there's an old saying, "Don't fight the fed".  which basically means when the Fed puts about $3 trillion into the economy to provide liquidity you go with the flow.

But to take this as a victory or think the Fed without additional rounds of massive funding can revive the economy, and keep retirement assets afloat, may find themselves, pissing into the wind.

Trump should be awarded Nobel Peace Prize...for brokering that Peace and Love deal between Israel and the UAE.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facing public pressure and state lawsuits, the Postmaster general announced Tuesday he is halting some operational changes to mail delivery that critics warned were causing widespread delays and could disrupt voting in the November election.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said he would “suspend” his initiatives until after the election “to avoid even the appearance of impact on election mail.”

The abrupt reversal comes as more than 20 states, from New York to California, announced they would be suing to stop the changes. The states, along with lawmakers and others, want to ensure voters are able to use mail-in ballots if they prefer to avoid polling places due to health risks from COVID-19...


Looks like "being silly" got the job done.
Silly and stupid.

There is nothing silly nor stupid about fighting to save our democracy.

So the PMG backed down, but dollars for forever stamps (inflation) Trump will find a way to contaminate this election.

He is a corrupt cheating motherfucker who cares less about democracy than our in-house Hessian.

Trump said this today on mail-in voting

“Universal is going to be a disaster, the likes of which our country has never seen. It will end up being a rigged election or they will never come out with an outcome. They’ll have to do it again, and nobody wants that, and I don’t want that.”

if he losses, it doesn't count, and he wants a replay until he gets the outcome he needs?

what is this the '72 Gold medal game US against the Russians?

It just might be.

I strongly suggest waiting to see how it works in reality vs. how it works on paper, based on past MidEast accords. Israel, among others, is not known for keeping their word under this (Netanyahu) administration.

This is the kind of thing that the US could have implemented, but has chosen not to.

Black babies are three times as likely to die when cared for by white doctors.

Adults too, believe it or not.

I personally shifted my primary care from Georgetown to Howard.

I figured the orthopedists would most likely have old black grandpas so when I said I’m in pain they would believe me.

Best move I ever made.

Faith.  Family.  Freedom.  Hope.  Opportunity.

Trump and the Republican Party.

Welcome, independents.  The choice is obvious for this year.  Last night was Exhibit A.

Yes.

Faith, family, freedom, hope, and opportunity are all on the ballot against trump and the republican party.

It’s good to know you clearly understand what you are giving up with your continued support of trump.



You’ve really captured the fool.

File under who do you think you're fooling...

Quote
  President Trump is giving a “full and complete” pardon to famed suffragist Susan B. Anthony, who was arrested in 1872 for violating laws that permitted only men to vote.

In an appeal to women voters, Trump announced the pardon on the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which made universal suffrage the law of the land. He made the announcement in the Blue Room of the White House where supporters, some of them wearing sashes that read “Votes for Women,” stood behind him and first lady Melania Trump.

“She was never pardoned,” Trump said. “Did you know that she was never pardoned? What took so long?”

And never one to leave well enough along, in that same presentation attacked Michelle Obama for being in over her head.
