They he's incompetent or deranged.

I don't think he is incompetent because he knows what he intends to do. He just goes by instinct based on what will fly with his supporters. Both sides appeal to their supporters by appearing to be victims of some hostile force--"storm troopers," "deep state," "media," etc.

Everyday I wake up to find my conservative friends have found some new group to boycott and dislike--the latest is MLB. Before that it was Nike, NFL,...
For liberals it is Goya, Hobby Lobby, Chick-Fil-A... Hate works.

The U.S. Postal Service is experiencing days-long backlogs of mail across the country after a top Trump donor running the agency put in place new procedures described as cost-cutting efforts, alarming postal workers who warn that the policies could undermine their ability to deliver ballots on time for the November election.

As President Trump ramps up his unfounded attacks on mail balloting as being susceptible to widespread fraud, postal employees and union officials say the changes implemented by Trump fundraiser-turned-postmaster general Louis DeJoy are contributing to a growing perception that mail delays are the result of a political effort to undermine absentee voting.

That will change when most of Trump's supporters, the Mask Haters, are sick at home for Election Day.

Hate works for Trump and his racist supporters.

Many states have switched to a mail in ballot system because of the pandemic. But...let vain people like Herman Cain die.

I've used "mail in ballot" for several years when I was younger. The last 20 years I've used Early Voting.

Under Trump, even had Cain lived, he wouldn't be able to vote for Trump from his sick bed.

No. The US Congress is the final authority in the election.

Congress certifies the election results. The administration of those elections is done by the states. Several of those states need to change their laws to tighten up mail-in ballot procedures like those states that do it properly.

Congressional legislation on elections applies primarily to federal elections. Only in the 1990s did we have federal law requiring U. S. citizenship for voting in federal elections.

Usually, but I doubt he really wanted to be injected with disinfectants. I doubt if he really thought there were 3 million illegal votes in CA or that his inauguration had a record turnout. He just makes that stuff up. I don't think he really thought Obama was born in Kenya.

Well, we disagree, I think he really does believe those things, several of his past cabinet members called him a moron and he pushed the issues with Obama for years. I think he believes what he reads that supports his values.

That's what you're inferring ?

Yes, from what you implied. Prove me wrong then. You stated, "In a Socialist economy the means of production is owned by the producers." I take that to mean that those that own the company or corporation own the means of production. After all, they are really "the producers." They are the ones that own the equipment and facilities, pay for the energy and materials, and then hire the necessary labor-- if any is required since today factories can be fully automated. Labor is really just another commodity when you think about it.

Who benefits from fully-automated production ?
 
I have seen reports that the post office is almost out of money and I have noticed with my mail service that the Post Office seems to be breaking down. Make no mistake, this is the result of at least three decades of Washington Failure.

It gets old watching either really stupid people or really dishonest people take problems that have been festering for decades and blaming it all on Trump.

It is a constant reminder of how badly America has declined.
