@laura-f Well, in that case, it's a possibility! I just wrote that because Congress certainly could have jailed all the people who refused to testify and withheld their salaries. They didn't. Their reasoning was they didn't want to make them martyrs, but it would have been great to get some of them under oath.
@dhyanaji T himself voted by mail last time. And it was probably fraudulent, because the Mar-A-Sinkhole address he listed is not a legal residence. It is officially classified as a "club", (and apparently also the entrance to the bottomless pit).
@dhyanaji -- I've got two observations, one about Biden's health, and the other about the GOP peeling away from T. First, Biden is a smart guy, and dedicated. If he thought he was sick, he wouldn't have run. He knows the US needs a president that can stand up to the challenge that awaits us post-T. His energy is lower because he lost his son Beau, and that broke him in many ways, and because he is older, but I don't see him as sick.
As for the GOP peeling away, it's happening already, but you have to look closely. The polls aren't looking good for T but he can still pull it off. As it become increasingly clear he can't win (if that happens, which I believe/hope will be the case) those politicians who want to have a career post-T will start backing away. It's all self-interest with those. Once you start to hear more of "I stuck around for the good of the country" stuff to explain why they stayed close to the administration, you'll know it's happening. Some folks have been saying that for 3 years, but look for more of them as it becomes clear he won't be the next prez.
Happy Thursday all!
@dhyanaji I don't think Biden is frail or sick. He is just not a hoppity rah rah type. He's quiet and thoughtful. He's been deepened by tragedy and it's been made harder with his son constantly under attack. But he is neither sick nor frail. The Republicans would love to play that card -- that he's sick or frail and weak. He's not. I have tuned into him and I see him as soulful, thoughtful, and up for the task. T on the other hand looks not only sick but his froggy face is so puffed up that I wonder that he can even see out of his eyes.
The third secret had to do with men needing to repent to overcome the threat of Communism and the evil of Russia. It goes on from there but had to do with religious persecution. The Pope was interviewed in 1980 and said the antidote to evil is prayer, and if the letter said anything about oceans swallowing up countries and millions of people dying, there would be no point in publishing it because people would believe they couldn't change anything. There are many sensationalist rumors about it; when I was a kid it was about China.
@dhyanaji
T has a new Post Master General, Louis DeJoy
Louis DeJoy, a top donor to President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee, has been picked to be the new head of the U.S. Postal Service.
I can only imagine what kind of problems this is going to cause..voting by mail, Amazon shipping charges and what else.
Trump has long railed against the Postal Service, particularly claiming the agency has been swindled by e-commerce giants that use the post office to send out millions of packages, such as Amazon.
