With the Fox network, their news programs are just that, news. Their opinion programs are labeled that, opinion programs. With the MSM, you're getting opinion programs disguised as news. Spin is not a problem if you know what you are getting. The problem is when you're getting opinion disguised as news. Don't be giving me a glass of piss and try telling me it's Granny's peach tea.


LIKE YOUR WAY of telling the TRUTH!

Should FOX news be the only program to remain on your version of MSM? You're not at all interested in diversity? People lie, especially to themselves. Are you one of those smug parrots?


FOX is NOT NORMALLY CONSIDERED to be part of the MSM! Diversity can be good or not, depending on HOW IT IS USED!

This has all been suggested or done before to little or no action! Now Trump is trying his hand at making changes & improvements, hopefully he will be able to succeed! But, already the Democrats are CRYING FOUL, as usual!!


As you said all these actions for improving the USPS have been suggested before. It shows that the problem has been known for years and the fact that neither side has taken action does not speak well of either side. Even though no action has been taken in the past, it doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

What is truly amazing is the fact that some really stupid people believe that Trumpism will replace our well established Democratic form of government. When we look back at these Trump years we will recall that Dopey Trump was Impeached by the U.S. House of representatives. Only two previous presidents can share that boast.


DASHY, I hate to break it to you...but the USA is DOES NOT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED DEMOCRATIC FORM OF GOVERNMENT!! There is NO TRUMPISM FORM of Government either, both seem to be a figment of your imagination!

The truly interesting thing about Trump's impeachment is that he was SUPPOSEDLY impeached for Non-Impeachable reasons! That should make an interesting footnote in history!

It proves the lack of education in the public schools. The United States is not now nor has ever been a democracy. High school (and college) graduates are getting dumber and dumber. Feelings are being taught as equal to facts. There are only two genders, male or female. If you believe otherwise, you should have failed biology. Pretend whatever you want, but your emotions don't change the facts. The United States was founded as a representative republic and that is what we still are. We democratically elect members of the House of Representatives by congressional district. This is done on a proportional basis to balance the votes by state giving the more populous states greater say in the House of Representatives. Senators were selected by the state prior to the 17th amendment in 1913 and after that by popular vote. Each state has equal representation in the Senate to provide all states with an equal say in the Senate. This was done because the Senate was envisioned as a more deliberate body to check the possible excesses of political fads. The President is chosen by the Electoral College with the votes balanced by each states two Senators so each state has an equal say in the election of the President and the number of members of the House of Representatives of each state to reflect proportionally the population of each state. This was done to prevent the most populous areas from dictating to the less populous areas. Without this, the Constitution would not have been ratified and we would have several countries in place of the United States. It's even possible that slavery would still exist to this day.
What our founders accomplished is truly amazing. They weren't perfect, but they created a more prefect union bring freedom and hope to the peoples of the world.

Thanks for the CIVICS LESSON, too bad they no longer teach it in HS, it was one of my favorite classes! There are lots of people here on OPP that could learn a lot from that lesson!

You must have been absent the day they taught about how a lawless president gets Impeached. Here's a refresher: Impeachment is the Constitutional process by which the U.S. House of Representatives levels charges against a president who has committed serious abuses of his office. It is similar to an indictment and the Senate then tries the case. In the case of President Trump, the Articles of Impeachment were passed in the House by a majority vote. The process then moved to the Senate. In the Senate, Majority leader, Mitch McConnell engineered a stripped-down trial with no witnesses or new evidence. The Senate voted along party lines to acquit Trump of all charges. Today, with an eye on President Trump's double-digit tumbling poll numbers, some GOP candidates in tight races avoid any mention of the president in campaign ads. Some are experiencing buyers (voters) remorse.

Actually the Democrat/socialists admitted they were impeaching him because otherwise he would be reelected. They also, within MINUTES of his inauguration promised to impeach him,they just weren't able to remove him from office. And they have been trying to remove him from office since he was DULY elected by having Obama's operatives and appointees in his weaponized intelligence and law enforcement agencies try to frame him. Ever notice how these Trump critics, (who don't like his style or language, are perfectly fine with Mr. Urbane Obama's seditious corruption and abuse of power?) They weren't bothered in 2012 when Obama rigged that election by weaponizing the IRS against his political enemies either. But they sure are offended by plain language, slashed regulations and lower taxes, wonder why?

Our postal system is one of the cheapest in the world and it would be nice to keep it that way. It either needs to be a full part of the government or needs to be a fully private enterprise or it is in desperate need of a major overhaul. If it is a full part of the government, I'm afraid service would get worse. If it were a fully private enterprise, it would be prohibitively expensive and many would lose postal service. The best solution is to have someone, or a group of people, with experience in the private sector to evaluate the postal service from top to bottom and make changes to improve the cost effectiveness with the least disruption of service. Some services may get cut or be more expensive. Changes may vary by region. Maybe discontinuing Saturdays delivery, fewer drop boxes or less frequent pickups. There are many things to look at including compensation.

The funny thing is I'm old enough to remember when mail was delivered twice a day.

The one thing our postal service should not be used for is a tool for voter suppression by president Trump in a futile effort to win the coming election. Trump admits if voting was easier, Republicans would never win. More voters this year are choosing mail-in voting as their preferred method. Using dirty tricks is the only thing Trump has left to try to get reelected. His abysmal record is not going to do it for him.

He is against trying to conduct a total mail-in vote with no time to set up procedures to do it, to get additional equipment, to train additional employees with no budget to get any of this done. The states that currently do mail-in voting have taken years to implement and phased it in in order to iron out the bugs and try to minimize the fraud. We are less than three months from election day and mail-in ballots would need to be printed, mailed to voters (hopefully the voter rolls are up to date), the voters need to fill out their ballots and return them by election day in order for them to count. Most jurisdictions are not equipped to handle the amount of ballots that would be turned in. This should be looked at for the future, but it is just too late to do so this election cycle. There are more safeguards in place for absentee ballots and if someone doesn't want to vote in person this is the method they should use. Several states have tried it this year for their primaries and it has been a disaster with hundreds of thousands of ballots being unable to be counted, undeliverable, and not returned. When your talking about 20, 25 or more percent errors that is unacceptable. This is not even taking into account possible fraud.

When exactly did President Trump "admit" if voting were easier Republicans would never win. Have a quote you can you can post?! I think he said Republicans could never win if Democrat/socialists got to cheat the way they wanted to.
