The news needs to become more boring.

That is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Washington Post :: Postal Service memos detail ‘difficult’ changes, including slower mail delivery

Congress authorized the USPS to borrow an additional $10 billion from the Treasury Department for emergency operations in an early coronavirus relief bill. But postal leaders have yet to access the money over disagreements with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who attached terms on the loan that would turn over operations of much of the Postal Service to his department.


.....

The changes also worry vote-by-mail advocates, who insist that any policy that slows delivery could imperil access to mailed and absentee ballots. It reinforces the need, they say, for Congress to provide the agency emergency coronavirus funding.

“Attacks on USPS not only threaten our economy and the jobs of 600,000 workers. With our states now reliant on mail voting to continue elections during the pandemic, the destabilizing of the post office is a direct attack on American democracy itself,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. (D-N.J.).

I think Trump needs to take that cognitive test again.

I'd like to show him where the hands of the clock are that point to "No Trump O'Clock".

Is This Roger Stone and Proud Boys Flashing a White Power Symbol?

Spoiler Warning: yes it is.

Hard? It’s not hard for people to throw coronavirus parties either. That was never the point.

One of the big issues, is everyone is afraid to enforce the rules in a meaningful way. If we did that, didn't allow people going about without mask and such, maybe we could do this. But so few are meaningfully enforcing the rules, and then they end up with the crazy person that goes viral on the internet.

A proper lockdown followed by everyone doesn’t need to last long to eliminate most of the virus. Instead at this rate it can go on indefinitely as there are always enough idiots not playing ball.

Yeap. If everyone had truly locked down for a 2 months, then the federal government mobilized testing and more importantly contact tracing, we would be done with this by now.

But because idiots think government wants to track their movements and stifle their freedoms, we will continue to suffer for it. People put individualism ahead of societal benefits too much.

That's the real dumb position Trump placed himself in by downplaying all this. The quickest, most efficient way to reopen the economy was to take this all very seriously from the start. But he turned a pandemic into a culture war, that forced him to downplay it all. Just look at how treated wearing a mask for so long, until right now. Should have been doing it from the start, Lone Ranger.

New Zealand locked down for four weeks and has zero active cases.

Sinister stuff. Suppress anything that makes them look bad (which is a lot of stuff).

Trying to rush the economy back after downplaying this from the start leaving in no position to do it, is sinister stuff. Doing that while trying to hide the facts and figures? Monsters is too nice of word for them.

The only question is whether or not anyone will be able to figure out what he's talking about.

He didn't......right? This is the guy who said Biden has cognitive problems and can't put a sentence together.

Children are dying because they can't go to school? The teachers and students are safer at school during a pandemic?

I would say he stuck his foot in his mouth, but I don't think he's ever removed it.

One of Trump's favorite go to BS arguments is that people are killing themselves by not going out.

And in another concerning note (as if 2020 hasn't given us enough to deal with already), we all need to pray, send positive thoughts, whatever ritual or superstition you have to promote good thoughts/vibes/luck, to RBG. For goodness sake we cannot lose her this year
