Trump blasts McConnell over timing of Senate hearing with postmaster general
Source: ABC news
President Donald Trump blasted Republicans Wednesday on Twitter -- tagging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a rare move -- for "allowing the Democrats to have ridiculous Post Office hearings on Saturday & Monday, just before and during our Convention" as Democrats revisit questions surrounding the selection process of Trump's controversial postmaster pick.
Under mounting concerns with mail-in voting and increased scrutiny in recent weeks for enacting a series of measures meant to streamline the Postal Service, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to testify at a GOP-controlled Senate hearing on Friday and a Democratic House hearing on Monday -- the first day of the Republican National Convention.
"Let them hold them NOW (during their Convention) or after our Convention is over. Always playing right into their hands," Trump said in a tweet, tagging McConnell.
However, it is Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which called on DeJoy to testify after Democrats demanded he do so.

Ahead of the two blockbuster hearings, DeJoy announced Tuesday he will suspend several of the cost-cutting initiatives he made until after the election in an effort "to avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she spoke with DeJoy Wednesday morning and bluntly told him his announcement to temporarily pause operational changes at the Postal Service is "not a solution and is misleading."
She said in a statement on their call that DeJoy "frankly admitted that he had no intention of replacing the sorting machines, blue mailboxes and other key mail infrastructure that have been removed and that plans for adequate overtime, which is critical for the timely delivery of mail, are not in the works."

nothing to remember. 
Ok. That was bad.
for something of which he had absolutely no control. After almost four years in office Donald Trump still doesn't know how our government works! He thinks it's one of his "family" businesses that's run by His Assholiness's fiat. 
Is he too stupid to learn, does he not want to learn, or doesn't he even care? 
And 35% of the U.S. population think he's the best president this country has ever had. 
If he gets four more years to dismantle this country, I'm moving. There's nothing left to fight for. It's gone. That's how important this election is. This election is for the very existence of the United States of America.
We just ruined tRump's convention for him! However is he going to be able to do the convention AND watch the hearings so he can tweet. Poor widdle baby. 
That's exactly what's going on. As far as altering the election by breaking the USPS, it's a fait accompli. It's already done, and there's nothing anyone can do to repair it. The sorting machines have already been dismantled and scrapped. There is no "putting them back". Trump, for all intents and purposes, is the dictator of the United States because Congressional republicans allowed him to do whatever he wanted with no repercussions. That's it. If he and Putin steal this election the United States of America ceases to exist.
