For me, I believe that, of course, privacy is important but I also believe that the safety of the nation as a whole is important. It is a negotiation and it is should be done on a case by case basis. Having privacy above everything else is dangerous and the safety of the nation as a whole above everything is even more dangerous but both must exist in this world. There should a be framework by which a case can be judged and it should also have provisions for situations where time is of the essence.  The world is not black and white, we live in shades of grey. We need to understand that in issues that are important like this, there is no easy solution. Also, this is not an every 2 or 4 year issue, this is a daily issue.

This is THE most important vote

Things aren’t over quite yet: Both Georgia Senate races are headed to a January 2021 runoff that could decide Senate control.

This is where we are: Democrats (including the 2 independent senators Sanders and King) currently hold 48 seats. Republicans currently hold 50 seats.

If Democrats gain the 2 seats from the runoffs (Ossoff and Warnock) we will be able to TIE the Senate 50-50. In which case, Kamala Harris, the VP, will tie-break votes in favor of the Democrats, therefore giving us a “majority” in the Senate.

I cannot stress enough how important this is for Democrats. We need to get both Ossoff and Warnock in, otherwise Biden will have a very difficult time getting anything done in office over the next 4 years.

FOR GEORGIA VOTERS:

MARK YOUR CALENDARS. The federal runoff election date (aka for the Senate seats) is JANUARY 5, 2021! (State and local runoffs are held December 1, 2020!)

Request an absentee ballot by NOVEMBER 18, 2020. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE, EVEN IF YOU VOTED IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. For those who voted absentee in the General Election, you will NOT be automatically sent another absentee ballot for the runoff if you don’t make a separate request for one! Your prior absentee ballot request for the General Election does not apply to the runoff!

Register to vote for the runoff by DECEMBER 7, 2020.

Early voting for the runoff will begin on DECEMBER 14, 2020. (Please get your ballots in before the Jan. 5 deadline, and try to drop off your ballots instead of mailing them in when it gets very close. For info on in-person voting on election day, check here.)

Check your voting status, track your ballot, find polling locations, verify your mail-in application status, and more HERE.

Are you 17 years old but will be 18 by JANUARY 5, 2021? You are eligible to vote in the runoffs!

If you’re a college student coming from another state who is currently living on-campus or off-campus in Georgia, you can register to vote in the Georgia runoffs. (Go here, here and here for more info about this.)

Go here to find the contact info of your county’s board of registrar’s office. Contact them to discuss the voting options available to you!

Check the official Georgia website for more runoff election information.

Btw, Debbie is the 3rd Gallagher who is with a Milkovich. 

Lip's energy coming back from securing the venue is underrated comedy. Like "If the worst outcome is your boyfriend has to marry your sister y'all can shut up and say thank you, you're welcome for me solving everything."

According to the police report, the girl’s mother brought the child to the apartment complex to do a woman’s hair.

The report said a man made an advance on another woman, got into an altercation, and opened fire into a car with the child and her mother inside.

“He can’t handle his rage. He can’t handle his anger,” parent Dineshia Smith said.

“You know that little girl is fighting for her life right now just because a young man doesn’t know how to take rejection,” Sledge said

It makes me wonder about which should be first, watching the tv show/movie or reading the books. If you read the books first, you will be excited for the tv show/movie but you run the risk of them changing something that you feel is important. Or watching the tv show/movie first and then reading the books and having the world expanded to what the author had initially intended.

Now I just treat all book based tv shows as if they are inspired by the books instead of based on. It is easier on my heart.

I refuse to critically analyze A Discovery Of Witches because that would be like critically analyzing a birthday cake made by angels and I’m old and tired and I don’t want to do it anymore
