  1. Kuni's - The best sushi I've had anywhere in the country Cantina Loco - Mexican (New-American flair) with the best from scratch margaritas. The spicy one is the best I've had Desi's (On Clinton) - Get the Godfather sub or the bonanza and die happy. They also have my all-time favorite calzones Dollar Pho - Top tier vietnamese - the bahn mi and pho are excellent Nick's Place - The best greasy spoon breakfast you'll ever find. Mulberry - Great Italian
  2. It's ok to see a correlation there, but I don't think it's Fromm's responsibility to do so. I say this as someone who's extremely opposed to what he said. The reporter needs to ask a better and more direct question, not try to connect dots.
  3. Fromm said some very concrete and problematic things to start all of this, so a little bit of follow up has to be expected. With respect to a vague question about his thoughts on "what the country is going through", he's completely within his rights to say that he doesn't want to broadcast his political opinions. That's fine, and honestly it's a stupid question for the reporter to ask unsolicited. It appears the motivation here is to see whether Fromm has changed his perspective or whether he just regrets having his feeling be made public. Too much of a leap for the reporter here, though. He should have just come straight to the point about what steps Fromm's taken and challenged that directly if there was an issue.
  4. I mean, you can just send them a link to a livestream of the game and ask what they can do for you
  5. As much as I like Tre, in a heartbeat - yes I would. Tre White is probably going to command a $20M + deal. Like other deals that big, Dareus, Mack, Donald it's almost impossible to ever get them to ever live up to the expectations of the deal. No player, even a great one, is going to be there for you play after play year after year. The opportunity cost you give up by having cap hits like that on your roster just kills your flexibility. You need to get super lucky with all-pro talent on super cheap deals in order to sustain any kind of success. If we can get two firsts and a starting caliber CB from a team that isn't certain to be good, I would do it.
  6. When AG goes after corrupt NPO's, you call for them to look into Trump's scandals. When they look into Trump's scandals, you call it a deep state conspiracy.
  7. It definitely is. Planned Parenthood delivers vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide. Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit under EIN 13-1644147. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable under the law. https://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are When am I not around here? I'm a former member.
  8. The NRA has nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. They're just a corrupt non-profit like the Trump Foundation.
  9. The amount of projection going on in this post is staggering.
  10. If you don't understand the difference in being registered to vote, and actually voting, I can't help you. Like the sources I provide show, voter fraud statistically insignificant, and neither source you provided refutes that or even try to. Considering they're both fact-light extreme-right sources, i expected a better attempt.
  11. It's not much of a joke when you and your audience need to believe in the same thing that doesn't exist in order to understand it. This is one of many reasons that the right can't meme.
  12. Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.
  13. Come on. This is just getting stupid. I don't have a problem with voter ID. I'm not sure how far we need to go in creating new ones however. We all have SS numbers and many of us have Drivers licenses/military ID/ state ID. Votes are supressed in a lot of other ways though, like dumping voting rolls and closing polling locations not to even speak of things like gerrymandering.
  14. keep living down to my expectations.
  15. Yet, even they had a first time. Look, states already do absentee ballots. This is really just an extension of that process. The fact that states are going to have figure out processes for COVID, should really offset most added effort. We need to stop acting like moving from an 18th century solution to a 19th century solution is impossible in the 21rst century. Pandemic aside, I don't want to go stand in line for 3+ hours again. Hell, I don't even want to have to go to a mailbox or buy a stamp. I would vastly prefer an app, but I know that it would be absolutely impossible to convince people that is completely secure, who already think voter fraud is rampant. I'll settle for the mail option for now.
  16. Never understood the mania for Chick-fil-a. They were big in florida when I lived there, but I most thought they tasted like microwaved chicken patties. Bland chicken, soggy buns. I just don't get it. I would far prefer Wendy's or even McDonalds crispy chicken sandwich to theirs. Never got to try the Popeye's sandwich, but their regular chicken is great.
  17. I'm not intricately familiar with his play but he seemed to be damn good whenever I saw him play for the titans and he played outside in base formations.
  18. Yet Oregon has done it for decades without issue. You get social security, passports, banking information, drivers licenses, taxes, and absentee ballots by mail, but somehow general ballots are just a bridge too far for people to wrap their heads around. It's gotta be fraud, man - orange man said it. ------------------------------------- Identity verification: The principal method used to detect and prevent fraud is the mail ballot envelope itself, where each voter must include personal identifying information (such as address, birthday, and driver’s license number or last four digits of a Social Security number). In most states, that information includes a signature that can be used to match against the voter rolls. The voter’s remaining personal information is also matched against the information stored on the voter rolls. As Kim Wyman, Washington’s Republican secretary of state, explained, “we actually compare every single signature of every single ballot that comes in and we compare it and make sure that it matches the one on their voter registration record.” This is a long-standing and well-established practice to ensure that the ballot received was indeed cast by the correct voter. It’s important to note though that there are best and worst practices with signature matching. When done incorrectly, it can disenfranchise eligible voters. Done correctly — with signature matching software, bipartisan review by officials trained in signature verification, and outreach to flagged voters — it is an effective deterrent for fraud. Bar codes: Most election jurisdictions now use some form of bar code on their ballot envelopes. These bar codes allow election officials to keep track of ballot processing and help voters know whether their ballot has been received. Bar codes also allow states to identify and eliminate duplicate ballots if a voter casts more than one, whether mistakenly or corruptly. Ballot tracking through the U.S. Postal Service: In many jurisdictions, including California, Colorado and Florida, ballot envelopes are equipped with intelligent mail bar codes linked to the postal service that enable voters and election officials alike to track an envelope from drop-off to delivery and processing at the local administrator’s office. Denver’s elections division reported that 17,931 people used its system to track the status of their ballots during the November 2013 election. While relatively new, these ballot tracking systems are now readily available and are easily operable at scale. This way, if a voter says they never received their ballot, states can better determine whether the ballot was delivered, replace the ballot as appropriate, and ensure the original is flagged as compromised and not counted. Secure drop-off locations and drop boxes: Multiple ballot return options limit the opportunity for ballot tampering by fostering voter independence in returning a ballot. A common layer of security to ensure that ballots are not stolen or tampered with — at least for voters who can leave their homes — is secure drop-off locations. In places where all or most voters receive ballots by mail, many voters do not mail completed ballots; rather, they opt to drop their ballots off at secure polling sites. According to the Survey of the Performance of American Elections at Harvard University in 2016, 73 percent of voters in Colorado, 59 percent in Oregon, and 65 percent in Washington returned their ballots to some physical location, such as a drop box or local election office. Ballot drop-off locations help maintain a secure chain of custody as the ballot goes from the voter to the local election office. And when drop boxes are put outside of government offices, one security measure is to equip them with security cameras to monitor ballot traffic and ensure that the boxes are not breached. (Drop boxes in government buildings benefit from existing video security systems.) In addition to preventing fraud, secure drop-off locations enable voters to be confident that their ballots will be received on time. Harsh penalties: Anyone who commits voter fraud using a mail ballot risks severe criminal and civil penalties: up to five years in prison and $10,000 in fines for each act of fraud under federal law, in addition to any state penalties. In Oregon, for example, voting with or signing another person’s ballot is a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison. These penalties provide a strong deterrent to voter fraud; it makes no sense to risk such significant punishment for one additional vote. Postelection audits: In 2018, a review of returned absentee ballot records helped identify anomalies in the election results of Bladen County, North Carolina, enabling election officials to uncover election interference by a political operative who stole and tampered with mail ballots. Postelection audits, which many jurisdictions are starting to adopt, would more systematically enable election officials to identify any irregularities or misconduct in the vote. Audits typically use statistical techniques to review a sample of ballots cast in an election to ensure that votes were recorded and tallied accurately. Since audits can only be meaningfully carried out when there is a voter-verified paper record of each vote, mail ballots (which are paper-based), are conducive to effective audits. Postelection audits are already widely used in states that use mail voting and are a best security practice for all elections regardless.
  19. Fake news. https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/campaign/126789-the-truth-about-the-2008-minnesota-senate-recount-a-response-to-democratic-party-still-disenfranchising-and-oppresing-votes
  20. Yes "really". I already looked into all accusations of fraud and found it's statistically insignificant. The burden of truth lies on the accuser. It's not my job to prove that something doesn't exist. Even the most biased of right wrong sources can't prove fraud above a statistically insignificant level. Given how you lot like to frame arguments, I don't expect you to come up with much more than a tweet or a talking head in response.
  21. I have data, you have gifs. Keep on living down to my expectations.
