The Prison Badges at Concentration Camps:
  • Red triangle – political prisoners: social democrats, liberals, socialists, communists, anarchists, gentiles who assisted Jews; trade unionists; and Freemasons.
  • Green triangle – convicts and criminals (often working as kapos).
  • Blue triangle – foreign forced laborers and emigrants. This category included apatrides, Spanish refugees from Francoist Spain, whose citizenship was revoked and emigrants to countries which were occupied by Nazi Germany or were under German sphere of influence.
  • Purple triangle – primarily Jehovah's Witnesses (over 99%) as well as members of other small pacifist religious groups.
  • Pink triangle – primarily homosexual men and those identified as such (e.g., bisexual men, trans women)[3][4][5] and sexual offenders as well as pedophiles and zoophiles.
  • Black triangle – people who were deemed asocial elements (asozial) and work-shy (arbeitsscheu), including the following:
  • Roma and Sinti. They wore the black triangle with a Z notation (for Zigeuner, meaning Gypsy) to the right of the triangle's point. Male Romani were later assigned a brown triangle. Female Romani were still deemed asocials as they were stereotyped as petty criminals (prostitutes, kidnappers and fortune tellers).
  • Mentally ill and mentally disabled. Their triangles were inscribed with the word Blöd, meaning stupid.[8]
    Alcoholics and drug addicts.
    Vagrants and beggars.
    Pacifists and conscription resisters.
    Prostitutes.
    Lesbians.
  • Brown triangle – Romani males.
  • Uninverted red triangle – an enemy POW

Trump is suing 3 states to block their votes. Now you know how Captain Moroni would behave in the 21st Century!

I thought you meant they'd actually formed a distinctive triangle. if it's a sectioned off corner, then that's not a hit.
No. It's just like you're driving down the main drag type thing. You pass Walmart, auto sales lots, Home Depot, car washes, whatever...then there was an undeveloped corner, so a field. That's where the pick up was parked and the flags were out around the corner right on the curb sort of.

Now I feel like someone who observed an accident being questioned. ;-)

If I happen to go by there tomorrow and the guy is there I will try to snap a pic since I learned how to upload photos to the board.

I couldn't believe the guy was just sitting there with that flag display. Like what is that? A "look at me" moment?

CNN (?) has a thing right now that says Trump is doubting the legal action to his campaign team or whatever. What I am getting (and I might not be understanding this correctly) is that he's suing because of the deadline and/or is conflating it with counting the ballots.

This guy makes my head spin.

You know what just let the guy do whatever he's gonna do. We all knew he'd try to pull something. I'm just glad that the world isn't on fire at the moment. But of course, that could be coming here shortly.

Don't think he's got a leg to stand on. I'm happy to wait him out and let things simmer down should they heat up to boiling point.

Yeah here is the thing I was talking about on CNN. Scroll down the page.


Trump has questioned legal efforts in calls with allies
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/ ... a3de75b3ee

I don't know why I end up on CNN except that I can see a bazillion headlines/issues and figure out what I want to pursue from there. It's like a "hub".

Biden underperformed big time in Miami, and they're attributing this to the large Cuban community who bought into the Trump campaign's fear mongering tactics about Biden-Harris being closet communists.

I'm shocked that Georgia is still in play.
It's sad how often the mere unsupported accusation of communism against anyone anywhere left of hard right extremism seems to work with some people.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

In San Francisco, you can check on your ballot at sfelections.org/voterportal

Here's what I found out:
1. You are registered to vote as a permanent vote-by-mail voter and will be mailed a ballot for the November 3 election. The Department begins mailing ballots approximately one month before Election Day. On 09-18-2020, your ballot was processed.
2. On 09-21-2020, your ballot cards were printed.
3. On 09-24-2020, your ballot cards and voting instructions were placed into an envelope for mailing.
Your ballot packet is being delivered to a post office.
4. On 10-02-2020, your ballot packet was delivered to a post office.
Please allow the postal service 3-5 business days to deliver your ballot.
5. On 10-31-2020, we received your ballot.
6. On 10-31-2020, the signature on your ballot envelope was reviewed.
Your ballot was accepted and will be counted. Download your “I Voted” e-sticker now!
7. On 10-31-2020, your ballot envelope was readied for opening.
8. On 10-31-2020, your ballot was removed from its envelope so that your votes can be counted.
9. On 11-01-2020, your ballot for the November 3 election was counted![/list]
In Atlanta, you can watch the tabulation center on line. A lot of states have done a lot of work to make the process more open and transparent. While a lot of states have tried to make voting more difficult, people running the vote tabulation seem to be very srupulous, which is gratifying.

Maybe he figures that this is his last chance to unload his stash of Trump swap meet merch.
