Trashy trailer tramp tried traversing troubled truth trove. Tried.

They began trying to stoke doubt on mail-in voting years ago, along with trying to gut the postal service. We could see all this coming long before the election.

EDIT: Grammar

I hope this domino effect continues. It's time corporations remember who contributes value to their businesses, and it's not the leeches, er, shareholders.

Isn't he?! He's like a caricature of every used car salesman with some alternate 1985 Biff thrown in.

It could tell them there's likely a live person receiving their bullshit, so continue spamming with other means.

Bear in mind these are all just ideas I have about how they operate, based on nothing really. I try to imagine how spammers analyze data they receive to target us.

Edit: In italics

I always block them right away. My idea is that any interaction flags you as 'positive direct contact' in their scumbag networks, making them likely to increase the spamming. I realize the act of blocking may in itself trigger this, if they track undeliverable contact, but idk what else to do.

Testify!

She should still be raving and slurring her words relatively harmlessly in some dive bar, but nooooooo...Georgia had to go and get her elected.

We've all seen these people. We know they exist and carry on saying stuff like that. The old grandads and uncles who used to mutter these things, often harmlessly or even comically...the internet has brought them together and compounded the problem. Misery loves company.

Can there be hope for improvement? I think these people would have to understand what they're doing to themselves first, but they seem to prefer things this way. We need some sort of social media rehab or crotchety curmudgeon awareness.

This is good insight, thank you.

It seems to me this is all a stalling tactic for unprofitable companies. Is that correct?

I think you're exactly right. He gets so caught up requesting crime in his favor (loyalty as he sees it) that his intentions are obvious.

And yet, we still have doubts as to whether he will suffer consequences for all he's done. Somehow. Fuck this nonsense.

"I'll Sgt your throat..."

When McCain chose her I remember thinking, "They've thrown out the last of the few principles they had. The nutjobs will be the new GOP norm".

IIRC, McCain didn't even want her on the ticket, but he did go along with it--embracing the crazy to try and get more votes. There were many missteps that led to today's chaos, but I always felt this was a big turning point.

If the independent litmus test were "do you find some of Trump's policies acceptable?" then sure, I would agree with you. But that's incorrect. Republicans embracing full-blown insanity has taken them out of the running for many independents, leaving them only with whomever the Dems decide to nominate.

So in that sense I suppose you're right--when one of the choices is always hate-fueled insanity, many independents become de facto Dems.

I will enjoy seeing this wannabe try out Trump tactics, feel heartened by the handful of nutcases who show up to cheer, and go on to get axed anyway. In case you don't remember, this is the moron who dodged the process server last year by pretending he wasn't home--as if his consequences would just disappear.

I live in Collin county. I agree with others who have said the voters choose based on the R and name recognition. Yet you don't find a lot of supporters of corruption or hardcore regressive policies you see with Paxton or Abbott. As voters, many of them are just not making the connection.

Keep holding your breath, the knight in deep-fried armor is surely on his way

That's too many words for these muppets. "Dump the Chump" or "Ditch Dipshit Donald", keep it simple.

Strongman won't act on his initial whim? What is Stongman afraid of? Strongman looks like pansy RINO now. Strongman of old never worried about weak court weenies. Stop doubting, make Strongman great again!

Well stated. If this memo is real, it just underscores how they're running on nothing but fear.

It's nice to think that some of the base and right-leaners could start realizing this, but that may just be my undying optimism flaring up.

Damn, consequences suck. I'll take my chances with North Korea, they seem nice!
