    1. @Sunshine In the City Show With the QAnon cult now ready to bolster the Orange Man Koolaid Cult….
      things are going to get even more crazy/scarry. QAnon freaks being brainwashed to “remove” people??? WTF is that all about!!!!

    2. @Clayton Gunter You all don’y know how right you are. Why are the generals not speaking up reaffirming their oath to the consitution?!?

    1. and STILL watch the PM and his cronies. They can still do harm in the “inside” of the postal operations. I worked there 31 years, and we knew the GOP was always sabotaging us and trying to privatize, selling us to Wall Street.

  1. DON”T TRUST HIM!!! I’d be very surprised if he didn’t have some other angle he’s working on that no one knows about yet.

    1. @Joe Sinkovic – Not True. Been listening to Faux Propaganda, the OAN Crazy Conspiracy Network, or the Liar-In-Chief himself?

    2. @Reed Richards Show me different. I’m a progressive not a limousine liberal like you who listens to MSNBC propaganda.

    3. @Joe Sinkovic
      This IS MSNBC….why are you here then if you don’t listen to MSNBC propaganda? Really confusing. There is a propaganda station geered towards you called Fox, if that helps?

    1. There is no blue wave! rofl, it’s just idiots like you listening to main stream media lying to you.

  2. So, is Dejoy going to put back all of the sorting machines and postal boxes he swiped before he was found out?

    1. No, He said it wasn’t nessary. He’s corrupt just like his friend..Corruption runs deep the the WH..The deep WH……why not, he makes up crap like the deep south Obama Gate. Hes a loser

  3. You cannot believe a Trump appointee like DeJoy. He will undermine the election by slowing the mail, because that is what Trump told him to do.

    1. I sniff another fake democrat scandal just like the Russia collusion scheme that went on for 3 years costing tax payer dollars. Why is our election dependent on the USPS anyway? They are a failed government entity costing TAX payers over 78 billion dollars in the past decade when they are supposed to be a self sufficient entity.

    2. @SkaterStan
      Liar. “U.S. Mail is protected by more than 200 federal laws enforced by the Postal Inspection Service, one of the nation’s oldest law enforcement agencies. … The Postal Service receives NO tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.” May 4, 2020

    3. States have been voting by mail for years, with never anyone raising an issue about fraud. It only makes sense to vote by mail in the midst of a pandemic — in case you haven’t noticed.@SkaterStan

    4. Let’s put it this way; how many people has Trump allowed into the White House who was trustworthy??? I got that answer…0.

    1. Trump will deny to have ever met himself once he’s dragged off in cuffs! Or any of his hellspawn… okay maybe Ivanka still will have his heart, but the rest is toast and never was introduced to him. You know how it goes with these things…

  4. When Trumps goes on about mail in voting being fraudulent and uses the argument that ballots are being sent to dead people, this is very possible but not in the way he is claiming. People are dying by the 1000’s each day due to his mishandling of the virus and it’s very likely that people have died while their ballot is in the mail, especially considering the delay in postal service due to Trumps lackey.

    1. @Hoodlum Punk Rock That’s a pretty high horse you’re sitting on there for someone who is advocating for Trvmp, someone who has stolen huge amounts of money from charity. Do you believe in stealing from charities to US Vets and children? I’d be surprised if anyone in this comment thread has ever stolen a single dollar from charity, yet the man who will get your vote has taken so much more.

    2. @Sharon Bodimeade sorry if I come across as angry. really I’m not, just a little curious as an outsider looking in as to why the world has flipped upside down. I have no horse in this race and its how I talk.

    3. ​@Tanmay 333 Whenever Trump tells a story about his friend telling him something, he is lying. I remember this interview and he didn’t mention the name of his friend but said the son was named Robert. Trump loves to name drop so he would have used his Friends name if it was a true story, the only reason he mentioned the apparent sons name is because it cannot be verified. I guarantee you that If a reporter or someone asked Trump about Robert, he wouldn’t have clue what you were talking about as it is fictitious. Then he blame it on “Fake Media” and clam he didn’t say anything. Besides, Trump doesn’t have friends, he has people he pays or people he blackmails.

    4. @Tuan Vu Why does everything have to be compared to Obama, Its like Trump cannot exist without Obama. It’s like Trump wants to be in Obama’s shadow, he is never going to get out from under it because he can’t stop comparing himself to Obama. He can’t seem to think for himself, nor can his lackeys or supporters because they just parrot him and everything he says. I suppose it is the way of the simpleminded folks!

  5. I’m Happy that DeJoy caved, however Congress still has to hold DeJoy Accountable & make sure that he Does What He Says. Trusting a Trump Appointee is NOT a Good Idea.

  6. The damage is already done, Mission accomplished. Even if DeJoy Goes to trial and gets convicted ,his Buddy Trump will spring him after a week or so.

    1. Connie Plum lol, i loves rubles! I have 10k of them… its worth about $150.

      I think you have it backwards tho, the dems are the one colluding with the Russian Oligarchy, must be some kind of connection to the Ukraine cuz they seem to have something goin on there too.. you need a real history lesson, but keep on keepin on Karen

  7. Don’t get too comfortable, the wannabe Dictator in Chief is ready to spark a war over his defeat. Lock and load!
