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.

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.

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

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
