1. If DeJoy's behind it... IT STINKS

The only reason that corrupt stooge is in the USPS is to further the Fuhrer's malfeasance...

[Cha]

2. I want De Criminal in Prison, too.

[oasis]

3. "Off duty"? Are they all staying home on paid leave?

That doesn't make sense.

[soothsayer]

20. Not off duty -- just can't investigate off premises

Postal inspectors still can go anywhere, but they don’t work around the clock like on-premises postal police do at 24-hr facilities.

It’s still troubling, just not as severe (unless something has changed, which I don’t think so)

4. Actually, I thought he did this weeks ago.

[PSPS]

11. Yes, two months ago, August 25th. "DailyKos" likes to generate clicks.

[Grokenstein]

5. The motive is obvious.

If I were a postal inspector, I'd go in anyway, and report any and all unusual activity to whomever will listen.
But I'm not, so I can only hope the incoming government will reimburse them for any such pro bono work.
...and jail DeJoy for the rest of his life.

[soothsayer]

21. Postal inspectors aren't affected by this as far as I know

Just the postal police.

[waddirum]

22. Postal Inspectors are the Postal Police

It’s just the name they use.

[soothsayer]

23. They're slightly different

Snip

Postal Police officers previously would go off-site “to protect letter carriers and the mail in dangerous areas, to stop mail theft from carriers and from collection boxes, and to insure the safety of the mail at airports,” the lawsuit explains, noting officers responded to an increase in attacks on mail carriers and crimes like “mail fishing” to steal mail from USPS collection boxes.

While Postal Inspectors have similar law-enforcement duties to Postal Police officers, they typically work only during business hours, the lawsuit notes, making Postal Police officers, who work “around the clock,” the only ones capable of handling issues that happen outside of regular business hours.

6. DeJoy doesn't want them around making trouble for him. The USPS Police are

absolute straight shooters, they don't play around, and they have no sense of humor.
They would pose a huge problem for anyone involved in 'vote by mail shenanigans".

7. Subtlety is not their strong suit, is it?

[Elwood P Dowd]

8. I did both a Google and DuckDuckGo search, and cannot find anything about this.

Is this just an internet rumor, or something legit?

[PSPS]

10. That's because it actually happened two months ago.

[PSPS]

9. This actually happened on August 25th. "DailyKos" isn't exactly known for its accuracy.

[CatWoman]

12. Rachel did a segment on this earlier tonight

[Elwood P Dowd]

13. So what happened after that?

Did anyone, Federal Judge, Congress, anyone put a stop to it?

[TreasonousBastard]

14. I thought a Federal judge stopped it. (But maybe not.)

[NurseJackie]

19. By "Munchausen" (This content is not subject to review by Daily Kos staff prior to publication.)

15. Trump keeps saying the mail is rigged, so Trumpers feel obligated to rig it. n/t

[Eyeball_Kid]

16. THIS is why the Dems have to win by obscene margins. n/t

17. Kicking for the early morning crowd.

[Nexus2]

18. Did the odd refusal to allow federal officials into postal facilities

begin months ago as well?

[soothsayer]

24. Yep that's been going on

[Nexus2]

27. Man, I'm real surprised more of a stink wasn't stirred up by that

[soothsayer]

28. I know! There's just too much else happening I guess

This was in September

25. On January 21st, the day after DeJoy is fired,

he should be arrested for interfering with a federal election.

EVERY person who has enabled the turd to interfere with the will of the people, or assisted our worst foreign enemy OVER this country, should be arrested. Rudy? You listening? (Not to mention ALL the repub enablers...)

Do the same at the FBI, CIA, CDC, ABC through XYZ, and every other acronym. Purge with an enema. Let's get back to using the long term career employees who work for the constitution, NOT the party or a president.

NO EXCEPTIONS. MAKE THEM PAY!!!

Empty the jails of those who are there for victimless crimes. Let's empty the jails so we can fill them back up with those who deserve to be there. Fill the jails with the traitors. Being a treasonous traitor is NOT a victimless crime.

Then, in a related effort, start on the police departments. Purge ALL racists, white supremacists, bigots of all stripes. QUIT HIRING BULLIES.

I think that would be a good start! And THINK of the jobs that would be created, cleaning up this mess!!! It could be part of Joe's full employment program! If you are in jail for treason, YOU DON'T NEED A JOB!!!

26. What a douche

I'm glad I voted and used an official drop box. Everyone should have easy access to voting.
