I was there with you when you started this, and continue to be here, with you. I don't speak up much, but I'm here.

Thank you so much for your steadfast efforts, and commitment to us all, and your dedication to the Lord. It has been a consistency which has warmed my heart, and many others. Being in the digital trenches as it were, having a drum beat, a cadence to encourage has been a God send.

God bless you and keep you.

Poll worker here. Not a big surprise in a red state, trump leads by huge margins. We saw large numbers of first time voters of all ages.

We were about the smallest precinct in the county, and had record numbers. Nonstop voters, we couldn't even stop for breaks. My feet hurt so bad....

Good news, we instituted "poll sheriffs", basically crowd management. Helped a lot with queueing, though everyone was pleasant so kind of overkill for us.
But they also checked id's, then sent voters to check in, who also checked id's, did signature checks, then sent to us, and we did checks before we set them up.

The machines we used weren't dominion, and did paper receipts, stubs for count comparison, and printed a backup physical copy of each vote that the voter was able to physically check as it printed. So cool.

Both would be awesome (though unlikely). I was thinking more of nuclear fusion, as we technically have the tech just not the financial backing to build the plants. There was a guy what, a decade or two ago that had all the math and proof of concept figured out, even a mostly working prototype. They were looking for more funding, needed 100 million or so to build a fully functioning plant.

As I recall it was all shut down by the existing nuclear energy commission. They trash talked the project as they need all the funding for the mammothly huge fission plants.

Fusion plants are a fraction of the size, are comparatively inexpensive, and generate a fraction of the waste material. So obviously we shouldn't have it. 🙄

It would be reasonable to think, perhaps, this may be in relation to the re-evaluation of the dollar. Backed money has infinitely more value than fiat.

Though this may only be part of the puzzle.

Any guess as to the new form of energy?

I believe the crude way to TL;DR this is to say they are in FA&FO land. We are getting ready to enter the latter half.

For reasons, I believe it is supposed to be a bit less than obvious.

I don't recall seeing our president ever make those gestures, especially in that way.

Think of it this way, if that isn't what he is doing, what the heck is he doing? It isn't in time with anything.

Your not wrong. Yes there was collusion. No, it does not make a whole lot of sense in retrospect. Corrupt or baseless things like this hardly ever do. Have you ever noticed that when the past has truth it is plain and simple to understand? This is an example of the opposite.

For what I can offer, I researched it a long time ago and it was multiple suits from various years and districts almost all lies and baseless accusations. There were one or two that had a claim in fact, but even then you had to wonder if it was staged to give more credence to the claims. The article talks about one of the end results for all this crap.

Effectively it made it so multiple locations could not have republican poll watchers. Areas affected are what we now know to be Democrat strongholds, and swing states.

To them, always the ends justify the means.

Yes. Republican observers in most all districts have been accused of harassment of pole workers for being too close to election workers, questioning them, and alleged interference. A total garbage ruling by multiple corrupt judges and bam, no Republicans allowed to observe for decades.

Probably not, but they will most likely introduce a bunch of other things quietly, things that cause accelerated tooth rot, and point to it and say 'See?!? This is what happens when you take fluoride out, you should listen to us!'

Total click bait. The first few sentences prove it. Article goes on to discuss some vague reshapings of their various parties after the latest special election.

So, nothing really new.

Unfortunately no.

Imagine how many conservatives would risk their lives under the right conditions. Many of us I'm sure.

Now imagine someone with a global concept of family as they've been taught. Climate change, pollution, disease, war, etc. You can stop it all, they are told, by eliminating one man, and that will bring peace and democracy to the world.

Even sane people, if they believed it enough, would take the chance to do something about it.

So I had a boss who was so afraid of guns, the mere thought of one almost broke her. Sweetest lady ever. She is the type of person you could rationally approach, be as kind as possible towards, but she could become so warped in her belief, that if she ever held a gun, I 100% guarantee would just start shooting in every direction at every one, out of sheer terror.

That mindset was inherant in her, that no rational person had enough self control that they could be trusted with a gun. Merely holding one would be enough to cause her to shut down mentally and go cookoo.

That is how deranged some people are. It really is something you have to see to believe. And there are lots of them out there.

For me it isn't hard to believe they still have plenty of disposables.

Additional sauce please, who is this and does he have authority to enforce his words? Sorry if it is obvious for others, I'd wager most of the US has no clue who this is or when it was recorded.

This is great, but without the supporting information it doesn't mean much.

I came here to say that.

Agreed, but do you think a little thing like that would stop them?

I can 100% believe they would say, use once, addicted for life (and here is our army of medical experts agreeing with us). Hence, all users are addicts.

I'm not saying it's right, I hate it, but I bet some quick searches will show it has happened before.

Please note the very next part of the same question (the warning) states it is unlawful to use or be addicted to on the federal level even if the state you were in legalized it, therefore if you have ever used or we're ever addicted to (once an addict...), then you either disqualify yourself, or lie on the form and you are still in the same shape.

Stupid feds.

IIRC, it asks something to the effect of, have you ever used pot.

If you ever have and they find out, bam your done.

Likewise, if you ever use after that and try to buy one, same.

Only real issues I have with this are practical.

  1. Apartments and homes with smokers (pot and to a lesser degree tobacco) can cause severe damage to homes, most often interior walls, but sometimes more. Smoke saturates into drywall/sheet rock, causing significant expense to replace it after a Tennant moves out.

More extreme cases have seen actual structural damage from heavy pot use. (Talk to any builders association and most every member has dealt with this). I know a landlord personally that had a tennant do over $45k in damage to a rental due to pot, they had to gut the place. They were good people and reasonable landlords, and the tennant was a bum. Somehow was able to afford a lawyer and tons of pot but had no job. Couldn't pay for the repairs when he lost his suit (yes, he sued the owners for trying to kick him out to save their rental).

FYI tobacco homes can be like this with heavy smokers in the house. That smell never truly goes away.

  1. Talk to residents in states where it is legal. Driving while stoned is a big issue that is played down by the media. A lot of people hurt from stoned drivers. A strangely high proportion of pot smokers drive without insurance, or with a suspended license. -state crime records. Pick a state, any state.

  2. Crime and homelessness in general increase in legalized pot area. -state and sheriff records, easy to find with direct correlation to when that state legalized.

  3. If you are a person who doesn't smoke, areas with legal pot smell terrible. I don't mind cigar, pipe, cigarette smoke nearly as much, at least that doesn't have that nasty lingering smell

For sheriff offices, the corporal chevron often denote a senior officer, typically someone with office or management duties, including the sheriff.

They can also have a star which further denotes duty, a trainer for example,but the video quality is pretty poor, I couldn't tell.
