Trump Requires Food Boxes To Include Letter From Him:
The Agriculture Department last week began mandating that millions of boxes of surplus food for needy families include a letter from President Donald Trump claiming credit for the program.
The USDA’s $4 billion Families to Farmers Food Box Program has distributed more than 100 million boxes to those in need since May, with the aim of redirecting meat, dairy and produce that might normally go to restaurants and other food-service businesses. But organizations handing out the aid complain the program is now being used to bolster Trump’s image a month before a high-stakes election – and some even have refused to distribute them.

Why does the News Journal feel it is necessary to report and headline every bit of projectile vomiting that emanates from candidate Witless? For Christ’s sake we already have an endless stream of hate, misinformation and Trumpian cultists’ theories spewed on our airwaves by WDEL (Jensen and his sidekick Randy) without any counterpoint. Considering that WDEL is perhaps the exclusive radio network available in Delaware and that the News Journal pretty much dominates the area what recourse for any “honest” media accounting is there?
Representative John Kowalko
Suspect we’ll be reminded of why the court banned the Republican poll watcher” game the first time, it was first class stupidity that it is now allowed. The goal is voter intimidation and harassment.
I’d just love for one of these fucks to show up at my polling place. I’m bringing a baseball bat with me.
Bear mace. It’s easier to conceal and you can hit em from range. You dont wanna get too close to those fuckers.
Since the site is indeed glitchy, I figured I’d drop this here instead of in a new Open Thread, which I can’t write yet. This is the League of Women Voters panel with Sarah McBride, Steven Washington, Kyle Evans Gay and Cathy Cloutier. Cloutier is still the scared of her own shadow person she’s always been. But decide for yourself:

BTW, don’t know if you’ve heard this yet, but the President and First Lady have tested positive for Covid, along with Hope Hicks.
I’ll leave it to others to wish them a speedy recovery:
