    [quote quote=3267] There are 80,000 patients in PA, with similar numbers in MI, FL, etc.[/quote]

    There are fewer patients in PA and MI because of their governors. *zing*  Actually, I think PA rescinded their nursing home order after the health official was caught pulling her grandmother out of a nursing home just before the order went into effect.  Remember the Ilhan Omar videos?  They knew nursing homes were a good source of votes.

    I hate mail-in voting.  If I was given an option, I would have voted in person, on Tuesday.  The bar code on my envelope was crooked.  I hope that doesn’t mean anything, but it seemed like it was a weird anomaly.  I guess we’ll see what happens with my vote.

    This is rather pedestrian.  Yes, there’s an FBI investigation into international money laundering by Hunter and his associates.  They used an already open case (low evidentiary standard) to obtain the laptop.  Having a case number and having the repair store owner testify as to chain of custody before a grand jury is not that exciting.

    Now this has legs.

    Palm tree maintenance is no joke.

    Also, this is, given what we know, the likeliest explanation.

    Well, I guess those terms mean strange things to Democrats.  Kamala Harris was a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal, and now she’s running away from it.

    It’s my understanding that these are raw numbers of who has voted early from each state’s Secretary of State.  No tabulation of who each voter voted for (counting generally doesn’t start now), so who an independent (or a GOP or Dem) voted for isn’t in the number.  There’s an assumption that voters are going to vote for their party, but right now the votes are just being collected, not tabulated.

    Oh, as for verification, how about this:

    I’ll just leave this here.  Hawaii is no different from California.

    Also, the justification is “posting of hacked material.”  Hacked how?  Hunter Biden brought his laptop in for servicing and never picked it up.  At some point, it becomes abandoned (usually in the service agreement).  Like if you pawn something and don’t redeem it after x number of days, or if you never pick up your dry cleaning.

    The original Andrew Kerr tweet with the image of the invoice (with relevant personal information redacted), with the language from the invoice saying if you don’t pick it up after 90 days, it’s considered abandoned and property of the shop is gone, with Twitter claiming it “violates Twitter’s Rules.”  Amazing.

    Our Silicon Valley overlords have now embargoed the story.

    (Twitter deleted the NY Post’s tweet announcing the story).

    (Facebook was the first to prevent posts linking to the story)

    Facebook’s director of communications is literally a former DCCC staffer.  Surprise?

    For those who have not escaped the information silo of the Left, it’s now happening out in the open, and people are simply conditioned to accept it.

    I thought the whole point of wearing masks was to prevent an infected person wearing a mask from transmitting it.  If it gets into the air conditioning system, or you get some on your hands and then touch your face, you’re going to get it.

    What makes me angry is the Silicon Valley overlords decided that the WHO was the arbiter of the “science,” when they LIED to us, or that somehow the CDC knew better, so let’s just arbitrarily censor actual science.  At the end of all this, the media, Facebook, Google, and Twitter will have blood on their hands; much more than allegations against Fox News that have already been debunked.  Also, the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, and other publications have sacrificed their credibility on the altar of wokeism.  It’s sad.  In my view, the Iran nuclear deal was the Democrats testing how much control they had over the media and “the narrative.”  It was a test that America failed.  Look at the results.

    Could be worse.

    Ted Wheeler is trailing in the mayoral race to this woman, who not only wore a skirt with communist leaders on it, but basically said antifa isn’t bad, so she’s going to crack down on the police if there are riots.

    It appears that the media, (and law professors with TDS who could walk over to their tax colleagues’ offices) who have been 1099’d or W-2 earners their entire careers, are now pivoting to the loans and the amount of loans.  1) Trump is in real estate, so he will have loans; 2) the tax system is structured to encourage developers and lenders to take on these risks and lever up.

    Another thread from a woman who was formerly in commercial real estate.  I, too, thought the interest rates on the loans was kind of low for the types of bridge and development loans that are standard for real estate developments.
