The NSA should have all that info. My phone can know if I walk into a Dunkin Donuts, but the gov’t can’t track who has voted and who hasn’t?

That’s information I can download from my county board of elections website. Who voted. Who didn’t. Who voted in a partisan primary. Which party. etc.

The charming couple-whichever one published that spreadsheet-need counseling, not an internet adventure-what an amazing lack of maturity and regard for their partner’s feelings...

That said, I would guess that the wife has found a new guy to lose that weight for...

Yep-as a female, I can tell you that is the knock-off-bet she has a bunch of new clothes and make-up, too...

Let me add that a guy who wants to know what is going on would notice what his woman is wearing and recent clothing purchases-is she packing hunting togs to go on those business trips alone, sultry new perfume, or visual pheromone lingerie that he has never seen before...

Hunting togs?

Hunting togs in this case refers to low cut tops, spandex skirts/dresses so tight and short they can barely be walked in, push-up bras, fishnet hose f***me pumps, etc-stuff designed for the kind of hunting you do in clubs/bars...
