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.

Racist ?
I'm full latino, but educated enough to hear a low intelligence lying scammer as Trump and recognize what he is, so ...
How he caused hundreds of thousands of deaths with his no clue management of Covid, Ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, drinking bleach, and bright UV light up the ass total idiocies.
How he lied about the 2020 election, and staged an armed insurrection and enjoyed it on TV without intervening to stop the bloodshed: "no one died", he said recently and you can find the video easily.
How he treated his workforce all his life, not paying thousands and taking them to court for measly economic wins, a way of life.
How he robbed from a welfare fund, and other multiple scams (Trump University).
How he betrays left and right anyone at a whim, from world allies or NATO to faithful followers.
How he admires an fawns on dictators, wanting madly to be one, probably will if not curbed.
How he is deified in a cult like manner by dumb followers or those enriched in the chaos.
A multiple bankrupted felon instituting tariffs that are finally paid by americans as a cure all for the economy and his voters don't even understand that detail.
A sex predator and pedophile, barging in minors' vestuaries, pining for his daughter, Epstein's buddy, cheater of all his wives, burying a mother of his children in an unmarked patch of ground in one of his golf clubs to save ...
A "billionaire" eternally asking every dollar he can from his poor worshippers ...
But we are the deluded ones
But you’re wasting your time replying to people who only remember that one time they bought a dozen eggs “on-sale” for $1.50 during tRumps last term.
Low information voters are a thing, I’m not sure how we get around it.
