From Alternet: Dozens of Florida voters and others residing in heavily-Democratic counties across several states have received threatening emails warning them to vote for President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election or suffer consequences.
Ahead of early voting, Democratic voters in Alachua County, Fla., began receiving the disturbing emails. Voters in Alaska and Arizona also reported receiving the same message.
The subject line for the email reads: “Vote for Trump or else!”
Targeting voters registered as Democrats, the email message opens with a disturbing statement telling potential voters all of their personal information has been exposed as the sender claims to have infiltrated the “entire voting infrastructure.”
The sender also warned Democrats to vote for Trump or they would “come after” them. Voters are also being told to change their political party affiliation so it can serve as confirmation of agreement to the terms of the threat.
“We are in possession of all your information (email, address, telephone… everything),” the message stated. “You are currently registered as a Democrat and we know this because we have gained access into the entire voting infrastructure. You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply. We will know which candidate you voted for. I would take this seriously if I were you.”
Here is a perfect example of international cooperation, Republican Style. White House staffers prepare the threats, the Republican Party provides the email list, and the SVR (current name of KGB) provide the servers, and all join forces to blackmail voters with fraudulent claims. RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): He oversaw the bin Laden raid. See what he says about Trump
He is so conservative that I’m sure I would disagree him most of the time on policy issues. However, I could and would negotiate with him in good faith. A very few conservatives are people of honor and may be trusted to act that way. However, the Republican Party works on bad faith only! RESIST!!

It’s a hectic week, here in the CatBox. Today, I want to get as much rest as I can. Tomorrow, WWWendy works at both her day and night job, and Dianna, my home palliative care nurse is on vacation, so Anne, my alternate home palliative care nurse is coming to change my patch. Thursday morning, WWWendy is coming a day late to destink the raunchy TomCat, help with chores, and semi-goop. It’s also grocery delivery day from Store to Door. First thing Friday morning, WWWendy is taking me to the hospital for a CAT Scan, and we’ll pick up a pizza on the Way home. Saturday morning is my regular WWWendy Day, and Tuesday morning WWWendy is taking me for my next infusion or for Evelyn to tell me they aren’t helping (the news we DON’T want). In any case, color me intermittent at best for a week. Is that hectic enough? It’s Tuesday so Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom to flush your Republicans!

Short Takes:
From SCOTUS Blog: A deadlocked Supreme Court on Monday let stand a lower-court ruling that requires Pennsylvania election officials to count absentee ballots received within three days after Election Day, Nov. 3, even if they are not postmarked. In two brief orders issued shortly after 7 p.m., the justices denied, without explanation, a request by Republicans to put the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling on hold. Four justices – Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – indicated that they would have granted the Republicans’ request.
The order came in a lawsuit filed by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party that challenged various aspects of the state’s absentee-ballot system in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, citing a voting-rights provision of the state’s constitution, ordered several modifications to voting rules, including extending the deadline by which mail-in ballots must be received in order for them to be counted. Previously, that deadline was Election Day, but the state court ruled that ballots should be counted if they are received up to three days after Election Day unless a “preponderance of the evidence” shows that a ballot was mailed after Election Day. That means that ballots lacking clear postmarks may be counted if received by Nov. 6. [emphasis added]
If Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch had already confirmed Amy Coney Bullshit, some PA voters would have lost their right to vote, because Trump* delayed the delivery of those votes by postal sabotage. How many of our rights will we lose when 5 Republican Injustices always vote with SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional venereal disease)? We now have 4 always SCROTUS, 1 usually SCROTUS, 1 moderate, 2 center-left, and Bullshit SCROTUS on-deck. RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): Ex-GOP strategist on Trump’s GOP: ‘Burn it down and start over’
Cornhole Cornyn is just trying to duck his fair share of blame for all the Republican policies that he espoused long before Trump*, and that both he and Trump* supported. I half-disagree with Stevens. By all means, burn down the Republican Reich. But why start over? Burn it down, and leave it that way! Build an entirely new party to the left of today’s Democrats, but as long as the Republican Reich exists, the Democrats are the ONLY sane choice! RESIST!!

It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. Yesterday we made a few new things to eat. For lunch, I had BBQ chicken wings and rice. That was spectacular! For supper I had Campbell’s chunky soup. For breakfast I has Cream of Wheat. Yesterday I also did the most important thing I shall do in what’s left of my life. I voted Blue no matter who top to bottom!! I did manage a badly needed nap this morning. Oh God, it’s Monday!

From NY Times: It is a phrase that has been constantly invoked by Democratic and Republican leaders. It has become the clearest symbol of the mood of the country, and what people feel is at stake in November. Everyone, it seems, is fighting for it.
“This campaign isn’t just about winning votes. It’s about winning the heart and, yes, the soul of America,”
The Times is just a bit off. Democrats want America’s souls. Republicans want America’s assholes. RESIST!!
