House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday after a call with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy that the postmaster has “no intention” to replace sorting machines and blue mailboxes that have already been removed.
DUH… of course not, why do you think he agreed to testify. He HAS to go.

Umm that would also impact Black Friday purchases, Christmas buying, Xmas and Hanukkah card delivery, medications, -and this is the biggest fuck-up NoJoy did. Not notifying mail pharmacies could have serious consequences for patients.
Fire and arrest.
Only in America that a lunatic still has a solid 40% of the vote for the Presidency. In the last 100 years the loser of the election has received 40% of the vote. Trump should be at 25% based on his handling of the pandemic and is such a jerk.
Unleash the fury, America! These numbskulls deserve our wrath.
I don’t think the sorters they removed are used for packages. And you can’t put packages in the letter boxes either.
The overtime, however, directly affects parcel mail.
Trump should have been removed already. Screw the Rethug Senators who refused to do so…
Both Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have expressed their wariness that if they agree to pass a “skinny” bill with only a few nuggets of economic relief in it like the Republicans want, the White House and congressional Republicans will pack up and leave the negotiating table, satisfied to have at least something tangible to show the American people they’ve helped with the nationwide suffering.
This part here is Lucy, Charlie Brown and the football. It always seems to go that Republicans don’t like /refuse to accept what the Democratic House has proposed without getting out in front of the American people to say exactly why they don’t approve.
Once things slow down then, it all slows down. And there are small packages or packets that do go through the sorting machines, if I remember correctly my renewed US passport came that way.
I am looking forward to his ass being fried by Senator Kamala Harris, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Representative Katie Porter. Personally, this will require a boat load of popcorn.
Lying isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.
Well the envelope your passport came in of course could go through. I doubt they sent it in a box, right?
But the Black Friday purchases and Christmas presents you mention pretty much do get sent in boxes – some of them pretty big – and they wouldn’t go through. Even medications, which generally are sent in plastic envelopes don’t go through the sorters because the screw top plastic bottles would get crushed.
This issue and others has Democrats angry and might I suggest motivated to vote.

`new CNN national poll underscores shift in balance of anger:
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) August 19, 2020
July 2016
54% of Trump supporters, but just 18% of Clinton supporters, called themselves “very angry” about state ofthe nation
now
75% of Biden supporters are “very angry,” but just 34% of Trump supporters are
Reading this I thought of a novel way to reduce the national deficit. Allow people to bid on the privilege of being on the detail that escorts these, as @tena would say, motherfuckers out of their offices and have the pleasure of kicking them to the curb.
Maybe also film it for pay-perview?
Pelosi: DeJoy Has No Plan To Replace Sorting Machines Or For ‘Adequate Overtime’
Of course not. That’s why he said he’d hit the “Pause” button. He didn’t say he’d hit the “Rewind” button. He’s already removed mail sorting machinery. He’s not replacing the machinery. He’s already imposed overtime restrictions. He’s not walking any of that back. He’s already removed mail boxes. He isn’t putting them back.
This is out and out sabotage that is already in place. He has already performed the crippling maneuvers necessary to slow ballot processing through the USPS, turning it into SnailMail.
The Republican Party is full on authoritarian, there is no other explanation.
The Republican Party is owned by oligarchs in this country and elsewhere.
The Republican Party is the enemy of American democracy.
Anger is something much better than gallows humor, despair, hopelessness and cynicism.
Anger also indicates hope.
The saying goes that out of anger comes work, and out of work comes hope.
I’m not sure that’s always true though. A lot of anger can just be negative energy too.
