We can also reform the law to re-expand early and absentee voting rather than force people to wait in hours long lines on election day. 

I am more interested in hearing arguments about how the law as written is an improvement for all Georgians, not just the white ones currently in control of the state.

Seems like there are some expansions to accommodate voter volume at locations and expand early voting, unless I'm misinterpreting this:

https://www.gpb.org/news/2021/03/27/what-does-georgias-new-voting-law-sb-202-do

"One of the biggest changes in the bill would expand early voting access for most counties, adding an additional mandatory Saturday and formally codifying Sunday voting hours as optional. Counties can have early voting open as long as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at minimum. If you live in a larger metropolitan county, you might not notice a change. For most other counties, you will have an extra weekend day, and your weekday early voting hours will likely be longer

Another change that was proposed last year and is now law would require large polling places with long lines to take action if wait times surpass an hour at certain times during the day. Those massive polls with more than 2,000 voters and wait times longer than an hour would have to hire more staff, add more workers or split up the precinct after that election. More than 1,500 of Georgia's precincts have over 2,000 voters"

Fucking idiots lol

 

I hope all these anti maskers catch covid. Bet it wont happen to Tucker though, he will sit on his trust fund snd huge contract so he doesnt have to interact with the scumbags he claims to represent. 
 

I would love for a sister fucking Trump supporter to tell me to take my mask off. Thank God those terrorists are more or less extinct around here. My condolences for those that live in “Trump country”

Nebraska Right? That must be rough. Good for you for having your own mind and not being a right wing sheep though. 

There's dozens of us!

I actually live in the Omaha metro which goes a little more left leaning than the rest of the state. District 2 went for Biden which helped in the election as well. But there are still plenty of conservative jerks all over the place in Omaha too. The further west you get, the more conservative it is.

You terrible big city elite! 
SOCIALISM!!!!

 

 

I would have thought it was more conservative east. I Looked at a map then realized Omaha is way farther east than I remember, so i guess that makes sense.

 

Unrelated:

 

I long for the days of quiet conservative conservatism, while I disagree with it. Look at Todays bullshit right wing media culture wars. 
 

That meat story about Biden cancelling hamburgers lol

 

People shouting literal fake news like a rush to be the biggest Vapid idiot. Looking at you rep Boebert

I hope the aggressive trolling continues

Cant wait until he flips on Trump like a dirty little snitch lol. 
 

He knows guys in real federal prison will wear him like a puppet, So he will give up all the goods to not spend his final years being a prison wife. Trump will throw him under the bus ASAP too. 
 

His son is a fucking idiot as well. Please New York, do not vote for him.

Ugh.... That is horrible.  The increase in anti-Asian violence and hate crimes is incredibly disturbing and appalling.  I only hope that it will improve from here.  I've seen some discussion of it in the news over the past couple months, so I'm glad at least they are bringing awareness to the issue and working to address it and fight it.

Student to return to Taiwan after being bludgeoned with hammer in NYC

Inexcusable! I hope the perpetrator is put in jail for a LONG time...

Unfortunately there's been a sharp increase in attacks on minorities such as Jews and Asians. Things will get better...

Travesty...

For nearly 25 years Howard Dudley sat in prison, wrongly incarcerated after only a 15-minute police investigation. This is not an exaggeration...The current circumstances are intolerable and the governor shows no interest in changing them. House Bill 877, a bill just introduced in the General Assembly, would change that.

'Panic buying:' Two-thirds of gas stations in North Carolina are empty

https://money.yahoo.com/gasoline-shortages-in-are-being-created-by-panic-buying-163256391.html

The chaos is “unfounded anxiety," Robert Sinclair, AAA’s Northeast senior manager of public affairs, told Yahoo Finance Live on Wednesday. "There's plenty of gasoline around and there are provisions being made. What we're seeing now, the shortages are being created by panic buying."

People are dumb? who would have guessed 🤔

Don’t disrespect people with mental disabilities by comparing them to Trump supporting terrorists!

 

A pile of vomit? Sure. But I would wager most with a disability have more cognitive ability Than Trump himself.  

Just to be perfectly clear, I certainly do NOT agree with the attorney and how he was demeaning people with mental disabilities. Furthermore, I think his defense is flimsy, at best. What he said was so asinine that I had to share it 🙂
