America is going through something similar to 9/11 and will be far more influential. The damage to our national security, our economy, our relationship to the rest of the world cannot be understated. This is truly the death of the American empire. We are showing ourselves to be a paper tiger. We have denigrated our allies for the past 14 months and now they are saying F U. We are destroying the economies of ME countries who were desperately trying to move from a post-colonial world to economies based on something other than natural resource exploitation. read more

Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack. read more

Time and again I have said that my opinion about Jan 6 is, simply, the break-in would not have occurred were it not for mail-in ballots used extensively due to COVID. It created widespread doubt in the election results. And I am f****** tired of people saying the only reason anyone thought that is because of Trump. That is a stupid assertion. People are plenty capable of thinking without Trump or the GOP telling them what to think.
TH: You are absolutely wrong. IF Piggy and his minions had simply accepted the results like every other losing presidential candidate in our nation's history, then NOTHING would have happened. There would have been NO mistrust of mail-in ballots because the only reason there IS mistrust over mail-in ballots is because Piggy and the right wing minions lied about them for months.

That being said, mailing ballots to all registered voters and then sending uncounted completed ballots back through the mail is a disaster waiting to happen. Small scale, such as absentee ballots, will not likely create mass hysteria such as what could happen on a larger scale if ballots did get lost or destroyed (accidentally or on purpose).

TH: Not it is not a disaster waiting to happen. The system is set up to monitor each and every ballot. Each ballot is uniquely identified, and each ballot is signed and that signature is compared to the signature on the registration, like you do in person. Since the ballot is individually identified then the ballot can be tracked from sending to receipt back. Each individual can confirm that their ballot was received and counted.

A disaster cannot happen.
That is a simple fact, that only simpletons don't understand
