Fun in central Illinois (dirty tricks)

Brother in law reports that he and his wife each got 2 texts from the Trump campaign directing them to the wrong polling location on the opposite side of town. He checked with his neighbor (rethug), and he got no such text...

Hmmm....

OMG, we have been scammed

I listen to progressive radio and MSNBC in my car via Tune-in. Unfortunately, Tune-in plays it's own ads during commercial breaks.

Through these ads, a company called Goldco has informed me through their esteemed spokesman that Joe Biden has rigged the government and is ready to seize your retirement assets, savings and hike your income tax to 75%. I was shaken by this news, but if you can't believe Mike Lindell, who can you believe?



Seriously, is there any alternative to Tune-in that works with android auto so I don't have to deal with that crap? I may end up springing for sirus xm....

Can someone help me understand

Had a run it with the town magat today.

I have a friend who owns a landscaping business. His company was doing work down the street so I wandered down to talk to my buddy. It's a landscaping business and most of his employees are immigrants. He does verify they are here legally and part of their employment is working on becoming a citizen. He pays good wages with some benefits (not as good as he would like), but he is doing the best he can for his workers.

We are talking and up rolls the town magat. He walks up to us and starts bitching about immigrants taking all of our jobs. My friend asks him if he has a job now, he replies with "no, an immigrant took it from me." I asked him where he used to work and he wouldn't say, so he's just blowing smoke.

My friends tells him he can apply at his business and tells him about the work and pay. Work starts at 6am and goes to sunset in the summer. Anything over 40 hours is OT a time and a half. Six day a week in summer, and the work is hard.
Magat says no way he would do that, it is beneath him.

My friend says " so the immigrants are not taking your jobs, are they?" Magat gets pissed and calls us stupid and uneducated (Hmmm, my PhD in computer science must be worthless), tells us to FO and leaves.

Why is it when you corner a conservative in a discussion they resort to personal insults? I've experienced it so many times...

Saw this today, but it won't help

Saw a sign today, it said

Medical workers and first responders have given up many holidays to keep you safe.
Could you give up a couple to keep them safe?

Great thought, but too many selfish people out there.

Anyone else having Covid themed dreams?

I've had several in the past couple of weeks. The main one is I'm in a store somewhere and don't have a mask on and I'm panicking trying to find one. Almost like the dream where you are at work in your PJs or underwear.

Must be the stress of all this.
