  1. Dont forget to get us our stimulus checks and unemployment benefits this man keeps causing catastrophe after catastrophe just to distract. He is a thief and a liar.

  2. The Post Office isn’t a business. It’s not to be run as a business. It is a national institution for the people.

    1. @TheTruthMATTERS! Thanks for proof that you have No business experience. Trump has done so much more than you. (I have too)!

    2. @Jeffrey Dahmer You have to realize that if at this point in your life you’re on a profile with that name and get told to “stick to cannibalism” You’re not in a great spot as a human being.

    3. ​@Bucky Pinata ‘ the postal service is losing money is because of a congressionally mandated retirement healthcare funding program that no other government agency is required to observe. This creates a $6.5 billion annual shortfall that could easily be avoided.” Congress required the Postal Service to prefund its health-care obligations.

      The act this is under was from 2006. That was when Bush was prez. hmmmm

    1. There are much more funds to be recovered!!
      My investigation report on how Trump spent $3 TRILLION ($3,000,000,000,000) 1st pandemic stimulus funds that his administration received to combat coronavirus (including $100s of billions for testing, masks and other PPE). Yet 180K deaths, 5.8M infected and 50M jobless!
      Please read to see who got the most of $3 Trillion and for what.

    1. They did turn the Republican party into a Mafia like organization, but with less honor and rules. I guess that happens when money is your god, the only thing you love and worship…mammon.

    2. Good job. Thank you for pointing out Tweedle Dee’s idiocy. However, he is part of the RepubliKKKan voting fodder, so I am not sure how much good it will do…

    1. @Aethel Yfel youre a kook. the angry far-right is already readying to do this if they lose. triggered by trump saying its rigged if he loses.

  3. Trump & DeJoy………………….de-legitimizing the vote and making 100’s of millions in the process……….BYE DON 2020

    1. You can still go to the voting booth. Y’all cry about trump for years yet you won’t go vote in person. #Trump2020

    2. @Logan McLean No need, I always early vote, I get may ballot LEGALLY in the mail, fill it out, SIGN it, and drop it off in the ballot box at the county courthouse……..

    3. Logan McLean no one should have to choose between voting and possibly contracting covid. And it does come to that. If we’ve learned anything from Wisconsin’s primary election is just that. Many people contracted the virus while standing in extremely long lines, for hours, to vote. Milwaukee had only five polls open. There are usually around 200. There has to be absentee ballots available.

  4. I don’t even live in the USA, but I am so angry that Dejoy was allowed to do this to your Postal service, People of America Rise Up!!!! Fight the Power

    1. AMERICAN-SUPPORTERS OF TRUMP HAVE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED BY A BRAIN-EATING VIRUS, COURTESY OF THEIR PRESIDENT HIMSELF, AND IT’S CALLED TDS OR TRUMP DERRANGEMENT SYNDROME, THE MOST COMPLEX GROUP OF SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS THAT NO PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOANALYSTS COULD TREAT, AND, NO CURE!

  5. What do you expect to happen when put a moron in charge of the most important things America needs (hint trump as president)🤷🏾‍♂️

    1. @White Dragon Trump knows that he is not fighting for the White House this time. He is fighting for his personal freedom as he will be under fire from all side for things he has done while president.

  6. Ask the Germans if they like what happened to their Postal service when it was privatized in 1995.
    Do not ever allow that to happen to USPS.

    1. @Roland Martin Der Staat hält immer noch seine Hand darüber. Wenn das nicht so wäre, würden wir inzwischen 1,50 € oder mehr für einen normalen Brief zahlen. Von Päckchen und Paketen will ich gar nicht erst reden. Das einzige, was mich ganz gewaltig stört, sind die Subunternehmer, die ihre Leute ausbeuten. Das ist ja heutzutage *die* Masche, um Geld einzusparen. Eine Mega-Sauerei. Da sollte der Staat dringend etwas ändern, und zwar nicht nur bei der Post.

    2. Trump was only trying to blackmail Post Office to force Congress approve 2nd stimulus funds, but he failed. And this is how he spent the 1st one:

      Actually, my german relatives tell me a different story. Prices went up steeply in the ’90s and every other year postage fees also go up. DHL handles parcel and is said to be a disaster most of the time because the poor drivers get peanuts and have to work overtime most of the time. I hear similar stories from Switzerland where the state owned postal service was privatized in this century and post offices are closed and consolidated everywhere… mind you, these are countries with much, much less remote rural areas unlike the US.

    4. @Ganiscol Postage fees aren’t going up every other year. When we switched from dm to euro, postage for letters was changed from 1 dm to 0.51 €. Eighteen years later postage is 0.80 €. That’s not even the inflation during those years. You can send three A4 pages for that price. I’ve got friends in Florida, South Carolina, Texas and Nevada. All of them sent me tiny packages and had to pay 13.50 $ three or four years ago. At that time I sent packages of about the same size and weight as letter to the USA for 3.70 €. It seems postage in the US is much more expensive than in Germany. Unfortunately the US demands customs declarations for even the tiniest gifts you want to send to your friends now, so I must send them as parcels now. The postage is 8.89 €, but I can send 2kg instead of 200g for that price. You’re right about some of the drivers. I don’t know how many of them work with sub-contractors, but as far as I know, the better part of them is still working with DHL/Deutsche Post directly, so these drivers are paid properly. I guess nobody in Germany would defend the practice of using sub-contractors, but if you look at UPS and other private logistic companies, you’ll see that they’re much worse off. They work even longer hours for real bad wages. I moved places in Germany a couple of times the past twenty years and up to now I had no reason to complain about DHL/Deutsche Post. Every letter, every parcel arrived in time and was in perfect order. And in case I’m not at home, I can pick up parcels at the post office in my village and it’s only a three minutes walk. All other logistics services have their plants at the other end of the next town. I haven’t got a car, and it would be a journey of two hours by bus. That’s quite common in Germany and that’s why I try to avoid these logistic companies. As I said, there’s a post office in every village. That won’t change, because our government makes them provide this kind of service. DHL/Deutsche Post isn’t fully privatized. You shouldn’t believe everything people tell you, especially not if it’s about postage fees in Germany. Germans will almost always tell you, that they have to pay too much, but after I received my first parcels from the US, I feel like our postal service is really cheap.

    1. And why do we know it? Because this scam has the Don’s fingerprints are all over it. The lack of any documentation, any written evidence as to who ordered these changes and why and absolutely no communication at all with the Congress. This is absolutely text book Trump obstruction and cover up. Trump’s MO to a T

    2. It’s even more than that. They’ve wanted to privatize the PO as they want that real estate. On top of that DeJoy, the big Trump and Republican donor is invested in competitors of the USPS.

      oh but how could they resist such a seasoned professional who knows zero about the USPS or public service.

      Do you know how many postmasters were passed over so D’Fraud could get in there to f it up?

    3. Aethel Yfel

      Poison at the well? Yes, Putin has attempted to poison the well by throwing that toxic gadfly Trump into the US political stream.

  7. I’m 70, I’ve had two cases of pneumonia and a lung abscess, but I’ll walk a mile through a rainstorm if that’s what it takes to get the GOP out of office and off to prison.

    1. @Daniel Shaffer: I applaud your tenacity! At 70, I will be standing in line as well, and I think everyone that has an elderly person in their neighborhoods, and churches offer to get them to the polls!

    1. @patricia lafountain /s. it means ‘the honorable’ which is usually used for judges. did you see his ‘testimony?’

    2. @patricia lafountain the trumpies that must testify have this before their names now.
      they never did before trump

  8. Trump supporters to Trump ,
    ” Fool me once , shame on you .”
    ” Fool me twice , RIP America .”

    1. We’re not dead yet. OATHS are taken very seriously in this country🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    2. He can’t stop fooling them and they can’t stop being fooled:
      Per my investigation, Trump is master in creating propaganda & conspiracy theories to scare & brainwash his uneducated voters, divide the nation, and then highlight himself as the only savior & hero against the fake news and the mess he himself created!
      Please read my investigation report on how he is running the biggest propaganda & conspiracy theory machinery in US history under the umbrella of SOCIALIST Falun Gong’s media channels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-wNdNH9VaQ&t=98s

    3. @Uniquely Lily the oath taken by the Republican senators before the impeachment trial were broken before they even left their mouths – Lindsey Graham’s comments beforehand being the classic example.

  9. The damage has already been done, why do you think he will not reinstall the high-speed sorting machines and the mail boxs.

  10. He just said d “NO” when asked if he would restore mail sorting machines. Then “NO” again when the questioner repeated it.
