2020 Elections - Trump FIRED

[kramerica.inc]

Quoting that article:

In California, Harris built a career out of over-prosecuting kids in minority neighborhoods and doing anything to appear “tough on crime,” including championing a law to put parents of truant kids in jail.

Oh no! She's "tough on crime"! So radical!!

The more I read, the more it appears she's an opportunistic chameleon than anything.

People should be more worried about who is talking in Kamela's ear rather than her own beliefs. Because if her record is any indication, she's been all over the map. Depends on what day it is and who her audience is.

It’s Kamala

I like Carmela better, has a Soprano's ring to it. You never know if she might have someone "whacked"

Appreciate it. My phone autocorrects it to "Kamela" for some reason. I think she'll get over it.

I've always thought it was a good thing for people to change their beliefs based on new information and experiences. What's the alternative?; Stagnant, inflexible thinking?
That depends on whether you have a true change if heart. If your changing what you believe out political neccessity that is something else.

Agreed, however that's been the nature of Politics for quite some time. Look at the Lincoln/ Douglas Debates and Lincoln's changing positions based on where in Illinois the debate was being held.

Please find a post where I stated that tax cuts would pay for themselves. You are mistaken and creating a false premise as usual. I may have optimistically told you to be patient but that's quite different from stating anything... or more likely, I may have simply been breaking your stones..

Likely breaking stones. And what you're telling me is.....I can't return the favor and break yours by rubbing your nose in it for being wrong? That's not ego, tech. That's having fun with each other. The problem here is that you're too stubborn to simply say "you win this round", laugh at yourself, and move on.

As I've said, I've been dead wrong about some of the things Trump hasn't done.....and I can laugh at myself for having egg on my face. It's not a big deal. We're having fun on a lax site.....with no lacrosse in sight!

"FoxNation" your age-old retort for everything You certainly don't need Fox to see/understand what is happening. You're too smart not to notice and are just playing games. It must be that, on some level, you enjoy seeing the left gaining more influence/power.

I'm not playing one single game.

Did they pick Bernie, or did they pick at guy who laughably been in power since I was 3 freaking years old, Tech. I'm 50 years old, for F's sake, and you want to tell me the lefties are coming? Dude. Wake up. The 1%ers are coming. THAT is what is headed our way.

And if you're really serious about this? You have ZERO sense of history. The radical left was literally bombing sh*t up all through the 1970's. Literally. Do you remember just how many bombings there were?

Do "the Weathermen" ring a bell anywhere, Tech? In a single 18 month period, know how many bombs were detonated in 71-72?

FBI put it at 2,500. And what happened to US politics? Bunch anarchists running things? Riiiiiiight. That explains why the lefties have everything they want.....free University, universal health care, iron-clad Unions in every sector, right? Boy, the Billionaires can barely catch a break in America. Poor guys.


And yet you want to lose your mind over a few kids....as Pete put it....in pink tutus saying "mean stuff" to the police line? Yep, there were a few injuries, and nope, that's not acceptable to me.

But "you don't understand what's coming"? FoxNation isn't my retort for everything, Tech. It's my response when you're gullible enough to buy their nonsense. Don't want me to use the phrase? Don't eat the hook, the line, the sinker, and the dock that is Right Wing hysteria.

We'll talk again if Biden manages to win. You're not going to point to a single "lefty" thing that Biden will do that Trump hasn't already done.

Enjoy your weekend.

Tor the first time in Gallup's measurement over the past decade, Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism.

Hey, this seems weird, right? Nope: the President confirmed the plan in a televised interview today. Republicans win elections when citizens can't vote

"The United States Postal Service is removing mail sorting machines from facilities around the country without any official explanation or reason given, Motherboard has learned through interviews with postal workers and union officials. In many cases, these are the same machines that would be tasked with sorting ballots, calling into question promises made by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy that the USPS has “ample capacity” to handle the predicted surge in mail-in ballots.

Motherboard identified 19 mail sorting machines from five processing facilities across the U.S. that either have already been removed or are scheduled to be in the near future. But the Postal Service operates hundreds of distribution facilities around the country, so it is not clear precisely how many machines are getting removed and for what purpose.

Even to local union officials, USPS has not announced any policy, explained why they are doing this, what will happen to the machines and the workers who use them. Nor has management provided a rationale for dismantling and removing the machines from the facility rather than merely not operating them when they’re not needed.

“I’m not sure you’re going to find an answer for why [the machines being removed] makes sense,” said Iowa Postal Workers Union President Kimberly Karol, “because we haven’t figured that out either.”

The postal workers Motherboard spoke to said having machines removed, replaced, or modified is nothing new, but this time it seems to be more widespread, include a larger number of machines at their respective facility, and potentially impacts the facility’s ability to process large numbers of mail, including ballots, in a short time span.

“Look at it this way: Your local grocery store was forced to cut 1/3 of its cash-out lines, but management expected the same productivity, quality, and speed for the customer,” said an employee at a Buffalo distribution facility, which they said is set to lose six out of 21 mail sorting machines. “It’s just never going to happen.”

After publication, USPS spokesperson David Partenheimer told Motherboard, “The Postal Service routinely moves equipment around its network as necessary to match changing mail and package volumes. Package volume is up, but mail volume continues to decline. Adapting our processing infrastructure to the current volumes will ensure more efficient, cost effective operations and better service for our customers.”

While the consequences of this new policy are mostly unclear for now, it neatly fits with the sudden, opaque, and drastic changes made by DeJoy, a longtime Republican fundraiser and Trump donor, in the less than two months he’s been postmaster general. Like his other changes, including the curtailing of overtime resulting in the widespread mail delays and sudden reorganization of the entire USPS, it is possible to see some semblance of corporate logic while second-guessing the decision to make drastic changes on the eve of the presidential election in which the USPS will play a critical role.

Most of the machines being dismantled in the facilities Motherboard identified are delivery bar code sorters (DBCS), into which letters, postcards and similarly sized mail (but not magazines and large envelopes, which are categorized as “flats” and sorted differently) are fed. The DBCS sorts the mail into one of hundreds of “stackers,” a slot about a foot long. Each slot is for a different destination, be it another post office or distribution facility.

A DBCS typically requires two workers to operate: one to feed the mail into the machine, and the other to collect the mail from the stackers and put them in the appropriate bins for transport. Running at peak efficiency, the machines can sort about 35,000 pieces of mail per hour, a remarkable and oddly mesmerizing feat. But during times of short staffing or low mail volume—both of which have occurred during COVID—DBCSs can be run with one and a half or even just a single worker, albeit less productively.

Marketing mail is down more than 15 percent through June of this year compared to last year. While this is a much steeper drop than recent years, it is continuing a decade-long trend of mail volume decline for everything but packages. In other words, DBCSs have less mail to sort than they ever have before and it’s far from clear how much of that mail is ever coming back. So it stands to reason the USPS might not need as many of them.

The postal workers interviewed by Motherboard understood this, and in some cases even made the argument some DBCS machines might be of better use at other facilities. But they had other concerns about removing the machines altogether. If something goes wrong with the DBCSs they have left, there are fewer machines to pick up the slack.

“When you take out one of the machines, it takes away our ability to respond to unforeseen things that may happen,” said Karol, who added that although her facility in Waterloo will have other DBCSs, having fewer of them “limits our ability to respond” by making adjustments and moving mail around.

Paul McKenna, president of Milwaukee Area Local 3 of the American Postal Workers Union, said that some of the DBCSs staying will have about 50 more stackers added to them, meaning the machines can sort mail to a larger number of destinations. This will help alleviate the pressure during high mail volume periods like the Christmas rush—when there is simply more mail in general to all places—as well as provide advantages during lower-volume periods like the dead of summer. But it won’t necessarily help the unique challenge of election mail. In that case, the mail surge stays local.

Some letter carriers and distribution facility employees told Motherboard election mail is often sorted by hand to ensure it gets handled promptly and properly, but this seems to vary by location.

That being said, this would only be a problem for voters who waited until the last minute to send back their ballots. If mail-in ballots are sent and returned over a period of weeks instead of days, it is unlikely, the postal workers said, to stress the machines even if some are taken away.

“We would have the capacity to run the volume of ballots that are expected if we have it in a longer period of time,” said Paul McKenna, president of Milwaukee Area Local 3 of the American Postal Workers Union. He likened it to flattening the curve of coronavirus. Now, he said, Americans have to flatten a different curve."

They provide no talking points, no production value.

Judge orders Trump campaign to produce evidence of voter fraud in Pennsylvania

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/13/politics ... index.html

"The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the claims and defenses in this case," District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan wrote on Thursday, telling Republicans that they need to provide evidence of fraud to the Democratic Party and the Sierra Club, which are part of the lawsuit.

The Democrats had asked for information and documents that would show steps the Republicans took to study the possibility of fraud, especially related to the use of dropboxes, ballot collection and mailed-in ballots in the primary elections.

The Trump campaign and Republicans had refused to do so. But with Thursday's court order, they must answer questions from the Democratic groups and turn over records of communications -- or say they have none. The Trump campaign has until Friday to respond, the judge said.

RVAT is a fake front; if you're a fake, I'll reserve the right to call you out no matter if you are Jesus Christ himself.

None of these so-called Republicans ever were Republicans in any real sense, and they were never conservatives. Who's funding this deception? Hint: it's not Republicans funding this.

From following a few of the Lincoln Project men on Twitter and reading the things they write, I have a hard time figuring out the answer to these questions, mostly because it’s hard to distinguish their takes from a banal MSNBC liberalism. It’s easy to see what they hate about Trump; it’s harder to see, for their present personae, what they ever liked about the Republican Party or conservatism.

There's too much data anymore, all saying whatever we want it to say; I don't even follow anything Covid anymore. All I know is no one I know has been sick, tested positive, or god forbid died.

DeSantis has been a champ, as we all know.

What I do know is none of you yankee jackwagons will accept my kind anymore in your state without me spending 14 days holed up inside a room in a house, and I can come out only if I test negative. We will turn about this rather unfair play in the Fall when you light up again and we are in a good place.

Man, I hope you aren’t in charge of engine maintenance because you seem not to have any attention to basic detail. The article you posted — Ross Douthat’s review of Stuart Stevens’s book — says nothing about RVAT. Douthat makes clear that the Trump form of GOP is completely untethered from “conservatism” or the accompanying principles that made the GOP a party worth joining and supporting. You have instead sucked on the hookah of “beat up the libs,” shorthand for divide and rule, without any principles, solely to exercise the spigots of office. You accommodate this President only by denigration of more than half the country, and by your mutual flawed characters.

South at ends the article thus:

“The Republican Party became Donald Trump, in the language of Stevens’s subtitle, not because of conservatism’s inherent depravity but because its would-be statesmen failed these tests — failed at governing, in the years of George W. Bush, and failed at campaigning, in the doomed runs of John McCain and Romney.

Those failures brought dark things to the surface, and I have no quarrel with what the strategist class has to say about the particular depravity of Trump or the moral compromises of his admirers. Nor do I object to their attempts to cut ads that they think will bring him down.”
