1. Just reported on the Rachel Maddow show.

The machines cost millions of dollars.

They are not being relocated.

They are being destroyed.

Some have shown up in dumpsters.

2. My anger is off the charts.

I want to see it matched by my elected representatives.

3. Wow!

Trump's 'Merica!

4. OMG

Please stop them. It is more than the election, which is huge, it is people’s lives. So many rely on mail order medications. Postal service is an essential service to all citizens.

7. Jeebus, does friggin' no one know how to use commas anymore?

Certainly Brian Williams shows that he doesn't.

8. It CAN happen here.

A naked power grab. Shiff is right. Trump will destroy our institutions to ensure his win.

9. Call your Representative and Senators and DEMAND

sorting machines be returned (or have them admit these million dollar machines were thrown into dumpsters).

DEMAND Congress return from vacation and begin hearings now.

Montana just proved this kind of pressure works.

11. not just remove, remove and destroy

these are highly specialized machines... they cannot easily be replaced...

The destroy part of this is to make sure, no matter what happens in congress, they cannot be put back before the election.

They are being removed from only larger cities... cities that vote for Democrats.

I'm voting in person... my original intent was to vote by mail because I am a) older, b) have a heart condition, and c) type 2 diabetic.

But I don't care... if I can I will drive to pick up a ballot as soon as they are available and then hand deliver it to my precinct. Otherwise I am wearing a mask and face shield and standing in line on election day.

We MUST remove this wannabe dictator.

12. Isn't this a misuse of government equipment? Destruction of government property?

Just because you are head of an agency does not mean you are allowed to arbitrarily destroy government equipment. You are responsible for that property. How is it possible for a government head of a department just to decide they want to destroy government property? Where is the paper trail?

17. Destruction of government property and of part of the national infrastructure. nt

13. I am surprised no one has brought up this possible unintended consequence....

This supposition is valid only if the turd does NOT flee to another country...

Yes, Absolutely, they (the turd, et al) are trying to steal the election. Ultimately, the turd is TRYING to destroy America, for his master, Putin. The turd does not give a shit for America.

But there are straws, and there are STRAWS. No one has pointed out (or are actually AFRAID to point out) a glaring possible miscalculation of screwing with the mail service...

They are delaying prescriptions, specifically, veteran's prescriptions. Veterans who are quite old, and quite ill. Prescriptions to continue living, to deal with chronic pain.

These veterans may feel that the turd and his enablers, are pissing on them after they have sacrificed much of their life for this country, and are now dealing with their final days fighting just to live.

I would bet that there are still some very good marksmen amongst them. Being a marksman may be just like riding a bike, it doesn't take much for the skill to come back...

Making them feel like they are being pissed on during their final days may NOT be the wisest of moves. They may not have much, if anything at all, to lose. At what point does the pain they are dealing with become that STRAW that breaks the camel's back?

I am afraid that THAT is what the traitors are trying to instigate (or some variation of a theme), which would result in that civil war that they are so excited about. The turd, with Barr's enthusiastic backing, along with all the senate enablers, would then be forced to declare martial law, and the US of A will cease to exist.

We will then be the newest satellite state of the United Federation of Russia. Sarah can already see Russia from her porch, and it may be just like the warning on our outside rear view mirrors, "objects may be closer than they appear"...

The turd is losing. If he loses he will go to jail. He will do anything, even turn us over to Putin.

Is this an over-reaction? Maybe, but if it isn't stopped before it starts it will be too late.

14. I wonder how many postmasters refused to remove their machines & what happened to them

for refusing to comply with un-dejoy?
