No video of the cocktail party support group or that the reporters were corralled (it looked to me) between Trump and his cheering section

His virus updates are rallies, his press conferences are rallies that take the place of real rallies in arenas. The MSM needs to stop covering them. Sometimes they don't, CNN is doing a better job not covering them than MSNBC.

Now we have this Friday night massacre of the Post Office to prevent ballots from being counted. I talked to my post office carrier about a month ago (I live in a Trump town) and told him that Trump was going to disband the Post Office. He laughed it off and said everything is just fine. I'm laying in wait to ask him about the Friday night massacre. New hirees are banned and wages are frozen and workers are being encouraged to retire. He will probably shrug it off, I shall see.

when state governments are arbitrarily declaring new rules for allowing mailed ballots, is threatened, in my opinion.

I've gotten in trouble here before for stating my concerns but these factors remain problematic and out of the voter's control.

I suggest that everyone should:
Know what the deadline, date and time, for receiving your ballot is for your state.
Know where the ballot must be received.
Don't accidentally double vote if you're concerned that your mailed vote is not counted. Know the rules about this.

About what was going on. Only that they wanted the usps to raise their rates to what ups charges. She thinks that’s a good idea. She knows nothing about a slow down or that her employer is under siege. But she knew they were required to fund their retirement into the future and that really hurt them. She was gonna call Gym Jordan (she wasn’t sure of his name) I told her he’s a nasty piece of work and wouldn’t do anything to help her, along with Portman and Stivers and if she wanted any kind of info she should call Sherrod Brown because he’s a good guy and for the people. I told her not to be surprised if she saw me standing in front of the building with a sign “saying save our post office” and “call your legislators“.

inappropriate actions, behaviors, declarations, and orders for his entire reign, and I for one cannot stomach it any more. They report on every word, every policy, as if he is sooooo hard at work doing his job and being Presidential. I don’t have words to convey how disgusted I am at all of it.

The word “should” needs to be replaced by “will.” It’s
a forgone conclusion.

I suspect that he's once again pulling something out of his giant butt, but I figured that I'd ask others here if there's some kind of actual law that he's referencing?!

So we can ignore governor mandates (it was held in NJ) for public safety as long as it's deemed a "peaceful protest" according to our idiot-in-chief?

"Didn't you hear that we can fire bullets in the air of this congested city because it's a peaceful protest about gun laws?"
