A thug in England is being investigated for just threatening to choke a suspect.

Changes to Postal Service suspended until after election

jeudi 20 août 2020 à 02:00

DeJoy said that "all changes being made to the Postal Service would be suspended until after the November 3 election."

Does this mean that the wrecker had given up on sabotaging voting by mail? That seems too good to be true. Is there a catch?

Does "changes being made" include the changes that were made recently, which have slowed mail delivery, sometimes by a week or more. If not, those could be enough by themselves to mess up the election.

*First-Ever Survey of Sanders Delegates Shows Views of Ticket: Half "Disapprove," a Quarter "Approve," a Quarter "Ambivalent".*

This refers to the delegates chosen by people who voted for Sanders in Democratic primaries and caucuses.

AOC rebuked the Democratic Party for cooperation with Republicans that are trying to define the Democratic Party as "centrist" (which means, plutocratist).

The wrecker wants to sell oil leases for the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve this year, to make it difficult to prevent future oil drilling there.

To stay within the carbon budget, We need strong measures to discourage all new fossil fuel facilities, and a heavy carbon tax. I think that they would make actual drilling in the remote arctic nonviable.
