DeJoy evades the overtime question again by saying he has not put those policies into place-he does not mention that he oversees all policy and by allowing it to continue he has effectively instituted the policy. Evasion by semantics.
— Amee Vanderpool (@girlsreallyrule) August 24, 2020
The Repub “defense” of DeJoy is basically “He’s doing exactly what we pay him to do! How is that a bad thing?!”

Dems could cut that BS off at the legs by saying if he’s not responsible, then he needs to tell Congress who is so they can be subpoenaed for testimony into why they’re instituting those policies.
Testi-lying to Congress. I’m old enough to remember when they threw people in jail for that.

It’s the usual story of this administration: Everybody in charge has no fucking clue what is happening under their leadership, BUT they’re sure it’s a good thing and any negative consequences are either A) a hoax or B) the fault of somebody whose name is totally unknown to them.

You could practically write a script for these hearings:
House Dems: “Explain why you did this.”
White House Goon: “Because it’s a good thing and I think the country will benefit from it.”
HD: “And what of the damage being done by it?”
WHG: “What damage? There’s no damage happening, that’s all a hoax.”
HD: “We have the evidence right here that it is happening.”
WHG: “Oh…well, somebody else ordered that, I had no involvement in it.”
HD: “Who was it and why did they do it?”
WHG: “Don’t know, don’t care, fuck you.”

He has no idea who ordered the machines removed, had no idea that mail delivery has slid almost 10% in the less-than-two months he’s been on the job, but he refuses to reverse any of the changes that have led to such.

Private equity has a bad rep, but it’s often for bogus reasons. On balance, I think PE companies are a necessary evil that do some good.
Some of the largest investors in PE funds, for example, are public employee pension funds, and those leveraged returns help them remain solvent.

The hospital treating Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny says tests indicate that he was poisoned.
Berlin’s Charite Hospital noted that the Kremlin critic was suffering from “intoxication by a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors.”
It added that Navalny, who was transferred to the German capital from the Siberian city of Omsk on Saturday morning, is in an artificial coma in an intensive care unit. “His state of health is serious, but there is currently no acute danger to his life,” the hospital said in a statement Monday.
The specific substance used to poison Navalny has not yet been identified, according to the hospital.

That was the inevitable result of the shortsighted shareholder value at all costs approach to capitalism that developed in the 1980s and 90s. Venture capital, angel investing, whatever you want to call it, would eventually be corrupted by the folks who demand their investments get big returns immediately… even though that’s not really how real business works.

If investing in private equity firms was treated more like investing in real estate - a long term (10-20 year) investment designed to build wealth and with modest returns in the meantime it wouldn’t be so bad. But the Bain approach isn’t really investment… it’s the financial version of a chop shop.

I thought postal banking was Gillibrand’s thing? Either way, not necessarily a bad thing. I think a chartered Third Bank of the United States which would operate as a government owned bank would be a good idea. You could put ATMs in post offices, maybe do mini-branches like some banks have in supermarkets in post offices as well. Though I’m not sure having the folks who work the counters at post offices also being bank tellers at the same time makes a lot of sense.

Entertaining but this is not a crime. Everyone involved was a consenting adult.

I don’t know if any of the financial aspects to the relationship were criminal, but this certainly wasn’t.

The GOP problem was that they didn’t have a clue how to handle a virtual convention until they saw how the Dems managed it — and it was too late for them to respond with anything that would match the skill on display last week. They were stuck with doing a traditional-light convention in the time of the pandemic.

As an aside, I’ve always been skeptical of presidential term limits (and term limits generally). FDR wasn’t the first to seek a third term, he was just the first to win. And since him, there probably haven’t been too many opportunities for someone to seek a third term… basically Clinton in 2000 and Obama in 2016.
I’m opposed to term limits for most positions but not for the Presidency. No term limit on this position — and we can easily end up in a dictatorship, especially given the overwhelming power at the President’s disposal. This administration has demonstrated how fragile our democracy is when the Senate and the President are in the same party.

That’s a fair point. I do wonder if term limits have been a contributing factor to the imperial presidency… second term presidents really have no checks because they are, effectively, no longer responsible to voters (the whole “last election of my life” thing).
It also probably doesn’t help that the Congress has spent the better part of a century letting the executive branch gain more power at their expense.

Coronavirus front: It’s often been mentioned here that we are the worst in the world regarding certain key metrics. However, given we are the third most populous nation, it would not be surprising if we had more cases and more deaths than most other nations. The important numbers are cases per million (a very unreliable number because most cases are so mild they are never reported) and deaths per million. And when it comes to deaths per million among advanced industrial nations, the UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Sweden still have higher rates than us. It wouldn’t be surprising if we eventually surpass them because of the sheer negligence of our leadership, but not yet.

It wouldn’t be surprising if we eventually surpass them because of the sheer negligence of our leadership, but not yet.
They were hit earlier, and learned on the fly how to treat covid-19. We benefit from the lessons they learned. So it’s better to look at deaths per million since that terrible first wave in Europe if you want to compare.

Someone posted the question to local FB page about whether anyone had any positive experiences from Covid shutdown. Most said “more time with the kids and dogs,” or “I took an online course in investing,” etc. And then, there was this completely NOT sarcastic comment:
“Exposing a elite ring of satanic pedophiles and cannibals that have been ruling the world in the back ground since the Egyptian times killing our kids to harvest # adrenochrome to stay younger and access realms of hell to bring power to themselves.”

re: #237 BlueSpotinAL
to be honest, whatever the Falwell’s do in the bedroom is their affair (unless it involves minors). What bothers me the most is the rank hypocrisy. I don’t have an issue if you want to promote a more “traditional” lifestyle as a moral and ethical choice; its just when you eschew those tenets that you promote in a society, in your personal life and they’re exposed; you get to reap the repercussions.
Taunting them for their kink seems like weak tea, the setting yourself up as an example of how to live by a certain moral/ethical code and failing that spectacularly should shame them off the public stage and from having any kind of soapbox to their input being taken seriously. Would much rather they become totally irrelevant and shamble off ignominiously (not that these asshats ever seem to), maybe they can then simply find some happiness instead of shame.

His mom’s originally from Zlín (which isn’t far from me, actually) and I’ve heard that he used to spend time there when he was younger. I’ve heard, from Czechs I know who live in and around Zlín, that Donnie, Jr knows the city pretty well.

re: #179 Hecuba’s daughter
Coronavirus front: It’s often been mentioned here that we are the worst in the world regarding certain key metrics. However, given we are the third most populous nation, it would not be surprising if we had more cases and more deaths than most other nations. The important numbers are cases per million (a very unreliable number because most cases are so mild they are never reported) and deaths per million. And when it comes to deaths per million among advanced industrial nations, the UK, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Sweden still have higher rates than us. It wouldn’t be surprising if we eventually surpass them because of the sheer negligence of our leadership, but not yet.
Firstly, I think you are too quick to dismiss the cases/capita rate where the US is notably worse than the other industrialised (non asian) countries:
But, even if we stick to your preferred metric, deaths/capita please don’t just look at the numbers, look at the trend:
Within a week the US will exceed the death rate of Sweden, soon after that Italy, the UK in another week or so. Belgium will take a while, but under Trump’s leadership I’m sure you can do it.
