I did not give up my US citizenship rights when I moved to California. Nor my voting rights. I DEMAND that the Federal government protect my right to vote for Spencer Pratt. Not years from now. But today. Send in Federal marshals to count the votes.
@Truegreta@StaceyM91582 Goddamn you are stupid. They literally talk about the dark polyurea purposely selected to reflect. 🤡🤡🤡 You won’t apologize for your stupidity though. You’ll no doubt just double down.
@Americanaheim@HolmesJosh Dude, a bunch of players have complained about road games in California, New York, etc. because they have to pay taxes on their earnings in those states.
@RonDeSantis I dropped my ballot on May 13 in a West LA drop box. Tracked it. Got confirmation of receipt on May 15th. It STILL HAS NOT BEEN COUNTED.
The official LA registrar spin to the local news is that these "are all late/day of ballots." THIS IS A LIE!
I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.
As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.
But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.
After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?
Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?
Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).
Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?
The editors said it was too much, they explained.
The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.
It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.
And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.
Still fawning after all these years.
@gregmclnk@CaryKelly11 My stepfather owned a private garbage route that I worked from age 10 to 17. At Christmas, fully 50% of homes left gifts or money. It was a fun time.
@KellyMcDon39734@DanielW_X It looks EXACTLY like the pictures they've been posting for a month. It's a project...projects take time.
Liberals be like "Why did he make it so narrow, it was wider before...OMGGGGG!!"
