Today, the transfer station had its 200th customer at 9:18 AM. One would think that they could handle another 300 cars buy closing time since they got 200 through in 2 hours and 18 minutes. Wonder what they are doing out there until closing time at 3:00 PM? Their webcam shows the gate closed and a sheriff’s unit parked in front of it. Is Waste Management paying for the patrol unit just sitting there?

CORRUPT LECHER TO HELP SELECT FEMALE RUNNING MATE FOR BIDEN
“It’s not surprising that Dodd’s lechery and corruption don’t bother Biden. There is substantial evidence that Biden too is a corrupt lecher.
Biden’s tone deafness in selecting Dodd isn’t surprising either. It’s tempting to say that the man is clueless, but he has always received a pass, so who is really clueless?”

‘Portland Goes Full Totalitarian, Will Close Streets To Encourage Distancing’
“Eudaly channeled her inner control freak Rahm Emmanuel as she crowed about supporting a sustainable future, by exploiting this crisis and not letting it go to waste. Reading the entire statement on the PBOT website, it becomes crystal clear that they want these changes to become permanent, and that the pandemic crisis presents a real-time opportunity for them to define a new normal.
The three main changes proposed:
Block off 100 miles of Neighborhood Greenway streets to car traffic, or implement traffic reductions where closures are not feasible
Install pop-up walking and biking lanes to encourage local trips on foot or by bike.
Business districts: reserve space so customers can line up while maintaining appropriate physical distancing; create dedicated loading zones for pickup and delivery.
At the end of the statement, PBOT leaves no doubt about their intent to make these changes permanent and encourage social distancing even after the pandemic ends:

The 2016 conversation Paul Ryan wanted to keep private
The Post’s Adam Entous discusses a 2016 conversation of GOP leaders in which House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made an explosive claim. (Video: Bastien Inzaurralde/Photo: Melina Mara/The Washington Post)
KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.
