed among trumps first term accomplishment in science and technology:

ENDING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC," the news release sent to reporters read. "From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Administration has taken decisive actions to engage scientists and health professionals in academia, industry, and government to understand, treat, and defeat the disease."


I wondered when, and how the Trump administration would claim that they ended Covid. Today I have my answer.

Was going to have a hard time winning NE-2 to begin with. Going to be a bit harder if he freezes a bunch of people who are going to vote for him.
