Members janea4old Posted September 17, 2020 Members Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) (in reference to COVID-19 precautions) “You know, putting a national lock down, stay at home orders, is like house arrest. Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history,” Attorney General Barr said, as a round of applause came from the crowd at Hillsdale College. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/16/politics/barr-justice-department-speech/index.html Edited September 17, 2020 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 17, 2020 Members Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'm really sick of (white) people equating lockdowns with slavery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 This whole administration is filled with sociopaths. Meanwhile based on the reaction I'm seeing on Twitter Biden rocked his town hall last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) Which is likely one of the reasons the media is trying to shift the topic to anger over Biden's people tweeting that he's from Scranton, not Park Avenue, and why Russia and rose Twitter are trying to distract by hyping a sad and very obviously clipped two and a half year old clip with Cornel West and their fantasy fascist, Tucker Carlson. The Kushner stuff is blood-boiling, and just another reason why I feel foolish for briefly hoping, post-election, that Kushner and Ivanka might be some kind of stabilizing influence. The sad part is there is so much of this stuff, piles and piles of malice and sociopathic behavior, I feel like most people have completely tuned it out. Even stories like quacks in ICE giving mass hysterectomies have barely gotten attention. Edited September 18, 2020 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm not even going to pretend that I know anything about the electorate in Alaska but this ad is now stuck in my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 Between the positive buzz about Biden's town hall and the Nate Silver news, it's nice to feel hopeful on my birthday.

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 Sadly, I think so much stuff has gone down plus we are all so weary from the Coronavirus that our collective minds are numbed. Here in Ohio, every registered voter got an application for an absentee ballot in the mail. My folks are voting by mail, but I plan to be at the county Board of Elections bright and early on October 6th to cast my vote. The other day, I was at the BMV to both renew my driver's license and get a new sticker for my license plate. I was waiting in line when I heard a clerk ask a customer if he was a registered voter and if not, would he care to register. He answered no to both questions. It was really, REALLY hard for me to keep quiet when I heard that. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted September 18, 2020 Members Share Posted September 18, 2020 Same. Except I will probably go later in the week. Even before our current fascism I liked to skip day one so they could work out the bugs and the temp workers could get their legs. The thing that's pissing me off is that when I early vote I usually do it with my mom. In the primary, we both early voted because we knew Ohio was going to go on lockdown. Back in 2016, we went to a Hillary rally where Obama was speaking and drove to the BOE right after to vote. But now there's COVID - and Ohio is probably going to see a spike in cases soon because of this [!@#$%^&*] - so I can't risk Mom and I being in the same car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
