The Biden administration should have gotten rid of DeJoy 4 years ago.

He got the job by being a big dollar donor for Trump. That is not an acceptable qualification to be given control of a critical part of our national infrastructure like the USPS.

I know the President doesn't directly appoint the Postmaster General. But he does appoint the Board members. And he could/should have found a way to boot DeJoy out.

I just put my mail-in ballot in the Maryland Board of Elections drop box!! 😀 👍

Proudly cast my blue votes for the Democratic candidates for:

President/Vice President
US Senator
US House Rep

Let the blue wave begin.

Good grief.

The richest country in the world having the worst healthcare is totally unacceptable.

This should probably be one of the highest strategic priorities of the new Harris/Walz administration.

Consuming, what passes as, the news today is sooooo frustrating.

Words have meaning.

When Trump says immigrants are pouring into the country by the millions, performing violent crimes and eating family pets,

the "news" media say it's a "false narrative".

Noooooo It's a lie - a big, fantastic, stinky lie told by a racist and a fascist.

#politics #newsmedia

The MSM shift their focus to this developing shit-show and Trump's comments about them. Harris stories move to page 2.

Trump now controls the media narrative. Check.

You might think the proper conclusion would be that our MSM is stupid and easily manipulated.

It is. But there is a more frightening one:

Rich owners of the MSM know an election with a photo finish and the threat of domestic violence will generate more viewers than a Harris blowout over a an old, senile, idiot.

2/2

So let me get this straight.

Trump is losing. The MSM are all writing about Harris and her rising popularity.

Trump's team invents a ridiculous, stupid story about immigrant violence in a midwestern red state town.

Trump's minions begin calling in bogus bomb threats at schools in this town.

Local authorities are forced to take extreme safety measures; locking down schools, etc. making the whole story seem real.

Well it was good to see the Commanders with a home win. It's that time once again that I feel optimism. Seems like I would know better by now. 😧

But there is a new owner, GM, and entire coaching staff. And I feel like this rookie QB is a special guy.

Still, it seems like I've been here before. 🤔

I've been waiting so long for season 2 of "The Old Man".

And omg @Maude it's just as captivating as I'd hoped. The show didn't miss a beat in continuing this amazing tale.

The storytelling, the complex and fascinating characters, and the beautiful and haunting scenery of the backstory in Afghanistan are mesmerizing.

It' absolutely the best espionage show I've ever seen.

We desperately need to (re)establish news as a PUBLIC SERVICE rather than ENTERTAINMENT.

That means permanently removing the tag of "NEWS" from Fox TV shows. But it also has to include major reform of some kind for all MSM outlets.

One of the many structural components of our democracy that is in need of maintenance.

If you're like me you just want to scream at all the media pundits on this morning after the debate.

Far too many are scrambling frantically in an attempt to stem the rising tide of inevitability surrounding Harris and Walz election in November.

It just can't be a watershed election for Harris and other. Democrats. Because that's bad for viewership and circulation.

I have nothing to say about the Presidential debate this evening except,

"Wow!" 😀

The race should be over. She wiped the floor with him.

#harristrumpdebate #politics #harriswalz

I can't help it. I'm getting excited in anticipation of once again, seeing Steve Kornacki at the Big Board. 😀

Anyone who can do math in his head on live national TV is my hero. 👍

Bring on the blue wave!

Here's the headline I'm expecting to see in a couple of weeks in the NYT and WashPo:

"New polls show Harris up 17% in Michigan and 16% in Pennsylvania but well within the margin of error as race stays tight in the swing States." 🤪 🙄

The MSM can't stand to report that Trump's campaign is falling apart and Harris' is taking over the country.

I mean that would be favoritism, right? 😜

Hell, last week DICK CHENEY endorsed Harris. The blue wave is coming. You can feel it in the air. 🤗 👏

Optics are important. 😞

This sentencing delay by Judge #Merchan sends an unmistakable signal that

#politics are more important than law enforcement

and

#Trump is above the law.

It seems to me the elephant in the room is the 2nd Amendment to our U.S. Constitution.

Red Flag laws, universal background checks, assault weapons bans, etc.will all likely run smack into conservative judges (SCOTUS is filled with them) who will say, "Oh No! Everyone has a right to own a gun in America".

Until we face the root of the problem, we can't solve it

The 2nd Amendment is an anachronism which must be repealed.

#gunviolence #2ndamendment

I'm so sick of public officials who say, things like, " ... we need common sense gun safety regulations. It's not about taking guns away from people"

YES, IT IS, AND SHOULD BE ABOUT TAKING GUNS AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

If people don't have guns, they can't shoot anyone.

There are more guns in America than people.

There is virtually no reason most people in our country should own a gun of any kind.
