Ooooh! If I could find the abandoned toilet out in our woods somewhere, I'd haul it up and do that with it. Lucian, your neighbors aren't terribly literate, are they?
Lucian, seriously? That’s all they have? Harry Balz? Well, I’d vote for Harry Balz 7 days a week and twice on Sunday over those 2 pathetic sociopaths who probably have deep seated desires of child pornography and doing nasty things to women. Let’s go win this, Harry! I love what Brandon has done! Arrogant pricks!
Um, I admit that until I read this comment I thought the person had "corrected" it to read Harris Balzy meaning Ballsy and thought "that's not a very effective insult - doesn't the MAGAt camp Admire brass?" but now I realize it was just their poor handwriting (hand spraying?) and fear of being caught... And goodness, it's really hard to tell if one is dealing with a kid or an "adult" MAGAt, isn't it?
It certainly does seem like someone only has concepts of how to spell, and concepts of how to make an effective statement don't they?
I was just interviewed for a local media station in Germany on why I, as an American Abroad, find it so important to vote in the US election. How is it going to effect me in Germany, so, since I am in a book club that is reading Project 2025, I could be quite specific.
I can not take credit for the idea. Joyce Vance in her Substack had said that it would be a good idea to read it in a book club since they don't expect us to read it. I mentioned it to my Democrats Abroad group, and a group of us decided to read it. We are not reading in order, but choosing the chapters we want to read. Of the 30 chapters we have read 16, and the Forward. We will have covered 18 next week.
I can see that they plan to destroy the USAs national security, through both the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense. There will be no one in charge who was in charge and knows what is going on. That will make us vulnerable to all the bad players out there. It will destroy our alliances, which Trump does not care about because he and his henchmen and women are all about America First and alone.
I also know that they plan to destroy the public education system. To people who believe that God will come and take them and leave the rest of us Witches and Beasts behind very soon, what reason do they have to spend money on educating their children when at most they need to know how to read scripture, nothing else of the content of public education appeals to them. Also, since they want segregated education they can avoid Brown vs. Board of Education by tanking public education.
These Christian Nationalists, particularly the New Apostolic Reformation branch of Charismatic Christians are system disrupters, and because they believe God is supporting their racist, sexist agenda with them as Superior as evidenced by the privileged positions so many have in our society, they do not worry about destroying what has been built up so far. They seem to be unable to imagine the horrible world that they are intent on creating as they seek to leave this world in End-of-days glory. Meanwhile they want to turn the US into a Christian Nationalist theocracy, a White Christian version of Iran.
..."they believe God is supporting their racist, sexist agenda with them as Superior as evidenced by the privileged positions so many have in our society" sounds like a variation of Prosperity Gospel.
Sue and I received our ballots this past week here in Colorado, which is a leader in vote by mail and drop box. We’ve voted and placed in drop box. And have already been notified by email that our ballots have been accepted.
Agree, Lucian, that voting is crucial. Vote Blue!!
My 19-year old daughter and I received our ballots here in Germany on September 20 via email. About a week later we got ballots in the mail too, so we used those envelopes to return our ballots to Illinois where we vote. One of my friends here in Germany, who is part of our local Democrats Abroad group votes in Pennsylvania. Her ballot was received about 2 weeks after she got it and sent it off, yet because our ballots are now being contested in her state by Republicans, she has to wait to see if her ballot will be counted. It is some crazy, we don't think we can win without gerrymandering and changing all the voting laws to disenfranchise as many people as we can, business as usual Republicans. May Marc Elias and Democracy Docket prevail.
There is a huge Harris/Walz sign on 01 or what on the maps is called Milford Road and Water Street. Every time we drive by that house on our way to Milford and beyond the Nazis have found a new way to deface that sign. The guy who lives there dutifully repairs the damage or washes away the excretion only to have it violated again.
I'm not big on signs at all, but the way this one has preserved in the face of multiple attacks has made it kind of a symbol of courage and fortitude to us.
I feel like as long as it survives we will survive.
We have one front yard with a toilet and Trump's head sticking out. The sign reads
SOMETIMES YA GOTTA FLUSH TWICE.
Ooooh! If I could find the abandoned toilet out in our woods somewhere, I'd haul it up and do that with it. Lucian, your neighbors aren't terribly literate, are they?
A lot of trump humpers where Lucian lives.
Right. But what does it mean?
My not too shrewd guess is it's an ignorantly juvenile attempt at Hairy Balls.
I rest my case about our education system creating the fertile ground for the mess we're in.
In what universe would the abbreviation for "hairy balls" be BY?!
Look at where the Y is placed. Y precedes B. Thank you, Ralph.
See above -- I suspect it's "BYE" without the E.
I don't get it. "BY"?
I thought it was an attempt at "BYE".
Ha(i)ry Ball(z)s
I am in awe of you
Oh behalf of Lucian, aw, shucks. :-)

That's a great idea: Reading Project 2025 for a book club.

I guessing it's just stupid, annoying kids.

The alternative is loss of democracy.

That perfectly sums up the intelligence level of the cult members. Hillary was wrong, they're all deplorables.
Welcome to Pennsylvania. Or as some people say pennsyltucky.
Assholes think they can deter people from voting for the sane ticket. Nope!
“Only in America” - a catchphrase my immigrant grandfather used to say when l was a kid.
They were New Deal Democrats!
This election is literally life and death.
Voted and vote counted. Scary times.
I hope they got burning plastic on their hands from burning your sign. Low IQ people, indeed.
Because my life as I know it does depend on whomever (or WHATever) is elected.
….. because the quality of our lives DOES depend on it … and not just a little … it’s the whole enchilada …
The Abyss beckons
In Virginia, my centenarian mother, two sons and I all voted long ago by absentee ballot and we can check online to be sure they have been received.
I voted in person this morning in Detroit!
