So far, I have seen only one story about Kim Jung Uns’ decision to round up all North Koreas’ pet dogs… and nothing on the TV news. This is a horrifying story, if true, deserving of howling reproach..
Do these dots connect?
Martha McSally:
“We’re doing our part to catch up, you know, to get our message out. But it takes resources. So, anybody can give, I’m not ashamed to ask, to invest. If you can give a dollar, five dollars, if you can fast a meal and give what that would be.”
She gives the word "shameless" new meaning. With any luck, she will have the dubious distinction of having lost both Arizona Senate seat elections.
Support your local Post Office this morning:
Graphic by Move On, one of several printable for signs.
Today 11 am local time: “Save the Post Office” demonstrations in Denver, Golden, the Springs, Pueblo, and several other Colorado post office locations. Details are on the Move On organizing page, along with printable signs and messaging guidance. There are also “at-home” options to support the USPS, so you have no excuse to do nothing.
This is part of a unified national demonstration in hundreds of post offices, and is organized by Move On , with other organizations in a coalition, as well.
People attending should be masked, distanced, peaceful, legal, and nonviolent. I’m going to the Kipling/Alameda Federal Center branch. Move On is limiting attendees, so a given venue might show as “full”, but you can always drive by and honk and wave in support.
Background: Louis DeJoy, Trump’s Postmaster, has removed hundreds of mailboxes in urban (Democratic) neighborhoods, as well as 700 sorting machines which would normally be used to sort mail ballots.
DeJoy, in response to public pressure, has said that he wouldn’t remove any more boxes or sorters, but has no plans to replace any of those already junked. In addition, there was a shakeup of management and new rules for how long mail can be left undelivered. DeJoy denied any ill intent in hearings yesterday.
Most people see this as a voter suppression ploy, since more people will be trying to vote by mail this year. Slowing the mail will also harm those who gets prescriptions by mail, as well as income checks and other essentials. Massive public pushback is needed to thwart these efforts.
See you there!
I am soo getting this:

Our favorite deranged megalomaniac is replaying his same campaign pitch from 2016
And approximately 40% of Americans will gladly buy that snake oil all over again.

73 more days till we throw Trump out
With his simpering Ponce right behind.
His 20,000 lies came as no surprise
But Kamala and Joe have really shined!

(A ponce , in British slang, is a pimp.)
Never explain
make people look it up
No. Make it easy for the reader.
Ponce also means an effeminate man, a term that could offend some of our readers, and it’s important to indicate the meaning intended in the song: pimp.
No. Make the reader work.
Stave off dementia.
Reading your stuff is always work, dave. You are a very successful writer by that standard.😉😃
Looks as if there is going to be an effort to launch a new party: Convention on Founding Principles is a Project of Stand Up Republic, Stand Up Republic FOUNDATION, MAKE INTEGRITY GREAT AGAIN, Principles First, and The Niskanen Center. These Never Trumpers are holding a convention next week, saying
http://www.cfp2020.us/
Start time will be 30 minutes before the Republican Convention, e.g., 6:30 pm Mountain Time, Monday to Thursday nights.
Good. As long as they don’t register a candidate that will peel away Biden votes and risk another “Fiasco 2000” that will leave us with another four years of the wrecking crew. I’m not sure the republic can stand it.
[a]nd then he tweeted, “I barely know her”
Trump ‘Has No Principles’ And ‘You Can’t Trust Him,’ His Sister Reportedly Said On Tape
It appears they are going to try to sell the notion that Joe Biden is going to go so far left he will betray moderates who vote for him.
You reckon they can pull that off?
Normally, it would be too late in this campaign to define your opponent. But nothing is normal anymore and the inability of the media to avoid the lates BSO (bright shiny object) that dump throws them makes the time required to accomplish a redefinition has shortened to whatever twitter supports.
Besides that, journalistic standards no longer require what dump says to be true, just that it is true that he said/twittered it.

Comma La, Comma La.
She will prosecute a traitor and a thief here.
In 72 days he’ll be out on his rear.
And there’ll be no child molester
on the court where now they fester.
Not with Comma La, Comma La,
There’ll be cheer with Comma La!
What group was rioting in Denver last night? Boogaloo bois? I didn't hear any mention of BLM in the coverage that I heard.
Seems that the rioters did not want to be interviewed or make any kind of statement to the media but Support the Blue thugs were there and wanted to voice their threats of violence to the media. They were there to 'protect the police'.
You mean these scary terrorists here?
Postal workers and supporters rallied at the Post Office Downtown, and about 50 of us did the Ol’ Jeffco Smile And Wave at Traffic While Holding Signs action.
The postmaster at Lakewood came out to thank us, and all of the drivers of mail trucks were cheered, to big smiles of appreciation.
CBS covered it well.
It was part of more than 800 protests nationwide, involving thousands of people.
We are asking for mail-sorting equipment to be replaced, mailboxes in Democratic areas to be replaced, and corrupt Postmaster DeJoy to resign.
But maybe the Boogs and paid “Anti-fakes” heard there was a protest and came out at night, as they do, to destroy stuff and distract the public’s attention.
A post on Reddit advertised a protest in front of the Denver Police Department headquarters on Saturday evening turned violent and destructive. Nine arrests were made and one officer was injured, according to DPD.
Google Denver riots last night and you’ll find a pretty good account by Channel 7. Some goons came armed with bats and shields. No, they weren’t pro cop, they set fires and injured one officer.
Seems to have been a small hard core left group
NOT BLM. Sadly, the goons overshadowed the far larger pro post office demonstration.
Don't underestimate the power of Putin and others to create this kind of chaos.
This is, partly, a corollary to Bannons’ media strategy of “flooding the zone”.
Paid perpetrators? Likely. At least the leadership. Though, zealotry will go a long way…properly nurtured.
Ya. I did all of that before I posted my questions. And I think that I reviewed more of it than you did because later in the tape the reporter does a sidewalk interview with an anti-protestor (former military and former law enforcement) who claims that he and 40 or so of his friends have showed up to ‘protect the police’ and to deliver, through the reporter, several implications of violence to come that they will visit upon the protestors.
"Seems to have been". What evidence either way? It is easy for agents provacateurs to create chaos, so it is very important to not assume anything.
Remember the Umbrella Man smashing windows at the AutoZone in Minneapolis? The police have now determined that he was a White Supremacist.
"NOT BLM Sadly". I assume that you are missing some punctuation, unless you really mean this.
Specific to the possibility of agents provocateur.
Antifa is organized around the idea of aggressively confronting neo-fascists. The problem with anarchist groups is that anyone can claim to be acting in their name.
There is a lot of agents provocateur activity going on, coming especially neo-nazi groups like the boogers, the prodly boys, 3 percenters and white supremacist who have the specific goal of creating chaos and encouraging a race war.
NOT BLM period. Sadly, the goons overshadowed the far larger pro post office demonstration.
Martha McSally says that if people can't afford to contribute to her campaign, they should skip a meal and send in the money they otherwise would have spend on the food.
The world will be a tangibly better place when this monstrous piece of shit drops dead, but I'll settle for booting her malevolent sociopathic ass out of the U.S. Senate. Thank you, Martha McSally, for spurring me to give money to Mark Kelly's campaign.
Arizona's contest coverage in the local media included:
It was a bad joke that will live longer than her staff's apology for making it.
Sometimes you have to consider, too, that there is no such thing as a joke.
For her supposed donors who have to choose between food and other daily expenses would helping her campaign be wise? What's the return? More bootlicking?
Exactly so. Defending the indefensible is an integral part of a campaign manager's job, especially if one works for garbage like Martha McSally, but they really shit the proverbial bed on this one. I've heard the audio, and t'weren't no joke. More important, what sort of drooling moron fails to foresee that characterizing a comment like that as a joke makes it sound multiple orders of magnitude worse?
The breathtaking incompetence of the McSally campaign is cause to be hopeful for Kelly.
