    This could easily go on the Illusion and Mist (I love how that means sh!t in German) thread, but I'll put it here.

    Remember Trump telling folks to vote twice? He was suggesting blatant voter fraud.

    Turns out, just like bleach injection, some folks will really be sheeple for the man.

    Yet another Donald Trump supporter, this time a bona fide Florida Man, has attempted ballot fraud, just to check to see if the voting system is secure. The amateur investigator, one Larry Wiggins of Manatee County, sent in an absentee ballot request for his late wife Ursula, who died in 2018, and the system worked exactly as it should: County election officials saw that the late Mrs. Wiggins had been removed from the voter rolls, and saw the signature on the ballot application didn't match one on file, so they contacted law enforcement. A deputy arrested Wiggins last week, and after being booked on one count of requesting an absentee ballot on behalf of another elector, a third-degree felony, Wiggins was released.

    Wiggins, a "self-described Democrat who supports President Donald Trump," told WFLA-TV he was worried about ballot integrity, you see, presumably since Donald Trump says mail-in ballots are an invitation to fraud.

    I've been living in a 'lesser of two evils' world most of my life. Is it the Kali Yuga?

    Do I support the guy down the street who has a pistol and might shoot me with it?

    Do I support the guy down the street who has an arsenal including automatic weapons and grenades who also wants to shoot me?

    Which one do I choose?

    Maybe I should just go to bed and let someone else choose. Then I can cop out and claim I'm not responsible because I didn't choose. That's an easy out.

    But what do I tell my kid? How do I justify my decision to do nothing?


    Do I want vigilante justice, company towns, non-disclosure agreements shoved down my throat just so I can eat, tolls on every road?

    The folks who want to bring down the government don't have any alternative.

    Bunkers and long pork ain't gonna cut it.


    I think I'd rather make a choice and do the best with it rather than cop out and try to just blow the whole thing up.

    Those jonesing for civil war can take their arsenals and shove them straight up you-know-where. Hard.

    I'm sorry to inform you that yes, it is indeed and the end of a cycle is always... Troublesome.

    I do believe that ultimately humanity has a bright future ahead of us, but the road there will be quite bumpy.

    Of course the direction of the future depends on our individual and collective choices made in the present.

    Nothing is set in stone. I choose peace and that's all I can do. We create our own reality.

    I'm trying very hard to help this reality be a good one. But I'm just one person. You nail it when you speak of collective choices, Wind.

    I recall folks making a big deal about a fly landing on or buzzing around Hillary or some such. It was a sure sign that she was a servant of the Devil.

    I find myself wondering now, where is all that concern? Where are all those same folks now? Do they have anything to say about Pence's two-minute buddy?

    The symbolism is just precious. It's utterly apropos that he had a fly on his hair for over two minutes. What goes around comes around, eh?

    This speaks to me personally because in the 80's I coined a term, "Republexcuse". I did so because Republicans were constantly giving excuses for their actions/failures and it was always the left-wing trinity: Democrats, Liberals, or Progressives. Just blame them, over and over and over.

    Ralph Reed's brother (remember the Christian Coalition?) proclaimed with pride and glee that they had succeeded in turning these words into derogatory names. He was pleased as punch.

    That was before Obama, so now there are more than three Republexcuses, there's a whole wheel!

    I don't subscribe or register online. I haven't used my Facebook page in years. This is the only forum I ever joined.

    It's so interesting to see what videos pop up on the sideline when I watch you tube. Especially after watching very disparate things. Right now there are news site vids, crafting vids, philosophy vids, comedy vids, science vids, political vids, pop culture vids, music vids, and more.

    It's a smorgasbord.

    You seem to be currently in a maelstrom of chaos. I hope you come out of it in one piece and in decent shape.

    The war in Afghanistan has been continuing for nine-teen freaking years.

    If Biden wins will he do something about it or just allow the war machine to continue?

    I'd be amazed if he did anything. The whole foundation of USA is based on war unfortunately.

    Does anyone recall Kai Winn?

    The early years...



    The later years...



    And before the fall...



    She was very power hungry and ended up turning to the Wraiths because the Prophets never spoke to her. She fell for a smooth-talker turned lover who was really a Cardassian who had been altered to look Bajoran. I true example of someone who just doesn't know when to stop.

    I learned today that John McCain's mom just died. She lived to be 108. Wow.
