Republicans take a hammer to postal service to suppress mail-in votes

I wonder why I post these things, but I can't seem to help myself.

Not content with gerrymandering, voter ID laws, and closing down as many polling places as they can in minority areas, the Republicans are throwing away all pretense and dismantling the post office, one of the few public institutions in this gods-forsaken country that actually WORKS WELL, in order to stop people from voting against 45. This if course means people won't be able to get paychecks, prescription medicines, bills, rent sent to landlords in time, etc. But who cares? It's all worth it to have Our Glorious Leader stay in power.

Those who oppose him will already know this. Those who defend him will bend over backwards to excuse this because they have already sold their souls to the man who would gladly turn them over to an organ harvesting farm for one lukewarm diet coke. I am screaming into the void.

Hasn't male-in voting been rife with fraud?

[J!!]

Nope

I've found a different take on that.

This just in, Fox News's opinion section said something biased and partisan.

That's probably fair. But Fox News isn't alone in that regard.

Complaining about possible mail fraud is irrelevant because he's still taking a sledgehammer to the postal service in order to make it harder. The post service that people rely on for paychecks, bills, medicine, small business, etc. The post service that is in the constitution.

Might as well tear up roads and knock down bridges to stop people from using their car to commit voter fraud, just in case.

Anyway, there it is. My prediction was correct. Somebody is bending over backwards to make excuses for the action of an Evil Genius (Sans genius) would gladly feed him to driver ants in exchange for a single happy meal.

The fact that this abomination ever got into office is prove that our country is broken. Tune in next week to see what snarky tweets the democratic leadership posts about it while doing nothing to stop him from dismantling a public good that people's livelyhoods and lives depend on. Sending and receiving mail is for liberal cucks now.

Sad thing is the Post Office can be a government organization that can fund itself without taxes. But of course, the government steps in and makes it hard for them to function.

I did Google 'mail in voter fraud' out of curiosity. I got the usual mix of the usual left versus right sort of reports that is for versus against that you would expect.

Problem I see, is from my own conclusions is that fraud will happen no matter what. Do you not think there can be voter fraud from the Republicans? Do you not think there will be voter fraud from the Democrats. Of course there will be.

And if you think one side will do it more than the other side just shows where you are on the political spectrum. I mean do you honestly think YOUR side is more honest than the other? If you do then I got a Nigerian prince who wants to give you $5 million and another who wants to extend the warrenty on your car for no cost. There is another who wants to give you money back from you overpaying your electric bill too.

Public libraries don’t pay for themselves. Fire departments don’t pay for themselves. Public schools do not pay for themselves. The Postal Service is enshrined in the Constitution, and is not supposed to break even.

They've been trying to get rid of those, too. Well, maybe not the FDs, they seem to have THAT much sense.
