Has flying flags for presidents always been a thing? I don’t remember flags flying for past presidents.
LOL, wat?
Trump is a fucking moron. A reasonably intelligent 10-year-old can conceive of anything his brain might concoct.
I think my 5-year-old could have come up with stop the post office from delivering ballots.
Of course but there are plenty of people in his admin who aren’t completely stupid. Lots of people would be super excited to have a right wing fascist government installed for the next 30+ years.
Sure, but it sounded like he was referring to Trump specifically.
Even the effect you’re talking about is probably more limited than you think. How many times on this forum have we said, that Trump’s only saving grace is that he is a lazy idiot, otherwise he could do ten times more damage? If he had many subordinates that were really sharp and evil, then said damage would have already happened despite Trump’s personal limitations.
in other words “I’m just covering my ass again if it’s hilariously wrong”
Thing is conditions have to be really specific for actually talented people with shit to live for to do the really really bad stuff. They have to be absolutely certain that it won’t blow back on them for starters. They don’t have to be right, but they have to believe it… or the risks of not doing it have to be crazy… or the rewards of doing it have to be crazy. All extreme edge cases. Really bad stuff is defined in this post as something X distance from what’s considered morally acceptable for the time period.
Trump is something new and staggeringly risky (Like I’m pretty sure there are narco traffickers in Mexico with a longer term career outlook than Madison Cawthorn). I stubbornly insist that one of the biggest reasons to not have an anxiety attack about the election right now is that nobody but dead enders is left on his team. If these people were good they’d be long gone. Nobody good has to put up with a guy like Trump for long. Eventually they all get to a point where it’s “What the fuck am I doing here? The is the worst job I’ve ever had in my life. This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever been anywhere close to and I’m getting out of here before this raging narcissist fucks something up spectacularly and demands that I lay down in front of the bus for him to drive over me.”
So I wouldn’t worry too much about wheels within wheels machinations from these guys. They just told every news outlet in the country they were fucking up the post office to disrupt voting by mail. Just to make absolutely sure that if anyone has any real difficulties because of this stunningly idiotic move (it’ll be 10’s of millions of people lol) they know exactly who to blame.

trump owes bernie a favor for this; he’s the reason BOG is full of trump appointees–instead of say removing the current dipshit in charge.

From The Heritage Foundation to Jason Johnson to wheatrich, really just crap filtering from the highest to the lowest levels of the propagandized. Presented without context of course.
Trump also owes Marx a favor because if Marx didn’t exit it’s unlikely Trump would.

When freaking PREET is sounding the alarm, aghast at the lack of more forceful action…

There’s so much to hate there. The article he links from The Hill is a concern trolling piece by someone from a libertarian think tank.

There were 2 rods!!
The first came from the power plant. Homer was the only worker who hadn’t won “employee of the week” so he thought it was his turn but instead Burns held up the green rod as the winner.
Then when Homer was in space he used an “inanimate carbon rod” to hold the door to the space shuttle closed, and that’s the one that got on the cover of Time. It was probably just painted green.
