Postmaster General, Trump Donor, Dumps Top Postal Execs as Election Nears


Dems need to be screaming at the top of their lungs about this NOW!

President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. Postal Service isn’t up to the task of handling mail-in ballots in the 2020 election. He has also refused to seek extra funding for mail delivery in this election year.

And the major supporter he appointed to run the USPS is making it even harder.

“Postmaster General Louis DeJoy unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s mail service” on Friday, “displacing the two top executives overseeing day-to-day operations,” along with 21 other top officials, reports the Washington Post.

Why am I hearing some Biden supporters are afraid of him debating Trump???

I am looking forward to the debate. Biden did great in the Democratic debates against much smarter people. I realize Trump is unorthodox but Hillary wiped the floor with him and now he has 4 years of total disaster to try to defend. Biden will have all the scandals, atrocious data etc. at his fingertips. He sometimes gets tripped up on a word or two but he remembers all the important points. Trump's mental decline has accelerated probably because of the barrage of political attack ads as his self centered brain is overwhelmed and shorting out. I am sure Biden will be working with a psychologist to know just got to get under Trump's skin and rattle him. This is different from 4 years ago because now his ego has to defend the pile of shit he created which I think will be more apt to get him upset. Also, I think the guy from HBO showed how to handle him. If Trump says something idiotic like "Look at the books" then Biden follows up and asks him "What books what the FUCK are you talking about, that makes no sense?". Biden won't have to be as nice. He can be a pitbull. I also think Biden comes across more macho than a lot of the Republicans Trump debates. Trump made Marco Rubio, Jeb, Ted Cruz etc. look weak. Biden doesn't ever come across as weak and I think he will look more "Alpha dog" than Trump which is for some reason really important to a lot of folks.

What states are opening schools normally and not following CDC guidelines?

The photos of the Georgia HS hallways crammed with kids with no facemasks makes me think Covid is going to absolutely explode in areas that are treating it like that. We are opening schools at a time when cases are near an all time high in the US. Holy shit! No hybrid, not following CDC guidelines or anything in some areas? This is negligence on a criminal level for those areas and they should be highlighted along with those who are in leadership there.

Trump mocked after holding another rally where barely anyone showed up



Donald Trump arrived in Tampa, Florida on Friday where he is participating in a private fundraising event and somehow managed to hold a mini-rally on a runway.

The president wasted little time in Florida and launched into an impromptu set on the tarmac which reportedly lasted for 30 minutes. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Trump warned supporters of what will happen should Joe Biden win November's election, which has dominated his rhetoric in recent weeks.

Trump's team were clearly expecting a big turn out for president otherwise he wouldn't have given a speech and there wouldn't have been the number of security barriers put in place, because only a dozen or so supporters actually showed up to see Air Force One touchdown in the Sunshine State, as these pictures show.
