Nah, it's okay. I'm just going to get all my hair cut off.

I mean it this time. Better to purge my hair than give life to the dark s-hit.
Just booked my appointment. You know how they say when a woman breaks up a relationship she changes her hair style? Yeah, well I'm breaking up with all this bulls-hit.

I've been sitting here cutting my own damn hair for how many months now while Trump f-ucks around with the American public and I'm "safer at home" or in the "vast great outdoors"?

Yeah. F-uck this s-hit. This is how a Jersey Girl does a purge!

Do I LOOK bipolar to you? Nah. Pixie with fringe. I've got a pic on my phone that I just tried to find again online but cannot. But who knows. My appointment isn't until the 25th so by then I might go full on Sinead!

Seriously, and I know this is girl stuff. I've been cutting my own hair since I dunno, April? I've cut it three times. It's down to my shoulders. I flat iron it straight. I buy additional product to do that. It's a freaking ritual to flat iron long thick hair. But...so far as I am concerned, I've been doing my due diligence being "safer at home" like a good girl. And now I'm done. If it ends up looking like s-hit who cares? Grows fast anyway.

F-uck this s-hit. Off with it! I have hats! :lol:

Unfortunately, the Republican Senate will back Trump on the disabling the Post Office to help him retain his dictatorial reign. I am assuming that some of the military will support him in this coup.

(At the risk of being falsely accused of being a Trump supporter,) I read the article, but I didn't see the part wherein he openly admitted to sabotaging the post office "to boost his re-election chances." Will someone please show me where he openly admitted that?
Your problem is one of literalism. You tend to take what you read/hear at its most elementary face value rather than the underlying point being made. If you knew Trump, you'd recognize it absolutely was an admission of sabotage for his reelection chances. You missed it because you were sitting there waiting for those exact words to happen.

From Politico:

The day before publicly opposing funding to accommodate an expected surge in Americans voting by mail in this year’s presidential election, President Donald Trump requested a mail-in ballot to vote in Florida’s upcoming primary.

Subs and Ajax are strangely quiet about this. Has Breitbart not made up a defense for this yet?

According to Larry Kudlow, democracy is on the leftist wish list.

I mean, they should just come out and admit they want to convert the US to a theocracy.

Christ, this admin's supporters are morons. It cannot be overstated.

That is the most likely explanation. Thinking for themselves is anathema.

Is that your only sticking point? Why do you think he's trying to do this? He thinks he can fear-suppress the vote of millions of Americans and that what he's left with are his loyal supporters who would follow him over a cliff if he wanted them to. He doesn't give a s-hit if voters contract Covid-19 and spread it to their families and communities. If he gave a s-hit about the pandemic, he'd have a nationwide strategy in place for testing and tracing now 7 months down the road from onset. It's no skin off his nose if voters actually DIE on account of the election.

He's desperate to keep his corrupt ass out of jail. That's why he's doing this. He's willing to openly cause the destruction of an American institution/agency and let American's drop like flies in order to save his own ass.

We here in Colorado have our ballots mailed to every registered voter. You can also vote in person but I've never done it. We have a mail-in system here that works perfectly well.

Is he going to also try to f-uck with our state's system? Think about that. If he tries to disable the USPS and the mail-in systems in the States, what's next? The absentee ballots of the U.S. military?

There's no end to this little ball of yarn. He's desperate and I think he'll stop at literally nothing to keep his ass out of jail. Because he's a sleazy whore and a coward.
