Trump openly admits to sabotaging Post Office to boost his re-election chances

My god I have so many horrible things to say about this guy but I'm trying to stifle it.

I don't think you should stifle it. Let it out. It's purging.

That's why I do it, anyway. The country is in obvious crisis (crises), ripped apart by a blatantly corrupt White House, and it's hard to watch without losing your sh-it.

Another scary thought is that if Ruth Bader Ginsburg happens to die before Biden is successfully sworn in as President in January, Trump will have one more opportunity to nominate and install yet another one of his toadies to the Supreme Court. If this happens, the election, if won by Biden, will probably be contested by Trump clear up to the Supreme Court, regardless of Biden's margin of victory. With 3 of Trump's toadies installed, in addition to the other diehard conservatives already there, I see little chance that Biden's election will not be overturned by the Supreme Court, because the Supreme court will have become just another partisan tool of the current, deeply corrupt Republican Party.

Another scary thought...

You were right about that. You scared me, anyway.

In my neighborhood, our Postman is out delivering at 7pm. He's been our postman for a decade, and he's exhausted and stressed. You think of Trump's attacks on the Postal Service as being abstract, but it effects not only all of us, but most directly it effects the men and women of the Postal Service.

81 days till the election...

(At the risk of being falsely accused of being a Trump supporter,) I read the article, but I didn't see the part wherein he openly admitted to sabotaging the post office "to boost his re-election chances." Will someone please show me where he openly admitted that?

You're right. Trump's machinations concerning the Post Office hurts postal employees as much as anyone, if not more. I doubt Trump has very many supporters amongst that group. I hope Louis DeJoy doesn't start a vindictive purge of postal employees suspected of being disloyal to Trump!

You know he admits to being hellbent on destroying or minimizing the Postal Service, and that he is obsessed with the idea that mail-in voting will lead, based on little to no credible evidence, to a fraudulent election, by which he obviously means one that won't result in his reelection. Even if he didn't explicitly use the exact words "to boost his re-election chances", do you really have any doubt that it was at the very least, strongly implicit?

[_Temp. Admin.]

Yes, but "strongly implicit" is not the same thing as "openly admitted." The latter is a misleading inaccuracy.

QUICK QUESTION:
If you won the mega-millions lottery, would you mail in your ticket to the lottery office or walk it in yourself?

Nah, it's okay. I'm just going to get all my hair cut off.

I mean it this time. Better to purge my hair than give life to the dark s-hit.
