Sabotage.

Enforceable by whom? Barr? Never gonna happen. He could resign. Mnuchin seems to be running the show anyway. The damage to the USPS has already been done. Mission accomplished.

Haha I know the word from Brit friends who used it talking about Peter Sellers in the original “The Ladykillers.” Means “petty criminal,” folks. Course now he can do his criming on a grand scale.

BTW, he seems nervous even with a friendly questioner. Relax, Louis, you fuck, and just answer the questions honestly like the good-faith appointee we know you are. I’ll just be over here sharpening my knives.

Repeating worlds like a mofo. Saying things two and three times in a row. Wassamatta, punk? You nervous?

This guy is a terrible liar. Stutters everytime he tries to advance a new line of bullshit.

Shorter DeJoy: Packages are so much more important than ballots.

Reports that box and sorter removal part of normal operations. Haven’t got to the part about why the deliveries are now delayed.

He blinks and stumbles a lot when lying.

He’s clearly never heard of a trial run.

He’s more interested in meeting artificial schedules rather than in seeing that folks get their mail.

Funny how even in a covid-era remote hearing you can tell a thing doesn’t pass the smell test.

That’s a god-damn lie. You lying fuck. You’re putting yourself in, you realize that, right? Have you talked to your lawyer about this? Are you stupid? Why are you doing this?

I may be biased but I loved the content and I loved the format too. It’s harder, much harder, on the speakers not to have an audience, but thousands and thousands of people present information online this way and it’s an obvious new and efficient model. Really fascinating.

His denial of speaking with Mark Meadows is an out-and-out lie. He was tripping over his words more in that denial than at any other moment in this hearing.

Getting him on the record that the ballots will go. Well done, Senator Peters.

Blinking rapidly is often a tell for lying…

If DeJoy were blinking any harder, he’d be airborne…
