postmaster general pledges to find slightly more subtle ways to sabotage post office instead.

does anyone here honestly believe he's now going to run the post office as if he wants it to succeed just because he got some flak for his overly obvious sabotage plans?

he wants to run it into the ground not just because of the election, but also because he wants private competitors (including some in which he holds a direct financial interest) to face less cheap, efficient, reliable competition from the postal service.

he will simply find other ways of doing it.

and he even said he'll go ahead with the planned sabotage after the election anyway. his sabotage of the post office is horrible even if it had nothing to do with the election. people depend on it, it's in the constitution, and it's not taking any tax money, it's self-funded.

his sabotage is a high crime and misdemeanor by both him and donnie *even if* it had nothing to do with electoral cheating.

So he’s suddenly going to stop everything he clearly had lying in wait. He didn’t just come up with this stuff. And it’s not just the election - they really really want to get rid of the whole thing.

Then we saw all the boxes with locks on them.
Maybe the fucker thinks he was being cute. He misled the public and his word should never be trusted.
