If Trump Controls The Mail, He Controls Democracy

[BasicHumanUnit]

Lakhota hit the nail on the head. Trump is attempting to create a self-fulfilling prophesy regarding the postal service and mail-in ballets. There has never been a more transparent attempt by any president to turn a government agency into one's personal fiefdom than this. Trump's aim is to undermine the credibility of the postal service for his attack on the election results this November. Anyone who gives a damn about the integrity of the election process should be outraged.

I think you meant "Lakhota hit herself in the Head".

Because that's the only thing that makes sense.

if trump controlled the mail the left would damn sure not be wanting votes to go through it.

i'd say stop being stupid but in your case, you'd cease to exist.

Trump must not be allowed to weaponize the Postal Service for personal political gain.

No political party should be allowed to do that.

The president is working overtime to turn the federal bureaucracy into a subsidiary of his campaign.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can slow the mail. But President Donald Trump can.

Late Friday, Trump’s handpicked new postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, announced sweeping organizational changes that promise to further undercut the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to perform a vital democratic function: the timely delivery of mail-in ballots. This comes during an election when as many as 80 million Americans are expected to vote by mail because of the risk of contracting COVID-19.

DeJoy, a major Republican fundraiser and Trump donor, reassigned or sidelined almost two dozen high-ranking USPS officials in a move to centralize his control of the agency, also instituting a hiring freeze and voluntary early retirements.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), chair of the House subcommittee responsible for oversight of the Postal Service, called the reorganization “deliberate sabotage” and an obvious attempt to interfere in the election.

“One way to suppress the vote ― and they’re experts in vote suppression — is to slow down the delivery of mail,” Connolly told CNN on Monday.

Enfeebling the Postal Service would be among the most concerning attempts to subvert the institutions of democracy by a far-right administration that has turned the executive branch into a political cudgel unlike any wielded by a president in modern times. Trump has never made a secret of his distaste for democracy. After his election, his then-senior strategist, Steve Bannon, described the objective of the new administration as the “deconstruction of the administrative state.” Coming from Bannon, an extremist who works with authoritarians around the world, these were baleful tidings.

Weaponizing the Postal Service for partisan politics should outrage and scare us all - regardless of political persuasion. The Postal Service is listed in the Constitution - and is a major part of our democratic foundation.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and Post Roads".[1]

Everyone knows Trump has secret post offices..at his resorts...in the bathrooms.

How else could he control the mail?

Controlling the country, the democracy, is part of what we elected him for.

Really? So you wouldn't mind if Democrats "weaponized" the Postal Service for political gain?

Obama already weaponized the IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, BATF, all our intelligence agencies, CDC, yada, yada, yada. Why are douchebag Dims suddenly worried about the Post Office?

Your idiocy is too astounding to comprehend.

You mean they are fighting to facilitate election fraud.

 

[bripat9643]

How so? Provide "credible" proof.

By supporting mail voting. Duh!

Yep, several Red and Blue states have been doing it for years - successfully.

Not on the scale being tried now. not even close

Duh, we're in the middle of a PANDEMIC. Would you rather people die from trying to vote in person? Trump is also going to make voting at the polls as long and painful as possible.

No one is going to die because they went to vote, nimrod. That's nothing but Dim hysteria mongering.

No they haven't. No state mass mails out ballots without a request from a voter.

There's no mandate for the government to run the postal system either, moron.

 

[protectionist]

There is no greater election fraud than the importation and protection of millions of illegal aliens. Has already turned red states blue, in Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico.
