That’s reek. Wreak is a verb meaning to cause a large amount of harm or damage. It’s also archaic.

It’s not like this is a new story; we’ve seen it many times before, usually resulting in a lot of pain and suffering for humanity to recover from afterwards.

…and that has to do with echo chambers.

Not only do they have pastors in church reading specially selected passages of scripture (often out of context) and preaching the message of the GOP instead of the message of Jesus, but the TV and radio stations they watch and listen to, and the social media groups they’re in all are focused the same way. And all these places share the same “I have the answers; listen to me and everything will be OK for your soul” approach to life, which is easier than continually having to apply your own critical thought to the barrage of information we’re otherwise exposed to in modern society.

Also worth pointing out where you say “their minds are closed and locked” — in biblical language, the cultures of the time thought that people thought with their hearts. So all those “their hearts were hardened” scattered throughout the Bible? They’re talking about the exact same thing you are… and it’s never a good thing.

Very true, but there comes a point where that no longer matters.

Please get out and vote and get things to that point, my American friends!

I was just glad to hear that the Democrats have a plan this time for what happens after Trump declares victory in the face of “nothing decided yet”.

I hope it includes Fox News.

Well, I definitely wasn’t expecting that… and some of the people polled have already voted.

Which book is their book? Obviously not the one they wave around as a magic talisman but never read more than a few carefully selected sentences out of at a time….

Also, Jesse Watters has had documented affairs. Is Jesse secretly voting Harris?

I’m pretty sure the venue is keeping that bill open specifically so that Trump can never return.

Recognizing that every choice is loss is the first step.

The second step is figuring out the best course of action to minimize the losses. This step can be VERY hard.

“Babe… what are you DOING here? It’s not safe to bring the kids to the polling station! What happens if some illegal immigrant starts shooting? Get them out of here IMMEDIATELY!”

“Oh, I’m sorry honey! I’ve got plans to be out with the boys guarding the polling station on election day; you’ll have to stay home and take care of the children. Maybe you can vote next time….”

You want to know why Republicans did a hard course change on mail in voting for 2024?

THIS is why. The husband can ensure the wife fills out her ballot “correctly” in the comfort of their own home, instead of the wife filling it out as she sees fit at the polling station.

Maybe he should take up that urge to read the Bible. And pay attention to what he’s reading. Maybe start with the gospel of Mark, and not Genesis.

Well, he’s probably trying to take back the word “gay” — meaning happy. Maybe to him it’s normal to be happy on your sofa?

If you do the first, you’ll likely have more opportunities to do the second down the line… assuming you survive.

Wait… GOP is declaring victory on Tuesday, while also being the impetus behind assuring that the full results won’t be available until later in the week… at the earliest?

US elections happen like clockwork every 2 years. Why isn’t there just a voter roll purge day at a reasonable point in time every 2 years to provide people the time they may need to re-register?

I know the answer, but if it’s honest, it should be baked into the state’s election cycle.

It’s not about what he likes, it’s about what can erode public trust in the process enough that people will reject the entire system and Trump can declare himself president without having to worry about the will of the people.

Isn’t this the guy recorded on live video asking if they were real or fake, and after being assured they were real, waited until nobody was watching, looked around, then grabbed the two ballots and hid them, and was later filmed telling another guy that the ballots were off by two, and that he had them?

How exactly does that LIVE video footage match his story?
