isn't that a new gang symbol for the grips ?
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is constitutionally authorized under the Postal Clause in Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution, which grants Congress the power "To establish Post Offices and post Roads." While the Constitution does not explicitly name the USPS, this enumerated power forms the legal basis for the federal government's authority to regulate and operate the postal system.
I'd hate for this to sound "anti-British"...but maybe do your homework before posting. I'm not suggesting anything about the guy one way or another, but you make comments and you clearly haven't bothered to understand who or what you are talking about. It diminishes or eliminates any impact you hope to have with your remarks.
Big orange man bad. Maybe next you can give us your uninformed opinion on ICE.

In theory, that's how SS is supposed to work. The issue lies in the fact that it won't be working that way for much longer, and I might suggest the crux is gross mismanagement. When liars and thieves manage the money, one shouldn't be surprised when the money disappears. Assuming I live long enough, I doubt I'll ever see anything from that system...but I'll bet they'll keep stealing the funds from my paycheck, just the same.
As for the USPS, I have mixed feelings. Most complain about them because of local experience, fair enough. But I can say that my local is good, and I've never had a damaged or lost parcel through the USPS that I can recall. I cannot say the same for Fed-Ex or UPS, both damage thing on a fairly regular basis. Of course, Amz trumps them all...
I have noticed that almost anything shipped from the west (particularly the coast) moves like molasses in an Alaskan January. No sense of urgency, it seems, regardless of the services paid for. Just my personal experience.
I think I've taken a train once, not including old steamers. Can't really say I have an opinion.
And here I was thinking it was because it was a joke in a joke thread.
Silly me.
Brits lack the cognitive ability to understand a LOT of American humor.
He thinks, all of us that signed our name on a blank check to the US should be offended at the sight of teenage Trump in a "military school uniform" which is in no way actually affiliated with the armed forces.
OK, I’ll bite…
I know why Trump was wearing military uniform in that photo. The question is, why was that photo chosen for that meme?
The answer appears to be to contrast Trump - good American, ready to fight for his country - with Obama - hippie dope-head - and Michelle Obama - apparently transgender.
But we all know that Trump was ‘unable’ to fulfil his military commitment. That makes the use of the photo (which you admit is actually of Trump as a minor, with no call-up liability) insulting to those who have, in fact, served their country - many of whom I believe hang around on this forum.
It’s not ‘orange man bad’ (although he’s clearly mentally dubious), but it’s ’that meme offensive to serving US personnel’.
First, it is NOT a military uniform... If you can't figure that out with the information provided to you, since you were too lazy to do your own research before acting the fool... then there's no hope for you!!!
Second, your assertion that we Americans who voluntarily made that commitment should be insulted
by a teenager's private boarding school uniform is completely idiotic.
You are failing to grasp a basic truth: actual service members do not equate a high school dress code with active-duty military service. We know the difference between taking an oath to defend our country and attending a civilian prep school, even if you cannot seem to untangle the two.
Finally, projecting a fake military weight onto that photo just to manufacture an insult on our behalf is what is truly laughable. Real veterans do not need a foreigner trying to dictate what should offend us based on their own total confusion.
American rant over..
