You must mean 24/7 advertising. Ha!
I have never witnessed such lack of confidence in the voting system by Americans. It sounds like Belarus as each week goes by. It was different before Donald Trump.
The U.S. Government: "Nationally, the number of collection boxes declined by more than 12,000 in the past 5 years. Some customers have complained the U.S. Postal Service has gone too far and removed too many collection boxes in neighborhoods." (U.S. Postal Service Inspector General)
Where Have All the Collection Boxes Gone? | USPS Office of Inspector General
A major Arab nation??? United Arab Emirates, you mean??? What percentage of Donald Trump supporters could find that piece of sand on Pompeo's map, I wonder. What's the capital city there? Ha! Ha!
Nobody has to read advertisements in newspapers but try watching American news channels without being bombarded with commercials.Half of what is in the newspapers is advertisement, the Sunday editions are half to two thirds. What's your point?
The post offices work fine in Europe.I and Americans in general are confident in the voting system unless states and congress do something stupid such as mass mail in voting without first making it secure.
Sorry; I didn't mean to humiliate you. I hope you will be able to stick your ballot in your mail box and flip the red flag, then.Rubbish. You did not mention mail collection boxes, you said "mail boxes". As for the collection boxes, perhaps you have not noticed such things as email, Fedex, etc. There is no longer the need for a mail collection box on every block. For instance, most of what I get in my mail box these days is junk mail. I pay all my bills online, even my mortgage and utility bills. However if I need to mail a letter, form, etc that cannot be sent by email, I can stick it in my own mail box and flip the red flag up and the mail carrier will pick it up. There are also mail collection boxes and post offices close to home.
Does President Trump know the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, I wonder. Do you? Ha! Ha!Once again, you are just butthurt over the fact that Trump is getting credit for it at some level. A peace deal between Israel and any mideast nation is major.
That's all he does.
That's what I said -- all e does is works on problems dealing with Isreal.
No, all he does is work on corrupt and bad things.

Why not add "In my ignorant and quite worthless opinion." You would get a lot of likes.
“Art of the Deal!”
Jared was involved, nuff said!
That's a lot of eating. I hear obesity is a problem in America.We are a capitalist nation. Ads come with the news. That's how they pay the newscasters, cameramen, etc. I ignore the ads on the 24 hour cable news programs. Good time to get refreshments or take a bathroom break. Nobody forces you to watch the ads on TV news anymore then you are forced to read them in the newspapers.
American commercial TV has shows about zombies. Do you suppose Donald Trump lost the election to Hilary Clinton because of all the illegal Mexican rapists in California voting or because the Walking Dead were turning up at the polls, I wonder.How nice for Europe. The post office works reasonably well here as well. The post office is not the issue with mass mail in voting. The issue is in the voting precincts themselves. There are still far too many active registrations for dead citizens, family pets, people who have moved to and registered to vote in a different state, etc. Only one state has cleaned it's voter rolls enough to make vote by mail anything close to secure. And which part of "There is sim0ply not enough time between now and the November election tomake "national vote by mail secure" do you not understand?
Sorry again; I don't mean to embarrass you but the capital city of the United Arab Emirates is not Abu Dhabi. It is Dubai. I use Google. The Palm Trump International Hotel & Tower does not exist. It was never built.Abu Dhabi. And considering how much Trump is involved in international real estate development, it is laughable ignorance on your part to suggest that Trump is unaware of the UAE capital. Look up the Palm Trump International Hotel & Tower in Dubai.
And? People work on bad and corrupt things.

How could I have got that wrong? Donald Trump would of course know that Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE; he has an imaginary hotel there. Is that what you call a mirage? Ha!...
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country in Western Asia. Abu Dhabi is the capital of UAE, and it is the country's largest and the second most populous city.
Looks like you embarrassed yourself again. Dubai is just the capital of one of the seven Emirates in the United Arab Emirates.
Are you anti-Semitic? Are you anti-Palestinian? I'm not. I oppose Israel's abuses, not Jewish people. Most Jewish people in America as far as I know also disapprove of much of what Israel does.

Not really; I mean you told me to look up a Trump hotel which does not exist.The point is that you did get it wrong while arrogantly claiming that you embarrassed me. You have humiliated yourself twice.

So, the OP is basing its opinion on the link provided that’s co-written by Medea Benjamin?Article on how that's all it is:
Don't be Hoodwinked by Trump's UAE-Israel "Peace Deal" | Common Dreams Views
"Medea Benjamin (born Susan Benjamin; September 10, 1952) is an American political activist who co-founded Code Pink and, along with activist and author Kevin Danaher, the fair trade advocacy group Global Exchange. Benjamin was the Green Party candidate in California in 2000 for the United States Senate”
It looks very much like some Arab states hate Iran more than Israel.
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister on Wednesday cautiously welcomed an agreement between its close ally the United Arab Emirates and Israel to establish full diplomatic ties and exchange embassies. Prince Faisal bin Farhan said the deal, which also halted unilateral annexation by Israel of West Bank territory sought by the Palestinians, “could be viewed as positive.”

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud arrive for a press conference in Berlin, on Aug. 19, 2020.
Yes, they lied to the US and secretly got the French to help them.
And that is positive. Iran is the biggest obstacle at this point to peace in the middle east.
