Bobstandard's JournalObama's take down of Trump is historic
No President has ever publicly trashed a sitting President the way Obama just did. Let other Democrats observe and understand that these times are different. The era of comity and deference is over. The gloves are off. Obama just confirmed that. He showed how all Democrats in office and in the public eye should take on Trump and his enablers. Truth to bullshit. No holds barred. Finally. Before it’s too late
We can't afford to vote by mail!
Yes, voting by mail would be safer given the threat of Covid-19
Yes, voting by mail would be a lot more convenient
Yes, voting by mail has been proven to be secure, efficient, and economical by multiple state over multiple election cycles.
But that was before trump.
Trump has installed a lackey as Postmaster General and he’s working hard and fast to make the Postal Service into an arm of the trump administration. Just today we learn that he’s fired 12 senior executives in the Postal Service. These are logistics guys, not political guys. Their entire professional skill set is how you make mail move fast around the country, and around the world. Going back to the time of Benjamin Franklin, the US Postal Service has been the envy of countries everywhere.
Those of you who still use it know that if you’ve got a late birthday card that needs to go from Kansas City, Kansas to your Mom in San Francisco, California, it’s probably going to get there in two days, thus saving your ass. Same thing if it needs to go from NYC to bum-f’ck where ever. Not anymore.
Trump’s new guy Is getting rid of expertise in the Service for one reason, to slow the mail and, especially, to be sure that when absentee or mail-in ballots hit the mailboxes, they get sloooowed. Or lost. Or whatever. But for sure, they don’t get counted.
Which is why we can’t vote by mail. There is just too big a chance that those ballots won’t be counted. We have to vote in person.
Yes, we have to crawl over broken glass to get to the polls. Yes, we have to personally take our abstentee, or mail-in, or early-voting ballots to our registrar of voters. The mailbox is now a black hole.
Ok, yes. I suppose that if you mail your ballot early enough, like this month, there’s a good chance it will make it. But do you know how easy it is for the PO’s automated systems to sort ballots, in their standardized envelopes, into distribution routes that are, shall we say, less than optimized?
But we can’t rely on that. We’ve got to plan for the guaranteed likelyhood that trump and his postmaster general will do everything they can to make sure that our mail in ballots aren’t received in time.
Plan for not voting by mail if there is any, any, way you can avoid it. It’s just to risky.
Click on trump ads! Make him pay!
Every time the trump campaign shows you an ad on a website, or in a mail or other web app they have to pay. They have to pay even more if you click on that ad. If you click through on a trump ad you you’re more likely to be served even more trump ads giving yoU the chance to click through more often and burn more campaign advertising dollars. In addition, your clicks will give Brad Pascale and the campaign a distorted view of how the ad is performing. All good things from our point of view!
So click through on trump ads every chance you get. It’s a great little way of screwing trump.
