So, this just happened:

It is going to feel like wack-a-mole for the next 7 days.

Not springy enough! Somebody should already be tried and convicted! WE NEED PUBLIC EXECUTIONS! HANG ‘EM FROM A LAMPPOST WITH A SIGN AROUND THEIR NECKS: “MOMMA, HERE’S YOUR BOY!”

Nobody gets to vote twice because of this.). The arson is just stupid. But maybe avoid drop boxes in Washington state, to avoid the inconvenience.

In the meantime, CALM THE FUCK DOWN!
