Sat Oct 10, 2020, 07:52 AM Oct 2020

This is the sign that my MAGAt neighbor complained to the cops about...

...even though I have the EXACT same sign on the back of the property. She took pictures and called the deputy to complain about the size, apparently. He asked if I would take it don to keep peace and I told him that come Nov. 4 It will be gone.

No matter how little sense that makes. Common sense is not their strong suit.
Oh, I'd relish if DT took a turn for the worse and was intubated in an ICU through the elections... I'd reconsider my atheism.
But I'd much rather see him suffer defeat at the polls, lose great amounts of his personal fortune in upcoming lawsuits and court cases, withering away in obscure, weakened state angrily tweeting increasingly idiotic shit until even many of the MAGAt's perceive his dementia...
And watch the country continue to elect common sense Democrats for the rest of their miserable lives.

Always has been , hates dogs and cats. Refuses to go along with anybody's ideas, is basically just a bitter old MAGAt bitch. I put this same sign on the back of the property to give the local rednecks a shot at class when they drove by, it's roughly 2000 cars a day. Not one complaint, and the other BIDEN supporter on the street had emailed me about this old hump crying about that sign, and how disrespectful it was to old fatass Donny, so, of course I got one that she has to look at every fucking day until the election.


So, she called the County and the deputy that came 2 weeks ago responded again, and said that maybe I should take it down to keep the peace, and I TOLD him in no uncertain terms that come November 4, I will comply. But, it will probably actually be around the 10th, I'm old, but VERY busy. BTW: Her ex-husband gave me a bible about 10 years ago with all the 'terrible himo' stuff highlighted, since I had a couple gay friends here for supper and apparently they did not like that. Apparently, since I have gay friends, and they are aware of it, I'm on a rocket sled to hell.

As an adult I've never lived in such a place.

The cops around here don't come when called unless someone is dead, bleeding, or on fire.

Our police department is chronically understaffed and overworked. If someone throws a rock through your kitchen window, steals your Christmas decorations, or graffitis your car (things that have happened to me), they'll ask you to file a report on their web site or in person at the police station.

Visiting the police station is a trip. The clerks are all behind bullet proof glass and you wait for them to call your number. Before covid you shared benches with all sorts of interesting people while waiting but now everyone just mills about outside, keeping their six foot distance.

Good afternoon DU,


First time here , my name is Lounah , I choose Alice Garoute as a username because she's our Susan B Anthony , a Haitian Suffragist , and advocate for women's right .

I have been browsing since 2003 , I laughed , cried with you , but was affraid to post anything , because I was not a US citizen yet . Im Afro Carribean from Haiti and waited patiently 30 years to become a US Citizen, this year on September 14th , same week The Notorious RGB passed . I register the same day , and my first vote will be against Orange Cheeto (I never say his name ) . I came in this country as an undocumented teenager , I know more about the US then Haiti , you can imagine all the sleepless nights thinking you might be deported , had to keep my me too story to myself , but you keep pushing and stay out of trouble .

I live in Central Florida and have been married for 17years , with two kids and a husky . My Daughter just started college , my Son a middle schooler and my precious Shadow . I worked in the medical field and yes Covid19 is not a hoax . For years I have helped my community register to vote , make sure they get to the polls for Presidential , Congress , Governor and Local Election (For God Sake Democrats, Vote in Congressional Election too = we get to pick Justices ) , this year my daughter just turn 18 , so we get to accompany my husband and vote too .

Im scare of what might happened if we don't vote early , and it's a close election . I do believe the US Constitution will stands
no matter what Orange Cheeto wanna be Dictator and his enablers think ...they expect a bloodbath , so let's vote in mass.
