Trump Admin Planning Major Changes To 2020 Census Deadlines Amid COVID-19 Outbreak | Talking Points Memo

The Trump administration is planning major changes to the timeline for the 2020 census.

Plans for field operations are now on pause until June 1, while the counting period overall has been extended until Oct. 31. That amounts to a three-month extension of what was the planned deadlines.

Is it just me? Or does it look like the photographer interrupted Wilbur Ross while he was making a blood sacrifice?

So … will this make for a more accurate count or make more room for mischief?


RE Evil incarnate Wilbur … perhaps his diet is catching up with him. If he were smart he’d mix at least one of those with V8.

Looks like he should be sitting in the box at the Nuremburg Trials.

Yes Ross looks more like the Grim Reaper than this guy.


But that beggars the question if Ross is the Grim Reaper then what’s Mitch?

Wilbur doesn’t even look like he could fog a mirror.

I’m familiar with a muscovy duck


but not a mucoy turtle. Beside my muscovy duck is way cuter than Mitch.

That’s damning the duck with faint praise…

Hey if Trump has total authority to tell states to reopen does he also have authority to tell churches to start holding big gatherings too? Askin’ for a friend.

I wonder what will happen if Congress does not give them what they are asking for. Can you say “Constitutional crisis?”

Are there penalties for not answering the census and are they ever enforced? Today we got 2 census envelopes in the mail, both addressed to “Resident”, so we took one and left the other for our downstairs neighbors, along with their other mail (it’s a 2-unit building with a common mail slot so whoever gets to it first takes theirs and leaves the rest on the stairs). Several hours later I noticed that they took all their mail except the census. Knowing them, this means that they don’t intend to answer it, and of course expect us to throw it out (or else it’ll stay there forever). Perhaps it’s not my place but they’re horrible, awful people who treat the building like their own personal garbage can, are loud well past midnight, keep blocking others’ cars, and have a “not my problem” attitude. So, is there a way to report them? I’d be doing my patriotic duty and getting some kicks in too. I never said I was an angel.
