@charles_gaba Years ago (I think during the 2nd Obama run) I had a conversation similar to this with a Canadian friend... she was gobsmacked and appalled at how long the US election cycle "ran"... I think of that convo often.
@BGPolitics Boyle County. The line was out the door at lunch so I went back after work only to discover they closed the poll at 4 (got off at 3:45 arrived at 4:02). SEVERAL people pulling in to discover the same.
Combination of voter apathy and small towns, I've never stood in a line of more than 10 people to vote in the last 24 years. 1st day of early voting in KY today went to my polling place at lunch and the line is out the door and through the parking lot.
@JurassicWorld My daughter has watched the entire series like 5 times... I handed her the pic and wait a full min before busting out laughing that she didn't get it...
Haven't seen the original in 10+ years myself. ๐
@HistoryMuppet Emmett Otter was my grandmother's fave Christmas movie and watching it with her (and the memory of it) did alot to boost my Muppet love...
In other words: Thanks for saying this. I needed that warm memory myself.
@maddenifico I was in a community theatre show once where I had to enter a scene crying... Id watch clips like these in the wings and enter weeping... worked everytime. ๐ฅฒ
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper to Kamala Harris:
"This has been a massive, unprecedented response. We are deeply grateful for the federal resources that we have. FEMA has been on the ground with us from the very beginning."
We see you, VP.
Jesus. FYI, If you haven't voted in the last two elections, or if you moved from one NC city to another NC city, they've purged you. MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED!
