It's going about as well as you'd expect. Currently yelling about how terribly the fake electors have been treated.

I don't know anything about tattoos.  Was that a permanent ink gun or one of those that lasts for awhile until it starts to fade/break-off and you go and get the rest (comparatively) easily removed?  Ot was fully leaded ink that would need the series of removal sessions and eventually you can still make out the image faintly in the right light until you're dead?

31% of Republicans say vaccines are more dangerous than diseases they prevent

 

Quote

Public sentiment on the importance of safe, lifesaving childhood vaccines has significantly declined in the US since the pandemic—which appears to be solely due to a nosedive in support from people who are Republican or those who lean Republican, according to new polling data from Gallup.

In 2019, 52 percent of Republican-aligned Americans said it was "extremely important" for parents to get their children vaccinated. Now, that figure is 26 percent, falling by half in just five years. In comparison, 63 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners said it was "extremely important" this year, down slightly from 67 percent in 2019.
 

 

Quote

Overall, only 40 percent of Americans now say it is extremely important for parents to vaccinate their children, down from 58 percent in 2019 and 64 percent in 2001.

More broadly, 93 percent of the Democratic group said it was "extremely" or "very" important for parents to vaccinate their children this year, while only 52 percent of the Republican group said the same.

On the other end of the spectrum, 11 percent of the Republican group said vaccinating children was "not important at all," and an additional 8 percent said it was "not very important." For the Democratic group, only 1 percent was reported in each of those categories.

 

Quote

Perhaps most concerning, the data indicated that a growing number of Americans view vaccines as more dangerous than the diseases they prevent—including polio, measles, tetanus, rotavirus, diphtheria, whooping cough, meningitis, and RSV, among others. Now, 20 percent of Americans overall think vaccines are more of a threat than the dangerous diseases they effectively prevent.

The partisan divide is most stark on this sentiment. In 2019, the two parties were about the same. Twelve percent of the Republican group and 10 percent of the Democratic group held this erroneous belief. But now, a whopping 31 percent of the Republican group say vaccines are a more significant threat than dangerous diseases, while the percentage among the Democratic group fell to 5 percent.

 

Quote

Republicans and Republican leaners are much more likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners to believe the false and debunked claim that vaccines are linked to autism—19 percent of the Republican group believe this falsehood compared to 4 percent of the Democratic group.

The polling data aligns with national vaccination trends tracked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During the pandemic, rates of routine vaccination among kindergartners slipped from the protective target of 95 percent—which prevents infectious diseases from spreading widely—to 93 percent. Additionally, nonmedical exemptions from vaccinations have reached an all-time high of 3 percent nationally. At least 10 states have exemption rates at or above 5 percent, preventing them from reaching the protective target of 95 percent vaccination coverage.

Probably could go in the 2024 election shenanigans thread too, but it's on the record now--title is link:

Arizona Republican becomes first fake elector to plead guilty for role in Trump scheme

Lorraine Pellegrino, one of 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely posed as Trump’s electors that year, accepted a guilty plea to a single charge for filing a “false instrument” — the fraudulent Electoral College certificate. The state charge was one of several she faced for allegedly joining in a conspiracy to corrupt Arizona’s election results.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes charged the 11 fake electors, as well as several top Trump allies, in a broad indictment in April. Trump himself was not charged in the Arizona case, but he was identified by a state grand jury as an unindicted coconspirator. Trump was also charged federally and in Georgia with felonies arising from his fake elector scheme and other efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory.

Pellegrino’s plea deal is the second victory in the Arizona case in as many days for Mayes, a Democrat. Another one of the 18 defendants, former Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis, began cooperating with prosecutors this week in exchange for a deal to dismiss the charges she faced. Ellis similarly cooperated with prosecutors last year in the Georgia case....

After his defeat at the polls in 2020, Trump’s lawyers hatched a plan to convene their own sets of presidential electors in some states where Biden was the certified victor. Initially, the attorneys said the so-called contingent electors were meant as placeholders in case Trump prevailed in any of his lawsuits to overturn the election results.

Trump allies, like Ellis and Rudy Giuliani, also began leaning on Republican state legislatures to certify the Trump electors in order to stoke further proceedings and legal battles. As those efforts faltered, Trump eventually eyed an even more desperate plan: Use the existence of the false slates of electors to foment a controversy on Jan. 6, 2021, the day Congress and then-Vice President Mike Pence were charged with certifying the election results.

Pence refused to accede to the plan, drawing Trump’s fury and ultimately the wrath of a pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol and derailed the electoral vote count for hours that day, threatening the transfer of power.

 

My question is this--if this former plan already exists and there are cases still being held resulting from this broken plan to defraud American voters and Democracy, how could Trump try and pull it off again?  Wouldn't it be pretty obvious to the point that everybody is looking at Trump wondering when he was going to start the proceedings to defraud the next election?  

And my second thought is--I'm glad that someone like Walz is the VP because he's ex military and maybe can deal with this crisis from the military side of things.  

Lastly, can't the judges and all the phony actors be called out in advance as in, we know what's actively in play, so we're going to need to verify everything with an independent lens or more eyes than just your political installations?  Also, we need to see the lists of people purged from voter rolls to see if the purge is by party? I mean if a polling place requires a member from both parties to oversee voting, shouldn't this also be required from purging rolls and other election activities?

God help us when anyone gets any sort of information or direction on anything from morons like this.

They played a clip of this guy Ross on Pod Save America recently, trying to read something, and dude is barely literate.

The nation’s collective yawn to this stunning piece of reporting proves that the boiling pot of water has finally killed us frogs:

 

US Intel agencies say Trump took a 10 million dollar bribe from a foreign despot and American media is getting geared up to obsess over a made up stolen valor story. Unbelievable.

Most of these predators do not know that if you travel abroad you have to be having sex with adults. The PROTECT Act was passed in 2003. It makes it a crime for a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to have sex with someone under the age of 18 in a foreign country. Does not matter what the age of consent is the country you go to.  You are American, be better.

I imagine that anyone partaking in illegal activities should know the intricacies of whatever law you’re breaking.
Regardless of nationality though, pretty sure you shouldn’t be schtooping kids.

Just sayin’
