It’s not just Trump that‘s destroying the US Post Office. It’s the entire Republican Party. Senate & House GOP could easily override a Trump veto of postal funding and help oversight. Republicans are working with Trump to destroy the USPS and sabotage the delivery of ballots.

Is Congress seriously just going to allow the president to sabotage the postal system to suppress the vote in a pandemic?

Trump saying clearly on Fox why he won’t fund USPS. “Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions & millions of ballots...But if they don’t get those two items that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting”

And our system allows it. Isn’t there safeguards in place to avoid this, or are elected officials literally going by some sort of honor system to not suppress our votes? I’m really trying hard to understand why he isn’t being impeached for the 50th time by now.

Yeah. So, question. On Nov 4, say he comes on TV and says that 40 million mail-in votes didn’t come in and so he ‘s the winner, and McConnell, the SC and 100s of judges back him up. Do you have a plan? Hope and faith in ‘institutions’ won’t cut it then. So what’s the plan?
