God bless KP ... and you for making me laugh! ?
I just read that Robert Trump is in a neuro intensive care unit. He may have had a stroke.
All the usual critical illnesses are still going on. The thing is, people wait so long to come to the hospital now because they are afraid of Covid, so they come in twice as sick.
I want to encourage those of us who are able, to sign up to be election workers. Poll workers are desperately needed this fall. Many of our poll workers are elderly and won’t want to risk it this year.
I signed up today and I’m so excited!! Call your county Supervisor of Elections office and they will get you started.
Also, BUY STAMPS! Ship through the USPS if you can. Support your post office. If we all do a little, it will make a difference!
In addition to removing the sorting machines, the USPS has been removing mailboxes in Montana and Oregon. They also planned to do it nationally. Once it started happening, citizens and some politicians really raised a stink, so DeJoy called off the removal.
As Rachel just stated, shaming them doesn't work, nor does hoping for the best. But making noise does -- or as John Lewis would say, making "good trouble"!
I hope someone is paying attention to the fact that Ivanka got a trademark for voting machines.
Snopes on "Ivanka got a trademark for voting machines.":
It is true that in 2018, China granted trademarks for multiple products, potentially including voting machines, under Ivanka Trump's name brand. However she closed her business in 2018.
Please provide a link to a reliable and recent news source if this is something of concern.
You know how T and his fellow Republicans are saying mail voter fraud. Well a Federal Judge in Pennsylvania told the Trump campaign and Republican to pony up that proof. Good luck to them with that.
@lowtide That's a great call out! I also signed up to be a poll worker for the first time a couple of months ago. They gave me the option to work just election day and/or early voting days, so there are options.
This little bit of interesting news really piqued my curiosity... what is Ivanka up to with the voting machines being manufactured in China?
Apparently she was granted multiple trademarks, including some for miscellany like sausage casings, wedding dresses and senior nursing homes, even though her fashion brands were shut down.
According to a Washington Post news source (" China greenlights large batch of Ivanka Trump trademark applications ") :
" These trademarks were sought to broadly protect Ms .Trump's name, and to prevent others from stealing her name and using it to sell her products"
(from a spokesman for Ivanka's 'ethics' attorney per same article)
It's strange that voting machines, rarely used in China, would be slipped into the hodgepodge of trademarks ...???
@lowtide, I bought the coolest Bugs Bunny stamps from the USPS. If you go onto their website, you can see their collections.
