Just another reason why you'd be an idiot to trust Donald Trump's Postal Service to deliver your ballot unless you are a lifelong registered Republican

I have a bad feeling about this. Sauer does not press that issue I mentioned to you a few days ago about the failure to get the opinion from the Commission. But he does push ripeness arguments even though the rule will decide for the states who gets to vote by mail. Pitchforks and torches time.

The new postal rule was up for public comment. The comment period closed in the last few days. (I submitted one.) What I am getting at is: once the rule is promulgated, as I expect it will be, won’t this “take it to the commission” argument deprive the courts of jurisdiction to enjoin the rule?

But the postal rule that enforces the EO … would that not be subject to the same procedural roadblock cited by Rao?

Rao being a partisan hack? Say it ain't so!!

So does this mean that the new "we will allow the Postal Service to deliver mail-in ballots, but only in red states" rule (oversimplifying, but not by much) cannot be invalidated before the November elections? Because if so, people should take to the streets, and pitchforks aren't enough.

Eh, just not in the mood to argue about this again. No offense to you, I promise.

Eh, we don't have to get into a big fight about it, but it happened a lot more recently than that. The behavior of the press regarding Mitt Romney was a joke, as many admit now. I agree it's not a justification for Trump's corruption.

(I don't really care about soccer at all but if I can upset some 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Patriots 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 on here for 30 hours or so by cheering on a European country, I think it will be pretty funny.) (Plus I hate corruption.) Go Belgium! 🇧🇪

Except you I mean

LOL @ the likely reaction here to "Republicans were treated unfairly by the media for years" They were. Just like people on Twitter will scream at me for cheering on Belgium, y'all can scream at me for this. LOL I am here to antagonize literally everyone. Why bother being on social media otherwise

“But the red card was unfair!” Yes. It was. And Republicans were treated unfairly by the media for years. So fuck the rules. It’s our side’s turn and who cares if it’s corrupt. Right?

If you want to know how Trumpists can hoot and cackle over their side “winning” based on corruption, just look at the universal smirking of Americans over the FIFA decision. Go Belgium!

I thought it was too. But rules are rules and corruption is corruption. I'll be cheering on Belgium.

You don't have to do anything. The team doesn't have to play Balogun. I don't have to root for the U.S. against Belgium and I won't. Go Belgium!

I will now be cheering against the United States in the next World Cup game it plays.

It's good not to discount the country entirely because of Trump. But ignore the feel-good messages that treat him as an unimportant blip. Go into this holiday proud of what ought to make you proud, but aware of the country's major flaws, with a mindset that we must fix them. 2/2

Patriotism feels nice. Saying patriotic things makes you feel good. Much about this country is great. But people who tell you to forget about Trump this weekend are wrong. He has exposed major flaws in our constitutional system, and has revealed the electorate as unserious. /1

OK fine: "at least" three votes
