Wait what?!?! I didnât know that Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic of the âFashion Policeâ were out on Election Day citing voters for their poor âgo to voteâ attire?
The most disturbing part of this is the attitude of the police. Weâve seen many examples of police bias reported over the last year: making common cause with armed mobs (some call them militias), spraying chemical agents on peaceful protestors, ignoring calls for assistance if they come from the âwrong side.â
Not all police act this way, of course. But the fact that it happens anywhere means that police need to be reorganized and retrained so that they can truly âprotect and serveâ all citizens.
ââŚInside the building, poll workers were doing their best to tune out the commotion. She picked up her ballot, filled it out and returned to her car. Then she joined a line of drivers heading to another location to turn in their ballots.â

Itâs enough to make you puke.
Despite all that, you get your ass to the polls and you vote your convictions.
If you donât, you get Trumped. Fuck that.
A pistol, a hearse, and two truckers playing a game of chicken enter a bar. The pistol goes off, one of the truckers drives off, and the hearse hauls a fresh corpse to the morgue.
And after personally encouraging voter intimidation and suppression, LOTUS only lost by a landslide. Bravo to the voters who stood up for their right to vote. Bravo!
Apgar [the hearse guy] said his goal was to highlight the scenario that, as Trump has alleged without evidence, Democrats were casting votes under the names of dead people.
You know what I heard? I heard that you, Apgar, have sex with the bodies you transport in your hearse. There is a boatload of evidence, just as much as Trumpâs evidence of all those dead people who voted in this election. Iâd like to âhighlight that scenarioâ in your hometown, because, you know, people need to know. People are saying.
Images that hopefully all Americans will remember every time they vote in the future. We know who did it, what party they represent and why they should be held accountable each and every election.
It my polling place in a heavily (80%) Democratic precinct we had about 150 people lined up to vote at 7:00am. The worst âintimidationâ we got all day was some dude in a pickup truck and Trump flags on the back, blasting country music and leaning on the horn as he slowly drove by the line. People in line quiet and mostly just nodded warily.
