Not easy to stand by as a convict takes over your country, hires a cabinet of circus acts and drives your country face down into the dirt.
Wasn't the initial USPS hiring of DeJoy related to:
1) The GOP (and 1 Orange infant) failing to support the idea that all US voters should be able to easily cast their votes. Revenge for the loss to Biden.

Maybe Dump's clown posse can tag one of us into their next online chat, and we can all receive live updates as they plow through their genius-level thought processes.
Of course they are going to try to privatize the USPS. It's the revenge tour, …

The market went up today, so that's clearly our grand leader's doing.
If the market ever goes down or anything bad in the world happens, it's Joe Biden's fault.
MAGA logic.
@a2z, excellent post. Perfectly summarizes the MAGA lens.

Agreed, Crash - MAGA has the art of gaslighting down to a science.
TWS vs. TDS - they have us split at close to 50%/50%. A nation divided, and in the process of being conquered from within.
