Out of the Blue [Nov 05, 2024, 10:27 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Today is Election Day in the U.S. If you are a voter, I'm really hoping this is
not the first you're hearing of this. MrsBlue and I are about to duck out to do
our civic duty. I promised the Pickle Rick on my desk an "I Voted" sticker, and
he seems excited about that. We expect things to go smoothly for us, so I really
appreciate those who willingly endure long-lines and other obstacles that stand
between them and democracy. The stakes are high and the rhetoric has reflected
that, so hopefully we can proceed peacefully through this process and its
aftermath, Guy Fawkes Night notwithstanding.
To follow up on my jury duty summons, last night I learned I don't have to report tomorrow, so my luck held out. My next check-in is after business tomorrow, when I find out if I'm required to report on Thursday. I'll keep you posted.

Just a quick question for those with stage 10 TDS. Why are/were you okay with multiple indictments that were used against Trump that were based on lies and; for the most part; was ran out of the Oval Office? Why are/were you okay with the Biden administration to collude with media platforms to censor people? Why are/were you okay with this administration emboldening lies to de-platform, de-bank, and doxx people?
Maybe you forgot or are in denial, but this installed regime is what soft fascism looks like. Since we're ratcheting up the Hitler 2.0 rhetoric, it seems fair to ask again: if he was that bad before and didn't do all those things he was accused of, then why continue on the same logic? Doesn't make sense.
Speaking of fog and denial...
I'm legit asking, because those are all reported on. Heck, even recently they went after a meme maker saying he was doing election interference and will throw him in jail, so I ask, what part(s) have I said that aren't true?
