The Trump administration has missed its own July 1 deadline to print the paper forms needed for next year’s Census, NPR reports. A website tracking the progress of 2020 Census materials shows they’re yet to be officially approved by the White House's Office of Management and Budget, which is headed by Trump’s acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney. Justice Department attorneys said Monday that the administration hasn’t yet decided whether it’ll make another legal bid to force the addition of a controversial citizenship question to the Census form, after the Supreme Court last week shot down the administration’s dubious rationale for it. The count is still scheduled to begin in January in Alaska before rolling out to the rest of the country by April, but the printing delay for some 350 million forms could affect that schedule. On Monday, President Trump said he was looking “very strongly” at delaying the Census, adding that he wants the courts to “make a final and decisive decision” on whether the citizenship question can be added.

6. Uh huh

The democrats in congress don't have to do anything...especially when their nice cushy jobs are at stake!!!!

[stillcool]

14. interesting.

[TwilightZone]

12. How exactly is this the Democrats' fault?

Oh, right. Everything is.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Exactly

Democrats aren't perfect (nobody is) but darn if people don't want to just s**t all over them all of the time when Trump/GOP takes another dump on this country and the Democrats don't respond in five seconds.

3. Purposely incompetent. . . . nt

[mopinko]

7. stupid wrapped in evil wrapped in hate wrapped in stupid.

i dont believe in stupid any more. too much evil has successfully disguised itself as stupid, and gotten away w it.
it's how/why the cons keep foisting brain damaged idiot puppets on the country.

4. Seems to me

If the Government can “miss” census deadlines, citizens can ignore it when it gets to them. It’s obviously not at all important the the current administration.

[JohnnyRingo]

5. Trump wants to see what Gorsuch and Kavenaugh think.

We'll have to wait to see if delaying the census is legal until after Trump is done wiping his ass with the Constitution.

[Faux pas]

8. Funny how

they were in such a huge hurry when they thought they could get the citizen question on it.

[shanny]

9. They probably assumed they'd get a favorable ruling from the supremes

and are now stuck with 350 million incorrect forms.

No wonder they are not ready.

[Faux pas]

11. You know they did!

Score one for we the peeps.

10. The REAL American Dictator

From the wretched, godforsaken hellhole of Stephen Miller:

No census. Cuts to all departments. Layoffs. Cutbacks. De-funding. No appointments (other than the turtle's Inquisitors). Empty, unfunded Departments (except for ICE and the new Gestapo). No money to take care of necessary government run agencies. No regulations being checked. Police out of control. Cronyism and nepotism rampant.

Well, there's no one here to make decisions so...
I guess Trump will have to take over the government AND MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS ON EVERYTHING HIMSELF because no one else is around!

Good job Herr Miller. Take a few Reichsmarks out of petty cash...unless all the money is now rubles?

Hey donny? Read a good book lately? The one about my, er..."your struggles?"

Hail Victories

Make America German Already

(Don't need to state it's sarcasm, right?)

13. trump is using Article 1 Section 2 for toilet paper

3rd paragraph says there will be Enumeration 'within 3 years of after the 1st meeting of Congress and within every subsequent Term of 10 years.'

Pile it on. Would love to see a bonfire on July 4th.
