DannyBrandt: Well, at least we have Birb and Launcher and a new doggo.

We have that going for us.

Also, where is Zach pics?

Sarah Jessica Farker: Taylor Mental: So I rode down to the general store tonight and passed our polling station at the volunteer fire department. They have a Trump-Pence 2020 sign out front. And they send me letters asking for a donation. Sheesh.

Where I live, it's illegal to have political material within 200 feet of a polling place.. or at least that used to be the law.

badtrotsky013: Taylor Mental: Regarding RBG's passing and the looming battle over her replacement -- one weapon Dems have is the upcoming need to pass an omnibis funding bill before the end of the month. Schumer could shut down the government by blocking it for a month unless McConnell forestalls his crazy court-packing plan.

But it will take a lot of outrage from Dems out in the country to produce such political will in the US Senate. So naturally it won't happen.

I heard in the other place the dems could simply walk. They need 60 to put one in. They only got 51.

gul_jay: JulieAzel626: This is a little disturbing...

crap. not that it's surprising.

and i had to look up "keep your powder dry." figured it was related to boxing, but teh google says it's referring to gun powder.

yup. Mitch is armed and ready. and again, that's not a surprise... but still depressing, none the less, tho.

/fingers crossed for 4
//like you tho i highly doubt the likelihood

That is a direct violation of voting laws.

If it is a polling place, no political signs should be visible

In Texas, all political signage must be a minimum of 150 linear feet from the entrance to the polling place.  The term "Entrance to the polling place" in locations where the polling station is located within another building can be interpreted as either the outer doors of the building or the inner doors of the actual polling station.

Texas: randomly interpretation of the law to fit rich white power needs since the Alamo.

Ya all remember the Alamo?

Ya know, I see enough crap around this site about how all Texans are idiots.  To see the implication that all Texans are white power supporters in THIS thread, when y'all know that several Maddites live in or hail from Texas is a bit more than I can abide.

DannyBrandt: Got my ballot. Will fax it in on Monday.

the rest of the hits we mostly bleh, eh, or not, and also not too funny.

but that first hit above... and i'm on a shared work PC... i think the settings on this PC have are not set up properly, tho, so the PC is remembering me even with me not logging in (shared instructor acct std in classrooms for our IT dept).

youtube visits on this PC seem to know/remember me too.

in past semesters, the update each term should include that the PC does not save the 'history' each evening upon forced reboot at 1am... but it seems that some terms the IT persons forget that step or setting and the PC acts like it knows me... more and more as each week goes by.

oh yeah, they updated it week 2... we're in week 5 now. that update person must of forget that trick. oh well...

/also, first thing i thought of when seeing the GIS result above is the shopper rugbydude
