Do it. Take action. Engage in the battle.

As Robert Reich wrote so brilliantly. Republicans know how to fight - Democrats know how to govern. It’s time to fight back.

I have been reminded that what DeJoy is guilty of is not homicide.

It’s genocide.

For a second, forget about the niceties of the denials and word-salad from Trump. People have died, are dying and will die because of DeJoy’s actions.

Nice virtual convention you are trying to put on there Donnie … sure would be a shame if it got pushed into the background by sick veterans and senior citizens testifying to congress about how terrified they are that you are destroying the US postal service … and they can’t get their medications … and they may die…

Yeah… sure would be a shame.

Meadows is a boorish, churlish man who enjoys being so. Setting aside his positions, beliefs and motives…for those who do not like being around such people, Meadows is really hard to take.

Madam Speaker,
A six week recess right now is wrong. Not when the country is on life support that is failing rapidly.
… … …
(CNN) President Donald Trump sought to reframe the fall election two days before the Democratic National Convention, arguing on Saturday that key economic and pandemic indicators were moving in his favor, while attempting to shift blame for US Postal Service funding problems to Democrats and refusing to acknowledge his administration’s efforts to undermine the agency three months before Election Day.
… … … …
Just three days ago trump admitted publicly to starving the post office of funding so as to control the election

There was a kidnapping. Hundred were loaded on trucks and hauled away. Some of the victims are being deliberately disabled so they can no longer keep this great nation’s commerce and elections going strong. What would Ben Franklin and the Founders have done?

Hell, what would Jesus have done? What did our parents and grandparents do during WW II?

Republicans are trying to kill the economy. That’s the message.

But those of us who are over 70 should be willing to die so we can reopen the economy for our children and grandchildren. DeJoy is just doing his part so we can fulfill our patriotic duty.

Hey, didn’t 45*'s brother finally die so he could infuse a little cash into his brother’s account? Why can’t you be happy that kids are inheriting a little earlier?

I don’t know anything about Trump’s younger brother and don’t intend to do anything to alleviate my ignorance on that point, but as sure as the sun rises in the East the wrong Trump died.

Tapper had me cracking up when he hit meadows with the fact the only person hit with voter fraud was in his state of North Carolina from the office of Congressman Mark Harris.
