I still can’t wrap my head around such a stupid belief.

Has he taken that dementia test? I'd recommend it.

I posted a video a while ago entitled "Trumps funniest moments" or something.
It was just trump asshole moments. It seemed to be posted in earnest judging by the comments. Trump supporters have some serious issues

He really wants to control this

Now Trump going after election drop boxes on twitter.

@realDonaldTrump
So now the Democrats are using Mail Drop Boxes, which are a voter security disaster. Among other things, they make it possible for a person to vote multiple times. Also, who controls them, are they placed in Republican or Democrat areas? They are not Covid sanitized. A big fraud!

He is of course lying again ("The lying. Holy shit"). And boy I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the Conway house during meal times:



Kellyanne voted by mail.

Well it's pretty obvious that in states where the elections are controlled by Republicans, they will be doing their best to remove them.
If I was American, I'd almost wish the army would step in.

Only speaking for myself here but I’m not voting for Trump, Biden or Pence ... I’m voting for Harris. Take that however the f&¥# you want.

The way the GOP are trying to gut voting, you'll be lucky if you can cast your ballot for anyone, let alone expect it to be counted.

It's like people emigrating to New Zealand to get a back-door easier entry into Australia.

Vote Biden and you know Harris will be President eventually. Nothing wrong with that. Well, the voting thing, not the emigration thing

Jaysus, it's like some failed banana republic isn't it.

Sent a dozen letter size financial documents via Thai postal service: Bang Yai City Post Office to New York City. Cost THB 260 registered mail.

Slow boat to America - took seventeen days. Complete and post your ballot as soon as received.

The US would be demanding the UN or other impartial observers to be sent to any country trying to subvert elections like this

Some mildly interesting diversionary scuttlebutt...

Kellyanne Conway's daughter announced on Twitter she's taking a break from social media for 'mental health' reasons, George Conway announces he's stepping away from Twitter and The Lincoln Project to 'spend more time with the family', and KAC herself is leaving the WH end of the month.

Another twist in the soap opera of one of the weirdest family dynamics played out in public ever.

One with a tinpot dictator.

she claimed she was filing for emancipation from her parents...which allegedly caused the conways to step down.

call me a cynic, but this strikes me as a very opportunistic move by kellyanne.....she can read polls better than most, and it doesn't look good at all. i'd love to see some of their internal polling...i'd bet it's worse for trump than the public polls.

Well if they are doing it to support their daughter, that's commendable.

The Adams Family in real life.

Yeah, her daughter's taking a break from twitter and starting University.

From home.

Must be another one -- the Twitter one, Claudia I think, is only about 15 or 16 years old.

The information I posted has been sent to me by an overseas voting organization. I have also received a call from Democrats Abroad confirming the same information. I have also tried on two occasions to post voting registration requests to the US at my local post office in Surin and have been told that standard mail is not accepted, only registered mail, which was quoted to be 800 baht.

^ Just providing my latest experience with posting mail from Thailand to the USA.

Fuck these trumpanzees...

Postal workers in Washington State have reinstalled high-speed mail sorting machines—dismantled after controversial orders from the U.S. Postal Service— despite USPS orders not to put machines back in use.

Since being appointed postmaster general in May, Louis DeJoy, a prolific GOP fundraiser and Trump donor, has enacted highly controversial changes to U.S. Postal Service protocol that workers say resulted in massive delays in mail delivery, including cutting overtime for postal workers, the nationwide removal of mail collection boxes and decommissioning or dismantling of hundreds of high speed mail sorting machines across the country. The changes have led to widespread fear that the Postal Service won’t be equipped to handle the millions of mail-in ballots expected during the November election. Democrats on the state and national level have filed lawsuits against DeJoy, the USPS, and President Donald Trump arguing that the changes are an effort to curb mail-in voting during the November election. DeJoy testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Friday and is expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday.

Washington Postal Workers Defy USPS Orders And Reinstall Mail Sorting Machines

To be clear, the reason that normal postal service has been curtailed between the US and Thailand has nothing to do with policies of the USPS or the federal government. It is because Thailand has closed itself off from the US for normal air cargo operations that handled mail services.
