More U.S. Postal Service info.

According to its most recent annual report ...

https://about.usps.com/what/financia...rts/fy2019.pdf

...in fiscal year 2019, the Postal Service handled 142.5 billion pieces of mail. On any given day the Post Office physically processes and delivers 471 million pieces of mail to nearly 160 million delivery points.

In 2016, about 136 million Americans voted in the presidential election. If they all voted by mail which of course they wont or they can't that is not enough extra mail to cause a concern. Seems to me that some people are stoking fear and confusion for political gain.

"Where was Joe Biden?"
As far as i know he was not president.
Luke warm piss.

Here is another video of the greatest POTUS ever:



I like this much more, because it is so to the point of what a kind of man Trump is

Poster master general gives in to pressure from attorneys, democarts. Well, does he? I'll believe it when I see it.



Quote:
DeJoy's announcement came as Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, both Democrats, shared their intention to file lawsuits against the postmaster general over his policy changes. At least 18 states are involved in the lawsuits.
When asked by reporters about DeJoy's announcement, both men laughed and said their lawsuits would proceed.
I’ll believe it when I see it,” Shapiro said. “Hopefully the American people can breathe a sigh of relief, but I will not let my foot off the gas so long as the postal officials continue to violate the law through their procedural steps.”

Says the guy who supports the greatest liar for another term. But Trump's lies are true lies so they don't count as real lies because those lies are spoken by a Republican liar and we all know Republican liars are more honest liars which makes them better liars.

Wow you sound just like Al Franken.

I don't ignore Trumps lies. I just don't give them much weight when I compare them to his actions. You want a silk tongued chameleon who will tell you want you want to hear while he stabs you in the back. That's what the professional political class in this country is all about and your boy Biden is a charter member of it.

Silk tongue? Sounds like stammering these days.

Besides, the only thing I see Trump standing for is his own best interest and he has the ego to believe whats good for him is good for everybody. It isn't.

The only lies that count are the ones closer to the National Election

The biggest lie of all is still in the closet by Obama himself and it will bring down Biden with him trying to defend the lie.

Media will have no choice, but to react in a negative way towards the DNC

Trump has another hole card

Could Kanye West's 2020 bid hurt Joe Biden and give a 'Hail Mary' boost to Donald Trump?

Quote:
Rhonda Mangum doesn't think rapper Kanye West is a serious contender for the White House and would never cast a vote for the music mogul. But she is worried his candidacy could draw votes away from Democrat Joe Biden and help President Donald Trump on Nov. 3.

Biden is a figurehead who was literally propped up on stage last night. Is this a serious candidate or a political remake of Weekend at Bernies?



As for Trump I hear a lot of Dems saying that he's just in it for himself but if that were true I think he'd have avoided running for President at all. There's no profit in being President. In fact the only ones who do make money in politics are the professionals which are the exact same people that Donald Trump was elected to spite.

So who's pulling Trumps strings then? There's always more to the picture and I don't see a unified Republican show behind him, and certainly, running and winning the presidency is a tough billet, but I still think his ego provides enough reward for him to take that step. He's been hinting at it for years for that matter.

I don't get what you mean. Just because Biden is a puppet then Trump must be one as well, or is this just another instance of the Democrat tactic of accusing others for things they are guilty of themselves.

As for Republicans they are united just fine. Something like 80-90% of Republican voters have supported Trump ever since he was elected and none of the mud thrown at him has changed that.
