OK, sure, I get it. There I was, all set to vote for Biden, but then some dude in a MAGA hat handed me a bottle of water…
It is indeed unfortunate that here we are in the greatest country on Earth, whose citizens have put men on the Moon and helicopters on Mars, and yet no one in Georgia can figure out a non-partisan way to distribute water to thirsty voters.
Well, the idea is probably to only give water to those who are lighter in complexion than this card. <holds up pantone 7506C >
It’s ok, the lines might be so damn long that you’re not actually giving out the water within X yds of a polling place.
You want water and don’t have a MAGA hat on? Wrong color too? Well that’s a fire hose.
Here’s your water.
Does he mean the one where he’s a defendant? ‘Cos that just seems implausible.
I read all these horror stories about voting difficulties, and I wonder how I’ve been so lucky. My voting place is a recreation center next to the dog park. I park my dogs there and walk in the evening of the last day of voting. I’ve hardly ever had to wait in line, and I live in a city of 400K+.
Of course people waiting in line to vote are only getting thirsty because the Republicans there deliberately reduced the number of polling places and dates on which people can vote (and limit voting by mail) so that long lines are the result.
I live in NYC (Queens County). My longest wait ever was about 20 minutes (plus voting time). This year, no line at all. But this is a Democratic stronghold, so NYC makes it as easy as possible (Albany-willing) to vote.
In response to the shootings at massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia GOP members have introduced legislation to make gun restrictions looser.
You read that right – looser.
Jesus.
GOP legislators at all levels are, officially, nucking futs. They have no connection to reality. Too bad there’s no way to boot them out of our reality and into their own so we never have to deal with this cretins again.
It’s interesting that Georgia is making it easier to get a gun while making it harder to vote.
Maddowblog made precisely this point. Apparently they’re taking the criticism that “it’s easier to get a gun than to vote” and using it as a legislative blueprint.
Two Individual 1 appointed judges ruled that a teacher has the constitutional right to misgender trans students.
Rep. Matt Goetz (R-FL) is being investigated by the Department of Justice for an alleged criminal relationship with an under age girl:
Investigators are examining whether Mr. Gaetz violated federal sex trafficking laws, the people said. A variety of federal statutes make it illegal to induce someone under 18 to travel over state lines to engage in sex in exchange for money or something of value. The Justice Department regularly prosecutes such cases, and offenders often receive severe sentences.
I saw a story earlier today that he might quit Congress before the end of his term to join Newsmax as a commentator.
I wonder how his “son” feels about that.
Republican family values!
There’s nothing in the article to indicate the girl was a relative.
Ah, the Georgia firehose loophole.
I heard it said that Matt Gaetz is the Brett Kavanaugh of Jim Jordans. Or something like that.
