Different Drummer
Different Drummer's JournalI have voted absentee most of the time I've been...
voting due to a mobility impairment I have--absentee is just easier for me. I only voted in three races--the Presidential race, a U.S. Senate race, and one other minor race. I'm in Georgia but, bucking the trend of the state, I'm blue so, of course, I voted for Hillary. Johnny Isakson is running for re-election in the Senate and I voted for his Democratic challenger, Jim Barksdale. The minor race I voted in had a GOP incumbent going against a Libertarian candidate--I voted for the Libertarian. The rest were local offices where Republican incumbents were running unopposed. Didn't vote in those.
It sounds to me like you're not compatible with...
her family and, as others have said, family compatibility is an important consideration. If I were you, I wouldn't pursue the relationship with her any further. However, if you choose to do so, it would be a good idea to be an expensive plane ride and at least one time zone away from her family.
Possible reason for Trump's success: MSNBC version
Tweety and Chuck Todd (among others) were on Morning Joe this morning. A discussion came up about the outrageous tweets Dimwit Don has been sending out since the first debate. Tweety opined that people who support DD are willing to overlook his lunacy because he makes them feel like he can solve their problems and he appeals to their sense of patriotism. I suppose that's an accurate explanation of how Don Boy has captured the loyalty of his supporters.
Nope. Awhile ago, I decided
that, whenever I saw right wing nuttery in my feed, I was going to unfollow (not unfriend) the person(s) responsible and I've stuck to that. Also, I've downgraded the friend status of some people and have started following more non-political pages. Those measures have helped keep a lot of toxicity out of my feed.
Ex-Fox News Star Tantaros Presents Therapist Records Backing Up Ailes Harassment
Counsel for Tantaros released a signed affidavit from her former therapist, Dr. Michele Berdy, who backs up the charges her patient has made toward and Ailes and others.
Over the course of many months (20142016), Andrea relayed to me on multiple occasions instances of Mr. Ailes demeaning and overtly predatory behavior, as well as the abusive conduct of Fox News public relations department. The statement goes on to confirm that Tantaros spoke about retaliatory actions taken by various Fox News staffers after she spoke up about Ailes behavior. It also notes that Berdy came forward on her own.
I also want to make clear that Andrea did not reach out to me about her present case against Fox News, it reads, in a tweet sent by Politico reporter Kelsey M. Sutton. After reading about it in the media, and also reading reports that Fox News was denying her claims, I emailed Andrea to tell her that I knew that she was telling the truth because she had told me, in a therapeutic setting where she could have had no motive to lie, about the conduct of Mr. Ailes... and others at the time, or very shortly after, the harassment, retaliation, and pervasive hostile and sexualized workplace conditions took place.
