As posted above, this whole damn administration can go straight to jail for insider trading, conflicts of interest, and all the other shady, illegal shit they're pulling as soon as January 21st hits.

You know it's a lie/made-up conversation when the person says, "Sir, ..." That appears to be his telltale fabrication of a conversation. That, and the fact that he's speaking.

Crazy on top of crazy on top of crazy. I get it.
But I still smile at the idea that a random charity telemarketer just called up the White House and got patched through right to the President. |

OK, this thread is pretty interesting.
What caught my eye is the following:
Because I posted this on August 6th in the Random Things thread: Quote:
So, I suppose that package is an exact example of what this thread is talking about. Not Amazon, low priority, but I'm guessing the USPS tracking on my package was accurate in that it it showed the package sitting in a backroom in Lexington for about 10 days instead of just some generic "processing center" somewhere.

Conservatives need to understand that relitigating the Charleottesville speech every time it's brought up only reminds people of a speech you'd like them to forget.

Listening to this, I actually think DeJoy could make the USPS more efficient. Problem is hes a Trump Snake who is doing exactly what he’s being accused of.

@Ksyrup,
This same thing happened to us a few months ago, I think. My son traded in his car in Virginia where he is stationed. He couldn't find his title so he ordered a new one from Indiana. It came here and my wife sent it over night USPS. According to the tracking, it 'sat' at the Indy airport for 8 days. Then magically one day it showed as arriving in VA and getting delivered within 20 minutes.

That said, of all the things that come with the job, the protocol that the President is always addressed as "sir" or "Mr. President" has got to be REALLY high on this narcissist's short list of things he truly loves about being President. I'd think that any time he tells a story, lie or truth, he's gonna stick that in there because he loves people having to give him a respectful title sooooooo much.

The lack of shame some of these senators have with their “questioning” is downright condescending to the American people. Dem senator asks very reasonable question about data and how much analysis went into these changes with regards to the effects on vets, seniors, etc. Then the republican from Wyoming comes in and claims DeJoy should not be responsible for fixing the post office in his first 60 days. Perhaps he also should be expected to not make it worse. He then goes on to ask how much analysis can you do in the first 60 days. Well perhaps then he shouldnt have made the changes without proper analysis? It’s clear the right is taking the track there were issues before he took over.

If all of this was in place before DeJoy, there should be plenty of documentation. Dems need to demand the plannining memos, the implementation timetables, etc. I expect none of this exists, but if he's not lying, none of this happens without written planning and orders.

I don't think we're talking about the same 'this'. It's not just COVID. It's about culture in general, what KSyrup said, etc. Even on COVID, I don't think your statement here is accurate but it basically goes back to Burke's quote from centuries ago. You can't be free and not be moral/responsible. You have to take both of those or take neither. Self-evident to me that the US and at least most of Western societies are on a path to neither; some of them aren't on the path, they're there already. |

In a normal presidency it'd be worth discussing the Administration trying to use mechanisms of enforcement of a deal they unilaterally terminated and how insanely stupid that is, with this one it is either just normal stupid (doing away/not bothering with stuff that turns out to be consequential, not a new one) or part of a perverted strategy that set this exact scenario up to play the "you soft europeans, how dare you side with the evil Iranians ?" card to show with what stupid people (read: anybody not bowing to Master America) Biden wants to align himself with.

I would argue we are closest to the US, but less partisan politically, so that has helped us. I would also suggest most, if not all, European countries are significantly more personally responsible than the UK, and even more so compared to the US

The USA is hardly similar the the Netherlands. Especially not in political system, but also in handling the COVID-19 situation. Public disobedience is very similar though, probably more disciplined in the USA. Over here it's almost like there never was a corona virus, despite that everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who got it really bad.

Honestly, from what I heard of today this was actually a lot better than the usual grandstanding. While the GOP senators would never bring up the mail fraud aspect, I think they are all aware that there are very real issues that their constituents are pissed about. There was far less righteous indignation than usual. |

I'ts funny this came up because here in Kentucky, our Rep's wife died suddenly about 2 months ago. Andy Barr's wife was in her late 30s and died of mitro valve prolapse one evening. This was about a week before our primary. Anyway, it was terribly sad, he has 2 young kids and she died out of nowhere. His challenger even pulled ads out of respect for him, etc. He's been fairly quiet the past couple of months but of course he's in a race so he came out with the first ad I've seen since she passed. And it's literally nothing but a rehash of her death and how terrible it has been for him and his kids. I definitely expected that, but then a pivot to "and she believed this and that and I'm running to continue the values she believed in, etc." Nope. None of that. Just "I want you to remember my wife died and here's some sad pictures of me and my poor young kids alone and vote for me." It really turned me off.

What's amazing to me is that the man in charge, who can quite literally get to the bottom of anything with investigations and powerful allies, is complaining that the "deep state" is actually in charge and someone needs to get to the bottom of why people won't let him do what he thinks they need to.
It's like the 27 Yankees complaining that baseball is rigged.
