    "As everyone knows, I had a real battle with mental health ... by the grace of God, I've overcome it."

    Truer words were never spoken.

    A federal judge in Washington, DC, ruled Thursday that changes Postmaster General Louis DeJoy made to the US Postal Service before the 2020 election hurt mail delivery, and has put in place orders to prevent DeJoy from doing the same again

    While a good start, it would be better if he were gone by the time of the next Presidential election. But hopefully this helps the midterms.

    Fuck's sake.

    They keep doing this as well! The House GOP's recent promo vid used stock footage from Russia and Ukraine. And I saw something the other day where a politico used an image of the Moskva on a poster proclaiming they were gonna blow opponents out of the water.

    So, you might be thinking we reached the bottom of the Walker barrel.

    At the dawn of the 21st Century, a buddy of mine was a graphic designer for a print shop. One of the things that he'd do, just to fuck with people, is to round up images to use in things just to fuck with people. For example, he had to create a menu for a BBQ joint, and so he spent a lot of time trying to find a really cute image of a pig holding a sign. He photoshopped the words "Eat Me" onto that sign. The customer loved it.

    Or maybe someone did. The dog whistles now are the sound of the train whistle boarding to Treblinka.

    Only in the age of QAnon and Trump would "guy shuts down his campaign more than two months after getting 3% of the vote and finishing in seventh place" be considered newsworthy.

    Walker failed to show up to the debate tonight. So it's Warnock and the Libertarian candidate debating. Probably more likely to pull votes from Walker to the Libertarian than hurt Warnock.

    This is an extremely biased source and his DUI was 20 years ago.

    Here's the thing about DUI's, a lot of people drink and drive. A lot of people that drink and drive don't get caught. A lot of the people that drink and drive and don't get caught like to be condescending self righteous pricks to the people who did, forever. The .08 limit to some people is literally two beers or one glass of wine so anyone can get a DUI just from one drink. Think about that. DUI checkpoints are unconstitutional. I don't care what SCOTUS has said. They are used as an extremely loose excuse to search people without the need for a warrant. It affects everyone, even if you never drink and drive your whole entire life.

    For those that want to talk about getting caught up in the system, this is how. In the state of Virginia if you get a first offense DUI, your license is revoked for a mandatory one year and you are forced to attend an alchohol education class. But wait, there's more. You also have to have an interlock system in your vehicle which means you have to blow into a breathalyzer test in order to start your car. You have to blow zero in order to do this. If you drink the night before, you better time your shit out if you have to work the next day.

    Things that will set off the breathalyzer are not limited to just alchohol. Here's some things that will set it off; pickles, chewing gum, mouth wash, vinegar on your breath, certain types of tooth paste, certain types of cigarettes...etc. If you do not blow zero, you will get in trouble. They do not care about what set it off, they will punish you no matter what. What that punishment is depends on the courts. So even if you're doing everything by the book and you're on your last day of having the interlock system in your car and you brush your teeth before going somewhere and you set off the breathalyzer, you could end up being fined and starting your time all over again. By the way, you can't cheat, they put cameras in your car.

    This doesn't even get into the money making scheme involved with the interlock.

    Here's another example of getting caught up in the system. If you get a DUI first offense in the state of Virginia, you also have to have high deductible insurance for your car. You have to have it for three years. If there is a lapse in coverage for any reason, you have to start all over again, no excuses or exceptions allowed. This happened to me. I made a payment on my insurance a week ahead of time of the due date for renewal on the last week of having this required insurance. Guess what? My bank fucked something up and there was a lapse in payment on a Saturday or a Sunday. Banks are closed on those days so trying to call them to get them to fix it is pointless. I lapsed for two days and had to start all over again. I was stuck with that insurance for six years through no fault of my own.

    You can say it's anecdotal all you want, it's true, all of it and it applies to everyone, no exceptions.

    If you think DUI laws are fair or "you get what you deserve", you're sorely mistaken. This doesn't even scratch the surface of other shenanigans courts, cops, probation officers and DA's use to convict people for DUI's.

    But I'm not allowed an opinion on this because I've been convicted of a DUI.
