The people I respect the most are sounding the alarm today about the Post Office

The topic is trending on bluesky and Robert Reich, Katie Phang, Marc Elias among others are saying that this is huge. They are trying to steal the election. If it wasn't clear before now, it should be. With the SC playing defense for them, the administration has been working in secret to rush through a plan to "verify" ballots that will result in all ballots in a batch being discarded.

We can not count on the corporate media to make this clear to the public. CNN seems to think some nothing burger story about Talarico saying capitalism can be oppressive is more important.

Thank you to the whistleblower. I hope Dems are able to use this information to at least make the administration's plans more difficult.

Hey idiots! THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES. They are NON-COMPIS MENTIS. Everything, EVERYTHING is either a fantastical fabrication or an outright lie.

Stop...just STOP for one frigging minute:

Ok ok, suppose you had an uncle and, unlike most of the people in your family, he really was a dope: uninformed and didn’t care, maybe he played cards all day or watched entertainment programs on the tv machine, or sat around on the front porch watching the neighborhood goings-on. His job before his retirement involved the execution of routine tasks which simply a required a human to place block A in hole B, and he was perfectly happy to do so for 45 years.

Now let’s also suppose that he develops a dementia of some sort: fronto-temporal, Alzheimer’s, whatever. So the family takes appropriate measures to protect him and themselves from aberrant behavior which might cause a catastrophe in the home and things settle into a form of normalcy. Ok ok ok….

Now, when he makes certain needs known, does that family member walk into the kitchen and say to the family, “Uncle Max wants us to get ready for Catherine Zeta-Jones’ visit. She might be coming to see him with Tia Carrere so we are going to have to clean up the house and wash the cars.”

No, of course not. The family member walks into the kitchen half-giggling and saying that Max is REALLY getting seriously out-of-it and maybe institutionalization will be necessary soon. Because that’s how normal people respond to senile and/or deviant thoughts and behavior.

But with this orange fool in the White House, all these politicians and media folk would metaphorically start dusting the place and vacuuming. “Today the President demanded…”. Today the President stated that GNP would increase by 20% if…”. “Today the President said that he knows more about (any subject under the sun) than anyone…”

Hey idiots! THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES. He is NON-COMPIS MENTIS. Everything, EVERYTHING is either a fantastical fabrication or an outright lie. He is Uncle Max waiting for Catherine and Tia. Jesus H. Kerist, wake the eff up and stop seriously cogitating about the merits of this imbecile’s utterances.

That’s all folks! I have spoken!

More than 180 Jewish entertainers and artists signed a letter Tuesday "proudly" voicing support for actor Mark Ruffalo after he was accused of antisemitism in his opposition to the proposed Warner Bros. Discovery-Paramount merger.

"We are Jewish artists, writers, creative professionals, faith leaders and thinkers who have, in response to the outrageous smear campaign against our respected colleague Mark Ruffalo, a simple message to share with the world: Enough!" the letter read, according to Variety.

"Enough with the false and dangerous weaponization of charges of antisemitism against those who are brave enough to point out the obvious: that the assault on the Palestinian people and the assault on our liberties at home are deeply interconnected, and there is nothing antisemitic about recognizing that fact."

Stoooooopid question time. Did anyone on DU offer evidence that the image was created by an actual Canadian and not a false-Maple-Leafing Dem Party operative? The image has no artist info, and the DU OP lacks a source link.
