@Barbramon1 @Beachbum @VeroniqueB99 The argument I’ve seen circulating on #FoxNews and elsewhere is “I had to show my birth certificate and piece of mail to get a real ID.” Indeed, I had to do exactly that when I moved to #Tennessee last year. It’s interesting to me that the other part of that, that the name on your birth certificate has to match your current name, is either not understood or is deliberately not made plain. I’m still optimistic that the #SaveAct won’t pass, though I know #Trump is all in for it. Guess we’ll see if a spine somehow exists in all of the mess of the GOP.

@Barbramon1 My first favorite Bobby song was Sugar Magnolia - and it’s still way up there on my list, but as I got deeper into the dead I think Estimated Prophet surpassed it.
Sugar Magnolia is still one of those songs where I will sit in the car and let it finish before exiting (Even though now it's either recorded media or streaming and it’ll pick back up when I return. Old habits)

such an amazing, inspiring body of work
🎶 How Is It We Are Here… 1970
Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground
Stealing rare minerals where they can be found
Concrete caves with iron doors bury it again
While a starving, frightened world fills the sea with grain
Her love is like a fire burning inside
Her love is so much higher, it can't be denied
She sends us her glory
It's always been there
Her love's all around us
It's there for you and me to share… -
@Barbramon1 @ned not only that, there was a staggering amount of fraud with the #PPP loan program, much of it originating from a tiny handful of community banks that also happened to be incredibly crypto friendly...
The best estimates I've seen are that 10-20% of the PPP loans were outright fraud and 8-14% of all covid relief money ended up in the cryptocurrency market. That's hundreds of billions of dollars (at a minimum).

@Barbramon1 The Orthodox festival is apparently also celebrated by Russian Orthodoxy whose #Patriarch
Kirill apparently has invalidated his holy responsibility and commitment to God to love neighbors as himself—all people everywhere. 😢 -
@Barbramon1 @Ulrich_the_Elder @liroso Exactly what I'm thinking of.
People will enjoy more protection, when public offices are protected against foreseeable abuse of power by candidates of whatever party, who lack the responsibility, sense of duty to serve, social awareness & a moral/ ethical compass to correctly distinguish between right & wrong.
In short: Make sure to keep inevitably destructive sociopaths away from public offices.

I blame President Felon for 90% of how awful everything in the USA has become due to covid. But Biden gets 10% of my ire for declaring the pandemic "over" and not doubling down on all possible safety measures.
Eggs and chicken are going to go astronomical before bird flu is over. And bird flu won't be over anytime soon, thanks to every troublesome sockbag who helped get the Felon back into the White House.
