The Strategy Is Working

It was suggested that the reason DEms were being so reasonable with De Joy was to get him on the record. And it seems to be working. Jeff Bennett (MSNBC) was just on reporting about the lies he told this morning. The guy didn't strike me as being very smart.

He has not and has stated he WILL NOT reinstall the boxes he's removed nor re-start the sorters he's taken off line. He has performed his duty for the cause, the rest is theater for the suckers.
That's what Nancy must get everybody to understand in their marrow. The fix is in and more than half way there already.

DeJoy will be the fall guy for these crimes but in the end if the sorting machines are not replaced and fully functional NOW, the USPS will likely be deemed a failure at their mission which is the whole point of the scheme. That and vote by mail will be sketchy at best.

Simply requiring trucks to leave on time, doesn't improve service. You need to put systems on place to allow trucks to leave on time with all the mail intended.

If I take a letter to Fed Ex and say I want it delivered from my little town in So Cal to my sister’s little town in NY, do you think they’ll do it for 42 cents?

If my friend wants to order mealy worms or lady bugs for her organic garden, how much will UPS charge for that?

For over 100 years the USPS has delivered live chicks to 4H kids, backyard farmers, and commercial growers — Promptly, alive and cheeping. Our big postal facility in Santa Clarita currently “looks like Armageddon,” according to the people who work there. They came in and not only were boxes and letters jumbled high, but fruit flies and rodents had moved in to dispose of boxes of dead chicks and rotted food parcels. Do you think De Joy gives a rat’s patoot?

Like so many of Trump’s appointments, this guy was brought in to wreck a well-functioning federal department and replace it with a malfunctioning for-profit mega-corporation. De Joy is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

to election officials in a timely manner. When you consider he knows he could be going to jail
for slowing the mail and lying to congress if Biden is elected, I'm sure he'll do everything he
can to reelect trumpig including holding up ballots. Believe the Democratic Party needs to
start encouraging voters to hand deliver their mail in ballots and avoid mailing them with
USPS. Local Democratic offices need to start reaching out to voters who might have difficulties
hand delivering their ballots.

and to me it looked like 'Oh DeJoy' was lying his ass off. Having an investigation by Skype is extremely kind to the person being investigated. There is no sense of gravity and solemnity as there is in an investigation in the House Cambers. 'Oh DeJoy' was in his living room, probably not wearing pants and masturbating while he was being asked questions. I don't trust the guy as far as I could throw him (and I have serious back problems). He's a Trump loyalist who would lie his ass off because he sees a big pay day coming from Trump if he wins a second term. It's up to us to make sure that doesn't happen.

These folks never learn, or never suspect it will be them but Trump will throw anyone to the sharks, his kids included, if push comes to shove. It's the way of a narcissist. Everyone else is a useful idiot to them.

get it all out there, and then the Dems of the House committee have the weekend to pick it apart and throw it in his face on Monday. Perfect!
