Oh, yeah, Trump got on the horn with the GA Secretary of State to discuss revisions to the already certified GA vote totals.
Just another "perfect" phone call.

Melinda on filming in GA. It is straight up *against the law to film in a polling place*, and not just anyone can walk around in there. Who the heck is Genevieve to set these laws aside? Where is this in Cobb County? I will go there and complain. There are placards up all around the stations announcing this. I had friends who were raised behind the Iron Curtain visiting in 2016 and I asked permission for them to enter the polling place to observe. Got a courteous, but firm "no way". I specifically notice the signs ever since. Where is this in Cobb County? I will go there and complain.

Those "Voter Protection Hotline" people were at my station too, but in the parking lot, well away from the entrance. They did not approach voters and answered me politely, when I (equally politely) asked about their organization and purpose. They did not mention their party affiliation nor the candidates. I've no complaint about this bunch. Cell phones are required to be turned off in the voting areas too. Even in my short line I was reminded of this three times.
P.S. three more handwritten Vote Dem postcards today, Boston, Illinois, and a "stamps.com" thingie with no discernible postmark.

Quite a few of my text messages on my cell with respect to the election are to my husband by name. Who sold the info that someone thinks it is his cell phone number?
Perhaps it is the number of adults currently in my house but I have had at least 20 visitors on voting, including at least 3 this weekend. Thank goodness I put sidelights (to fit the georgian revival style of the architectural plans and they replicate to a Brown Mansion of the correct period in RI. Mom collected Colonial Homes magazines from its inception) in by my front door as I can stand there and talk without ever opening the door or tap on glass and shake my head.

Dennis Prager:
"The ease with which tens of millions of Americans have accepted irrational, unconstitutional and unprecedented police state-type restrictions on their freedoms, including even the freedom to make a living, has been, to understate the case, sobering."
Sobering? No, it was scary as shit ... and sad ... to me.

Who is the vast bitter hoard?
Just an imagined by me future group of people who would think that Pence permanently dishonored himself by letting the Republic slip away when he had a chance to save it. And it wouldn't really be so vast a group, as I'd suggest that if Pence doesn't see his actions as treacherous, he'll be in the majority.

A perfect way to end the 2020 college football season. Rumors are floating around that Ohio State has some players infected with COVID and the Big 10 wants to postpone the game to a later date. The flip side is non-OSU fans just think OSU is using COVID as an excuse to delay the game and give Justin Fields more time to heal from what is most likely broken ribs.

The DA says Blake “twisted his torso” w/ the knife in his hand toward Sheskey while the officer was pulling on Blake’s shirt.
Car door & another officer obstruct view in vid. Graveley says 2 officers & 2 witnesses corroborate that motion. He didn’t say if Blake admitted to it.

To Justin Fields credit after getting some painkiller shots he stayed in the game and had one of the most memorable performances in recent history. Any fan of the game hates to see superstar players like that get hurt and not get to play.

So let's suppose the miraculous happens and Pence or Grassley get the election thrown to the House. I recall the states are something like 26-24 Republican. Any wagers on which one or two Republican states stab Trump in the back and vote for Biden? I certainly wouldn't take the House vote for granted.
Do the Congressional delegations in each state take a vote, majority wins? Looks like MT, PA and WI would be close, could be flipped D.

Rocco, I relate to the distracted while praying. When my son was sick, many years ago, I prayed but I think it was merely meditation now. As I learned more about my Catholic world, I began to understand the Rosary. Now, I have tried to pray so many times, and after a short time my mind is somewhere else. I figure that’s just plain rude and God and Mary would rather hear a short, sincere prayer. It seems that the only time I can pray it is when I am walking. And I am ignorant of the rules. I know the general focus, and I just do the best I can. In my mind it’s better than nothing at all.
Damn that Chris Stapleton and “Tennessee Whiskey,” as that’s what usually ends up in this mixed up brain!

Right Ig, I meant focusing on certain parts of Jesus’ life during the Rosary “as the rules.” I should have stated it clearly. I also know that what you quoted is why I don’t worry about my “method of communication” so much, as long as it’s sincere (and perhaps discrete).
The day I am running down the road shouting prayers to Heaven at the top of my lungs is the day my family should ship me off to the Funny Farm!
Mostly I offer a few prayers while I babysit paint shaking on the old shaker, that will launch a can if not watched. Two minutes. No customers; let me take a minute in my mind.

If the polity is split 50-50, and social media by itself can swing elections 10-15 points for Dems, then it will be almost impossible for the GOP to ever win another election.
