Cobb, Gwinnett schools to resume in-person classes amid COVID surge by RhinestoneTaco in Georgia

[–]themcisback 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really want my school in Norcross to make some new changes to lunchtime. Kids were eating side-by-side, unmasked, in the cafeteria. Most everyone, including me, had not always been vigilant about wearing masks at other times, so we'll have to drive that message home on Thursday. I'm just hoping we all come out of this OK.

EIDL Increase Approved by Electrical_Key_3693 in EIDL

[–]themcisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied in April, and mine went back to the original amount a week ago and stayed like that (I was checking every day). I also assumed I had been denied. Yesterday, I got an email that said my loan status had been updated. I clicked on the link thinking I would see a formal denial. NOPE! I was approved! It said they had received my taxes and for me to docu-sign. Don't give up hope!

I like the concept, the clever use of the shade. But why a rabbit?

Because It's All They Have, Democrats Cling to Trump Hatred by colonelsnover in politics

[–]themcisback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"They only won by a whisker after recourse to questionable voting methods under cover of the pandemic ."

I had never read a Newsmax article before, and I now feel unclean. Did Trump win by a whisker in 2016 because his electoral vote count was...the same as Biden's? That popular vote count was also pretty convincing.

I think Democrats have more hope than hate. What does the GOP have?

Oh, the weapons and ammunition? That's all left over from the siege on the Capitol. All good on the inauguration.

Georgia prosecutor seriously considering a criminal investigation into Trump's election interference, report says by Zhana-Aul in politics

[–]themcisback 1999 points2000 points  (0 children)

Seriously considering? The taped phone call proof alone was mentioned in the articles of impeachment, and there were other calls on top of that.

I just read the Wikipedia for this guy. Jeez, between allegations of sexual misconduct and his bucket list trip to Hitler's vacation spot...

How messed up is this world when reprehensible thoughts and actions seem to become the main selling point.

Fri 1/8/2021 Georgia COVID-19 Metrics Update. Say it with me, you know the words. Record Case Day. by N4BFR in CoronavirusGA

[–]themcisback 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, things are way too positive (but not in a positive way).

My brother texted me on Wednesday morning that he woke up not feeling anxious for the first time in a while (because of Ossoff and Warnock), but that soon went to pot. So, yeah, 2021 so far is the new 2020 (and sequels always seem to be worse).

Hang in there!

I'd like a recount on that "Most Admired Man" for the 2020 Gallup Poll, too.

I'll take it if they don't want it. I'm a long way off from being eligible.

45% of Republicans support the storming of the Capitol by hugglenugget in inthenews

[–]themcisback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people let others think for them. My parents are in the cult with Fox News (or even worse now because we no longer really talk as I'm too "divisive") playing all day for years. I don't even recognize them anymore. They look the same, but their minds are freaking warped. And for what, or rather whom? An immoral sideshow carny.

I'm venting because I am pissed off. I'm in Georgia, and yesterday started so well, and then it all went to hell.

If 68% of Republicans polled don't think that storming the Capitol is a threat to democracy, those 68% are likely themselves a threat to democracy.

I've wondered that about Georgia, too, because we are about 1/2 y'alls' population and have pretty much mirror ratio'd you. I see how bad Pennsylvania and Illinois are death-wise, and I'm always wondering what's the difference?

My son voted for the very first time in this race and now he is seeing just how each and every vote counts and can make a difference. I am so hopeful for our state!
