Republicans take a hammer to postal service to suppress mail-in votes

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

That's probably fair. :) But Fox News isn't alone in that regard.

Oh this will be good. What do your sources have today.
Yesterday afternoon a colleague forwarded me an article from the Daily Mail, asking me if it could possibly be true.
The first fucking line Darth, the first fucking line. Where do you find this shit? I'm honestly amazed at the article. It just babbles on and on without addressing whether or not Snopes is publishing any inaccuracies. In fact it goes the entire length without actually fact checking any Snopes articles to see how accurate they are (the ultimate test, after all) and concludes with this:
Putting this all together, we simply don’t know if the Daily Mail story is completely false, completely true or somewhere in the middle.
What a thing.

So someone mentions bias, and this isn't suggestion of bias? GreyICE, GreyICE, GreyICE.

Sorry for the paywall.

And for what it's worth, Fauci said that voting in person should be just fine.

But if you're Sabrina Belcher I guess you might get kidnapped on the way to the polling station. If someone has a crane handy. :lol: :lol:
