🤬🤬🤬 Literally a week before the election, Trump's Court lets Virginia block people from voting.

@mcfate "Roll, roll, roll in ze hay...."

Just got this from Cheetolini. When he gets desperate he gets creepy.

@EvilBunny Practice makes perfect.

@mcfate @corlin Are you seriously suggesting that a person who is not allowed to vote gets mad and somehow votes anyway?
In 1998 Florida purged up to 100,000 legitimate Black voters. In 2000, its 4 electoral votes decided the presidential election. "An investigation by the United States Commission on Civil Rights revealed 'an extraordinarily high and inexcusable level of disenfranchisement,' primarily of Democratic African American voters."

@DavidSalo First thought: balderdash. Second thought: Hmm -- born in a Soviet satellite state, speaks several languages, obviously smarter than he is, seems ruthless ... if she wasn't a plant from the beginning, I can't imagine Putin's agencies not trying to turn her, and I can imagine them succeeding.
Congratulations, you sucked me into a conspiracy theory.

@NorthernInvader Neighbor is lucky to have my spouse as a friend. I had to be persuaded. I don't want to be a dick, but neighbor has two houses, one in a pricy part of CA and one here, and both are almost uninhabitable due to their hoarding. Plus they're an antivaxxer. So it takes real persuasion to get my finger off the "Not my problem/God helps those...." button.

Spouse persuaded me to help drape a tarp over an absent neighbor's leaky roof. We're both about threescore and ten, which is Nature's way of saying "stay on the ground, fool." But there turned out to be no way to do it without going into the house and out a 2nd-story window into the roof -- and this neighbor is a hoarder. OMG. Crawling around the wet mossy roof was bad, but navigating the house was worse. If you're a hoarder, get help, you need it.

@TetsuKaba Old news in two ways: it's from 2022, and we all knew long before that he was a fraud.

@sfleetucker You're going to have to get your email address a bank account. This is a sophisticated type of transaction completely beyond the reach of most consumers. Fortunately I have many years of experience in this area and would be glad to assist you for a reasonable fee.

@mcfate It's an iffy question -- every congregation has people who came in once or twice, maybe even got their names on the address list, but never formally joined; people who attend every Sunday service but never formally join; people who joined but haven't been seen or heard from in years. And then there's the Zoom/YouTube contingent....
I'm guessing 100-500, but with many caveats.
And for the record, I'm more of a hard agnostic: not asserting anything about what I think is unknowable.

@corlin Would it be too cynical to suspect that the NYT hopes to pick up subscribers from the WaPo exodus, like me? Because it's working.

@TomB I thought the Republicans were supposed to wait till January 5.

@mcfate Eastern Washington was Trump country, too. So he took revenge on his own fans for not being numerous enough to outvote the massive Puget Sound crowd.
You call him Dickless, but I think Heartless and Brainless would apply just as well if not better.
