Actually, they're  Trumptoids out in parking lots accusing people of being "mules" when they deposit their ballots in drop-off boxes:

DeSantis Eases Voting Restrictions In Florida After Hurricane...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"In an executive order, DeSantis allowed Lee, Charlotte and Sarasota counties to set up additional early voting sites and lifted Election Day rules that require people to vote at their assigned precinct. Additionally, residents there can now request the county to send a mail-in ballot to an address different from the one on their voter file."

What, no "required" actions (by election deniers) by state legislative approval? No new laws passed by the state to allow for sending in a mail-in ballot from a different address from the one on file? You don't have to vote in your assigned district? Heresy! Where are the election deniers now when you'd think they'd be all over this...

In 1791 They Didn't Have Serial Numbers On Guns So...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"A federal judge based in Mississippi has released a scorching order expressing frustration with the Supreme Court’s Second Amendment opinion issued last summer and ordered the Justice Department to brief him on whether he needs to appoint an historian to help him decipher the landmark opinion."
"“And we are not experts in what white, wealthy and male property owners thought about firearms regulation in 1791,” he said."

In 1791 They Didn't Have Serial Numbers On Guns So...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"A federal judge blocked a federal law on Wednesday that prohibits the possession of a firearm with an “altered, obliterated or removed” serial number in light of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling expanding gun rights earlier this year."
"Goodwin said in his ruling that a firearm without a serial number, in 1791, was not considered more dangerous or unusual than other firearms because serial numbers were not commonly used at the time."
"Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his majority opinion that the regulations on firearms should be “consistent” with historical patterns of regulating firearms."

Judge Goodwin's reasoning is just brilliant, now isn't it?
In other guns nuts news, ya gotta read this one on a road rage shootout incident in Florida: looking at the perps, I doubt they're democrats:

I have no astronomy equipment to sell and recently re-upped my $15 bucks and the only forum that is semi-active here is in the process of dying, too.  
Well, I posted two relatively recent threads with around 14 or so hits with no replies and these were topics recently discussed in the news. So, I thought they'd be topics for discussion but no takers...

He got that right; they'd still vote for him and Greg and Rich would be first in line...
PS: The latest from the heroine of the GOP, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had to this say today about Kevin McCarthy: “I think that to be the best Speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway,” Greene said. “And if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it. I think that’s the best way to read that."
That's today's GOP...

Durham Strikes Out Again On Steele Dossier Source

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"...the primary source behind the Steele dossier, was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI in a case brought by Special Counsel John Durham."  
"Trump had promoted Durham’s investigation, saying at one point he would uncover “the crime of the century.”

Another colossal Republican-issued waste of time and money just like multiple Benghazi investigations and Hillary's emails....

"Conspiracy To Defraud"

I like you guys a lot, but you are monolithically focused on a person who does not matter to most voters.
I expect Trump to announce shortly after the midterms. If anything, he'll do so in an attempt to thwart pending indictments. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been in talks with him to become his running mate. I'll bet the cons on the forum will be ecstatic to hear that...
