Trump admits he's refusing to fund the Postal Service to stop mail-in voting

Trump said in March that 'if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again.'

Donald Trump on Thursday admitted that he is trying to sabotage an effort to increase the number of people who can vote by mail in 2020 by blocking funding to the United States Postal Service — supporting fears that Trump is purposefully obstructing efforts to make voting during the coronavirus pandemic safer.

Trump's admission came in an interview with Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo.

"They want $3.5 billion for the mail-in votes, universal mail-in ballots. They want $25 billion, billion, for the post office. Now they need that money in order to have the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. Now in the meantime they aren't getting there. By the way, those are just two items. But if they don't get those two items, that means you can't have universal mail-in voting because they're not equipped to have it," Trump said.

He continued his assertions, saying, "So if you didn't have it, you wouldn't ..." before resuming his complaints about how much money was under discussion.

Now that the country has finally seen a person perform a outright criminal act of denying people the demands to have there vote counted and then the country gets this from his depression maker economic advisor also admitting that this corrupt team is breaking the law and now doing it publicly...........................

but you can damned well believe I’ll be carrying the ballots of anyone I know who CAN’T vote in person with me to be dropped directly into the ballot box. That tangerine-lookin’ piece of shit will NOT be stealing this election!

7. He's being an AH again! The hear of the Postal Workers Union was on MSNBC last night. She said

we are perfectly capable of handling the mail-in votes, but people need to be sure to send their votes easrlier than they usually do. We would just have a problem with the usual flood of mail at the last minute. I believe her far more than the orange dipstick!

13. Kind of insulting to drug dealers to compare them to that cast of quislings, no?

[Towlie]

14. I'm comparing logic, not people.

Maybe someone can think of a more appropriate allegory for a petition that will only draw laughter from those to whom it's directed.
