"The August 2020 US Politics Thread is highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality. That's all."

or yknow whatever

"BREAKING: USPS will suspend any policy or operational changes until after the 2020 election, Postmaster General DeJoy says. https://t.co/FHVuZrgK2S
— NBC News "

Of course, given the assholes involved, this is truly a "trust but verify" situation, minus the trust.

Internal sources say mail sorting machines are being dismantled at downtown GR post office. Process started yesterday. Order came from Postmaster General DeJoy. @WOODTV pic.twitter.com/tNm9pXjcnU

a note that they did stop doing this, but not before it wound up all over twitter

Her note suggests it stopped since she reported it, five hours ago. (Her footage of the dismantled machines onsite was published four hours ago.) The dismantling only starting yesterday is a strong indication that even if it began an hour or so before DeJoy's media release claiming that the process would cease, that it continued after the press release.

Pelosi also says she spoke with DeJoy today, and as well as confirming that he had no intention of restoring sorting machines, mailboxes or other infrastructure, that he indicated the part of the release about overtime was a lie.

shame if he got stuffed into a mailbox

Several mailboxes in different cities would be better.

in envelopes that say "Atari 2600 - E.T. Cartridges"

What's grosser than gross, 100 DeJoses in one mailbox or one DeJos in 100 mailboxes.

Trick question, they're both gross.

This fucking idiot:

Trump, on Qanon: "I don't know much about the movement other than I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate" pic.twitter.com/qrfcCSDbNK

Pretty funny honestly

Are the pink ties a new thing? I know on the apprentice he’d wear em but I thought as president he was doing the blue tie or red tie.

I don’t get Trump’s Goodyear tantrum. MAGA is so old hat (cue for golf clap). Isn’t everyone supposed to be boarding the KAG train now?

(if only it didn’t move so damn fast)

He wore a pink tie when he was hangin' w/Epstein:

It was a signature look for a while but when he became a distinguished statesman he reached for less flashy apparel

“I don’t know much about the movement; I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate,” Trump said during a White House press briefing. “I heard these are people that love our country.”

“QAnon believes you are secretly saving the world from this cult of pedophiles and cannibals. Are you behind that?” a reporter pressed.

“Is that supposed to be a bad thing?” Trump responded. “We are actually. We are saving the world.”

Those pull quotes re:Q miss him musing their real deal is against the protests and Democrats running cities.

yeah, i was just about to say that! that's from the washington post. very shitty/sneaky editing job, the way they cut up his response without making clear that they were excerpting certain fragments of it.

JOHNNY MAGA MASK!

Trump Ass Coverings

very shitty/sneaky editing job, the way they cut up his response without making clear that they were excerpting certain fragments of it.

The thing that gets me is that I'd just seen a Q follower screenshot citing those same edited quotes as validation for their cause, very clearly ignoring that Trump has no idea what's going on over there.

i mean, i do think that was trump's intended effect - to be vague but to also say something to satisfy his new Q base (normal thing for 2020)

Fun fact! When I interviewed Brian Friedberg about QAnon on Facebook in June, he warned that Facebook absolutely needed to take action on QAnon before Trump endorsed it.

Looks like Facebook made it under the wire by 3 hours and 30 minutes. https://t.co/DgVh9sVJqJ pic.twitter.com/YuuvWXdO14

the straight guys here want to mock women, ok

lol you dimwit

Barack Obama's speech is awesome

I agree. Good results are hard and rare in this nation, but he articulated very well how any kind of good results can be achieved without tearing it all down to bare earth and trusting to rebuild something better on the wreckage and ashes.

good point xp

Did u call harbl a straight man?

i'm still confused, maybe he meant xpost
