Sweet Jesus, just how fucking stupid can one human being be?!? We are less than a week into Trump’s autocratic attempt to stop mail in voting by gutting the post office, and already the Democrats in congress are the least of his worries. Not far.
In the noon Pacific hour, 3 PM Eastern, Brian Williams of MSNBC had retired U.S. Army General Russell Honore, the Hero of Katrina on to discuss Trump’s tinkering with the post office to try to alter the validity of mail in ballots. Honore was coldly outraged. He spoke about how he, as a veteran, relied on timely postal delivery for necessary medications to his door. Honore noted that only today, facing a delayed shipment of medications, he had been forced to make alternate arrangements and drive to a Walgreen’s to get his prescription. He angrily decried the similar situation for his brothers and sisters who wore the cloth of this country, but didn’t have the option of going to a drug store for a refill.
And apparently Honore isn’t the only veteran who is mightily pissed. Veterans share a nostalgic bond with the post office, they are the ones who made sure that letters and cookies from home got through, and made sure that their absentee ballots were delivered in time to fill out and return. And the others who are equally pissed off are the ones who have the money to put where their collective mouth is. Earlier today, votevets.org released a blistering condemnation of Trump’s antics;
And veterans aren’t the only ones who have a distinct fondness for the post office. We have hundreds of thousands of active duty military personnel who are posted all around the globe. Their families are aware of the basic time frame for delivery to these locations, but still depend on a timely hand off to assure that even non perishable baked items arrive while still good. And let’s not forget the tens of thousands of career foreign service officers scattered around the globe. They depend on the postal service for timely transfer of their packages from home for delivery to the FPO’s where they are posted.
I find it almost inconceivable that any one person on the planet can be this fucking stupid. Trump and his campaign are obviously in full out panic mode, And in their feverish panic to stomp out brush fires, they are completely ignoring the law of unintended consequences. And with this stomp, they are alienating two reliably GOP constituencies that they can’t afford to piss off when the rest of the planet is already against them. What a way to run a railroad. Keep it up, genius, you’re knocking it outta the park!
To know the future, look to the past.before the insanity of the 2020 election, relive the insanity of the 2016 GOP primary campaign, and the general election, to see how we got to where we are. Copies of President Evil, and the sequel, President Evil II, A Clodwork Orange are available as e-books on Amazon, at the links above. Catch up before the upcoming release of the third book in the trilogy, President Evil III: All The Presidents Fen

Great video. Where is it playing?
By the end of today? Probably everywhere on social media.
Dunno…I saw it on the 11th hour last night…
You think he’s TRYING to lose?
No, it’s a very desperate bid to try to cast doubt on the validity of the election. But he has soiled his hands to deliberately cause the doubt. So the courts will not be sympathetic to him. At least if the supreme court has any integrity left at all.
Very little…Why they don’t just install Roland Freisler and be done with it already.
Recent decisions, Wolf, tell that they know Trump’s 15 minutes are nearly up. And they WANT to be around for a more competent fascist to show up. But CCR called it back in the day: Someday never comes.
No, I actuyally think that he’s just so stone stupid that he doesn’t realize that his actions have concequences…Think this gives Jamoe Harrison a nice boost in a state like South Carolina, with a ton of military bases???
When that idiot traffic cone currently occupying the Oval Office refuses to depart the WH (you know he’s gonna), I nominate General Honore to be in charge of effecting the traitor’s removal. The General saved my town when everybody else was blowing their shit and doing nothing: I’d trust him without reservation to get the job done right the first damned time.
With all due respect to the General, I’d rather a volunteer army handle that one. I assure that there will be no shortage of potential recruits.
They’ve been working to kill the post office since 1970. It’s just overt now.
The post office would be immediately profiotable if they just got rid of the insane law that required the post office to fully fund pension accounts, even for people who didn’t work there yet…
As a veteran, who had five uncles serve in WW2, a cousin & uncle serve in vietnam, a dad in the air force, etc., this man is a traitor & has committed treason. As has been observed time and again, an empire falls from within. Time to fight until fascism no longer runs our country.
‘Sweet Jesus, just how fucking stupid can one human being be?!?’ .. you don’t really expect an answer.. TY Murph sharing all over.
