Update from my county Democratic HQ

I’ve posted here before that I volunteer in my very red county’s HQ on Sundays. We were super busy again yesterday, people coming in and buying multiple Biden and BLM signs. We are ordering 250 Biden signs at a time and selling out within a couple of days. I worked in the same office during the 2016 Pres. election. It was nothing like it is now. There’s a lot of passion and involvement in this upcoming election. It’s so exciting to be a part of this!

big orange turd. He really knows how to light fires under people. Unfortunately (for him!) not to his advantage. Keep up the good work.

that Kimberly-Clark, manufacturer of Depends Adult Diapers, are planning on cranking up production for the three weeks before the November election, due to a huge anticipated increase in demand.

Senior citizens of all states have vowed they will do whatever is necessary to make sure they can endure the long voting lines, and VOTE DONALD TRUMP OUT!

Kimblerly-Clark is also expected to roll out their new line of knee pads specifically made for crawling over broken glass, rumored as another attempt at preventing senior citizens from voting against Donald Trump.

This has NOT been confirmed, but SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS....

Seniors are still paying attention, and taking the whole pandemic-quarantine event seriously. Whether or not they need diapers is another question. I know a lot of senior citizens and very few wear them. (Maybe this is a special case though.)

So I can definitely relate. So far I haven't needed any....... yet.....

But if the lines are so long, and the wait so long, EVERYONE may need to grab a pair, just in case...



You have to be prepared.

It reminds me of when I was in the 6th grade. Kids would use their forks to catapult the little green peas that was part of the meal, onto the ceiling of the lunchroom. One day I, who was a MODEL son and student, did just that. Christine, (the bitch) told on me, tattling to Mrs. Smith, our teacher.

I was sent to the principal's office to get a paddling, because that was the punishment. I obediently went to take my medicine and sat in the waiting room, waiting for him to call me. He finally came out and said he was too busy, he would call me back the next day.

Temporarily relieved, I went home.

But the next day I was prepared. I was wearing 6 pair of underwear.

But he never called me back in...

is how many are registering to VOTE! True, it's likely that people who are getting campaign signs are engaged enough to vote, so I hope that's the indicator of what's coming out in November.

voter registration is current (we give them the website), and we have forms for voting by mail that we give them if they need them. We’re on it!
