@moonbeam @triciact - the Lincoln Project and other Repubs for Biden have made clear that they are all in - meaning that anyone like Haley who has been a Trump enabler is their target as well. Unlike Kamala - "Nikki" (whose real name is Namrata) has changed literally everything about herself to appeal to the "hard right" base. IDK even know what she actually stands for at all - she's a chameleon who shifts colors when convenient and depending on what is surrounding her. She doesn't stand for anything authentic - and more people than ever are aware of it now. She lacks empathy and compassion and those are qualities that I believe folks are really longing for right now.
I wonder if anyone else here sees this (I am sensing something about the USPS situation). I feel like Jeff Bezos or his ex-wife might try to help the post office by infusing money to them. Just something I am sensing ...and wondering if anyone else does too?
@triciact, hmm ... that's an interesting idea. I'm going to pull some cards later today. I'm still a novice with reading them, but let's see what I come up with.
@seeker4, it's hard to say how P would react. On a personal level he might feel very offended, but if he believes it's part of a bigger plan? P is part of that group of "Christians" who believe that T was chosen by the Almighty as part of a divine plan. I once read in The Atlantic that P believes in a scriptural concept evangelicals call “servant leadership." T. offers a kind of salvation to both P and the religious right, because their ultimate goal is to establish a government based on their understanding of biblical law. So T is the imperfect vehicle through whom they hope to achieve that goal. In their warped view, the end justifies the means.
I don't know what is in P's heart, nor do I know what he's really thinking. Underneath his potted plant demeanor, what I do sense is that he's ambitious as hell. P would probably love his Master to be booted out of there, so the Servant could take over. I have a feeling that P believes that HE is actually the Chosen One!
I agree with you about Haley and I always sense a ruthlessness about her, that and powerful ambition. Haley overcame her distain of Trump to become an ardent supporter and I believe she stepped down from the UN ambassadorship in order to position herself politically. If Trump is going to replace Pence with her, we should know by next week since that's the Republican National Convention.
Funny you mention Bezos because my son and I were just discussing the possibility of Bezos aiding the ailing USPS. Bezos ultimately would like to be completely independent of the USPS, but for now, Amazon is still heavily dependent on the postal service. The thing with Bezos is that he holds things tightly until he's ready to act. There are not a lot of leaks that come out of Amazon.
@deetoo I find it so interesting how easily these so-called Christians associate themselves with immorality and dirty tactics "in the name of the Lord." Yeah, Right. It should be CLEAR by now that Trump has no intention of establishing a government based on biblical law. Most people believe that Pence's ambition is driven by his wife whom everyone in the WH including Pence call "mother". And, if I'm correct, I cannot imagine what it is like for him to go out and lie for Trump when he knows better. It's also interesting that some Republicans did wonder if they would have a better chance of keeping the WH if they impeached Trump and replaced him with Pence. However, they were also aware that Pence was no shoe-in. Poor things--they have no honorable options. Based on the membership in The Lincoln Project, the number of Republicans speaking at the Democratic Convention, and the number of Republicans who have formally left the GOP, they don't have too many good options.
