  1. Slow day here in Precinct HILL 2-D 01. I’m at a polling location that only serves one precinct. In Ohio a precinct has a max of 1,400 voters. I’ve processed 4 provisional ballot voters in the first 3 hours since the poll opened. I’m told there were more early voters for this election than there were for the one in August and that saw record turnout…for an August election, anyway. But this paper ballot judge position is really easy when there’s only one precinct and one ballot type to work with.
  2. Hall is the tall blonde lead singer. Oates is the short guitar player with dark curly hair who sings backup. That’s how I tell them apart.
  3. It wasn’t upside down. That misconception needs to die. I know it never will. But yeah, Biden using security forces to violently disperse the crowd would draw the obvious comparisons.
  4. I did my part. Given the results in August I’ll be shocked if we don’t enshrine women’s reproductive rights in the constitution tomorrow. I’m cautiously optimistic about the recreational cannabis issue but I haven’t seen any polling. It could just be wishful thinking on my part. I’m volunteering as a poll worker again. It was pretty rewarding to participate last time so I decided to give it another go. I’ll be a paper ballot judge tomorrow. I’m not committed to doing it again after this but who knows? I said the same thing back in August. GO ISSUES 1 & 2!!
  5. You’re just seeing what you want to see if you genuinely believe that.
  6. Who did your team send to other games to record video of the signals of your future opponents?
  7. Yeah, he’s not going to put U.S. service members at risk. The Israelis are never going to allow fair living conditions to the Palestinian people. There’s not going to be a Palestinian state because Israel doesn’t want one. They’ll just offer shitty deals that no one in their right mind would ever accept then blame the Palestinians for why there’s no Palestinian state. Just like they’ve always done. Whatever comes after Hamas is eliminated, if Hamas is eliminated, will still involve the Palestinian people being treated like shit. Our support of Israel already makes us complicit in that arrangement. Putting U.S. troops on the ground would just make them targets. Sooner or later someone would get killed and then we risk getting sucked into a larger conflict. It would just be asking for trouble to get our own troops involved.
  8. Israel doesn’t treat them like equal humans. That’s not propaganda. That’s fact.
  9. I suppose it’s about as true of Israeli citizens as it is of American citizens. They have their share of the populace that share the extremist ideology of their whack job government just like we have our MAGA crowd.
  10. Kind of a sweeping generalization there, don’t you think? What about Netanyahu and his coalition of right-wing religious nationalists who are trying to overthrow the judiciary?
  11. One of the posters here has Shelby Foote as his avatar. I forget who. Maybe he’ll show up and give us his take.
  12. “Then you shouldn’t have put it in my refrigerator.”
  13. What good would an asteroid strike in Ann Arbor on November 11 do for you?
  14. You mean like it was before one nation promised another nation the land of a third nation? Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917 Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet. "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours, Arthur James Balfour
