If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime, or decline in LA again. Get off your butt and VOTE, or enjoy what you get.
I try not to contradict Nate very often but there’s a perfectly valid reason why it takes so long to count votes in California. Here is a typical timeline:
Election Day: everyone votes
Week 1: mail in ballots, absentee ballots, military ballots, overseas ballots, ballots accidentally issued to people’s pets, and ballots harvested from Skid Row start trickling in.
Week 2: As the ballots pile up, Officials consider appointing a Committee to Count Ballots.
Week 3: Committee to Count Ballots is appointed and commences discussion on electing a chairman.
Week 4: deadline for ballots from illegal immigrants.
Week 5: Committee decides that “chairman” is an outdated term and will be replaced by a term to be decided later once the Committee to Count Ballots Diversity Consultants finishes their report.
Week 6: fraudulent ballots from the Chinese Communist Party arrive.
Week 7: The Committee elects as Chairzerxon a nonbinary disabled child to count the ballots.
Week 8: it is discovered that the Chairzerxon does not actually know how to count.
Week 9: the ballots are thrown away and the Committee announces election results that are entirely made up.
This summer's AC wars have taught us that Europe:
1. Believes insulation only works for winter
2. Has no concept of thermal mass
3. Believes air conditioning and fans will make them sick
4. Doesn't own power tools
5. Thinks it's ok for grown men to complain for "small talk"
@markpoloncarz Teddy Roosevelt regularly staged boxing matches in the White House. He lost sight in one eye from a detached retina because he himself was fighting at the White House in one of these matches.
And the Founding Fathers regularly dueled with pistols, one of them died doing so.
Here’s the story you might have heard: In 2020, “journalist” David Leavitt found a $90 Oral B electric toothbrush hanging on a display peg with a $0.01 price tag on it.
He told the store manager she had to honor the price under Massachusetts law. When she refused, he took a picture of her and posted it to his 300,000 followers and called the cops.
The Internet did not take his side, and the incident ended with a ratio for the ages and a GoFundMe campaign to send the store manager on a vacation.
What you might not know about is all the other stuff this guy has done over the years. This is the story of the worst account on Twitter.
