The republican party is a stain on America. All efforts should be to dismantle the republican party as soon as possible.

My God, they have documents proving that slowing the Postal Service was a conspiracy prior to DeJoy taking office. 18 U.S.C. § 371 etc. They’re TOAST.

Destroying the post office is a destruction of the country in a very real way. Obama isn’t exaggerating.

I wish Obama had protected us more when he had the chance. Its nice that he’s saying this now but he let the GOP get away with murder imo.

The question is not what the Democrats should be doing, it’s what are the Republicans doing that you are so scared of people voting that you are now willing to undermine the basic infrastructure of American life,”

The Crooked Rs we’re counting on D/I voters to be stupid, idiotic and moronic like their base…so they embraced the crazy, cruelty and criminality of the Festering Orange Pile of :poop:!

Although tragic, the silver lining of the pandemic is that it is hard to lie about dead bodies in refrigerated trucks even if they try so much to hide it like Stephe Miller wrt to his grandmother’s cause of death!

So now Crooked Rs know they could lose
Thus they help Trump lie, cheat and steal to win re-election!

"In early 1945 when the Russians were advancing towards Berlin, Hitler had blamed his generals for all the setbacks saying “my generals are traitors,” and when his aides asked him how to evacuate German civilians from the eastern territories, he said “in this kind of war there are no civilians.” He also said “our people don’t deserve a greater German Reich, they have turned out to be weak.”

“Democracy is messy and conflict is inevitable,” Obama said. “But there have to be some boundaries that we don’t cross, some basic shared assumptions that bind us together. One of those is that we don’t actively hurt people or undermine key parts of our lives just for partisan advantage.”

The boundaries were crossed years ago it’s just that now it’s in our collective face and can’t be ignored.

Understand this. We are at war. It isn’t a shooting war yet, but it may become one.

If you can vote early in person, do so. If not, ask for an absentee ballot on the first day you can and when you get it immediately return it, if possible to an official drop box. And if all else fails, vote in person. You may get sick or even die in so doing, but otherwise you may end up dying in the second Trump term.

We didn’t start the war. But we must finish it and eradicate Trumpism.

You have got to be kidding me. She is “concerned.” GAH!

Susan Collins tells Postmaster General she has concerns about delays in mail delivery, saying if changes aren’t made it’ll “undermine public trust in the USPS and ultimately harm its long-term financial viability.” https://t.co/TuHLkdGj2d
