  1. My wife was just in Deadwood, SD for a work related thing. Part of it involved being at Mount Rushmore. The sun was just right.
  2. https://wtop.com/dc/2024/10/a-poop-covered-desk-memorial-for-jan-6-rioters-pops-up-on-dcs-national-mall/
  3. The product hasn’t been great for a while now
  4. We cancelled a couple of weeks ago. It goes beyond the latest issues
  5. Wasn’t that the argument against mail in ballots? The theory being that a group could collect a large number of them, possibly pay the recipient to sign the ballot and have the “buyer” fill them out. Sounds like cumbersome operation.
  6. Good argument for those who dislike Trump but unsure of Harris
  7. We managed to make sure 18 year old males were all registered for the draft several years ago. (Is Selective Service still a thing?). I'm sure they could do something similar for voters.
  8. He removed the state from the national organization that shares voting information, especially if a person has changed locations and legally registered to vote in their new residence. Like several Red governors https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-news/federal-judge-orders-virginia-to-halt-voter-removal-program-put-people-back-on-voter-rolls/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=t.co
  9. I'd work with that. But keep in mind your SS card is not considered an ID per the SS Administration.
  10. One of the things I could never understand for an ID here. When I applied for a Virginia drivers license they required my Social Security Card. The card itself says it should not be considered an ID. I mislaid my card while moving and forgot about it until the day of my DMV appointment (it was during COVID). I had my Michigan drivers license, also my passport. Both have pictures and are considered ID's. It's stupid stuff like that that drives me nuts. Many businesses require a SS# for payroll and issue ID's with photos. Why can't that be good enough for state election officials. It all goes back to the days when only white land owing males could vote. Now that most everything is on line, proving citizenship should be easier. If you're an immigrant you should have voting privileges automatically bestowed. Same with natural born citizens, they should be automatically registered on their 18th birthday.
  11. Don't be so hard on yourself. You may have one or two good qualities.
  12. You really need to find better friends. Most of the older folks I know are voting Harris
  13. I'll ask another question then, how would you make it easier? https://www.law.com/thelegalintelligencer/2021/08/13/identification-is-harder-to-obtain-than-you-think/?slreturn=20241025100955
  14. Patting them on the head? Isn't that what they've accused Biden of doing and calling it fondling?
  15. How many of these states make it extremely difficult to obtain a legal I'd, without having to pay $$$$ to correct errors or obtain things like a birth certificate. I don't disagree that proper ID should be necessary but in many areas unless you are a privileged white male obtaining the proper papers (whether name change, lost birth certificate, stolen ID) can be difficult because of draconian laws.
  16. What states don't require some proof of citizenship. I'll listen on line
  17. What I find a bit interesting is that my zip leans blue but Trump is close in donations. In my very old zip it's heavily Harris, (blue collar NE Roanoke, Va city) but Trump has about a 5-1 lead in donations. In fact every zip code I've checked the Orange Grifter has raised more money
  18. I'm putting my $$ on smaller non profit news organizations. Watch what your local PBS station is doing (or not doing). I've been surprised by organizations like AXIOS, especially with their small local newsrooms. There are a couple of small local on line publications who are attempting to take the place of newspapers who have been decimated or completely shuttered by corporate raiders. I don't know the future, they all may go the way of the do do or small market radio and newspapers. But one could hope
  19. Personal note I do volunteer work at one of the areas top tourist employers. They've cut the number of paid employees in the customer service area. Put in ticket kiosks, promoted on line sales, etc. then expect us non paid people to fill in the cracks. We do get some nice perks (discounts). It's been a good place to volunteer otherwise but They're doing away with free parking for visitors next week (just in time for Christmas) guess who gets to take most of the **** from visitors about that.
  20. I just want them to occasionally have working shake machines
  21. You can say the same about things like parking garages. I learned today that Colonial Williamsburg is doing away with free parking at the regions Visitor Center and will be charging $10 for parking, payable thru one of the several parking apps the region is affiliated with. I can't wait to tell all those folks who just want to walk around in CW it's going to cost them to park, plus try to explain how they have to use the app.
  22. Perhaps the fix is in in Wisconsin with those crooked Door County politicians (Channeling my inner Trump)
