Trump Sabotaging the POST OFFICE

Notice, that there is NO LICENSE PLATE on the back of that truck, as required by state law. These removals are taking place in the "wee hours of the A.M."
The culprit has no insignias on his clothing to indicate that he is employed by the US POST OFFICE!
T-Rump and his crooked, Mafia-connected "cronies" want to make Trump PRESIDENT FOR LIFE!
What in Hades is it going to take to STOP this "accused CHILD RAPIST" from destroying our democracy?
It is NOT enough to DEFEAT Trump, we must CRUSH this "Accused Child Rapist" and Kick Every DAMN REPUBLICAN out of office.
Gentle posters, please note - the above is NOT, I repeat, is NOT satire.
It is funny as "shat" in a gallows humor sort of way.
Nice work.
Of course the classy college I went to would express this in a more subtle way:
"Repulse them, repulse them, make them relinquish the spheroid . "
Are you a "Fight Fiercely Harvard," kind of guy? Gotta love Tom Lehrer
I haven't heard Tom Lehrer since the 1960s. Thank you. That was exquisite.
DUCK HAWK, I hope we become friends. It is lonely here on Red Night Island!
I love Tom Lehrer, too. Thanks for the memories!
Not Harvard - but everyone else but me was rich.
Adam, in college I had a stuffy friend that I didn't like but he was obviously rich. His name is Wintrope Merridethe, the III, and, wore an ashraf about his neck.
I so envied "Winny" that I cozied up to him, despite being instantly repelled. He traveled every week to Allentown, P.A., returning just in the "nick of time" on Mondays.
That night, and for days afterward, Wintrope, The III would regale me with tails of his opulent life: the country club, yachts, cotillons, and, an inside look at the Life of The Rich & Pompous!
Turned out, Wintrope was full of Bull Chips & everyone in Penn Hall, our dormitory, knew it, but, me.
I was so thrilled that I knew a rich person, writing home to my impoverished friends about his fake adventures and pumping myself up.
It was crushing when I discover the truth. One's delusions, when pierced, traumatize the easily led.
That is why we must let Trumpers down gently, or, NOT!

Those are some of the classics I remember. I actually piped in over our aircrafts internal communication circuit "So long mom" during one of our.... er.... um..... special training flights when we were carrying.... er.... um...... Well, you get the idea. Pilot was laughing so hard he damn near put us in the drink.
Thank you, Adam, for your instructive post.

For example, did you know that the CDC recommends that everyone in
"Mureka" start their day with their "Morning Trump!" And, they add, "don't forget to WIPE YOUR PENCE. That thing is more toxic than your Trump Dump!"
Betcha, you didn't know that, did you?

So, Trump is utilizing the same type of politics as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Why isn't junk-mail voting being contracted out to FedEx, UPS, Amazon, or some other private sector political donor?
The argument is being made that only the US Postal Service can handle vote by mail. The Postal Service is a critical Federal service. Maybe it's time for Democrats to stop treating the Postal Service as a quasi-private business that must compete with Democrat's political donors.
OH FFS, this postmaster general has stake in competitors to the USPS.
Tessylo, that is so OBVIOUSLY a "Conflict of Interest!"
Trump is crooked to "the BONE SPUR."
They why can't those competitors handle vote by mail?
Congress provides additional funding and authorization to hire people for the Census. But Congress can't do that for vote by mail?
Wouldn't requiring voters to pay postage to mail a ballot be the same as a poll tax? Who's going to pay for the service?
Because, Nerm_L, Trump does not want to "streamline or improve the POST OFFICE. He wants to jam it up so folks can't VOTE.
Everything Trump does or says is all about him! Not the people he was elected to serve.
Trump says he is refusing additional post office funding as part of his fight against mail-in voting
Here in CO, the postage is prepaid for all mail in ballots, so no there is no poll tax.
Yeah, Trump is employing the same style of politics that has been utilized by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. The Postal Service has become a squeaky wheel that needs some grease.
Democrats have made junk-mail voting a political priority. But Democrats haven't contributed funding and haven't done any planning. The House hasn't passed any legislation to support vote by mail. Democrats haven't included vote by mail in their response to the pandemic. Democrats have been using the Postal Service as a ready-made scapegoat. Of course junk-mail voting won't work because Democrats don't want junk-mail voting to work; even though Democrats claim that as a political priority.
Vote by mail has a history of a higher percentage of rejected ballots than in-person voting at polling stations. And it's not possible to replace a spoiled ballot. Paying postage to mail a ballot is also a type of poll tax. Mailing ballots is the least of the problems that will be encountered with junk-mail voting.
Someone has to pay for the service. Who?
From the linked article (emphasis mine):
"Democrats, as part of their $3 trillion Covid-19 relief proposal, want to include a $25 billion infusion for the Post Office, which has hemorrhaged billions of dollars during the pandemic. That stimulus package also included $3.6 billion for election funding, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said is partly to ensure there are enough polling places and that they are spaced out and open long enough to mitigate the spread of the virus."
You know, Democrats could provide funding to the states (who are responsible for conducting elections). That's what the $3.6 billion allocation for voting actually does. How the states spend the money is their business.
The $25 billion infusion for the Postal Service is to replace lost revenue; not to fund junk-mail voting. Democrats have to make the case that the Postal Service is critical for vote by mail and, by extension, is a critical Federal service. The private sector can't handle vote by mail.
Time to call in Speaker Pelosi!
Subpoena the Post Master, don't ask him to testify voluntarily before the House Judiciary Committee.
Send the subpoena with Armed Marshalls, several of them, and, if he refuses, drag his fat Arse to JAIL.
That might slow down the total destruction of the Post Office until after the ELECTION.
It is time that we start playing for KEEPS.
Seize Trump's assets under the RICO ACT, toss his orange Arse in prison, and, use some of the trillions Trump has stolen over the year.s to jump-start the study.
There are issued that a fully-funded United States Postal Task Force of professional, elected officials, lawyer, financial geniuses, and previous Post Master would be empaneled to address!
Unfortunately not you, or me, or, the man in the street with a freakin' Red Cap on his slanted head, there is no seat at the table. Perhaps, filling out a survey.
Enough STUPID, already!
TRUMP MUST GO!
The pandemic has caused a huge loss of postal revenue. The Postal Service is required to be self-sustaining; just as is Social Security. However, the Postal Service has been prohibited from competing with the private sector; just as with Social Security.
When a private sector business doesn't have sufficient revenue then the business begins closing facilities, laying off workers, and limiting the services that are provided. The Postal Service has to do the same thing because it is dependent upon postal revenue to sustain itself.
Democrats aren't addressing the underlying problem. Democrats are only kicking the can to avoid the problems encountered by the Postal Service just as Democrats have been kicking the can to avoid addressing the problems with Social Security. A Green New Deal isn't going to fix those problems.
Why is there a need for another expert panel to engage in political pandering?
The simple fix is to recognize that the Postal Service is a critical Federal service and treat the Postal Service as a Federal agency. The EPA is not required to be self-sustaining even though the EPA collects revenue through permits and fines. The FCC is not required to be self-sustaining even though it sells the airwaves to private sector profiteers.
Democrats need to shed their infatuation with Reagan's small government lunacy. The Postal Service is mentioned as an appropriate Federal service in the Constitution. Is Democrats' hatred of the Constitution getting in the way?
If Dems are "KICKING THE CAN," then-Republican Conservates are crushing the can with their GESTAPO BOOTS.
The problem is TRUMP & The Cowardly Republican Enablers in elected office.
It's not DEMS who are devotees of Ronald Reagan, it's Conservative Republicans.

Split-P: Thanks for your post on Pre-paid returned ballots by states.
The POINT is that approximately 30 million Absentee Ballots were counted in the 2018 election, according to Steve Kornacki, MSNBC, election reporter, who every year, breaks down the data as it comes into the "LIVE" BROADCAST.
Research confirms that ONLY O.O3 % contaminated. Compare that to Florida tossing out 800,000 ballots from predominately Democrat precincts.
Republicans have a Century long HISTORY of CHEATING, and, stealing elections going back to 1876.
Of course tRump is sabotaging the USPS. He knows that when we ALL VOTE, HE LOSES. HE'S SAID SO HIMSELF.
No American should cast a VOTE for this
and "Accused Child Rapist."
Tessylo, that is so OBVIOUSLY a "Conflict of Interest!"

Junk-mail voting has become Democrat's border wall. Trump is employing the same political tactic Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer used to block the border wall.
Interesting how that works.
What the fuck is 'junk-mail voting'
Plus you keep spamming that comment on other seeds.
It is NOT enough to defeat Trump, we must CRUSH him and the GOP (Government of Putin)!
There is plenty wrong with the US Post Office starting with all that it has promised it's employees. It has a fantasy Pension system which invests in nothing. A 2006 law, among other things, required that the Postal Service prefund retiree medical benefits. The Postal Service has defaulted on those payments and owes more than $50 billion. The Post Office is also restricted from raising prices too severely on first class mail.
Those are just some of the problems facing the PO, however the question of whether the PO can deliver the massive increase in volume of mail which a universal national mail in ballot drive entails might only be secondary to the real question of whether election official are going to be able to handle the avalanche of ballots which have to be verified as well as processed?
One can only imagine what it would be like if days after the election we still didn't know who the winner was?
The private sector is incapable of handling vote by mail. That's abundantly clear. The Postal Service has been forced to compete with the private sector who only cherry picks the low hanging fruit.
Maybe Reagan's idea of running the government like a business was really very stupid, after all. Maybe Clinton's priority to transform government into a contract service wasn't about serving the public, after all.
Junk-mail voting has become Democrat's border wall. Trump is blocking vote by mail the same way Democrats blocked the border wall. Interesting how that works.
Odd that you would try to compare voting rights to a stupid wall.
[deleted]
Voting rights? LMAO!
Great analogy!
No it's not. It is asinine.
Do you really think people being against a wall is anywhere near the same as taking away mail processing machines and gutting the system?
You all need to come up with some new material as this falls flat.
What is asinine is promoting chaos and fraud in the coming election. Think of how divided we are? Think how close the election could be?
The thing America needs now, at the very least is a fair & legitimate election.
And you think railing against mail in voting during a pandemic while gutting the post office will accomplish this?
Aren't voting rights kinda dependent upon citizen's rights? Can't have one without the other, it seems.
What the hell. That does not even make any sense.
A wall has nothing to do with 'citizen rights'.
Did you expect him to sit back and let the left do it?
The idea of conducting elections by wholesale mail-in ballots is reckless & perverse.
Only in your mind.
I swear donald says jump and you all don't even wait to ask how high.
Contrary to your misguided thinking, it is still up to the states to decide how elections will go, not donald.
And they are doing such a good job./s
How did the AG say it? "I have friends who haven't lived in California in 21 years who received ballots.'
You see, the problem is ballots which are automatically sent to everyone on the voting list results in thousands and thousands of ballots floating around, not just in a particular state but through the entire country.
Tell Tammy & co that thousands are standing in line for unemployment checks. A fair election is every bit as important!
What the hell are you talking about now...
What the hell i'm talking about is people standing in line for unemployment benefits are no different than voters!
That's what the hell I'm talking about!
So again, up to the state, much like voting.
And why are the unemployed any less affected by coronavirus?
Again, what the hell does that even mean?
Some states opened it up to where you don't have to go in person to apply.
Nonsense.
One must request the ballot/absentee or otherwise every year.
They may send out ballot requests automatically based on the rolls. If it isn't returned, end of the issue,
if it is returned it is checked for exact signatures matching those on file, dates & postmarks.
It's so safe, Texas does it.....
That would be fine, but that's not what the dems are pushing for - they want a massive mailing of ballots!
Most of what he says doesn't.
So you believe Barr as well as tRump?
Therein lies the problem.
Nerm_L: Democrats oppose the Border Wall on "humanitarian reasons." Republicans support the Wall because they have been out of "Humanity" since the Nixon Era.

No Vic, I dislike disagreeing with my Eldred, but, Dems want a safe, fair election that is not hampered by a corrupt fake POTUS, installed with the help of Putin, or a Trump donor, who has a CONFLICT OF INTEREST, and heavily invested in alternate mail competitors.
Dismantling the Federal Post Office by a Post Master who is temporarily installed, and "hot" to disrupt the Mail Service, prior to the 2020 election.
With Trump, it is never about policy, it is always about what is in it for "the Donald."
The issue is Trump!
KICK HIM OUT OF OFFICE!
Have you seen this?
I don't see how this is legal...
I don't see how him and Dejoy 'kneecapping' the USPS as legal.
First of all, Eldred is a street in Lexington MA. (the best place I ever lived)
Second, what democrats always seem to want is any way that someone can vote without physically going out and voting. Mail in voting should be reserved for those who can't get to the polls, like the elderly or military personnel. The big problem with it is verifying the person voting is who they are supposed to be.
Dismantling the Federal Post Office by a Post Master who is temporarily installed, and "hot" to disrupt the Mail Service, prior to the 2020 election.
Not true. As for moving Post Office boxes around - it is normal. The PO has been doing it for years. Who started that hoax? Susan Rice?
Believe it or not Vic, there are many across this country that are too ill, or too isolated, or too old to get to their voting place. I didn't realize that those qualities made a person less worthy to vote.
And believe it or not they are already covered. Sending out ballots for every voter on the voter rolls in not!
Well, "Odd" that is what I have often been! I like it like that. It makes me, well, "odd"!

Trump is gutting the POST OFFICE. It is not a hoax, neither is COVID19, Trump's Lying, or, the danger this Buffoon in the Whitehouse poses!
You are talking "Apples & Oranges," again, My Eldred. Trump, his billionaire donor, with no public experience and zip POSTAL CREDENCE is crippling the Post Office 90 days before the presidential election to suppress Mail-In Voting.
Trump is a pathological CHEATER!
Thank you. I appreciate your riffs, as well.
Thank you. I appreciate your riffs, as well.
Where is the proof that ballots are being sent to every voter on the rolls?
T Tards would drink his bathwater.
Maybe it is legal, doesn't mean it should be.
You cannot honestly tell me that if Obama had done something like that, the right wing would not have thrown a fit.
With Trump blatantly tampering with the Post Office, canoodling with Foreign powers, it is unlikely that the "Bloated Orange One" is advocating for a "FAIR ELECTION."
Is that like "Holy Water" to T-supporters? Is that in the Bible, too? Somewhere?
No one actually believes that T-Rump is an advocate for a "Free & Open Election," do you think?
A Pandemic, in which 173,000"+ America died from COVID 19, and another 5,2 million infected, requires leadership to protect its residents by providing an alternative to Standing in Long Lines, for Hours, further exposing them to the Virus by T-Rump Supporters, who refuse to wear a Mask because Trump is anti-Mask!
It does NOT require the Post Master General to removed post office boxes on street corners and jerking out MAIL SORTING MACHINE in an obvious attempt to "slow down" the mail so that millions of voters ballots become invalid.
This is a deliberate attempt by the CAREER CRIMINAL, falsely installed in the White House via the assistance of a foreign KGB agent, Putin.
No, the so-called "Hoax," like all of the other hoaxes, was started by...wait for it. Trump! Who is the REAL HOAX!
Nothin TRUMP does is LEGAL!
Nothing TRUMP does is LEGAL! He even breathes the wrong way - Carbon Dioxcide Out & In!
So worked up you had to say it twice? Did you stomp your feet and scream as you clicked the "Post Your Comment" link?
At any rate, if "Nothin" he does is legal then why has there not been anything about all this from the DOJ? Why have we seen successes in many areas that Democrats have only provided lip service for?
Now THAT is laughable. The USPS has absolutely NOTHING to do with the election. Mail in ballots have been an option for decades in every state.
I know there is a snowballs chance in hell you'd do this but, provide actual proof of your accusations.
Ender: What is asine is Trump for any public office.
Ender: What is asine is Trump for any public office.
Jeremy Retired in NC: This may come as a shock to you, but the POST OFFICE plays a critical in all election by deliverying "MAIL-IN BALLOTS" on time.
Sometime we have to take off our "MAGA HATE HAT," and put on our "THINKING CAP."
And they have been doing it for decades or don't you understand how an ABSENTEE BALLOT works? They are available in every state and with the exception of a few, don't require justifications.
Maybe if you pull your head from your 4th point of contact you would get it.
Ok. Lets hear your conspiracy theory for that.
I agree, Vic Eldred , but, this close to an ELECTION, and, in the midst of a still-raging World-Wide Pandemic, this is not the time to start revamping the POST OFFICE.
Like most things in government, it needs updating, a makeover, and, possibly a refined MISSION.
The last Monkey we want heading up this important over-haul is that Wrecking Ball in the White House, who drives everything he touches into the ground.
Assemble the smartest folks in the World & a few from the USA (maybe you) to form a TASK FORCE, develop a Plan of Action, submit it to Congress to Vote on.
Oh, and, BTW, imprison Louis De Blow-Hole, the Billionaire Trump appointee who has invested hundreds of millions in competing for corporate mail carriers via his stock buys.
He has a real "CONFLICT OF INTEREST," and is only serving in a temporary role.
Every time the "Accused Child Rapist" takes an action, it is always for his benefit.
Don't you seriously think that Trump is doing it SOLEY for Voter Suppression?
I see, you want to get rid of Trump appointees, but it was ok for Obama to infect all of government with his evil ideology. Got it!
His evil ideology?
Wow. Some people are so far off the deep end....
Shall I finish it? - that they would burn down cities, assault people and surround people's homes! AKA the progressive ideology of 2019!
Contrary to what some may think or say, I have not seen any cities burn down....
There are those who will not see....
BTW, just today in ever violent Portland innocent drivers was beaten by your "peaceful" protesters:
Trying to change the subject into something else I see...
You questioned why I called it an evil ideology.
I thought I'd show ya!
Oh sure, that was Obama's plan all along.../s
Progressive America!

I'm sure you'll blame me if you get a ticket for that. Once someone is called "insane" the conversation is basically over.
It is time for me to depart this hate-fest, I have other things to do.
Actually it is song lyrics, but I figured it would get dinged anyway.
Thank you.
Some folks here believe QAnon.
That's about as stupid as believing CNN.
Not sure what that has to do with Trump dismantling the Post Office to prevent Absentee Ballots arriving on time!
Trump is acting and unprecedented, HISTORICAL defeat!

Obama, the first mixed American President did not infect America with an Evil Ideology.
Obama SAVED America from a Republican induced financial collapse.
Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize because his Ideology is uplifting not "Locking Kids In Cages," Taking Babies from the Mothers, Lying 20,000 times in 3 and 1/2 years, blundering & deliberately misleading the America people about COVID19.
Evil is the FACE OF TRUMP!

Again, Eldred, this issue is TRUMP and his billionaire donor sabotaging the Post Office.
"One can only imagine what it would be like if days after the election we still didn't know who the winner was?"
Same old same old bullshit Vic?
Conspiracies have taken over the left. The idea that the post office could handle a national election without significant issues was laughed and scoffed at by the Democrats just a few weeks ago. Even though any one whose dealt with the post office knows how many problems it had. Then reality slapped them in the face with numerous debacles in state primaries. Suddenly it’s a conspiracy! The post office operating inefficiently has it has for decades is suddenly trumps fault!
It is funny to watch them gather in large groups to protest voting in person though
An amazing display of dumbassery LOL
That's tRump and his supporters.
Oh, that is so witty.
Is that a comment about the systematic attack on the Post Office to prevent it from getting Absentee Ballots, or, just another personal attack, when, one cannot stay on topic?
Sean, are you aware that the US Postal Services has been "safely" handling ABSENTEE BALLOTS since the concept was introduced?

How about including all the information instead of conjecture.
I am not certain I understand your question, or, is it a question? It seems like a "put down," but of what?
I'm saying you should do the research and get all the information.
Excellent suggestion. I shall spend the rest of me life researching this mystery. You have my word. And, I make it a habit to NEVER keep my word. Why would anyone keep their words?
They are meant to be shared, not hoarded.
Does anyone have a clue why my posts are posting twice?
No.
No.
I was about to ask the same thing.
I think I solved it.
