I don't know anything about him but I wondered if he was related to Joanna Newsom, who I like very much, and they are apparently second cousins, twice removed (I don't know what that means). My dad and his cousin are first cousins. His cousin and I are first cousins once removed because of the generation difference. So I think it means one of them is a second cousin to the other one's grandparent and because of the two generation difference, it means they are twice removed.

Also posting this for DC people- I actually got one of these calls earlier this week from a 202 number. I answered and was like is that Chinese? That can't be right. Starting to make me wonder if it could be related to the OPM hack. I get these all the time and I live in Seattle. I even get them on my work phone sometimes. They come from all different area codes - 213, 212, 408, 415. I've always assumed it was spam even thought I have no idea what they are saying on the voice messages.

I have second cousins I've never ever met. I can't imagine I will ever meet my second cousin's grandkids.

Also your cousin's kids and your parents' cousins are both "first cousins once removed". I don't like that.

Starting to make me wonder if it could be related to the OPM hack. There's also a scam targeting WaPo subscribers. I got a couple of robocalls from "The Washington Post" and a very convincing fake bill in the mail. The only reason I didn't fall for it was bc I specifically recalled paying in advance through my Prime account, and the bill was retroactive.

Trump is in my state campaigning for Henry McMaster for governor in SC, who was one of the first public officials to support Trump. He's in a runoff and I think will probably win. We just selected James Smith, an amazing human being, for the Democratic ticket in a landslide primary election. McMaster is pretty divisive and Smith is a good moderate Democrat and could bring us crossover votes. I'm so hoping we can pull off a win. I've gone to some campaign events and plan on volunteering, which I'm super excited about! We need to get SC democrats to understand that their votes matter I wish I could vote in the runoff today! I'm also excited about the democratic nominee for Sanford's old seat. I plan on volunteering for him.

RE: Robocalls
I've gotten several calls stating my social security number has been suspended due to activity and please call this number in Texas, Mass, and another state I can't remember.
HOW do you suspend a SSN? Does that mean I don't have to pay any taxes?

She called my mom, who manages her finances, in a panic about being arrested. She was terrified.

It was like 2 years ago and they had her send money orders or something through target saying they were the IRS. I wish it wasn’t my day off or anyone was in the office because that poor girl ran around all afternoon instead of working and lost like $5k. 🙁

Omg. Clearly not important but still making my mouth drop. Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle are officially dating. That’s Gavin Newsom’s ex wife. She’s also the WORST.

I do that because of the daily robo call saying the IRS has a warrant out for my arrest. Or they are putting a lean on my house. Or they are looking to question me about a matter.

“Patriotic” people wearing flag apparel kill me. That’s against the flag code you disrespectful morons. It is, in fact, a federal misdemeanor. Maybe we should take away their children. 😒 First amendment rights though, right? The same rights they don't think other people should have?

Maybe we should take away their children. 😒 I second this. I grew up learning respect for the flag. Actually most recently I got a spot light for mine so I can leave it out at night and made sure it was made of all weather material so I can leave it outside. But before the light I took it in at night and out in the morning and kept it in during inclement weather. I also don't own flag clothing or have a sticker of one anywhere.

So...are there no Democratic leaders or liberal groups being included in this review process? Of course not. That would be there is liberal bias. Did you know that? Having 1 liberal means liberal bias.

There are more jobs in solar than coal & nuclear power combined. But by all means. Let's crater that industry to appeal to the fossil fuel industries which are rapidly destroying our planet. Who needs a habitable place to live? You see a wild Trumper in the woods. You use logic! It is... not effective.

I do not believe first amendment rights Drumpf the flag code. In practice they probably do but I don't believe they should.

In practice they probably do but I don't believe they should. From wikipedia: In 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Eichman that the prohibition of burning the U.S. flag conflicts with the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and is therefore unconstitutional.[1]
