Repost- Vote by Mail Only - every federal, state, and local election.

Vote by mail, every state, coast to coast.

We need social distancing,
We need to up the voter participation,
We need to make it easier to vote,
We need a work around for long lines at polls, often contrived,
We need a work around for too few voting machines at some locations often contrived,
We need to stop the changing of polling places at the last minute,
We need to trash the use of electronic voting machines who's votes tabulated can not be audited, but easily manipulated.

We need to think smarter and use the techniques used by republicans. Disasters mean immediate corrective reforms are required. When disaster strikes we must be at the ready with plans to bring drastic change that reshuffled the deck in our favor.

WE MUST PUSH FOR MAIL IN VOTING NATION WIDE, for the up coming November 2020 election and every local, state, and national election thereafter.

ALL OF THE VOTING PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE magically disappear with mail in only voting.

The emphasis should be we need to social distance, we do not know when the pandemic will be over, many election poll workers are elderly, we can not take the chance these elderly poll workers will get COVID-19 or the general voting population.

WE MUST SET UP AND VOTE BY MAIL 11/2020.

Please Note. CRTV is not a parody site by a long shot.

A video was just posted from an outfit called CRTV - but removed (by admin ?) before I could tack down their web info and was able to post their bio info.

The original poster and a later commenter identified the video as a parody of a satirical nature. It was not satire - CRTV is a new extreme Right wing propaganda site on the web.

Please familiarize yourself with this group and be aware they are the new kids on the block for disseminating Fascist propaganda, they are geared to a younger audience.

Russia geopolitics - dilemma of being landlocked.

(snip)
Russia’s access to the world’s oceans, aside from the Arctic, is also limited. What access it does have is blocked by other countries, which can be seen through the map below.

European Russia has three potential points from which to access global maritime trade. One is through the Black Sea and the Bosporus, a narrow waterway controlled by Turkey that can easily be closed to Russia. Another is from St. Petersburg, where ships can sail through Danish waters, but this passageway can also be easily blocked. The third is the long Artic Ocean route, starting from Murmansk and then extending through the gaps between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom.

Anderson Cooper's interview with Stormy Daniels propelled "60 Minutes" to its highest-rated episode in 10 years.

The CBS newsmagazine averaged 22.1 million viewers for Sunday's show, according to Nielsen, which is more than twice as many viewers than a typical edition of the show.

(The preliminary viewer number was 21.3 million, but the total ticked up a bit when same-day DVR viewership was factored in.)
