  1. You’d think that Trump would LOVE the Postal Service. After all, they delivered his last 2 mail-order wives.
    🇺🇸Biden-Harris 2020🇺🇸
    🙂

    1. Tessmage Tessera Well, that’s all you have to say ! Hilarious! Limited view. Go google protests in Europe.. multiple countries. I hope that you enjoyed the video with Obama, who by the way failed the foreclosure crises resulting in over 10 million families to lose their homes. Good luck with your homework

    2. @Victoria Biggs The riots are a reaction to bad national management.

      If cops continue to murder black citizens ‘for a laugh’, the violence will continue in retaliation.

  2. DeJoy is making millions thru his companies in the transport business by slowing the mail down. Conflict of interest to say the least.

    1. @Victoria Biggs Putin, Duterte, Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, Orban, Ji, Modi, Trump: There’s your authoritarians. Time to take them all down.

    2. This horrible woman is such a disgusting hypocrite. She allowed the destructive rioting, killing and looting. She is a disgrace!

  3. In a sane world, DeJoy would already be in custody facing at least five years in prison for deliberately taking actions to slow the USPS as a political stunt.

    1. In a sane world, rioters would be arrested on the spot for vandalism and looting, times are different indeed.

    2. No one is stealing the election, you can vote Democrat and sink your own cities. I doubt that you are resident of Chicago. 117 000 mobsters on your street and you are talking democrats are the best for you ?

    1. Yeah!!! Democrat destroyed states (Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Washington, California, New York and now Minnesota)are the best!!! I love high unemployment, high drug use, crime, racism, homeless, wealth inequality and constant riots.

  4. The United States Postal Services is another sacred & sacrosanct American Institution tRump has managed to corrupt right down to its core! Stop his insanity & vote for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris to bring back normality!

  5. Too many people bled and died for my right to vote. No matter what obstacles Republicans put up, I will cross those obstacles and vote for the Democratic Party at every level of government.

    I will verify that my vote was counted, because I know that the Republicans are going to throw away a lot of ballots once they are in.

    Remember that it’s not just Emperor Bunker-baby McBoneSpurs who is trying to take away your vote, Moscow Mitch and every Republican is also actively trying to take away your vote.
    Vote Democrat at every level of government.

    – Make sure you are still registered to vote.
    https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
    – Make sure you request your mail in ballot early.
    – Make sure you fill out and sign your ballot correctly.
    – Return your ballot as soon as possible, do not wait until the last day.
    – After November 3rd verify that your vote was correctly counted.

    1. Ms. Byrd No one is stealing the election, you can vote Democrat and sink your own cities. I doubt that you are resident of Chicago. 117 000 mobsters on your street and you are talking democrats are the best for you ?

    2. @Victoria Biggs You assume much don’t you? I provided ‘Links’ to show that ballots do indeed get THROWN AWAY, as real american asked. You used the word ‘stealing’ and whether or not I am a Chicagoan has nothing to do with the General Information I provided. Done now…

    3. Ms. Byrd I received a ballot for someone that lived in the house years ago. I am voting in person all RED.

    4. Greg ‘ – Thanks for the link. I’ m in NJ and our state is going to have all mail- in ballots. Plus were getting secure drop boxes. 45 said they would not be available at all. Smh. I guess Murphy said naw I don’t think so. I think 45 is suing our state for this. The virus is the reason every state should get mail in ballots. Stay safe.

  6. Four books every US citizen should read before November 3rd:
    – ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’
    By: Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith

    – ‘On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century’
    By: Timothy D. Snyder

    – ‘Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America’
    By: Stacey Abrams

    – ‘Surviving Autocracy’
    By: Masha Gessen

    1. @Basement Dwellers Funny. As much as they love to trash Alinsky, he was a tactician and his tactics work for anybody.

    1. The smart kid , Max Laughlin, says we have shifted into an alternate reality because of CERN. I’m believing that more and more.

    1. Trump falls in the category of Beavis and Butthead. America is not what it is by leaders like Trump, he is out of his league at our White House, but is trying to take it down. He is trying to destroy America, people.

  7. WHY DON’T THE POLICE GO IN TO THE STREETS AND LOOK FOR LOOTERS INSTEAD OF STANDING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER IN FRONT OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS…………WAKE UP AMERICA . ASK WHY

    1. “peaceful” lol. those “peaceful protestors” are guaranteeing a trump re-election. maybe dem politicians should learn to let their police do their jobs instead of demonizing them for the 0.0001% who are bad. and maybe they should learn to employ national guard and feds when their “peaceful” supporters are out “protesting”.

  8. Crime is a function of economic hardship. If people have good paying jobs and the opportunity to move up in the world, they are less likely to resort to crime. So when 30 million people are unemployed, millions lose their healthcare during a pandemic, and this goes on for 6 months….yeah, you’re going to have more crime. Still not seeing t’rump try to fix the problem that started all this: the corona.

    1. That’s logical but because of national and personal GREED people have become so busy protecting what they’ve taken advantage of other people to have They’ve turned their on the TRUTH of the POWER of ALL PEOPLE united that’s why we’re in LACK
      that’s why all these people have DIED if we call it PRO-LIFE how can anyone NOT count

  9. If a person cant run a CASINO successfully where the overhead is paid for by the quarter slots, why
    would you allow him anywhere
    near the helm of a nation?
    When the Michelle Obama mentioned in one brief sentence
    that if you don’t think things could
    possibly get worse, think again, we
    should probably listen and spend a moment to try to grasp what she meant.

    1. 🤔 ummm you do know how many casinos have failed in the world right?
      Casinos often run on a slim margin that’s subsidized by the amenities….

    2. @William Baker my bad ,Trump is really a great business man and
      I am totally reassured that he knows what he’s doing. OK?
      And he’s not a POS thats ruining
      my country. Just a great guy and
      deserves all consideration for being intelligent, kind, wise, and
      Compassionate

    3. @A.I Michelle Obama is not a man. She went to college and made something out of her life. She is intelligent, gracious and beautiful. You my friend, are stupid like your president and the rest of the Trumps.

  10. Same question to Trump, if you can’t run a small casino what makes us believe you can run a country he cant!

    1. Yeah!!! Democrat destroyed states (Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Washington, California, New York and now Minnesota)are the best!!! I love high unemployment, high drug use, crime, racism, homeless, wealth inequality and constant riots.

  11. *Do you know how much mail-in voter fraud has occurred during the past four years..? It’s exactly 0.0025 percent.* _Insignificant._

    1. The rich continue to loot the poor systematically and they are never charged like trump they continue to immerse a lot of wealth while ordinary citizens have no jobs of money to put food on the table

    2. LOL WELL That’s a NO BRAINER
      What Else is KnOwn, THATS NOT HIDDEN
      For the flying 🙈🙉🙊 on 🔥 While Marching in step to Labels & false gods

  12. Wow. That’s what autocrats and dictators do they feed on people’s emotions and fear. The more he talks the more he believes his own lies.

    1. Trump has lied for years like ever since He was old enough to work with this father who Who also was a liar! Trump lied so much he believes his lies. We need to get trump his son his son-in-law In out of there and in jail where they all belong the whole family! Trump idolizes dictators he wants to be one himself and if that isn’t enough to get him out of the office!

    2. …. Although we sit here in TRUMP’S AMERICA, through maybe and bedlam caused by the monster, we remain steadfast! We possess the audacity of hope, that this too will soon pass through our efforts come November and, we, the people shall prevail!!

  13. He sure is projecting. Everything he is accusing the dems of is stuff he has already done himself. He is on his way to destroy America. Wake up people!

    1. No one is stealing the election, you can vote Democrat and sink your own cities. I doubt that you are resident of Chicago. 117 000 mobsters on your street and you are talking democrats are the best for you ?

  14. In WW II, every state let soldiers vote remotely and the military sent in about 3.2 million absentee ballots, without automation. This was nearly seven percent of the electorate in the 1944 presidential election. Trump is a crying baby and has no evidence of postal fraud or incompetence. He’s just a stable liar.

  15. 4 years later, I’m more afraid of the police than ever before and they are suppose to protect and serve !

    1. Hey Lin, you sound like a snowflake with your BS.. Tell you what. Don’t call 911 the next time you have a bad Mother at your door. And who is PROTECTING THE POLICE? Don’t do bad, Do what the officers tell you. Not hard for most.
