From CNN: Monday's ruling was issued without comment or noted dissent. Hmm...

See, that's something Piranha would never get away with. So despite what they say, we're not there... yet.

Postmaster General Taunts Dems: You’re Stuck With Me for Good

How the fuck does this guy still have a job? Oh, right:

[...] because the postmaster general is installed by the service’s board of governors—and not by the president—it means that President Joe Biden, or Congress, cannot fire DeJoy even if they wanted to.

His removal would only be possible when Biden fills Democratic vacancies on the USPS Board of Governors, which has the authority to hire and fire postmasters general. Confirming those spots in the Senate will take time, though the Washington Post reported on Wednesday that Biden has identified three nominees to move forward.

Re-enforcing his complete lack of spine.

I'm having a hard time understanding that, after his Impeachment speech. Now we are getting into Graham turnabout territory.

Skuj · 02.27.2021, 03:29 PM

Part of me is "Please, PLEASE keep embracing Trump". Because, you know, a 75 year old incompetent racist asshole is the future of the GOP!!

Skuj · 02.27.2021, 04:14 PM

I'm sickened and thrilled at the same time, when I observe CPAC being a Trump love-in, complete with propagation of The Big Lie.

Maybe I am wrong, but I strongly feel that all of this will lead to the destruction of the GOP.

Skuj · 02.27.2021, 06:31 PM

(Last post today, I promise.)

Didn't CPAC used to represent the rank and file Conservatives? When did the Loonies take over? This is a fucking cult.

Given how much politicians seem to get re-elected, chances are they just evolved.

Nothing about drone strikes here? No?

more strategy than politics proper? to my understanding that was merely tit-for-tat aka "proportional response" to unclaimed rockets in iraq.

Your political system in the US is really outdated with just the two parties. So it would be good if both parties would be split up in two or more parties. But the problem with new parties is often that after a while that there will be conflicts and it will split up again or implode completely. Or the new party is so eager to get representatives in every city or state election that they don't do severe enough background checks and soon enough the person needs to resign because the Twitter or FB history shows he's really a neo-nazi. Pretty sure that will happen if Trump would get his own party.

Over here we have elections in two weeks for House of Representatives and there's 37 parties to choose from. THIRTY SEVEN !!
And some of them are splinter groups of other imploded parties (e.g. JA21 is split from Forum For Democrazy)

See/Translate this wiki page for an overview of all parties
