    Might mean that the resource exploiters in Oklahoma have less clout and the state moves to a more cooperative and community oriented society.

    So you think a private company... UPS should be given 25 billion dollars?
    You think Pelosi has the interest of the people at heart here?

    nyc is asking for 25 million government funding to help ups. Funny that number.
    https://m.benzinga.com/article/15332095?utm_referrer=https://www.google.ca/&utm_source=https://www.google.ca/

    perhaps that this is to pay nyc the 23 million ups owes in nyc parking tickets.

    the treasury department back in April gave a relief package of 10 billion. Now they demand 25 billion and palossi is leading the charge on that. I really don’t get this tbh. Was mail speedy? The pandemic slowed a lot of things down and mail is one of those things, I know I have sent things to the USA and it has sometimes taken a month for it to arrive. Is 25 billion dollars, during a crash of the economy internationally something that can be done? But with the virus things are slow. everything is,

    is UPS a private company or is it government run? Here the post is government run. I think there ups is a private company? There are other companies as well that could be used for delivery. Does ups have a monopoly in the USA? But I do know that in order to get the mail in voting, a nation wide mail in voting... in November. It will be slow and the count might not even be completed by February. Then you have

    but as for mail in voting, let’s look at the primary elections in nyc which were mail in voting. 1 in 5 mail votes were invalid because of return addresses, forgot to sign, for something or did something wrong. They still aren’t completely decide and hope they will have a count in. November.

    I wonder how many mail ins will be invalid and I wonder how long it would take to get the count nation wide.

    Why the Botched N.Y.C. Primary Has Become the November Nightmare

    then you have a left wing operative who sent out fake mail in registration forms 5hat asked people for their social security number. This is going to make people feel secure in the election. Not sure what a partisan group is doing sending out mail in voter registration forms. I would have thought that the governmen5should supply an accurate official notice,

    oh... I see what @Tyrsonswood is saying @Beach Ball Lady Balls. UPS is not the same as USPS here... & I think that if Pelosi is talking about giving money to something, it's our postal service (USPS) she's talking about. :wink:

    I think that Biden is a humble but potent contender. I don't know what's going to happen though. I hope he wins. America needs this election to go his way.

    No, it's bigger than that. It's full National Sovereignty. They can issue license plates, property titles, marriage permits, and restaurant inspections. It's just like they are a free people all over a sudden. It's like the whites never killed their people, forced them to leave Indiana and Ohio, and never forced them to accept Jesus. In a few weeks they can invite people from Iraq, Bosnia, and Turkey to come and visit.

    I think it was Emma Goldman (a sort-of repentent communist) who said something like "the problem with you Americans is that you think the solution to every problem is to have an election." What happens if we have an election, Trump loses, but Trumpism is still alive and well, with Trump himself sitting out there stoking the fires waiting for 2024. I expect a hell of a battle between the Trumpites and the Never-Trumpers in 2022 and 2024 for control of the party. Or if Trump should somehow be re-elected but Democrats win control of the Senate and keep control of the House, Trump will be impeached again but still not removed from office because there are still not enough Republicans in the Senate who will vote for impeachment to get the two-thirds votes required (66) to remove him.

    If you have an argument for reparations, then make it.

    Seems your buddy Okiemingo agrees with me this time

    Elections are meaningless without the norms to support them. In the past, there's at least been consensus on those. One reason Trump and Trumpism are so dangerous is that they've chipped away at those norms. The alternative is violence and anarchy. For those who don't recognize Emma Goldman, you might mention she was an anarchist, which seems to be where all this is heading.

    Regarding reparations;

    Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee a democrat from Texas makes a very good case for reparations (you should listen to her arguments)
    and she introduced house bill H.R. 40 “Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act.”

    Lolz, from the first article you linked

    "Congress has allocated just $400m to help states run elections, a small fraction of the $4bn the Brennan Center for Justice estimates is needed this year. Many election officials are scrambling to figure out how they will run an election where there is expected to be an unprecedented level of mail-in and in-person voting. The lack of funding may already be having an effect; in Kentucky, the state’s top election official said this week he did not support expanding mail-in voting for the fall because the state did not have the capacity to do so."

    So, no Democrats worked this out 5 months ago

    Duh uh err, worldwide scary bat virus....tell everyone it's better they stay inside....in November a shitload more of them are going to do postal votes...duh uh eerr, who saw that coming....dun uh errrr...derrrr

    So disappearing Mailboxes is the Democrats new hoax

    Now that doesn't mean I'm calling mailboxes themselves a hoax

    I don’t agree with you but respect your opinion. You need him to win and others see it differently, :). It is all ok.

    ‘We’ll Keep Asking Every Week’: Chris Wallace Says Biden ‘Not Available’ For Interview


    Fox News host Chris Wallace said Sunday that presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s team told him the former vice president is “not available” for an interview amid criticism from conservatives and reporters that the former vice president avoids press scrutiny.

    Wallace conducted a much-heralded interview with President Trump last week in which he frequently fact-checked him and cornered him into making several shocking declarations–such as that he wouldn’t commit to accepting the election results in November.

    “Let Biden sit through an interview like this, he’ll be on the ground crying for mommy. He’ll say, 'Mommy, mommy, please take me home,'” Trump taunted in the interview.

    Wallace later told colleague Bret Baier, “The fact is, the president is out there. He’s out there in this broiling heat with me for an hour, he took all the questions. You can like his answers or dislike them but he had answers and Joe Biden hasn’t faced that kind of scrutiny, hasn’t faced that kind of exposure.”

    Wallace said on Fox News Sunday that he requested an interview with Biden this week, but that the former vice president’s team told Wallace he’s “not available.”

    “We’ll keep asking every week,” Wallace declared before signing off.

    You don't possess the intellectual capacity to understand or debate Okiemingo. He has more education in his foot than you can ever earn in your life. As for reparations, I've made the case several times on HF and will not do so today. What you should do is call Reverend Al Sharpton. He'll make sure that you understand the gist of it.
