Taking lessons from Turtle lately? The question Snopes address "Is USPS Locking Mailboxes To Undermine 2020 Election?" Which is a minuscule part of the trump effort to subvert mail in ballot deliveries and hence votes. You seem to think the entire effort of trump, DeJoy and their focus to achieve their aims is "mailbox removal" or "locking mailboxes". Reminds one of "the emails", "the e-mails".

No overtime, no work,no work and the mail is delayed. Its not a difficult concept to understand. If the genius wants to overhaul the USPS and make it more efficient thats one thing. You bring in more automation and streamline the process. Cutting back on overtime does none of that. It delays service, its discourages customers from using the service. Removing mail sorting machines that are underutilized due to volume shrinkage from Covid. Do nothing to reduce costs, nothing to speed service or streamline operations. It costs money. No master plan by Louis DeJoy has been announced by either himself or the union because none exists. "In June, union officials were told that 671 mail sorting machines would be taken out of service due to a “reduction to letter and flat mail volume,” the New York Times reported. Dejoy has a business history involving shipping containers and inter-modal freight transport. No experience with retail parcel movements. It seems as if the topic at hand is delivering ballots and mail. Furthermore the lies he told at House hearings that election ballots would be delivered on time. Are in direct contrast to the affirmation by himself that his actions would SLOW mail deliveries. So is he going to undo those actions? Or what are the proactive actions that he is going to undertake to fulfill those promises made under oath? You seem to be insistent in defense of DeJoy. Yet can offer nothing of substance that any action he has taken will improve service, speed or deliver ballots on time. Which is the topic at hand. Now the words right from trump's mouth: "They want $3.5 billion for something that will turn out to be fraudulent, that's election money basically. They want $3.5 trillion — billion dollars for the mail-in votes, OK, universal mail-in ballots, $3.5 trillion. They want $25 billion, billion, for the Post Office. Now they need that money in order to have the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. . . . Now, if we don't make a deal, that means they don't get the money. That means they can't have universal mail-in voting, they just can't have it. So, you know, sort of a crazy thing. Very interesting." "According to a WSJ/NBC News poll published this week, some 47 percent of voters who back Mr Biden plan to vote by mail, compared to 11 percent of Trump voters."

From story: "DeJoy issued new guidelines for Postal Service mail carriers and clerks — directives that he framed as solutions to the agency’s long-standing financial issues. Workers were instructed to leave some letters or packages at distribution centers longer than usual and informed them that management would no longer pay carriers overtime to complete all mail deliveries. Meanwhile, Postal Service employees and customers reported delays in deliveries" Actions which would guarantee delays.

The same talking points have worked many times before. These prosecutions must all be apart of the Qanon, deep state witch hunt of the GOP and their agenda.

At least with a free press and clean courts its slowed the mob boss down.

Its almost worth it to see the ticker tape of racist donators at the bottom. Hurrah Bannon....well not quite. But its not a total loss. The money Bannon spent on women, wine, fast cars, etc. was at least well spent.

You should cross post that in the Banana republic thread.

In that case Ivanka, Jared and trump himself will all be getting Nixon - A President that became a Crook,. Trump - A Crook that became a President.

NASCAR likes to parade its relationship with Christ at the start of every event. Starting with a "invocation" from a minister. Rick Hendrick a NASCAR four team owner is one of the most identifiable team owners. Turns out that the Falwell University and Hendrick have shared the Hendrick yacht as well. "Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. has repeatedly used a 164-foot yacht owned by NASCAR mogul Rick Hendrick for family vacations after the university committed to a lucrative sponsorship deal with Hendrick Motorsports, according to former and current Liberty employees and social media posts by the Falwell family."... “The only thing better than working with @libertyuniversity supporters on their yacht in the Greek Islands is working with them on both of their yachts!” he said in an Instagram post in June 2018."... "Especially if the use of the yacht was limited to Falwell and his personal guests, the arrangement might raise questions about whether Falwell's vacations are a motivation for Liberty’s ongoing sponsor of Hendricks' NASCAR team, said Eve Borenstein, a nonprofit lawyer at the firm of Harmon, Curran, Spielberg & Eisenberg. “All of the dollars they have, every single asset they have, has to be spent to charitable ends,” Borenstein said.

He as only been charged and there is not likely to be much of anything before January 20th unless he pleads guilty. AFAIK you can't pardon a charge.

American hero.

Too funny, I was wondering how Miller was lining his pockets today. He's the last of the OG boys and yet to be charged.

Steve Bannon Charged With Fraud In ‘We Build The Wall’ Fundraising Scheme "Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and three others were charged with fraud by Manhattan prosecutors Thursday in connection with the “We Build The Wall” fundraising scheme, with the Department of Justice claiming that hundreds of thousands of donors were defrauded as a result, with the campaign raising over $25 million." Ho hum just more of the same trump type corruption, more draining the swamp.

Well you're possibly right. What I meant was the war music of Ron's aforementioned song and subsequent sermon obviously delivering the message as to how to think.

Well President Putin has done it again. Any bets on if trump will condemn it or applaud it and dream about ordering similar actions. Alexei Navalny: Russian opposition leader 'poisoned' No, contrary to rumors he didn't receive Putin's Covid vaccine.

"Blow the trumpet in Zion, Zion." You can read the words while you listen to the band and understand what goes on in Ron's church on Sundays. Sunday mass has sure changed since the days of compassion, kindness and love for all men(women too).

Excellent analogy, yet trump's supporters believe he goes to church and is a christian.

Excellent analogy and yet trump's support is still 38%. The $3.75 trillion (this year) in debt, QE and stimulus has many convinced he is good at managing the economy.

I don't disagree with you. The first notes in any foreign service briefing on trump is flattery and tell trump you like him. The "love our country" of course is his lack of understanding of facts. He says he knows little about them(lie) but yet came to the conclusion that(he heard) they love America. The term "he heard" or "someone told me" are his catchall phrases to deny his personal knowledge of the facts. In any event Qanon now has the tie to the president that the GOP has tried to disavow. Yet at the same time Qanon supporters are running for election. trump included.

trump's full endorsement of Qanon. "President Donald Trump on Wednesday claimed he didn't know much about the right-wing conspiracy theory QAnon but offered praise for its believers, adding that he heard they "like me very much" and "love our country." "Well I don't know much about the movement, other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate," Trump told reporters during a White House briefing. "These are people that don't like seeing what's going on in places like Portland, Chicago and New York and other cities and states. ... I've heard these are people that love our country and they just don't like seeing it."

What are the GOP House and Senate Qanon candidates going to do now? Its undemocratic counter-revolutionary.

Qanon in now going to rely upon the pony express and messages under rocks to spread the word. Hillary. Soros and Gates are safe for another week. But trump is likely to sign another executive order to save Qanon. "Facebook said on Wednesday that it had removed 790 QAnon groups from its site and was restricting another 1,950 groups, 440 pages and more than 10,000 Instagram accounts related to the right-wing conspiracy theory, in the social network’s most sweeping action against the fast-growing movement." Clearly Facebook is now a part of the deep state MSM.

Agree and he's 19 now. Makes you wonder if Kansas D's have lost interest in politics.

Hey glad to help! I hope the end of world, SHTF, seize control from the liberals, Bill Gates, Soros, etc. works out for you.

G.O.P.-Led Senate Panel Details Ties Between 2016 Trump Campaign and Russia "A sprawling report released Tuesday by a Republican-controlled Senate panel that spent three years investigating Russia’s 2016 election interference laid out an extensive web of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Russian government officials and other Russians, including some with ties to the country’s intelligence services. The report by the Senate Intelligence Committee, totaling nearly 1,000 pages, provided a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government undertook an extensive campaign to try to sabotage the 2016 American election to help Mr. Trump become president, and some members of Mr. Trump’s circle of advisers were open to the help from an American adversary." In a further report on the matter of treason from Politico: "Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort worked closely with a Russian intelligence officer who may have been involved in the hack and release of Democratic emails during the election, the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded in a bipartisan report released Tuesday. It’s the furthest U.S. officials have gone in describing Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime Manafort business associate, as an agent of the Russian government. The disclosure was part of the committee’s fifth and final installment of its investigation of the Kremlin’s interference in the 2016 presidential election." Old news really four years later and Russia is helping its best investment ever get re-elected. trump's supporters have ordered new helpings of borsch and vareniki.
