Originally published at: ‘A Shit Show’: Postal Service Whistleblower Warns That New Project Will Sow Chaos in Election - TPM – Talking Points Memo
A whistleblower complaint released this morning by the office of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D) offers a detailed and alarming portrait of the implementation of a new Postal Service rule as the agency scrambles to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order on mail-in voting ahead of the midterms. The rule, the whistleblower complaint says, creates…

It’s all pointing to Trump declaring the election results invalid and having the congress decide which results are valid and who should be seated. It’s corruption of the highest order.

Looks like the prelude to a coup. January 6 redux except this time it’s national with the cooperation of federal agencies.
The fusion of incompetence and malice in this maladministration makes intent of individual moves difficult to discern at times but the overall trend is pretty clear.

DJT’s attempts to claim that past and current elections were (and are) rigged against him is now, and has been, trying to rig elections in his and the MAGAt’s favor. Donnie is corrupt, unAmerican, and self-serving to his orange core! The mid-terms MUST stop him in his tracks!

If I don’t get my ballot on time, I will sue the USPS.

Unbelievable. Neither the Federal government nor the U.S. Postal Service has any constitutional responsibility regarding the administration of elections. That power is reserved to the Congress, and don’t recall them being involved in this proceeding. This is all King Trump, pretending that he is an absolute monarch and being enabled by a corrupt Supreme Court majority. 86 47

They will (try to) blame the chaos on Biden and Democratic governors/secretaries of state.

I will take a wild guess and say that the Fascist 6 on SCOTUS are on board with not only this shit show, but the entire shit show that will follow it surrounding our elections.
Now, that said, it was nice of someone to point out this shit show in real time. Doesn’t always happen.

You life is meant to be shortened so that you do not cost the oligarchy by enjoying a period of time in which you are non-labor.

Killing mail in voting with unrealistically onerous and unfunded mandates.
Kinda reminiscent of No Child Left Behind.

The Trump administration considers all these problems to be features not bugs.

It appears everyone in Washington and Oregon, which are vote by mail states, have been disenfranchised. That’s fine. Can we leave the union and join Canada? Maybe just the area west of the Cascades? I doubt the rest of the country, especially the red part, really cares.

Of course it is going to be a shit show. That is the point.
I am in Missouri receiving cancer treatment. I vote in Florida. I was planning to vote by mail like I often do but I don’t know if I can trust the postal service to deliver my ballot. What is worse is I used to vote in Missouri but haven’t for over a decade. I might get a knock on the door from somebody from homeland security checking out why I am voting in Florida if I show up on both the old Missouri and new Florida lists. If Trump denies me my right to vote this fall I am going to be pissed.

So the state voter rolls record party affiliation and primary election participation. Anyone want to try and tell me they’re not going to use those filters?

If WA leaves to join Canada, make sure they take the nuclear subs at Bangor and the Growler jets at Whidbey Island with them.

“Shit show” describes everything that has Drumpf’s fingerprints on it. Flooding the zone with BS is his modus operandi. Also, remember ETTD and every accusation is a confession ( e.g. Dunce’s “evil” comment yesterday). They’re all one-trick fascists.
