Trump Political Games With Post Office Messes With American Lives | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

Senator Amy Klobuchar talks with Rachel Maddow about her concerns that while the Donald Trump administration seems intent on sabotaging the U.S. Postal Service, perhaps with the goal of hurting mail-in voting, Americans rely on timely delivery for things like medication that Trump is now also hurting.

    1. Maybe we find out where our votes are being mailed to and just drive them there ourselves and then volunteer to count them all. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธBYE DON 2020๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  1. Trump was out with Stormy Daniels when Melania was home watching after then newborn Barron Trump.
    If he can’t even respect his son, what makes you think he cares for the American people

    1. @john emeigh That’s the truth what he said. Check the facts. Oh ya, I forgot you’re a trump cultist that doesn’t believe in facts.

  2. brilliantly said, ty sen klobuchar and dr maddow. and welcome back dr maddow, you were missed! don’t forget the bills and payments that go through the mail, as well as the birthday cards, christmas cards, and so many other things! the usps is vital to our nation for many reasons!

    1. Maybe we can find out where our votes are being mailed to and just drive them there ourselves and then volunteer to count them all. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธBYE DON 2020๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

    2. Do what exactly? Nobody has any power over the president in the US if the Senate always backs him. There are no laws to constrain him that he can’t just ignore. There are no norms of behavior that he will allow to shape his behaviour. He controls whether investigations into election results take place. You’ll be lucky if you’re able to remove him in an election he has no problem cheating in, and the levers of power to assist him in the cheating.

  3. t’rump supporters: “We don’t care as long as we own the Libs.”
    Libs: “Your parents just died because you didn’t wear masks.”
    t’rump supporters: “But we still owned you, right?”
    Libs: “Not really, no.”
    t’rump supporters: “๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿฅต “

    2. Parents died because Cuomo moved infected patients in with uninfected elderly.
      Numbers dont lie.
      You poor thing……………………….

  4. A friend sent her daughter a package in the neighboring state. It got sent to Florida instead. Two weeks later it still hasn’t reached her daughter.

    1. I believe you because I sent a package to my daughter in the mail about 3 1/2 weeks ago and she still hasn’t gotten it yet and she just live about 3 hours away. Next time I’ll just drive there and give it to her myself.

    2. I recently ordered two things that were shipped at the same time – one from China and the other from within the US. The one from China is already here. The other was handed off to USPS a week ago and is literally a mile and a half away. I’m just glad it wasn’t something essential.

  5. I’m a republican and I’m voting for Biden. Do we have to watch another 100,000 Americans die from Trump malfeasance?

    1. Cirtap Nageem thereโ€™s a big difference between a republican and a trumper, real republicans are well educated or try to inform themselves. trumpers are weak men with guns screaming โ€œcivil war!โ€ while claiming to be patriots and christians.
      can you see the hypocrisy?

    2. @M G These are the same Republicans who supported McConnell’s obstructionist tactics when Obama was president. Many will vote for Biden but so what? They’re not interested in any kind of progress in the country wrt race relations or climate change or fixing our healthcare since they don’t really support ACA/Obamacare. Most, given their ages, are trickle -down economics Reaganites.

    3. Karen Byrd so if they vote for Biden they probably learned the lesson.
      I believe in second chances and many of them are being active when it comes to amend their mistakes. (Lincoln Project, Romney)
      also the Republicans in power like Moscow Mitch played them like a fiddle and sabotaged our education system to get a bunch of zombies wearing red hats.
      itโ€™s time for reconciliation and to lead by example in order to save America.
      how can we tell them to tolerate minorities and different people when we cannot tolerate our own brothers, sisters and different opinions?
      If you are a Republican, acknowledge the grave mistake they made and are active to make it up for it; you sir are my brother and I embrace you.
      we all make mistakes.

    4. The sad news is that we will indeed watch another 100,000 Americans die from Trump malfeasance because Biden won’t be inaugurated until January and it will take him some months to fix it. So the numbers are going to pile up for quite a while.

  6. Amy – I got news for you….they have been endangering our lives for years – Do something!

    1. No kidding. It couldโ€™ve been reversed when Obama had The House and Senate. They. Did. Nothing!

  7. As we’ve seen over the past 3.5 years, Trump will do anything and everything to accomplish his self serving agenda. This is just another dirty tactic that AGAIN will hurt the American people and our democracy. Just like he said ” it is what it is”…this is a POTUS talking about innocent people dying under his watch with GROSS INCOMPETENCE!! He’s a sorry SOB and KARMA is coming for him and all that support him.

  8. It took two weeks to get my medication from the VA. I got sick and it scared me because I thought it may be the virus but it wasn’t.

  9. I can no longer get refills at the VA. You can get the first bottle but after that when you order a refill it comes from the St. Louis VA. You already have to order 12 days before you run out to insure you have meds incase the mail runs slow. Now it looks like you will have to order a refill on the same day you get the med so you will not run out thanks to trumps BS. Meds, bills, and ballot all have a shelf life. If you cant depend on a timely delivery you could very well die, have your power/natural gas cut off, or have 4 more years of a complete moron screwing up what’s left from his 1st 4 years of fking everything up. along with murdering people due to his gross incompetence and mismanagement of the pandemic.

    1. I feel you man. I don’t even hardly get any mail now. For weeks I didn’t get anything. I thought someone was stealing it, but no, it was trump’s BS! But I’ve been saying what about people that get their meds thru the mail? I despise trump so much. He is pure vindictive and evil. A demonic figure.

  10. They’re going to ask questions to the blatantly corrupt postmaster-general … great, I’m sure that will do the trick!

    1. The first question they should ask him is how long he would like to spend in jail… (given that interference in the transmission of the mail is a Federal offence).

  11. This is truly dangerous for our election as well as people’s health. I get all my Rxs in the mail, and my life depends on these Rxs. And I am voting by mail, but will do so early to ensure my vote counts! I suggest everyone voting by mail vote as early as possible!

  12. “For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it shall come to light.” Jesus Christ, Mark 4:22

  13. Elections can be stolen, specially if there is a concerted effort by the state and
    billions pouring in from Russia, brace for 2nd term. Don’t be fooled.

  14. He acts like he’s going to be president forever. When his term is done, he’ll be spending what’s left of his fortune on lawyers keeping him out of prison.
