Baby
Talk
You know how when
you, say, teach an
8-year-old about
the technical side
of procreation and
later you overhear
him telling a friend "Then
the boy puts his
peanuts in a girl's
banana and after
a long time you get
a baby."
That's t-Rump.
For instance, he
recently said "They
don't have the money
to do the universal
mail-in voting. So
therefore, they can't
do it. How are they
going to do it if
they don't have the
money to do it?"
This is t-Rump paraphrasing,
to the best of his
limited ability,
Steve Bannon explaining
to him in gleeful
detail how starving
the U.S. Postal Service
of emergency funding
will make it impossible
for the agency to
handle the huge influx
of mail-in voting
made necessary by
the pandemic.
t-Rump didn't have
to make any public
statement about mail-in
voting at all, but
he's like that kid
with a little bit
of information that's
too complicated for
him so he tries to
act smart by childsplaining
it to everyone.
He does this all.
The. Time.
If t-Rump repeated,
word-for-word, everything
Bannon explained
to him the White
House would have
been a smoking ruin
a long time ago.
But t-Rump's English-to-Idiot
translation works
to remove the hard
edge to his conservative
voters, making him
seem folksy and approachable
while he's actually
telling them to grab
their ankles and
take a deep breath.
The rest of us understand
exactly what he's
saying, which is "Hey?
Wanna see something
cool I can do with
gasoline?"
(For the record, "Steve
Bannon", in
this case, is an
amalgam of Vladimir
Putin, Steve Bannon,
Stephen Miller and
whichever Koch brother
hasn't yet been dragged
back to Hell by Satan.)
--------------
t-Rump's pick to
run the Postal Service,
Wormtongue DeJoy,
is removing sorting
machines from post
offices. That's like
removing the scanners
at Piggly Wiggly
and going back to
individual price
stickers on your
canned tamales. DeJoy
says it's to make
the mail more cost-effective.
Uh-huh.
But, wait....
He's removing the
sorting machines.
Where are they going?
Oh, they're just
surplus now. Probably
going to be bought
for pennies on the
dollar by some new
private equity firm
that specializes
in, uh, sorting the
mail.
You see where this
is going, right?
The USPS is not just
the people who deliver
our bills and checks
and medicines and
packages, it's a
LOT of valuable real
estate people like
Trump can't wait
to start slicing
up and selling off.
Jared and Ivanka
will be first in
line, no doubt.
That is, if they
get the chance.
Call your Republican
Senator right now
and yell on him,
or her. This can
be stopped but only
if we speak up.
Call the Capitol
switchboard at 202-224-3121
and ask for your
senator.
