I just spoke to Postmaster DeJoy. I told him I want a specific, written document of exactly what he's rescinding and explicit confirmation all election mail will be treated as First Class.

We cannot allow two things as sacred as the Post Office and our elections to be undermined

[hlthe2b]

1. I want a GD inventory of every damned sorter and collection box they removed, where they are,

and a guaranteed date of return.

[mr_lebowski]

2. hl2theyeah! (nt)

[sprinkleeninow]

20. Copy that. eom

[Grokenstein]

4. That's not going to happen.

Trumpkin swine won't even reunite immigrant families with the children they "disappeared."

[hlthe2b]

5. It will if it is court-ordered. Thus, the State AG's will keep their suits going.

[lastlib]

43. When has tRump & his stooges ever obeyed any order from court or Congress?

They INVARIABLY take the dick cheney route and suggest self-fornication.

[hlthe2b]

44. US Attorneys in those states WILL. They can't risk the consequences.

This isn't like a Congressional Subpoena. I damn well can guarantee they won't ignore it

I get it. Our kneejerk response on all things Trump is cynicism and fatalism. But, the courts thus far have largely restrained him.

[SheltieLover]

9. Yes!

[Hekate]

12. Hell yes

[AmyStrange]

15. ...and give back all the money you stole...

-

selling them!

Sorry, just a rumour I heard.

21. Trump Online Store Begins Selling Decommissioned USPS Mailboxes So Fans Can Own Piece Of History

Yes, it's TheOnion.
For now.

[AmyStrange]

26. Ok, that's funny...

It's time to RELEASE the KRAKEN!

[soldierant]

31. Something I just assumed.

[triron]

36. yes, come on Democrats. Get tough.

[frazzled]

3. I would like to know two things

1) Will the already decommissioned sorting machines and mailboxes be replaced?

2) what did you mean by “until after the election”? If the administration loses the election, do you honestly have the nerve to resume your decimation of this essential national service?

[WyattKansas]

8. I would have demanded:

That he have all equipment back in place and fully operational by the end of the week. Do give the sleazy bastard an option to continue playing his games.

[SheltieLover]

11. This!👆

At DEJOY'S PERSONAL expense!

[Sherman A1]

19. Precisely

[spanone]

6. Thank you Senator Schumer

[Walleye]

7. Under penalty of perjury

[Trailrider1951]

10. THIS!! And if any of that expensive machinery

has been damaged, the A$$HOLE can jolly well pay for repairing or replacing it!

[hellno45]

13. and I believe The House Speaker wants assurances that any recent changes are reversed. nt

[triron]

37. Good.

[bluestarone]

14. I would also want to know NAMES of

EVERYONE involved in the actual removal of all equipment that so far has been removed!!

[warmfeet]

16. Prosecute all when the time is right.

Law and order, don't you know.

[mwooldri]

17. I wanna know this...

How can a guy whose career specialises in logistics and getting things from A to B decide it's a good idea to slow down the mail? It's understandable if he came from UPS or FedEx and still owned substantial stock in those companies - but he owns substantial stock in XPO - a company that contracts FOR the USPS. Yes there's a conflict of interest issue here but it seems to not make sense to me - to be in charge of your customer only to make them fail.

[LisaL]

22. It makes sense of one doesn't want people to be able to vote by mail.

At least Trump admitted that's what he wanted.

[not fooled]

25. Because red don

would let dejoy take over the privatized USPS. So, they want to break it to justify privatization.

[crickets]

29. *ding!* Winner.

[groundloop]

34. Not to mention steal USPS resources

Surely they'll figure out a way to profit from the 75 years of retiree healthcare funds the USPS was required to amass.

[kacekwl]

18. Careful it's not written

in disappearing ink. And get it notarized.

[kentuck]

23. What warehouse are they going to put the backed-up mail in?

It is going to take a while to catch up.

[Wednesdays]

39. The landfill warehouse. nt

[AC_Mem]

24. We should be well aware by now

That the very thing that 45 accuses others of, is what he is actually guilty of. Case in point - Election Fraud via USPS. What better way to interfere with the election that you know very well you are losing than to put a "friend" in charge of the mail and tell him to find a way to help him win the election by slowing down the mail. What amazes me is the fact that he does not have attorneys that will tell him that what he is doing is illegal and he WILL be caught.

45's "friends" are as completely disposable as his toilet paper. Once they carry out his dirty work he basically flushes them down the toilet. And yet these STUPID billionaires keep lining up to be the next one to wipe his as$. Boggles the mind.

AC/Orlando

[calimary]

27. YEP! Get it IN WRITING!

HAH!

The one thing I've noticed about these big-ticket highfalutin' swaggering business types who then take a government position - they CANNOT BELIEVE how many people come with those powerful and influential positions - ALL looking over their shoulders, asking questions, getting in the way, butting in on THEIR "business", all wanting answers and explanations and a bunch of "why're-you-doing-this/why're-you-doing-that" and sheesh, sometimes they have to account for some of the shit they do, that they now have to answer for (as they didn't have to do when they were chairman of the board or company CEO).

Get used to it, DeJoy, you asshole. You are DeScusting! And DePlorable! And DeSpicable. You, like the individual who foisted you upon us, are a DeSaster!

[blueinredohio]

28. I hope Schumer is not dumb enough to believe anything this man says.

He needs to be removed.

[BootinUp]

30. This election, we find out just where the average merkin is on the

stupidity scale.

[marble falls]

32. "We cannot allow two things as sacred as the Post Office and our elections to be undermined." ...

Even most conservatives mostly agree with that.

How in hell is Trump going to run against that?

[ecstatic]

33. Don't forget he also has to restore what was taken away!

Under penalty of law/perjury.

[lastlib]

45. (...as enforced by Jabba the Barr.......)

(yeah, that's gonna have teeth........sorry, cynical me.)

[groundloop]

35. Meanwhile, as we're concentrating on this, what else is tRump breaking?

It's the same old song and dance with these bastards, they screw shit up so fast that nobody can keep up with it. While we're concerned about the USPS (and rightfully so), I can only begin to imagine what they're going to fuck up tomorros.

[robbob]

38. I want to know who ordered this.

I mean, this guy wasn’t just installed to do whatever he thought best. This is part of a plan, and for every plan there is a planner. I want to know who planned this assault on the USPS.

[Tommymac]

41. Movement Conservatives.

Read as Koch Bros and their ilk.

They have been trying to destroy and privatize the USPS since the 1980's.

The law that is crippling the USPS - funding pensions in advance - was passed by Shrub in 2006.

This has been in the works for a long time. McConnell is in on it too.

[dalton99a]

40. Where are the collection boxes and sorting machines he removed?

[bucolic_frolic]

42. Peace in our time!!! Election cheating in exchange for a piece of the USPS privatization?

He'll just lie to you. We need court orders and mugshots.
