The USPS isn't a business. It's a SERVICE. Says so right there in the name. United States Postal Service. It isn't meant to generate a profit, at best to be self-supporting. The USPS is not more a business than the armed services--the military--or the forest service.
To try to run the USPS like a business is the complete opposite of what it was chartered to do in the US Constitution--Article I, Section 8.
And Lord help us all if that Orange Pustule aspires to run the USPS like one of his businesses. We've all seen what happens there.
Trump fired two US attorney's here in Detroit who successfully prosecuted some fundies who were blocking an abortion clinic. And two Trump apellate judges have blocked a DC district judge from holding Trump in contempt for lying to the Court. That Orban was working hand-in glove with Putin ought to be a campaign issue since Trump was sure working hand in glove with Orban.
Interesting fact, from Sarah Isgur, editor of SCOTUSblog, on NPR Morning Edition:
"On the merits docket, the cases where the Supreme Court gets long briefings, oral arguments, writes long decisions, Donald Trump hasn't won a single major case. Where he has done well is that interim docket, the emergency docket, or the shadow docket, as people refer to it. At one point, he had won 17 cases in a row. But he had lost about a hundred and thirty. Donald Trump is still losing way more than he's winning in the branch as a whole."
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni lacks courage and has let Washington down, U.S. President Donald Trump told an Italian newspaper on Tuesday, delivering a blunt public rebuke to one of his closest European allies.
Meloni had been a vociferous supporter of Trump, but she distanced herself from him after he went to war with Iran in February, and on Monday she openly criticised him for lashing out at Pope Leo, saying his verbal assault was "unacceptable".
Trump responded in an interview with Corriere della Sera, saying Meloni was "very different from what I thought" and denouncing her for refusing to help re-open the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked by Iran.
"The Trump administration is reportedly considering Houman Hemmati, an ophthalmologist, frequent Fox News guest and entrepreneur, to serve as the nation’s top regulator of vaccines and treatments for complex diseases. As director, Hemmati would regulate the safety and efficiency of biological products for human use, and sign off on vaccines, gene therapies, and other treatments before they can be used in the U.S." {HuffPost]
Trump Just Winning Friends and Influencing People:
"Trump trashed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after she refused to involve her country in the Iran war, accusing the right-wing European leader of expecting his administration to "do the work for her." "Do people like her? I can't imagine, I'm shocked by her. I thought she was brave, but I was wrong," Trump said Tuesday to Corriere della Sera, an Italian outlet that said the U.S. president gave the quote before its journalists could even ask their first question.
Trump also expressed anger in response to Meloni calling his recent disrespectful behavior toward Pope Leo XIV "unacceptable." "It's her who is unacceptable, because she doesn't care if Iran has a nuclear weapon and would blow up Italy in two minutes if they had the chance," he said." [HuffPost]
i think i've been confusing the story of Paolo Zampolli using his connections with ice peeps like David Venturella to get his baby momma Amanda Ungaro deported to help him in a custody case with the story of Michael Leavitt getting KKKaroline to use ice to try to deport his baby momma Bruna Ferreira to help him in a custody case. so there is a custody and deportation book for dummies going around the White House, but why did KKKaroline have it first?
RIP, Sid Krofft. You and Marty were there in your glorious weirdness for 5-year-old Dave.
That said, I hadn't thought about HR Puffinstuff for years till its cheery and uplifting theme song made repeated and unspeakably disturbing appearances in the series "Goliath". If you know you know, and if you don't know, you'll have to Google that shit yourself.
I ain't having more of my childhood ruined. YouTube is running repeats of Land Of The Lost 24/7, only the times I've tuned in it was the less crazy sequel series from the 90s and not the True Thing.

Why does he look so much like the bull in "Bully For Bugs"?
Luv coos.
That steer is determined to subdue the threatening treads rolled into his pen.
It is SO much fun to watch those huge, intimidating beasts playing like wee calves.
Awww. So playful. I want to give him a name and take him home.
You’re gonna need a pretty big litter box.
LOL. I was thinking about a backyard. Or a field.
Treading around the cow pen
This big boy is on fire
He picks it up and throws it down
And never seems to tire.
LOL! I realize too late that I could have worked "steering wheel" into that post too.
What goes up
Must come down
Steering wheel
Goes round and round.
That makes two of us.
That steer is giving his horns a workout with that tire. Can someone teach him how to roll it? Yeah, no, I didn't think so.
Sign him up for rugby.
Truck soccer, sans truck.
I'm pretty sure the whole video is knock-ons though.
The way he throws that tire around, would you call him a right tosser?
Not to his face.
I can think of several Rights I'd like to be tossed.
Dungheap of History -----------> this way
Steer 'n wheel got to go 'round...
Hoooooly shit that cow.
Crossfit Cow!
Suck it, humans. Yer just embarrassing yourselves.
That steer looks like he's enjoying himself with that tire.
He's having a good old time, isn't he ?
He'd rather be tossing a Tesla around the yard but this will do for now.
Today, we are all that steer. He is my mood, My moooooood is he.
OK, now here's the thing.

Anyone else curious about what rules of engagement were issued to the ships in the blockade?

Now he's grousing at the Italian PM:

"I'm shocked by her. I thought she had courage. I was wrong," he was quoted as saying in the Italian-language article. https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-turns-meloni-says-shocked-145447692.html
Does Prime Minister Meloni know how to do the wanking motion? I think that's the only valid response to any Trump criticism of you.

Probably certified by Rand Paul's board.
Probably too stupid to pass Rand's stringent requirements.
