Midland, Michigan just had a couple of dam breaks that for some unthinkable reason were to be managed by HOAs that just ignored them. 10,000 people ordered to evacuate. Going to be close to ten feet of water just washing a town away. 

There's a nuclear powered DOW chemical plant downstream of it. 

During a pandemic. 

You couldn't write that.

Michigan is screwed. See how high numbers jump today.

Not to worry, Trump is on Twitter talking about Michigan - but not about the virus or the dams breaking. He's raging about "voter fraud" because the state is mailing out absentee ballots.

And then there is the virus, that we are supposed to be discussing

Oh it's very much topical.  If we're going to safely conduct an election in November amidst a pandemic we should consider vote-by-mail.  I know I am but that's because anybody can vote absentee in North Carolina and you don't need a reason.

I think the chief executive of the United States having a sloppy meltdown over it is germane.

The Whole Country Voting by mail is a bad-idea. I understand there is a few circumstances that is happens.  However, that is another topic.

It's not going to happen that way because states run their own elections and can make their own rules, and there are several (trigger warning, politics) who are ideologically opposed to letting everybody who is eligible to vote do so.  The federal government can't force a state to adopt universal vote by mail any more than it can force them to stop.  The only way the entire country would vote that way would be if all 50 states decided to by their own volition.

You are correct in that the 3 sources you list so left leaning that I do not consider them credible...but you guys say that about fox, so I’ll consider that even up

what is surprising is that those states you note allow vote by mail, and that no legal action has been taken...not by the states themselves, but by outsiders, and yes by the RNC specifically 

but I will also admit this goes both ways, as we saw down east in the recent congressional race
 

absentee voting is one thing, complete vote by mail just invites huge fraud, on both sides

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
