1. Yes, but does that guarantee they'll pick up the mail that's in them on time?

4. What gets me

is that trump is doing all this crap right in front of us and repubs do/say nothing. We must keep up the fight.

5. Pushing to the edge of the law, or even breaking it has been a hallmark of the Trump administration

from the beginning. He pushes buttons all over the place. The ones that result in a huge public outcry are left alone. And then it's on to something else.
He's always testing to find out what is most important to people and what we are willing to tolerate.

6. I wonder...

Political operatives on both sides of the aisle been saying that the best money you can spend on a candidate right now is here in MT....meaning that those donation dollars go a long way here...Steve Daines’ senate seat could actually go blue in November with Steve Bullock nipping at his heels. I wonder if the scheme to take mailboxes in Montana was a trial run at voter suppression in this state? It’s not something we typically have to deal with in Big Sky Country because we’re usually well off the national radar. Looks like those days are over. Thank you Senator Tester.

7. If we have to form a god damn human chain around the post office to protect our votes....
