ignatius Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 are you being sarcastic? of course Harris is eligible to be vice president. she's from oakland right? natural born citizen. all this fake drama about the press etc is just nonsense. also, i think as for 'if trump is in trouble' nah.. this seems like a move to unload all the data/reports etc far enough before the election to see if any of it gets traction to use as ammo against him.. or perhaps convince a handful of voters here and there who are somehow undecided and can't figure out what issues are actually important to them. i listened to an interview w/some get out the vote people this morning who are going out into places that voted against democrats but were kinda on the fence. the worker who gos out into neighborhoods and knocks on doors went into some details about various conversations she had.. one woman she spoke with ran a small dairy farm and voted for trump in 2016 thinking he'd be the voice for small farms like hers and she was sad to find out that as time went on he only helped out the mega corporate farms etc. the conversation apparently lasted quite a while and eventually got down to what issue was actually important enough to make it more than a coin toss vote for her.. for whatever reasons she didn't trust democrats. so, it came down to healthcare. the woman's health insurance for her family was around $2000 a month. she said she hadn't been to a doctor in years because she was afraid of the bills etc even though shad insurance. so, they had a discussion about the plans of each candidate.. of the 2 candidates trump doesn't have one. there was some discussion about the early lives of each candidate and all that and the woman decided she was going to vote for biden. not sure what the point of relaying all that was.. just was in my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Quote “IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE TARGETING BLUE URBAN AREAS”: NEW POSTAL SERVICE PLAN IS SETTING OFF ELECTION ALARMS Quote Called the Expedited to Street/Afternoon Sortation (ESAS) program, the initiative, launched by the post office on July 25, focuses on more than 1,200 zip codes zones around the country. A description of the new plan, outlined in the trade publication Postal Times, caught McKean’s eye because of the way it would shake up long-standing procedures. According to McKean, these include how mail carriers have typically started their day by prioritizing the delivery of important pieces—first-class letters, payments, packages, bills, and, yes, vote-by-mail applications and mail-in ballots—before they head out on their routes. Then, after they return from their rounds, they process less-critical mail, which is typically delivered the next day. Under the ESAS plan, however, certain post offices have begun testing the practice of leaving all sorting until the afternoon—a change that postal officials said was intended to get mail carriers out on the street faster. The real impact, according to McKean, could be delays in mail delivery in some areas of one to several days—a critical lag during a presidential contest in which ballots in many statesmust be received by election day. Such delays had also alarmed the president of the American Postal Workers Union, Mark Dimondstein, who told The Intercept, “These are changes aimed at changing the entire culture of USPS. The culture I grew up with, and of generations before me, is that you never leave mail behind. You serve the customer, you get mail to the customer. Prompt, reliable, and efficient.” Another postal workers’ union, the National Association of Letter Carriers, filed an official grievance that claims the ESAS program violates labor agreements that don’t allow post office management to make unilateral changes like this, as well as standards about how mail is sorted and prioritized by postal carriers. When the new policy was announced last month, McKean, age 62 and living in a small town in northeastern Oregon, became concerned. McKean, it so happens, is also a researcher for investigative reporter Peter Lance, who has written for Vanity Fair, and is accustomed to sussing out details and making connections that others might miss. Alarmed by what she saw as potential delivery slowdowns, she perused the list of designated sites and their zip codes and began to see a pattern: that the tests were being conducted in areas that affected more residents in urban centers than those in smaller towns and rural households. This suggested a possible political tilt, given the voting patterns of people living in large cities versus small towns. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/08/new-postal-service-plan-is-setting-off-election-alarms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I'm right, he defended an anti-semitic joke, then said men have more responsibility than women? Alt-righter I presume? I just wonder if the joke was meant to be anti-semetic, or just very unfortunate that it appears that way when he was just trying to say the critic 'stinks'. Either way, very stupid thing to do. And a stupid thing to defend. Edited August 22, 2020 by Brisbot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbot Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 yes, especially the best men at the top of the man hierarchy. Some of them have bullshit levels off the charts - to where reality itself seems to bend to their will. At least until the past few years anyway.

Silent Member Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 By this point they should just go for a KKK march and festive lynching, hanging and cross burning, because the GOP have gone completely off the rails as evil super villains anyway. No need to hide their most vile and disgusting traits, now this is their main selling point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignatius Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 this shit is going to be weird. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-to-speak-all-4-nights-rnc-convention-report-2020-8 Quote Donald Trump is to speak on all 4 nights of the RNC, and his family will take up half of the keynote speaker spots Quote President Donald Trump will speak on all four nights of next week's Republican National Convention, breaking with the longstanding tradition limiting the party's presidential candidate to one big acceptance speech on the last night of the event, The New York Times reported. Trump will speak at the RNC's first-ever virtual event every night in a prime-time 10pm slot, reported the Times. The party plans are being coordinated by two former Apprentice producers who hope to eclipse the DNC's first virtual convention last week. Trump was the show's host for the first fourteen seasons, and the show's popularity gave him a national profile and contributed to his rise to the presidency. According to Politico, Trump believes that last week's DNC event was too "gloomy," and wants a more upbeat tone for the GOP conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
