Does This Pass the Smell Test?
I suspect there is waste in the US Post Office, just as there is in the same service in most countries, and in most government run agencies and departments. Many of my peers in retirement with friends who were civil servants are envious of their pensions and early retirement. I wish I had followed their lead.
Something smells however when the new Postmaster General decides to hurriedly implement some of these changes that entail removal of post boxes and sorters at this strategic time. It REALLY smells when POTUS himself said he would try to hold things up to disrupt mail-in votes and DeJoy supported Trump financially. Everybody seems to agree that many of those votes will favour the Democrats if they arrive in time.
If DeJoy wants to be credible he should not only hold off on changes until after the election, but restore any items he removed. What are a few more months in the grand scheme of things?
This is like politicians talking about deserving an increase in compensation for a long time and then pushing it through just before an election. It is hard to undo later.
Tonight the Republican Convention begins - it will last four nights. That is very relevant since The Donald has slated himself in to speak all four nights and he only has two feet. He can put one foot in his mouth the first night; the other on the second; shoot himself in one foot the third night (hopefully after extracting both of them from his big mouth) and lastly shoot the other on the fourth.
It is a good thing there is no fifth night because he would be out of feet. Since his mouth would likely be sore from the feet or spewing too much BS, he would then have to talk out of another orifice.
Sorry for that image but you should be used to it by now.

What's in a Name?
If you look in the archives of both parties, you will find the etymology for the name of each - R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N and D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-I-C. They are both short forms. Each long form says a lot about the party in question.
(FYI: This IS fake news but don't tell you-know-who)
R - Rambunctious (Red-neck had not been coined yet)
E - Extroverted
P - Providential
U - Unadulterated
B - Bigots
L - Lacking
I - Impartiality
C - Contrition
A - And
N - Neutrality
D - Dogmatic
E - Energetic
M - Mishmash
O - Of
C - Caring
R - Rambling
A - Angelic
T - Theoretic
I - Idealistic
C - Cheerleaders
If you think this really is fake news and not just tongue in cheek humour, you need to get a life.
How about some of yours?

No Masking the Truth Either Donald
DJT is finally starting to allow himself to be seen wearing a mask when he thinks it will benefit his image - not his health or yours. He is wrong - dead wrong - about masks NOT helping with this virus. For sure however, he can not mask what is happening to his reputation and the public's opinion of him.
People are social distancing from DJT-2020 as well as Covid-2019. Let's hope they also wash their hands of him. The same goes for other countries. We have all heard the promises he made in 2016 and has not kept including divulging his tax returns. The same goes for the lies he has told numbering in the five digit range.
So let's try to shed this should be American and world leader in another light so that maybe more will finally see that light.
If you are honest and answer YES to any one of these 10 questions, how could you vote for him?
- Would he insult another woman the way he did Carly Fiorina in the debates?
- Would he insult another disabled person by mocking them the way he did a reporter in 2015?
- Would he cheat on his wife if he thought he could keep it hidden?
- Will he try to portray Biden's mild stutter as incompetence?
- If he is ever in a disaster will he ignore the code "Women and Children first"?
- Do you think Putin has something on him?
- Is he the only President you can think of that other world leaders have openly laughed at and mocked - even abandoned?
- Will he still lie during another campaign and if he is re-elected?
- Be really honest here - do you think he is a racist?
- Do you think most of those around him are racists
None of these should get a YES for a U.S. President. Put somebody in his place who fails with a perfect zero %
