Stupid battleground state

[Exterous]

Just got Saturday's mail. 7 mailers. Let's see some highlights.
"Lowest unemployment in generations"
Hmmm so about that...
"Defeated foreign danger"
Huh?
Well it's got a picture of an aircraft carrier next to it so that's nice.
"America can't hide from the coronavirus. We must be vigilant and get life back to normal" with a picture of a small child carrying a football. On the other side "Joe Bidens American" features black and white images of desolate schools and locked chain link fences.

An unbranded one says politicians are going to block access to Healthcare and clean water so we should join them and vote.

So far, all we get are flyers for local candidates and issues...but I get an average of 20 or more emails from the Trump campaign..always begging for money. First time I've ever gotten emails from a candidate.


Oh...and why is this in OT not P&N?

Yeah, I've been getting about 20 Trump campaign e-mails in my spam folder each week for the past year. Which one of you jerks signed me up for those?

We're catching up on a recorded game so no switching for us unfortunately (and Hulu TV can't skip commercials on this channel)

We have decided to drop Dish totally, basically cutting the cord. Haven't watched what might be classified as "broadcast TV" in months. OTA is limited since we live in the mountains, but can get ABC, PBS, and a FOX affiliate. Streaming is already approaching 1TB a month, but we don't have a data cap so that's good. Will likely add CBS All Access, in addition to current Netflix, Prime, Disney (come free with Verizon) and Hulu, but not Hulu TV.

My understanding is you can't skip commercials on CBS all access, at airtime, but if viewed later, they can be skipped.

huh.

last time I watched Hulu, several months ago, only ads I got were the return of ATT girl, much to my enjoyment. I didn't mind the ads.

Hey... at least your vote for president means something. I know that no matter whom I vote for here in Connecticut, Joe Biden will win the delegates in this state by more than 10% of the vote. They haven't voted for a Republican presidential candidate here since Ronald Reagan's second term.

Same thing when I lived in Nebraska, so I always voted third party. They can split some of their electoral vote there, but it's only happened once, in 2008, AFAIK. Will possibly happen again this year though.

I'm listening to Puscifer's new album, and a song on there nails the last 6 months or so involving the overwhelming presence of politics in commercials/mailers/text messages, etc.

An excerpt from the song 'Fake Affront':

"Sanctimonious, phony little shit
You can drop the fake affront, pompous ass
Heard it all before

Shut the fuck up
Shut the fuck up

Pious lipstick smeared fundamentalism
Drop the fake affront, pompous ass
Heard it all before

Heard it all before
Shut the fuck up
Heard it all, heard it, heard it all before
Shut the fuck up
Heard it all, heard it

Far Right. Far Left. Same Shit
You can drop the fake affront, pompous ass
Heard it all before"
