Even if postage is prepaid as it is here in Oregon, I like saving the state the expense. And I like knowing my ballot is safe in a drop box in time to be counted.
It’s deja vu all over again.
Nearly 5 million covid-19 cases in the United States. One-hundred fifty-seven thousand dead. Thirty-two million out of work. Tens of millions facing eviction, foreclosure and hunger.
What do we do now?
Simple: We talk about Hillary Clinton’s emails!
“During the investigation of Hillary Clinton over her email server, James Comey, the FBI director, had a press conference, as you know, on July 5 where he . . . said ‘no reasonable prosecutor’ would prosecute that case,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said at Wednesday’s hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “Did you know before July 5, 2016, that he was going to do that?” Cornyn asked.
The witness, Sally Yates, a former Obama administration deputy attorney general called before the panel to testify, told Cornyn she had not known.
Cornyn pressed on. “When he reopened the case after Anthony Weiner’s computer was looked at, did you know he was going to reopen the case beforehand?”
“That was more than four years ago now,” Yates replied, “and I didn’t go back and try to review any of that.”
But Cornyn was not to be disturbed from his time warp. He went on about Comey’s conduct, Loretta Lynch’s tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton, and Rod Rosenstein’s memo justifying Comey’s firing. “Director Comey was out of control,” the senator concluded.
Maybe so. But you know who’s out of control now? Cornyn — and Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and all the others trying to change the subject from the crises now gripping the nation to their greatest hits from 2016. As the Trump administration drifts and millions lose their unemployment benefits, the Senate Judiciary Committee staged yet another hearing Wednesday about the Steele dossier, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, Fusion GPS and other golden oldies.

Pizzagate in 5… 4… 3… 2…
Someone needs to tell Pence that.
Hmmm… this is not stupid, just eight fucking months LATE! I hope it’s not too late.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday said wearing a mask is the single most important thing Americans can do to contain the coronavirus pandemic and get the U.S. economy back on its feet, setting up a contrast with President Trump, who rarely wears a mask.
“I’ve been promoting mask-wearing, we’ve been doing it in the Senate since the first of May when we resumed in-person sessions. It’s the single most significant thing everybody in the country can do to help prevent the spread,” McConnell said in an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.”
…
The part I’ve bolded is PURE BULLSHIT, but you can’t expect a Pubbie to make a statement without some sort of lie in it.
I don’t like being the guy who defends McConnell*, but he’s been a supporter of mask use since early on
(* so stop making me do it!)
Point taken. But did he really promote mask-wearing, as in make people do it? And we know Unca Mitch can make the Pubbie senators jump through any hoops he wants to.
I prefer the drop box as well.
That’s dated May 29. Pretty late to claim he always promoted mask-wearing, the lying turtle.
Stop making me do this.
The CDC, itself didn’t come out with it’s mask guidelines until April.
The Senate wasnt even in session thru most of Apl. When they did resume on May 4, McConnell was wearing a mask.
He’s a turd, no doubt, and R’s as a group have sent mixed messages on masking, but McConnell has been pro (or at least not anti) mask more than most.
Article from April 9 CDC had already recommended masking.
McConnell was either too stupid or too GOP to mask up. It’s taken him almost two months to realize that too many Americans had died that the GOP could have their ass handed to them. If he was wearing a mask in May, he could have required it in the Senate.
Ok
Clearly this means more to you than me.
You’re right, you’re right, you’re always right. Let me buy you a beer.
Maskless McConnell May 5:

i wonder what that is in his hands…
That’s not where it belongs…
Even tho it’s prob a bad idea, almost everyone in the public eye removes their mask when they speak.
May 12: who’s he talking to?

I guess Mitch has always been a proponent of carrying a mask around in your hands. Good to know.
Now you guys are just being asses for the lol’s
You callin’ me a troll?
why say what’s obvious?
