KURT SCHLICHTER: The Post Office Conspiracy Is First Class Stupidity.
The specifics of the alleged plot, to the extent you can identify them, are puzzling and elusive. What exactly is Trump going to do again? Is he going to order the mailmen to toss ballots in the shredder? Seems like it would be hard to pull off that flex with all those crack journalists out there. We are also told that he is rounding-up blue mailboxes from America’s street corners, and that this has been going on for a couple of decades is only further proof of his evil plan, somehow. What is not clear is how this might work in practice – so, the idea is that the Democrat voter comes home, ballot in hand, weeping because there are no blue mailboxes anymore to place his ballot into, and then he walks back inside his house past … his own mailbox? And then he just gives up? He sits at his dinner table, head in hands, sobbing at his inability to figure out how to drop a piece of correspondence into the postal system? . . .
The real conspiracy is the Democrat establishment’s scheme to force you to pay to keep the teetering institutions it controls, like the post office and academia, on life support so that necessary change – which will disrupt those feeding at the institutional troughs – can be staved off for a few more decades. Democrats are the party of the status quo, the bloated, inefficient, parasitical status quo. They hate Trump, and you, precisely because Trump, and you, insist on upsetting their cushy arrangements.
So, as for Trump trying to destroy the Postal Service as currently constituted? We wish.
Indeed. Also, no one seems very interested in the corrupt history of the postal monopoly.
I’m not as gloomy as I sound; far from it. Generally cheerful but occasionally, suddenly, I’m just pissed, to be honest. Every time I go downtown to the empty building – no coffee shops; closed for The Duration; new restaurant that was going to open on the skyway level is still closed; the vast atrium deserted – I get angry, and there’s no place to put it.

But it’s not a compensation for not being able to go inside the store. When will that change? Don’t know. No one knows. We’d all be better if we had a date. A precise day. October 14, 11:23 AM, everything is back to normal. I could take that. You could take that. We all could take that, but I think around the third reset of the “two weeks to stop it for good, this time” we let that go.

YES. NEXT QUESTION? New Guidelines Recommend One Alcoholic Drink A Day. Is This Stealth Prohibition? “These arbitrary selections all appear intended to support claims made by members of the DGAC prior to appointment, rather than as systematic and transparent reviews of existing scientific evidence … we view the limited, arbitrary, and unsystematic evidence reviewed in the draft proposal as insufficient to warrant any meaningful changes to the 2015-2020 DGA that have served Americans well.”
BANNON INDICTED, ARRESTED BY NY FEDS FOR ALLEGED DEFRAUDING DONORS TO ‘WE BUILD THE WALL’ GROUP:
Former White House advisor Steve Bannon has been indicted by hyperpolitical, anti-Donald Trump prosecutors at the U.S. Attorneys Office in the Southern District of New York.
Prosecutors sent officers to arrest Bannon and three others, including the head of the “We Build the Wall” organization, for allegedly siphoning off hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay the head of the organization. Prosecutors allege that the group had said the group’s founder, Brian Kolfage, would not receive a salary.
The news release issued Thursday morning made sure to include the fact that investigators for the U.S. Postal Service Inspection Service helped investigate the case. Democrats have made the USPS a campaign issue because they’re agitating for an all mail-in election. President Trump has vowed to stop increased funding for the post office to fund a mail-in election predicting it would be nothing short of a disaster and a formula for fraud. The postal workers union endorsed Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden for president.
