I was reading about the DHS’s little celebrity scandal when I noticed a name I recognize.
Ben Garthwaite, CEO of Fors Marsh. I met him once, along with the district manager of the Arlington location.
FM is a shite company, possibly one of the worst consulting/comm firms in the DC/NOVA area. No real surprise that the Trump admin would want to work with them. Shit begets shit.

Purdue, the senator down in Georgia who tossed his stocks when covid hit, has taken his ball and went home.
After being trounced in a debate by his opponent, Ossoff, Purdue dropped out of the final debate. Not even an excuse like covid or family time, he really did just “waa waa” his way out of a debate.
These are your “strong” candidates GOP.

NEW: 8th Circuit Court of Appeals rules in Minnesota’s absentee ballot deadline case that absentee ballots must be in by 8pm on Election Day.
“There is no pandemic exception to the Constitution.”
Court holds out possibility of counting later and says late ballots set aside.
/End Tweet
Anyway, what does this mean exactly?

For starters, whoever wrote that tweet misinterpreted the courts opinion. For one it was not a state constitution matter, but a state law matter. Secondly, they only invalidated the extension itself, declining to rule on the actual legality of any late votes.
Aside from that, it’s just another one in the GOPs long history of making it harder to vote.

By contrast, here’s what happened at a Joe Biden rally.

GOP senator Mike Lee thinks fact-checking is a form of censorship.
He’s talking about social media like Twitter and such, but, uh, Twitter doesn’t even censor misinformation. It’s just slapping a label on it while still allowing it.

| Not content with how many hospitalizations his rallygoers had last time, Trump’s latest rally sent almost twice as many to the hospital due to overheating. |
A crowded Trump rally in steamy Tampa, Florida, on Thursday resulted in 17 attendees needing medical attention, with a dozen being taken to the hospital, fire officials told NBC News.Trump spoke for just under an hour in 87-degree heat at the event outside of Raymond James Stadium to a largely mask-less group of supporters.A fire truck at the rear of the rally sprayed water in the air to rain down on some rallygoers, but the heat was too much for some attendees, many of whom had been waiting for hours. Tampa Fire Rescue said one of the attendees fainted and another had a seizure. The other 10 who were taken to the hospital were just listed as “sick” with no other details.The incident came two days after 30 rallygoers in Omaha, Nebraska, needed medical attention after transportation issues resulted in hundreds of attendees being stuck for hours in the freezing cold. Officials said seven were taken to area hospitals with a variety of ailments.
By contrast, here’s what happened at a Joe Biden rally.
Trump rival Joe Biden held a drive-in rally with close to 300 cars in Tampa later in the day, and wrapped up his speech early after it started to rain.“I’m going to shorten this for you all,” Biden told the crowd. “Get out of the rain!”

Reminds me of when both Trump and Biden visited one of the cities that suffered a riot caused by the police shooting blacks (I forget which one. There’s just so many at this point. Both the riots and instances of police shooting blacks). Biden visited the victim’s families while Trump visited burned down stores.
The contrast was clear. Biden sympathized with grieving people, Trump sympathized with a pile of bricks.

“Trounced”
No, what happened to Purdue on stage was almost gore porn. It was the most violent dismemberment of a paralyzed man ever to be broadcast on TV.
Meanwhile, Trump called firefighters “sons of bitches” for working overtime to save the lives of his own rally attendants.

Tucker Carlson is now saying his lost-in-the-mail evidence against Biden (the son who isn’t running for president, not the one that is running) has been found and is now back in transit.
Hope you paid for express because you have 5 days left to share with the class.

Brace Belden of TrueAnon fame is also skeptical of that excuse.
Granted, I think the whole Hunter Biden thing is nothingburger…yet social media is censoring it like it is something. If they just let the story run, it would be forgotten about in less than a week.

Sometimes I wonder, what does the “Lady” in Lady Liberty symbolize in a country that’s pretty much always been male dominated in terms of leadership?
Does the “Lady” portion stand for equality or what?
What kept the French from just making it a dude and calling him “Lord Liberty“ in the first place?

Good news everyone: the NZ dual referendums on euthanasia and cannabis’ results came back, and the former is legalised while the latter isn’t. Pro-gun people will now proceed to rub salt in the wounds of the legalise it! people.
