If the oceans die, we die....

1stFelon has so far failed to curb inflation, address the federal deficit, root out "waste, fraud and abuse" in federal agencies, end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours or "make America healthy again." He has not just failed to achieve those things. He has failed spectacularly. Inflation is only getting worse. Debt is climbing everyday. Firing in bulk federal workers is not finding waste, fraud and abuse. Ukraine war has not ended. Out breaks of diseases are happening rapidly. #trump #lies #failures

I had Twitter then too, but it was for the instant news. I had two or three accounts there, one was an influencer account that filled my doorstep with expensive products for my Klout Score.
But I dropped that account, to get a Social one.
And all was going well, I had preblocked Muskhole before he owned it. I didn't need to wait, I knew he'd never be someone I'd follow. And I left after he bought it. Google failed at every social network they tried. #Google #Failures

"This is a confession. I love daytime TV. I smoke, even though I officially gave up years ago. I’m often late, and usually lie about why. And sometimes I feel good when others feel bad.

"The Japanese have a saying: “The misfortunes of others taste like honey.” […] In Hebrew enjoying other people’s catastrophes is 'simcha la‑ed'."

State and election officials from across the country issued a ⭐️warning Wednesday that ongoing concerns with the country's mail system could #disenfranchise #voters.

#Mail-in #voting has become more popular since the pandemic but officials have persistently warned that the U.S. Postal Service has struggled with #delivery #failures.

The latest warning from the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors comes as a number of states are set to
👉begin early votingthis month.

🔥A host of problems with the mail delivery system have been evident over the past year, the two groups wrote in a letter to U.S. Postmaster General #Louis #DeJoy Wednesday.

These include receiving mailed ballots that had been postmarked on time arrive after the deadline to be counted
and instances in which ballots that were correctly addressed were returned to voters as undeliverable.

"We have not seen improvement or concerted efforts to remediate our concerns," despite repeated outreach efforts to USPS, the groups wrote.

"We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action ... failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process," they said.

While mail-in voting is likely to be less prevalent this year than it was in 2020, both parties have embraced encouraging voters to cast their ballots early via mail.


Trump spent years disparaging early voting as "corrupt," earlier this year he and several GOP groups embraced mail-in voting.

Democrats, on the other hand, welcomed vote-by-mail efforts in 2020 and now enjoy a large mail-in voting advantage in swing states
