Well, for the people whom are going to have to have their Stimulas sent out as an an actual check, thre is going to be an additional delay of about one more week.  As the number of checks to be sent out at one is unexpected and unpresidented, it was already expected to take (on average) several additional weeks for people to see them in their mail boxes.

But, because President [Sleezebag] wanted people to know that the check were coming from him, he wanted to have his signature on the checks, as the signing signature.  Although, by law, he can't, but the Tres Sec it going to put the President's Signature, in the Memo, so as to stroke his ego. 

Of Course, adding this to all of those checks is expected to add several addition days to the time frame for people to get those special checks, so that they can feed their kids, etc...

So...as many of you are aware, I work in the military/industrial complex in an extremely red state. 

There are a LOT of people who seem to think [Sleezebag] is handling this marvelously.  As in thank god [Sleezebag] was in charge as he's saving millions of lives.  I'm really struggling to understand this point of view.  I mean I disagree with these people quite often, but at least normally I can see where they are coming from.  Yes, even up til now.  But I'm really struggling to see how any of this can be construed as not just an adequate response, but an actual fantastic response.   

Thus, I will not be shocked if he wins again.  This is somehow WORKING for him.

Just ask them if they have been tested with one of those "tremendous number" of tests that he promised months ago (as well as gotten results in less than 48 hours) and if this was a Fake Virus Hoax or not...

I hope a lot of his followers try to self medicate with that.

I like what I had seen of Cuomo in this interview with Trevor Noah

They likely have already been huffing Lysol for years...

Well, if you filed your taxes via regular Mail and are now waiting for the IRS to process it so that you can get the Stimulus check sent to you, Here is some good news for you: They will send you the check after they clear out the tractor trailers full of unprocessed mail, that your filing info is buried under...

Not counting a few edge cases, I think most hardcore MAGA [Sleezebag] supporters are, electorally speaking, a lost cause. They are so far down the rabbit hole of motivated reasoning that they absolutely won't let themselves see how completely unacceptable [Sleezebag] is. Fine. Whatever. Sucks, and maybe in a few cycles when what remains of the Republican party has wiped off the stench of [Sleezebag], they'll be reachable again. I don't know.

But [Sleezebag] won the presidency in 2016 by winning a few thousand votes in a few key states. All it takes to undo that is to turn out the Democrat base with a little more enthusiasm while also grabbing a few more swing voters. I don't mean to say that's going to be easy, but it's not complicated, and historically speaking unpopular incumbents dealing with an economic collapse and/or disaster usually don't fare well.

[Sleezebag] may win again. It's certainly possible and we should be prepared for it. But I think we should resist the idea that there's some magic to him, some idiot savant power, that granted him the presidency four years ago and has kept him in power since. Democrats had a weak candidate and a bad electoral strategy, Republicans were unable to unify behind a [Sleezebag] alternative, some things swung the wrong way the week before the election, and since then Republicans have mostly made the calculation that [Sleezebag] is worth it if they get tax cuts and judges.

Some days I wonder if [Sleezebag] is a biblical test, sort of like John the Baptist was the forerunner of Jesus, to see if the people were ready. Only I'm thinking [Sleezebag] is the test before the Anti-Christ.

Some days I wonder if the pandemic is punishment for electing [Sleezebag], but mostly I wonder if [Sleezebag] himself is a plague.

I keep thinking about what will happen, IF we have some states use a Mail in Ballot, due to C-19 and [Sleezebag] loses those states and gets voted out of office.  What will [Sleezebag] do to claim "Fake Votes" and try to invalidate the election.  I really doubt that he will leave office without a fight that will further divide the country with everything else that has happened.

I wonder whether he is planning on shutting down the postal service before the election.
