All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[AnakinFlair]

Eh, he's taking hydrofullofshit and has a deal with Satan. He'll survive ...

Can I just say that I love that you can write out hydrofullofshit, and nothing happens. But you try to write out hydroxychloroquine, and the site censors you.

EDIT: Or not.

[Kirby101]

Are we talking about what's happening in Kentucky at all?

Absolutely disgusting.

I don't understand why the Democratic Governor can't do something about it?

Did the previous governor sign all his authority away in a lame duck session as is becoming Republican custom? Or does the gerrymandered legislature simply have a supermajority?

Prolly both.

I’d love to hear from some Republican voters in this thread about this one. Since one said they vote republican since their policies benefit the most people.

You guys all cool with this ****? You must be. It’s not a new tactic for republicans.

They think winning is more important than Democracy.

I looked it up (most links buried under last year's election results) but it looks like they did the usual "run out the clock until the Supreme Court 'no changes to close to the finish even if it IS clear cut suppression' standard" can be applied. They are barred from adding more places by federal court order because doing so would be a 'last minute change.'

What a load of horse ****.

Close. The duty of organizing elections goes to the Kentucky Secretary of State, Michael Adams.
Guess what he's done since taking office in January? Pushing for even more Voter ID, closing polling places, and arguing that all ballots have been sent out when people aren't receiving them.

Guess which party he's in? Guess what party his predecessor that had actual polling places was from?

Republicans only support democracies that would elect Republicans, the f***ers.

Why did Barr do this?

Mini-Scoop: NJ US Attorney Craig Carpenito held a conference call Saturday morning with his entire staff and told them he'd only agreed to take over SDNY because Barr had told him Geoff Berman had resigned of his own volition. The first he'd heard about the whole thing was Friday afternoon when Barr called him to ask him to take over. He was apparently shocked to learn late Friday evening that Berman wasn't resigning voluntarily and actually hadn't resigned at all.

Hehe. I thought the actual name was still censored, too. I like the new name better.

It's also exasperated by Democrats like Amy McGrath who voted for Trump and said in an interview that she would have voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Or challengers like Alison Lundergan Grimes, who refused to even say if she voted for President Obama when trying to unseat Mitch in 2014. That's how conservative the state is. If you don't vote for the GOP, you don't get elected no matter the party.

Charles Booker, who is skyrocketing up the polls in KY, is the first Congressional candidate in almost 40 years to say he voted for the Democratic party as POTUS publicly.

It's a bit difficult to respond because there's no specific post explaining the objections. You asked "Are we talking about what's happening in Kentucky at all? Absolutely disgusting."

BeastieRunner said "Yes, and nobody really knew how to stop it."

Kirby101 said "I don't understand why the Democratic Governor can't do something about it?"

Gary Lensman asked "Did the previous governor sign all his authority away in a lame duck session as is becoming Republican custom? Or does the gerrymandered legislature simply have a supermajority?"

And then Kirby101 said "Prolly both."

I'm guessing you guys are complaining about the limited number of polling places open in Kentucky during the primary.

I can't be a hundred percent sure, because the posts are vague about what the problem is, and what everyone here knows about it.

Kentucky changed rules to allow everyone in the state to vote by absentee ballot, so there isn't as great a need for in-person voting.

The limited number of polling places was meant to put fewer elections employees at risk. It was part of the agreement announced April 24.

The partisan advantage in primaries is limited. It doesn't benefit Republicans to have lower turnout about Democrats now.

I'm guessing the people who are pissed off about wearing a mask at Walmart for 10 minutes would also be inclined to think that active shooter drills are a massive overreaction.

To be clear, you should wear a mask at Walmart for however long you're there. And active shooter drills probably do more harm than good.

So the White House admitted Trump was behind the firing of the NY attorney general who investigated him and his friends.
Isn't that the textbook definition of obstruction of justice?
And to think that the GOP won't bat an eye about it....
