I think the GOP establishment got what they wanted from Trump, the SCOTUS, and they are not going to put themselves at risk by doing a lot of illegal things to hand him the election. If he clearly wins, fine, but of he wants to do a lot of shady legal maneuvering to cheat his way in, they are not going to support him. He is now more a detriment than a boon to the party, and they have their eyes on their own elections.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'd like to see every elected office go blue - from the Oval Office down to the local dog catcher. Mayors, governors, state legislatures and senates - all of them.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm hopeful for my state congressional seat. Last time the Dem lost by 13 votes, but turnout is much higher this time. My state really needs some changes. eta: also state district for Mar-A-Lago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I went to city hall and dropped off my ballot and picked up a sticker (which feels a little like swiping an extra because they mailed one with the ballot but you know what? I deserve it) and swung by Evelyn's for a slice on the way home. Yum.
The road is being worked on right now, so from the highway to a couple blocks from city hall is kinda torn up and there's workmen directing traffic at the main intersection. I doubt that is actually nefarious, but it is troubling. OTOH, the parking lot was at least half full with people coming and going the whole time I was there, so maybe it's not really a problem. And I know there are other nearby dropoff points and more will open (including curbside) day after tomorrow.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Anyone else do the Spelling Bee, by chance? I do all of them, but I'm really digging the Spelling Bee right now.
Yes! I'm all about Spelling Bee and Vertex
I just completed my last 15 PostcardsToVoters and I'm off to drop them at the PO.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow!

Over 46% of registered voters have voted in NC already, about 2/3 by early voting rather than absentee ballots.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'd prefer that that zombie-ass motherfucker McConnell lose, but if not, I'll love it so much to watch him deal with Warren as Senate Majority
ActBlue or someone sent me an email last night with the subject line "MCCONNELL EXPLODED" and I have literally never been so disappointed in an email's body text in my life. I don't like to wish ill on anyone but I hope that fucker dies in a fire.

The NC and GA turnouts are a thing of beauty. I have relatives in Omaha and the way their state works they have a chance this year to give 1 electoral vote to Biden. They are psyched about that possibility.
