It is the casual callousness that gets me

Looking at the Trumps efforts to delegitimise postal voting is a clear play for a man desperate to cling to power, when he knows if he plays fair he will lose, bigly. Of course, he is fucking this up like every other thing he touches, with large swathes of his poor red state voters being equally damaged by the bollocks they are trying to pull at the Post Office. They are playing with people’s lives and it is all part of the election coup plotting. It is the casual disregard that gets me. You know that not for one second did they consider the effects of slowing down the mail on the old, the vulnerable and veterans. That they cannot pay bills, or get their medicine on time, or receive their income cheques on time, all in the time of covid, speaks volumes of the nasty that comes out of the WH. They would happily see their core constituents suffer up to and onto death if they believe it will get Trump re-elected. Fucking Nazis.

It's in their DNA.

So miserable and greedy that they are hell bent on making life difficult for others.

I only did that to one other person (so far). Over the same issue. I can take all of your RWNJ bullshit but when you (a woman!) start with the flat-out sexist crap and calling the future VP a “hoe”, I AM DONE. This is someone I worked with and we got along great for almost 20 years. WTF is wrong with people.
