They’re going for the pension money, mail in ballots, as a way to hurt (certain) people that get payments, meds, legal docs, & as a way to roll it over to the private sector for max profit. DeJoy intentionally broke it to say it’s so broke it’ll have to be privatized. Guess who owns a shipping co?
It seems that the whole point of this administration is to privatize the entirety of government and award the contracts to the people who kiss his ass the most. Aside from the feckIess loyalty he demands from his sycophants, I wonder what percentage of the business he is asking for in return.
I love voting by mail. We are older and live in a very rural area of Ohio. I can track our ballots, and I know our votes counts. My husband receives his meds from the VA by mail too. I know many people are in the same boat as we are.
The USPS is next. Why would Elonald want their hands on the postal service? Because it generates revenue that can be directed towards their personal wealth. While they do rely on the federal govt to prop them up, they have the ultimate pawn in that they can charge what they want.
Just like the FAA. The FAA budget is $20 billion, but the taxes earned on the revenue generated by the aviation industry is over $200 billion. That is why Elonald wants it privatized. That is a 10 fold return on their investment that didn't cost them a penny.
I immediately recalled this speech Trump made in 2024 and his longstanding frustration with and desire to get control of mail-in voting. If he goes forward with “illegally” taking control of USPS, the fix is in.
This is specifically under the purview of Congress unless he A) ignores the Constitution or B)amends the Constitution. He has no legal right to do any of what is being discussed. Zero. Will the Congress do anything to stop him? I doubt it. So then the Constitution means nothing.
I wish you would post things like this that's actually readable. The WSJ wants you to pay to read the article. Imagine the click thrus if the links went to a good source. Just Sayin.
The USPS is one of the nation’s largest employers of our Veterans. One out of five postal carriers is former military. Upwards of 100,000 people.
This illegal plan could upend the lives of our veterans, their families and their communities!
Call your REPS AND THE SENATE

Remind the Scared Lying Sacks of Shit.
If they think ELON will primary them.
Just wait until AMERICA VOTERS
get done with them.
Weird You. tube didn't want me to post this innocuous weird truth.
WE are being suppressed folks.
STOP THEM NOW
Control the media. Control the courts.
Control the military.
Control Congress.
Control financial system.
Control the mail service ….mail in voting!
All moving with warp speed. We must ramp up NOW! Rise up with bold, aggressive, coord. to target Rep. to stand up! They need courage from the masses.
Thanks for your question! The President appoints board members. He could have appointed new people, but he reappointed people Trump had chosen during his first term as President.
The post office coup will have the largest effect on America’s democratic future. Through hackers they will control votes and tallies. When Americans demand a paper count (physically verifiable), maga will control the post office as well.
We also have the answer why Bezos was sitting on the stage at the inauguration and why Prime paid Melania $40m for rights to he unwritten like story. - JK Rowling was paid $3m for rights to her first four HP books. Which were already bestsellers.
Why are we talking about voting and democracy anymore?! With Elon and his starlink satellite there’s no point in voting. It would just white wash Trumps corruption
Fascists don't follow rules of law. I wrote every dem & told them their guardrails would do nothing to stop fascists from dismantling everything. Apparently, they all forgot 1930s history. Arrogant of them to think they could control him, just like Germans in 30s, thought they could control Hitler.
Trumps Supreme Court Immunity is ONLY for "official acts"! It is illegal to privatize the post office. Because federal law establishes the postal service as a core function of the government, privatizing USPS would require Congress to pass a new law. "Official Acts" everyone!! Precedent required!!
When will he have time to do this? In between golf games? It’s not like he actually runs anything right now. Elon seems to be doing all the work. So this means Elon is gonna take over the Postal Service. Or maybe he’ll let Bezos.
That's simply not possible for a lot of people. I am legitimately out of state during voting periods. Much of our military votes by mail. People with disabilities or in medical/nursing facilities vote by mail. It's another way to disenfranchise a large part of the electorate.
Except there are states trying to pass bills that call anyone dropping off a ballot for someone else "ballot harvesting" and making it illegal. No. This is a blatant move to either disenfranchise voters or rig elections. How many blue-state ballots will get "lost" in a private mail system?
We know it's going to be a problem. I don't think 1 person delivering a ballot for 1 relative will be illegal. There will be lawsuits for sure.
NJ used a mobile voting unit after hurricane Sandy..to reach emergency workers and shelters.
Maybe an alternative. I know that one State already does this.
Yes. The answer is yes. But if you drop off your ballot, its impossible to screw over people who mail-in votes. Which is why I always go to the Clerks office and do it in person.
Those rural voters that most likely depend on the postal service more than anyone are about to find out that they have to pay more for less spotty service in the future.
The postal SERVICE, like other gov agencies isn't there to make a profit. It provides necessary services to the American people, funded, in whole or in part, by our tax dollars. Trump destroys everything he touches, sometimes on purpose, other times because he is so fucking stupid
We used to have that in UK until 2011 Fwee market gov wannabe scumbags sold it.
Now a complete shower, letters delivered every 3-5days, every yr cost stamps rise above inflation 4 a worse service, the postal vans are not maintained and stock sold, & Gov subsidies claimed seem to pay for rental vans.
Then you’ll have Gov bailouts with your tax money to feed these corporations even tho the contracts given already paid for by consumers are broken with the companies whom sucked money out in dividends🤬
FAFO Bezos! All that ass kissing did you no good. Amazon rural delivery prices to go through the roof. No more sponging off the US Post Office at our expense. Leopard at the face.
and Dejoy needs to get to work on working directly with King Trump to Raise the prices of the Post office to Be higher than private shipping companies to force businesses and ind to stop using the USPS so trump can have a reason to dismantle it.
the fix is in.
Forever. These men have to die then maybe if we Uday and Qusay their weird Nero-like heirs in the distant futures we might have freedom after another Holocaust maybe sort of. Your great great great great grandchildren might be free kinda or probably slaves still.
You seem to appreciate plain speaking. If so, this is a MUST LISTEN TO. If only Democrats in leadership positions would lay it on the line like this........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk0nUUqG_Ag
Disagree? We have a choice? 🤷♀️ I think we all need to plan which body parts we’re okay with selling and have a backup plan to starving to death (and I mean a planning peaceful exit, because full pantries are for rich people).
Yes, let his incompetence run wild. Chaos will ensue and he will soon run out of excuses and scapegoats. It will take some time and it will be brutally and almost unbearably painful but that is the only way to purge him from society. Strap on your seatbelts!
It sucks but I see no other way. Trump supporters need to suffer from Trump’s terrible policies. They need their rural school districts struggle to keep the lights on, rural airports closed along with the library, urgent care clinics, all of it.
Yes and no. In rural, low density communities, trump supporters are the super majority. In suburbs, they are not BUT because of the population density there probably are more Trump supporters in the suburbs.
He's wanted it from the very beginning. He purposely tried to ruin it to make it cheaper for him. In the beginning, he wanted the huge cash reserves. Now he just wants the exclusive contract with the fed govt
Fun fact: USPS already tracks every piece of mail you get via actual scanned images; if you think you're off the grid by using paper, think again. Now Trump & Elon will access that info as well. Scary times!
Trump, the felon, as president does not own the country. He cannot just legally take over the Post Office and other agencies. He will be taken to court if he tries.
I despise Louis DeJoy with every fiber of my being and I am a volcano of rage at what he has been doing to the USPS for years. His “work” there is done. #tarandfeatherthefucker
Our only recourse is people in the streets.
Europeans are already marching in massive numbers against Musk
and FOR the US.
We need to do that here.
+ Economic Boycotts
+ Labor Strikes
This move by Trump is the tipping point to full dictatorship. It’s illegal on so many levels, but it’ll happen. I’m telling you now, if he gets away with this - and he will - next up: disband Congress. SCOTUS will remain silent.
Folks, WE HAVE NO CONSTITUTION. WE HAVE NO GOVERNMENT.
That was the plan from the beginning. DeJoy will take the blame (rightly) for ballots being "mishandled" and boxes burning etc. and Trump will deny any knowledge, IF and when you ever have another election. I don't know why you all put up with this form of governance, it is proudly anti-democratic.
He can’t legally do that without Congress, but who will stop him? So now 620,000 postal workers are now worrying about their future & wondering if their retirement benefits are down the drain just so some fat billionaires can gorge themselves on our dime.
Trumps executive orders resemble Putin’s Russia , don’t you think? How many times he praised Putin in the past , called him a brilliant leader .. he is taking over as an oligarch now and feeds Americans it’s for the greater good of all . Modern Communism with some more equal than others in making
We have drop boxes at the fire stations. Election officials come and pick up the ballots. You can mail them too but the drop boxes would be a way around the mail
States like WA and OR that only have vote by mail need to be paying really close attention to this. Also, there are a lot of repub voters in those states too.
Eight states and Washington, D.C., allow all elections to be conducted entirely by mail: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state.
That’s what Trump and Elon and the right wing want. Privatize the postal service. Then Trump and Elon and their cronies will be owners and screw all of us.
We’re told for 4 years that Biden couldn’t fire DeJoy-he absolutely should have gotten rid of him. And here comes FOTUS firing the whole board!
Forget about mail in voting - States better come up w/ new plans IF we even have more elections. Thanks democrats for being asleep at the wheel for years.
It's all about the mail-in ballots. But wait ... didn't he encourage mail-in last year? Regardless, this transition should go just as well as all of the other destruction since Jan. 20.
USPS has been on the GOP chopping block for 20 years now and they want to privatize it since it “doesn’t make a profit.” But the US Mail is a “service” not a for-profit business.
When they have to compete with FedEx, UPS, etc, don’t be surprised when it cost $15(+) to mail a birthday card.
I agree that the GOP wants to get rid of the USPS but wanted to add that it’s funded by postage, products and services. The government does not fund it.
Dismantling the US Postal Service will close post offices in small towns costing all those postal workers their jobs. Rural communities rely on postal carriers for mail, medications and much more. This is despicable
Eyes wide open people, this lunatic and his minions (Elon)any company are systematically taking control of all facets that have yours and mines information. Control free speech and the peoples purse. No where our money comes from and their road to Dictatorship will be a success. WE WILL ALL LOSE
I can't wait to see how this is going to crash out. Keep knocking down load bearing walls while your inside the house. That is going to work out just fine.
Saw that last year? Trump wanted to raise shipping costs to Amazon since they ship through postal service. Guess if he takes PO over, he gets his way and you pay more for your purchase?
Many people in the United States spend their entire life working for the United States Postal Service (USPS). This is a rewarding career and comes with many benefits that include an excellent retirement plan. Trump may end this.
Winning the birth lottery is not smart. Underperforming the market is not smart. Playing a savvy businessman on a TV show does not make you smart - especially when you've sucked at business.
This will impact voting, and isn't that the real plan? We are going to need many, many more polling places and transportation for those unable to get to the polling places on their own, and employers willing to give voters time off to get to the polls.
BREAKING NEWS
Alnur Mussayev, a 71 year old former Soviet intelligence officer has alleged Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename "Krasnov."
So... #RepubliKKKans are now for nationalizing industries? Awesome. Let's start with SpaceX and Tesla, and then sell them to USA and GM and reduce the deficit.

ps Let’s hear those arguments again on why Biden couldn’t get rid of DeJoy, even while we knew DeJoy was cooking the books for the felon.
Control the military.
Control Congress.
Control financial system.

All moving with warp speed. We must ramp up NOW! Rise up with bold, aggressive, coord. to target Rep. to stand up! They need courage from the masses.
and to eliminate mail in voting making it harder for people to exercise their rights
And to eliminate Mifepristone and deny women of their reproductive rights
It’s done for purely evil purposes
I don't recall voting to install a king or we should confirm 90 court jester clowns to the Presidential Cabinet.
One would think our Representatives would make more responsible choices.
We are fools. Instead of posting here like little kids, why are we not marching, blocking streets, boycotting daily, etc
We are acting like MAGAs. We need to get off our phones and in their faces!
WHEN ARE THE UNmen of the Republican party going to stand up and DEFEND THEIR OWN FAMILIES!
They're killing kids in the midwest, all in the name of TRUMP!
#trump #doge
Don't soft peddle trimp's bullshit.
Every thing trimp does is prelude to another crime to enrich himself.
Period
Say goodbye to mail in ballots.
He's got his orange cheeto laden fingers everywhere, even where he has no oversight.

The PO is a quasi gov't entity.
Let him fail. It’s going to suck, but arguing with him or opposing him just gives him excuses.

Why even leave the house ? Everything's fine. Right ? ... ??
They are after the Postal Retirement Fund.
This is a robbery in progress.

The TV people tell them what to think about what is happening.
Since the government has been depositing their benefits directly, they probably think they don't need it....
Oops!
the cost of mailing letters & packages?
If they privatize it, someone has to be making a PROFIT, right?!
