As we are in week three of a postal strike / lockout here in privatized mail Canada, not sure your average rural American will handle their Christmas stuff going undelivered, let alone pay checks etc etc. Tell you who is not going to bother opening a distribution hub and armpit lick Idaho, Trump's best friend Bezos.

But yeah privatize away.

Don’t forget the people who get prescription medicine delivered via the US Mail. Likely elderly, rural, and white…..you know, Trump voters.

And we had segregation and women didn't have rights, and we could lynch minorities and gay people. Great times.

Everyone knows no gay people existed back then.

Letting that Billy Crystal play that queer Jodie Dallas on “Soap” in the late ‘70’s……that turned millions of blue-blooded American men into queens. That’s when we started having gays.

Not to mention that Gilded Age business tycoons often treated their workers like shit because there were no legal restraints on them not to do so, and so many workers tried to organize labor unions to strike for better pay, working conditions, etc. And many of these strikes were violently opposed by the company owners and aided by the state and federal governments. Hundreds of workers were killed in violent strikes in that era - The National Railroad Strike of 1877, the Chicago Haymarket Square Riot, the Pullman Strike, the Homestead Strike, and so on. Ugly stuff, and it certainly wasn't a paradise for many, or even most, workers.

Also, instead of the capitalist idea of corporate competition, many companies formed monopolies which allowed for crappy products and high prices - farmers were routinely the victims of price gouging by railroad companies to move their products to market, for example. It may have been great for the wealthiest upper class, but it sure as hell wasn't all that great for the working class. But of course as we all know that's not who Trump is talking about - he's talking about himself and his buddies like Elon and that LA Times owner.

He may have been safe given conservatives don’t generally read the Times, but he doubled down by going on TV.

I’m assuming the creation of a sympathetic public profile is the strategy to decrease the chance of deportation. Not sure I agree in this case, but history is rife with examples of the nameless and faceless summarily and disproportionately facing cruelty. Jaime is no longer nameless and faceless.

This admin is going to enact cruelty upon Americans, in manners unprecedented in modern times, that said, ttump is also obsessed with his public perception. If a sympathetic DACA recipient, in a HEAVILY maga territory, in a family with a maga father-figure, gets targeted, there’s real risk to ttump. I don’t think the risk is particularly high, but ttump is as vain, venal, and capricious as they get; I don’t think Jaime’s gambit is irrational.

Woody sang about it a long time ago:


The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are filed in their creosote dumps
They're flying 'em back to the Mexico border
To take all their money to wade back again
Goodbye to my Juan, farewell Roselita
Adios mes amigos, Jesus e Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be deportees

Sky is a radicalized POS. FAFO is coming for his family and the least deserving will be the ones who suffer most.

At the very least, Jaime needs to get out of the shithole that is Rome, GA.

Fuck that guy
Voted against his father, grandkids, Son in law and daughter and then his other daughter for being trans but somehow doesn’t believe in “that pc crap”. Guys a giant piece of shit
 
He is suing the paper and pollster from Iowa that predicted Harris would win Iowa.

A smart and aggressive defense attorney could, hopefully, have fun with discovery.

So it’s the premise here that the press and media haven’t criticized Trump enough? ok…..i’m watching MSNBC and it continues to be non stop Trump hate and “end-of-the-world” predictions.

The legacy media scares your side until you’re curled up in the corner sucking your thumb.

The same MSNBC that had its two biggest stars - Joe & Mika - see Trump after the election for a preemptive surrender? The same MSNBC that Elon has offered to buy and turn into a Trump-loving network? At this point it's delusional not to see that more and more of the legacy media has steadily moved to the right.
 
I think it would be a lot more fun for Biden to have Trump thrown in jail on January 1. He'll still be president and Trump won't have immunity because he's not sworn in. Sure, nothing will stick but it would be a nice eff you on the way out. Be a good test of SCOTUS's decision concerning presidential immunity for things done while in office.
