This story is so darn timely amidst the news of the post office lately. I had zero doubt postmasters would do this, postal workers seem to be the easiest folks to get along with. It'd be cool to do something for all 50 states (territories, too), but at this point, I doubt it'd work anymore.

As one of those salary workers, I was on campus briefly yesterday. I saw two FTE’s in my building while all the support staff in the cafe we’re still there. I’ve been proud to work there many times in the past ten years, but doubly so with this move. That campus will be so darn sterile and clean, and I hope a fun place to hang without all of us being there.

Has anyone gotten verification? Or where can I get some bitcoin to try it out?

I can see Giuliani, and I can see it sailing--former federal prosecutor being bonafides that are hard for his base and Republicans to ignore. Thankfully, he's getting up there in years so, even if confirmed, won't last long, and maybe he'd pass on it because he'd rather not have that amount of work the older he gets.

Hannity is a joke, and almost welcome the nomination because it exposes the President's incompetence further. I think (or hope?) that even McConnell would balk at such a nomination.

This is getting more and more like the US version of House of Cards every single day.

The 'McConnell option' is what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did in the waining days of President Obama's term. I forgot the justice, but he/she retired, and Sen. McConnell held up President Obama's nominee until the Presidential election, hoping for President Trump to win. President Trump, of course, did, and he nominated Neil Gorsuch instead.

Ugh, I forgot that. That didn't turn out so well if I remember.

Golly, I never thought of that--the Democrats doing the same thing McConnell did a couple years ago. First, the nuclear option. Then, the McConnell option. I dare not think of what's next, but, at the very least, it seems the caliber of justices as of late have still been top notch. God help us, though, if the President nominates someone like he did to the VA who just happens to be his personal physician.
