We'll get back to you some time around February or April next year. Everyone good with that?

Better to win these lawsuits than lose them, but Trump has worked the system for decades, and now he has his own personal law firm called the Department of Justice, and he doesn't even have to pay the attorneys!

when you people have all of the correct and true answers and truly understand what's going on and how this mis-administration will just blow their nose on us and keep on doing the s**t that they always do and do so well.

Putin has taught him and the Russian mafia probably to ignore our laws. He's believing his BFF when his BFF tells him he's above the law. Hell, last three years proves he thinks this way. So does miller, Jarad and trumps paramour Ivanka.

We need to have the backs of those who are standing up for us, and taking the risks of taking on the fight against this maladministration.

It'll take another 10 days of planning on the part of the DA's to respond and then they'll give DeJoy another 10 days to comply again. RINSE AND REPEAT until it's the middle of October and the mail sorting machines are absolutely impossible to plug back in. Until there just aren't enough signature-verified, legitimate mail-in votes to provide the necessary electoral votes required for a Biden win. It'll be close and there will be some argument about it (maybe a riot or two put down by confused, dispirited national guardsmen and associated mercenaries) but the only way Trump leaves the white house is to have it burned around him. Got a match?

So that's the squeaky little finale to the American experiment. Ultimately it's just too much bother to save it.

Throwing away mail sorting machines and going back to manual labor.

Surely there must be a cost-benefit analysis to make such a business decision. Let's see it.

See, the cost-benefit ratio is extremely favorable (to DeJoy), with the side benefit that disenfranchising voters in the blue districts where this has been done will help tRump.
