Yup. Let's turn into Europe. Home of regular work shutdowns, crippling economic collapses and FIATs.a fan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 21, 2020 4:34 pmYes. They want the same bennies you get in Europe, Kram.

I think you may be on to something. They are even saying it out loud. The left is no longer hiding their agenda.

What is YOUR TEAM offering all those TrumpFans who didn't study hard in High School? Coal? Every man for himself, and F you if you didn't finish in the top 5% of your HS class?
Seriously. What is your team offering, besides trillions more in handouts and borrowed money?
It was a looong time ago and nevertheless I would not ride a bike on Rt. 1/9 /27 or the GSP or The NJTPKE.

Love how people DRIVE their cars to city grocery stores, come out with ONE bag, half filled, (just grabbing dinner) and then DRIVE. Don't people know how to ride bikes?
I care about the environment.......I ride a bike.
It's illegal to ride a bike on most major highways. ILLEGAL. yet.......we BELIEVE in climate changeTypical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 8:41 amIt was a looong time ago and nevertheless I would not ride a bike on Rt. 1/9 /27 or the GSP or The NJTPKE.

Why aren't cars illegal in southern California?
can a case like this get heard in a week @ scotus?njbill wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 12:03 am Article today in the Inquirer that talks appeared to have stalled between Governor Wolf and the state legislature, controlled by Republicans, over a deal to allow early processing of mail in ballots.
Wolf’s proposal is that processing be allowed to begin three weeks before the election. The legislative proposal is three days before, but it is coupled with a provision to ban drop boxes. Wolf will not agree to that so currently the issue of early counting is at an impasse.
If an agreement cannot be reached, then the current rule will apply, which does not permit processing to begin until 7 AM on election day. If that is the case, the final Pennsylvania results probably won’t be known for at least several days after election day.
In addition, there are currently two cases in the courts. One was decided by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court last week. An appeal to the US Supreme Court as possible. The other is a federal district court case which was put on hold pending resolution of the state court case. That case can now resume. The key issues in those cases are the permissibility of drop boxes and the deadline for receipt of mail in ballots.
Is the second question rhetorical?wgdsr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:12 amcan a case like this get heard in a week @ scotus?njbill wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 12:03 am Article today in the Inquirer that talks appeared to have stalled between Governor Wolf and the state legislature, controlled by Republicans, over a deal to allow early processing of mail in ballots.

what would be the thinking behind banning drop boxes from the legislature?
no. it's not to me. i don't know 5% of pa's procedures and they seem dynamic since 2019. what's obvious?MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:17 amIs the second question rhetorical?wgdsr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:12 amcan a case like this get heard in a week @ scotus?njbill wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 12:03 am Article today in the Inquirer that talks appeared to have stalled between Governor Wolf and the state legislature, controlled by Republicans, over a deal to allow early processing of mail in ballots.

Frankly, I don't much give a schidt who, where, or how the battery was made, I just like the way she goes down the road (on those "fatty" tires) when I give it the juice.runrussellrun wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:15 amMan, you are old........very very nice bike. Did African slave children dig up the silica for the batteries? Or just used in the solar panels that charge the batteries. Renewable my arse......
The supreme court can move very quickly, if necessary. Obviously Ginsberg’s death complicates things (now only 8 votes), but the court’s work will continue. One scenario, of course, is that the court denies cert.wgdsr wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 9:12 amcan a case like this get heard in a week @ scotus?njbill wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 12:03 am Article today in the Inquirer that talks appeared to have stalled between Governor Wolf and the state legislature, controlled by Republicans, over a deal to allow early processing of mail in ballots.

However, when I said "obvious" I was assuming you know that the Republican legislatures around the country are doing everything they can think of to make it harder for those they assume to be Dems to vote, whether by eliminating polling places in jurisdictions with high Dem concentrations, or having required registered lines for R's and D's with the same # of machines with not enough for Dems in those high concentration areas (see Texas) leading to 5 hour long lines for folks who have difficulty getting time to vote as it is, or disallowing ballots received after Election Day regardless of when postmarked, or eliminating drop boxes which allow people to 'mail' their ballot bypassing potential USPS delay variables (PA) or...
Lots and lots of strategies to try to make it more difficult. What these legislatures know about 2020 is that, unlike the norm when GOP voters disproportionately use mail voting, in this election demand voters are far disproportionately going to use mail as the public health experts advise avoiding crowds, especially indoors, and Dem voters are far more likely to respect that counsel in comparison to GOP voters who have been told by Der Leader that mail = fraud, can't be sure your vote has been counted if you mail it, and there's zero risk of infection in crowds and/or you aren't actually at risk and it's your patriotic duty to take off that mask...
Of course, if all that's not enough, maybe law enforcement 'poll watchers' can keep Dem voting down...
