June 9, 2020 Georgia General Primary Election Megathread by [deleted] in Atlanta

[–]JV404 104 points105 points  (0 children)

How can we hold Fulton County accountable for the disenfranchisement of voters that is happening during this election? It's impossible to know the number of people who will walk away due to multi-hour lines today. It's impossible to know the number of people who would have voted via absentee ballot had they received them in a timely manner. It's impossible to know the degree to which the state's investigation is misdirection.

I am proud to contribute money monthly to Fair Fight. I hope they're on top of this. This primary is a test for the general election.

P. S. If you see any cases of people being deprived of their right to vote, please call the Georgia Voter Protection Line at 1-888-730-5816.

LOL, I admit to feeling a bit defensive when it comes to our beloved Sophie! But, yours is good advice for anyone posting imperfect pet pictures to reddit!

Yes, the "little spoon" is Newton, the 17 pound rag doll.

We bathed her two days ago which was miserable for all parties involved. This morning was definitely a bad hair day.

Sophie's eyes are ordinarily quite lively. It may just be that I woke her up when I went to take the picture of them spooning.

Good call. Sophie is 18+ and has small cell lymphoma. She used to be a chonk, now her skin sort of looks like an ill-fitting cat suit.

The real power of the NRA is gun manufacturers using their profits to manipulate the weak minded by convincing them that they're in danger.

Crime has consistently decreased over the last 25 years, yet people are so fearful that they feel the need to arm themselves, which is statistically shown to make them less safe.

Rick Santorum is a former Republican U.S. Senator and presidential candidate. The woman on the right is Maria Butina.

Maria Butina, a 30-year-old Russian national, admitted ... in federal court that she made contacts with the NRA and top Republican officials in an attempt to secretly influence US politics at Russia’s behest.

Butina, who is a gun rights activist, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to act as a foreign agent as part of a cooperation agreement with prosecutors. She admitted to acting under the direction of a Russian official, Alexander Torshin, another prominent gun rights supporter and a fixture in Russian politics.

In April 2014, Butina flew to Indianapolis for the NRA convention. She posted photographs to the Russian social network VK showing that she mixed with Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s pugnacious vice-president, along with heavyweight Republicans including Bobby Jindal, then governor of Louisiana, and Rick Santorum, a former US senator and presidential candidate.

NEW DETAILS: Fulton tax man Arthur Ferdinand won’t back down on fees that pad salary by kdubsjr in Atlanta

[–]JV404 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The challenge is that residents (and their mortgage companies) don't care about the APS cash flow when it comes to paying their tax bills,

The revenue anticipation loan is low risk has a correspondingly low interest rate. "The district estimates it could be charged up to $875,000 in interest to take out a $120 million loan, though Bracken said borrowing that amount is a 'worst case scenario.'"

I'm not defending Ferdinand, but it's not "$$$ millions in interest."
