#3Wow I wish our executive branch actually did take orders from Russia, per the fantasy we all enjoyed for three years. They're certainly taking the situation more seriously than we are. After several states held disastrous primary elections over the last two weeks, Wisconsin is set to hold another one this week!

#4Lots of countries have.
I was on one of the last flights to transit through Taiwan. Here in the UK, the government have been talking about a program to get brits back from Australia because many of the places you have to stop and refuel are closed even to transiting passengers.

Amazing, in the same paragraph, acquiescence of power to a foreign state and a plea to end democracy.

"Democracy"? Is that what we're talking about? Read the transcript: "We're gonna, you know, choose our standard bearer, and we're gonna follow these general rules of the road, which we are voluntarily deciding, we could have -- and we could have voluntarily decided that, Look, we're gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way. That's not the way it was done. But they could have. And that would have also been their right, and it would drag the Court well into party politics, internal party politics to answer those questions." [0]
Are you advising your aged parents to work at the polls this week? Why not?
