If I remember rightly he pulled a load of funding and put one of his stooges in charge, think they also tried to reduce number of post boxes available but don't think that one worked

Louis DeJoy, Trump stooge and Republican donor made Postmaster General - tried to implement measures to slow down the mail in ballots by ordering the removal of sorting machines etc etc. in a deliberate attempt at suppression. This was reported several months back and it was clear even back then, that delaying, or casting doubt in any way possible,  on mail in ballots was a major part of the plan.

I am starting to get concerned that all this is distracting from the real problems in the USA.   Trump is a clown but this is getting beyond funny.  He will tear his country apart and undermine trust in the process: that's treasonable behaviour surely.

Did you miss the part on how 3 department oversight heads were let go in the last 2 days cause nobody is paying attention? Yeah, so did everyone.

yeah I added the link to my post on slowing post down before you replied... this whole mail vote suppression has been going on for months and you could see Trump's game a mile off, shame his supporters can't :(

The scary thing nobody even saw was that he said he was gonna do this a year ago, but nobody listened.

 

And yeah, my glastonbury shipment shipment suffered for it. It took 2 months for it to arrive after shipping back in July. Guess how long it took the when they added the new shirts, towels and poster in sept and shipped in oct? 5 DAYS.

    • I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining   
    • All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.
    • Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.
    • Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
