Thank goodness for the amazing leadership of the Democratic Party who rushed to Washington to vote on an EMERGENCY aid bill to give the USPS $25 billion.
I’m so proud of Nervous Nancy. The post office had plenty of money and cash on hand to run through November 2021. They were financially sound. What was the EMERGENCY? Well, we needed optics that said “Orange Man Bad.” And this was the best we could muster this week after already expending all the convention saying he was racist and lazy and fat and dumb and incompetent and in bed with dictators and wasn’t nice.
“The post office will run out of funds in FIFTEEN MONTHS!! And TRUMP DOESN’T CARE!”
They had enough staffing to handle mail in votes. All was good, but spin the message that TRUMP and PUTIN are undermining the system – DEMS come to the rescue and SAVE!! YAY! That’s what politics are all about. Nancy is masterful.
What’s the deal with mail in voting? The problems of the recent elections with mail in votes held over the past few months had NOTHING to do with Trump or the Postal Sevice. Over half a million votes were thrown out for other reasons. Hmmm.
In 2016 there were super small margins in the states I need to win:
Michigan – 10,000 votes meant victory for Trump,
New Hampshire – 3000 vote margin?
Florida – 100k votes?
Pennsylvania – 44k votes?
I think there were many others with NARROW margins. What’s the deal with over 500,000 votes thrown out in the small elections recently? Could that be an issue on the National Level?
I did mention that on a Zoom call today. First, I thought I would get the week off because of the RNC, but apparently not. We were in the middle of a “Zoom team building” meeting where everyone got to tell a fun fact about themselves. I wanted my fun fact to be: fun fact, I don’t care. Instead, I said “fun fact – I’m concerned about mail in voting.”
After a bunch of snorts and chuckles, I was told we have 600 lawyers in the wings ready to fight everywhere. Because, yes, there would be chaos. We are counting on it.
Huh?
“Okie Dokie” is all I responded. What was I supposed to say? All of this is very confusing. Sounds very dubious.
Come on, man.
