Pelosi trashes Postmaster DeJoy as being less about service and more about ‘show me the money’
Published 1 min ago on August 25, 2020By Sarah K. Burris

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell noted that the House passed a $25 billion Postal Service funding bill that the GOP-led Senate said it would not even vote on. A Reuters/Ipsos poll last week found that 78 percent of Americans, including 92 percent of Democrats and 67 percent of Republicans, agreed “a well-functioning United States Postal Service is important to having a smooth and successful election during the coronavirus pandemic.” Still, the Republican Party refused to stop the U.S. mail slowdown.

Pelosi explained that the Democrats did exactly what Trump asked but now he’s claiming he won’t sign the bill.

“So, let’s not predicate anything on what he says or does, because the association with fact, with science, with ethics, with what is right to be done for the American people, is a completely foreign notion to this president,” Pelosi said.

watch how Madam Speaker Amp's up her verbiage as we go forward. She knows were the votes are and if Donnie F's things up,well she is the President on January 21,2021 at 12:01 am Eastern Time. Then the DOJ is under her total control as to who,what,where and how they move.

A president who cares about people. All people. And is intelligent enough to deal with problems.

Oh, ya, not a russian agent!

I hope she keeps hammering the message home: the bill is there, passed by the House. The only obstacles stopping it from becoming law are Senate Republicans led by McConnell and trump.
