  • Don’t get me wrong, I actually don’t mind Russians being able to make a better life for themselves, I’m happy for them if they can leave and move and be happy.

    It’s just that Russian spies have been moving openly in Budapest, several years ago there was this one guy who defaced a Soviet monument - that IMO has no place standing outside a museum, much less Freedom Square in Budapest. A random Chechen without ID or documentation or a reason for being in the country or Schengen appeared and coerced the guy to apologize publicly.

    It’s a disgrace that an undocumented Russian citizen can appear in an EU country, brazenly commit a crime of coercion against an EU citizen while livestreaming it on Youtube, and the authorities of said country just stand by doing nothing and covering for him.

    All I’m saying is that I have no illusions of the intentions of Hungary’s government in removing all visa restrictions, specifically and only for Russian and Belarusian citizens.











  • I looked it up in the meantime, apparently it’s standard Republican Senate fuckery if someone else is reading this.

    The Postmaster General gets elected by the nine-member Board of Governors, that the President selects and the Senate confirms the members of. Obama nominated at least five people, the Senate confirmed none of them, and since terms were for seven years, the Board lost quorum, and delegated its powers to a Temporary Emergency Committee.

    After Trump got elected, he nominated and the Senate confirmed eight people over his term. This gave the board a 5 member Republican majority, the legal maximum, but the Dem minority was also somewhat made up of Trump appointees.

    Biden so far could appoint two people with Senate confirmation. Replacing DeJoy needs five.
