The United States Postal Service that played a huge part in making the United States of America a functioning democracy is being destroyed by Donald Trump to stop mail in voting.
Since Republicans would ‘never’ be elected again if it was easier to vote
Republicans that need mail in votes aren't sure whether to back destroying the USPS.
Democrats are debating if it's possible to stop Trump. How about grilling Louis DeJoy in a public hearing for starters.
"Was it Louis DeJoy or Ben Franklin, who once said...
He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money…
Who ya got?
The continued assault on old Ben’s brainchild, the United States Postal Service—which, for all the cheap stand-up humor directed at it over the decades, has a 91 percent approval rating—would be a dastardly business even if there were not a pandemic, and even if there were not an incumbent president* running for re-election who is a compulsive grifter and ratfcker. But Louis DeJoy, the fatcat donor whom the president installed in order to destroy as much of the USPS as he can, is in there now, and there is a pandemic in the country and a compulsive ratfcker in the White House, and he’s doing everything he can to live down to the president*’s expectations. And folks are noticing."
