“In our democracy, the only title higher and more powerful than that of president is the title of citizen. It is every citizen’s right and duty to help shape the future legacy of our nation.”

A club sandwich is just a ham and turkey sandwich wearing a BLT as a hat, and I don't know why we don't all want them all the time

Alt: a person wearing black gloves is cutting a sandwich. A large sandwich. A very tasty looking sandwich. A large yet not large enough sandwich. With salad, cheese, a meat or two. And bacon.

Tbh - there are occasions in a restaurant when I have *absolutely no fucking idea* what I want to eat, and why tf did I even come in here anyway?

Two things are likely on the menu that will close that circle...... chicken tenders or club sandwich.

There's some truth to that, I'm afraid.

Here is a good timeline on the 666 5th Ave loan. Trump has been extorting Qatar for a quite some time. Jared Kushner has been the biggest beneficiary of Trump's corruption. www.justsecurity.org/69094/timeli...

For us, barely enough to wash out the day. Stilt houses on the Outer Banks? 9 have washed out to see in the past few weeks. This will probably get a few more.

So dominion voting got sold, look at this fascinating statement from their new owner (not to doom but this is, uh, suboptimal). www.dominionvoting.com

(Dominion voting website now redirecting to libertyvote.com with the following statement:)

Our Promise.
-
My Fellow Americans,
Today, I am proud to announce Liberty Vote - a 100% American-owned election technology company dedicated to restoring trust in our elections. Our mission is clear: every vote must be secure, fair, and verifiable.
I have spent my life working to strengthen America's elections. That commitment began years ago, in the aftermath of the 2000 election, when I worked for the Missouri Secretary of State. Later, as Election Director in St. Louis, I led the effort to modernize outdated systems and rebuild public trust. Eventually, I founded an election technology company that today serves nearly one in four voters nationwide.
With Liberty Vote, we are building on that legacy. We are turning the page and beginning the vital work of restoring faith in American elections. While these changes will not happen overnight, Liberty Vote's mission is rooted in American values and committed to transparency, independent audits, and verifiable paper records.
Our purpose is simple: to ensure that America's elections are secure, fair, and honest.
Scott Leiendecker
Founder and Chairman, Liberty Vote

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
