    Maybe we should get rid of Luis De Joy and the rididulous law Republicans impleneted that required all employee pensions to be PRE FUNDED, so that private companies could complete with the USPS easier, and things would go back to normal, more reasonable rates and coverage. 

    Thanks, Dubya.

    I am cleansing with the democracy on trial frontline documentary. It has commentary but after 30 seconds of commentary there is original source material to corroborate. Refreshing.  

    For reference:

    This actually might be the thing that sinks his campaign.  We gotta have some video though. 

    Lol, right. The audio of his “grab ‘em by the pussy” comment didn’t do it. Video of him shooting someone on Fifth Ave wouldn’t do it. His base is bereft of standards, values, or fixed principles of any kind. No decent person supports Trump.

    Its sad but true. It also makes them totally predictable. There is no bottom. Nothing that will change their minds.

    But doesn’t God tell folks to sell or pack their shit up and wander the desert on the reg? 

    I don’t know about God. But Jesus did.

    Matthew 19:21 (New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)

    21 Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money[a] to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”

    Footnote:

    [a] 19.21 Gk lacks the money

    Ok I have a legal question I’ve never understood. Explain it to me like I’m 15:

    Forget that this Trump for a minute. Why does a DA care if some guy pays some ho to shut the fuck up? I keep reading about “falsifying business records”. I get that he called the payment a legal fee but to who? Who were these business records certified to that falsifying them makes it a felony? I mean I can call my ho payments whatever I want in my Quicken app and the DA wouldn’t care.

    Don’t get me wrong, I detest this cunt as much as anyone. But this one has alway felt like a reach from a criminal legal perspective to me. What am I missing?

    Why did Michael Cohen go to jail?

    Do you think election interference is okay?

    Not sure what’s confusing.

    This is why I’m not that worried about the MAGA masses.  The January 6 convictions/felonies/jail time/lost jobs/etc. is probably acting as both a deterrent to would-be future traitors, but also wrapped up some of the worst that would be likely to do something.

    The rest are going to sit at home on Facebook or TexAgs and just whine.

    MAGA just has a shitload of pussies that won’t show up to support him no matter how much he whines on truth.social about the Deep State fucking him.  Hell, these people are liable to stay home because they believe him when he says the election is rigged.  What’s the point of voting in a rigged election?

    Yeah but just because they don’t show up at the courthouse doesn’t mean they won’t show up at the polls. We can’t get complacent and overconfident. I think that’s part of why Trump won in ‘16. I can’t prove it but I believe he would’ve lost if they held a re-vote the day after the election. I think a lot of voters stayed home because they assumed he had no chance. I think a lot of them woke up the next morning thinking Hillary didn’t look so bad after all.

    I’m not suggesting you disagree but I think we must never lower our guard and should always take seriously the threat that Trump might actually win. No one can afford to sit on their hands. Anything but a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Donald Trump and against American constitutional democracy. We can’t assume the fascist sympathizers will sit at home on Nov. 5. We have to assume they’ll turn out and we have to show up ourselves because there are more of us than there are of them.

    Stay vigilant.

    That's going to drive him nuts.  I approve.

    He’s going to relish all the media attention and the free advertising of his rants about his victimhood. 

  8. I saw that interview. Sununu’s a fucking tool. One point he made repeatedly was that “it’s like reality tv” with Trump’s supporters, as if that’s justification for ignoring the seriousness of his crimes. What’s particularly galling is that Sununu knows it’s not reality tv. The reality of Trump is that he’s a criminal, totally corrupt, totally unfit for office. But Sununu doesn’t care because Trump’s supporters are living in their fantasy world so he’s going to live in it to. Because, you know…power.

    He’s setting an example that I still think Nikki Haley will eventually follow.

    Florida blocks heat protections for workers right before summer

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a law that prevents cities or counties from creating protections for workers who labor in the state's often extreme and dangerous heat.

    Two million people in Florida, from construction to agriculture, work outside in often humid, blazing heat.

    For years, many of them have asked for rules to protect them from heat: paid rest breaks, water, and access to shade when temperatures soar. After years of negotiations, such rules were on the agenda in Miami-Dade County, home to an estimated 300,000 outdoor workers.

    But the new law, signed Thursday evening, blocks such protections from being implemented in cities and counties across the state.

    Miami-Dade pulled its local heat protection rule from consideration after the statewide bill passed the legislature in March.

    "It's outrageous that the state legislature will override the elected officials of Miami Dade or other counties that really recognize the importance of protecting that community of workers," says David Michaels, an epidemiologist at George Washington University and a former administrator at the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). 

    The loss of the local rule was a major blow to Miami-Dade activists and workers who had hoped the county heat protection rules would be in place before summer.

    In a press conference on Friday, DeSantis said the bill he signed did not come from him. "There was a lot of concern out of one county, Miami-Dade. And I don't think it was an issue in any other part of the state," DeSantis said. "I think they were pursuing something that was going to cause a lot of problems down there." 

    But extreme heat will only get worse. "Last year was the hottest summer in Florida's history. And this year will likely be the hottest summer in Florida's history," says Esteban Wood, director of the advocacy group We-Count, one of the organizations working on heat protections in Miami-Dade. The new law, he says, represents "a profound loss for not only the campaign but for all the families that have for many years been fighting for the minimum—which was just water, shade and rest, and the right to return home after work alive."

    I didn't listen to it all, but I caught fragments of Trump's speech on the radio before I turned it off and ran some errands. I remember there was the stink of sulphur coming off of him, far worse than his usual shit-flinging.

    We saw it coming years in advance.

    What is trump going to say about this ?

    no way in hell putin is team isreal 

    Putin is team conflict - anything to distract the U.S. and cause division. He buys weapons from Iran and he wants to keep that pipeline alive and kicking. But he really doesn’t give a single flying fuck about who’s right or who’s wrong in the conflict. He only cares about how he can exploit it to further his own ends.

    Most of conservative America has never gotten over the election of Barack Obama. It’s the only thing that explains this obsession with black voter suppression.

    Most of conservative white America has never gotten over the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts. Reagan hated them. They’ve had an obsession with suppressing the black vote since emancipation.

    This is what triggered the snowflakes at Fox News (you can still buy the original, but Mattel released what amounts to a party version).

    https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68769981

    Here’s the segment, where they get multiple things wrong (games are still scored) because either they are fucking stupid, or they assume their audience is fucking stupid.


    And yeah, they make jokes about whether Stevie Wonder knows if he is blonde or not (not blind, blonde).

    Also, they are support that Mattel banned racial or LBGTQ slurs from the official tournaments.

    They know their audience, that’s for sure.

    Do they complain that it violates the first amendment? That would be on brand.
