Next Week Will Be Interesting

The Postmaster General agreed to meet next week...at the House Oversight and Reform Committee meeting.  What'll happen?  My expectations:

1.  He's going to guarantee them that he CAN'T guarantee anything unless it all moved by registered mail....meaning you get a note to go and pick up your note at the post office, you can track the letter each step of the way, and you go back there to mail the ballot....sending it either registered. 

2.  He's going to tell them a particular dead-line date that the ballot has to be mailed by (likely being around the 10th week of October).  If it's not in the system by that point, the expectations of coming back by the 3rd of November drastically decreases.

3.  The arguments by the Democratic members of this committee will reach a level, where trust in the post office to handle this....is zero.  Instead of giving people trust....they will in some way....make this a miserable expectation.

4.  He's going to tell the committee that fake ballots will probably occur, and he can't prevent that....nor can the committee do anything to prevent fake ballots.

5.  He's going to suggest that safety and security of post office operations are in jeopardy because of Antifa.  Then he'll suggest hiring over 50k private security folks for this period.....with Congress paying for four weeks of extra security. 

Forty Minutes of DNC Convention 'Frolics'

If you add up the video clips I watched of the opening night of the DNC Convention....it's about 35 to 40 minutes.

The general feeling?  It's like one of those Jerry Lewis telethons.....about 16 hours into the 'show'.

There is no drama.  There is no crowd.  Mostly just a collection of speeches.....mostly downsizing Trump....not pumping up Joe Biden.  Maybe those came later, but it just left a sour taste in my mouth.

If I had this live on TV?  Yeah....I'd probably be slipping over to the History Channel.

If it doesn't improve on the second night?  I'd just go and cancel out the 3rd and 4th night.  Whoever dreamed this up as a strategy.....screwed-up.
