I post a legit link and I'm warned. Ody here can only name call for 2667 posts...but that's okay. Legit? You posted fake news and called on it. The facts easily debunk that silly PJ Media story.
I don't think I've been "name calling" for each and every one of my "2667" posts, have I?
Besides, there are some here who have incorporated name calling into their signatures, not I.
In any case, good work on calling Abe on his fake news. There's too much of that going around.

The repeated lie in the conservative mission to undermine the US Postal Service is that it is constantly in the red.
This supposed inefficiency dates back to the 2006 legislation that effectively doomed the USPS by requiring it to fund 75 years of projected pension obligations in advance, something no other government agency or private company is required to do. The USPS actually operationally shows a profit. It's just this poison pill from a Republican dominated Congress that is feeding the unconstitutional effort to sabotage the USPS.
And of course Trump is all over this, as he sees ham-stringing the USPS as a way to help ensure his own re-election. Remember what his long-time personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, recently wrote: that Trump will stop at nothing ("and I mean nothing") to ensure his re-election.
Nothing less than America's democracy is at stake here.

That's all very nice, but...
1) The author declines to comment on whether Congress should fix the problem.
2) Why the HELL can't the Postal Service fall back on Social Security and Medicare for its retirees? Like as is the case for the vast majority of American workers (including myself)? I paid into both Social Security and Medicare for most of my working life, and currently pay about $250/month out of my retirement income towards Medicare Part B plus Senior Advantage. Would be nice if Congress stepped in and covered ALL of that, but I won't get my hopes up. The exception is for the time I worked for a state university system, and because I was on research grants that started and stopped never got "vested" in their retirement system. Social Security came to my rescue there.
3) Please remove your insulting reference to me in your signature. It's childish and pathetic.

LOL according to who? You? Lom, blissfully unaware: Thor: Black people are too dumb too pass a civics test or get ID! I'M NOT RACIST! Lomelis: Uh huh. *eats popcorn* So much failure on your part. After having publicly outed yourself a a racist by desiring a return to Jim Crow to suppress the votes of those you feel are not worthy of the franchise (who gets to decide....YOU? LOL!) are flailing pathetically at this point. Desperately trying to rescue yourself from your failure, you bore me (and everyone else) with a weak-ass counter accusation that has no basis in reality, because it was YOU, Stupid-Boy, who laid out the criteria, because it is YOU, Stupid-Boy, who believes that blacks, browns and poors will fail to meet your criteria. Game, Set, and Match to me. This is what happens when your (unwarranted) opinion of yourself meets the ice-cold water of reality. Now, since your ego will demand you respond, I command you, slave, to do so. You. Won't. Be. Able. To. Help. Yourself. Take it away, John:

Yes, Lomelissa tried the same BS on me. That is, if one opposes efforts by right wing racists to deny people of color the vote, it must be because we think people of color are inferior to whites. Absolute nonsense, but characteristic of the long con these creeps keep on trying to foist on the public.

Something that I don't know has been said. I have faith in the postal workers. In the most pivotal election cycle in our lifetime I think they will rise to the occasion and prioritize election ballots to be delivered on time to the very best of their ability despite whatever obstacles are put in front of them.
They will become real American heroes.

Trump's appointee Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, is wasting no time executing the plan to cripple the USPS before the largest mail-in vote in US history. He cut work hours guaranteeing longer mail deliveries ..
Now he's removing mail sorting machines.
KING: Are you feeling these changes that are being made in Iowa?
KAROL: Yes, we are beginning to see those changes and how it is impacting the mail. Mail is beginning to pile up in our offices, and we're seeing equipment being removed. So we are beginning to see the impact of those changes.
KING: Curious - I hadn't heard about this one - equipment being removed. What equipment?
KAROL: The sorting equipment that we use to process mail for delivery. In Iowa, we are losing machines. And they already in Waterloo were losing one of those machines. So that also hinders our ability to process mail in the way that we had in the past.
KING: Sure. Sounds like it would. You've been a postal worker for 30 years? How do you feel about Louis DeJoy?
KAROL: I am not a fan. I grew up in a culture of service, where every piece was to be delivered every day. And his policies, although they've only been in place for a few weeks, are now affecting the way that we do business and not allowing us to deliver every piece every day, as we've done in the past.
Still don't think he's weaponizing the PO against voters . ??
In an interview with GOP propaganda outlet...
I guess we can all stop asking whether Donald Trump is blocking money for the U.S. Postal Service specifically in order to stop Americans from voting by mail, because he just came out and said it. On Thursday morning, the president told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that coronavirus relief talks with Democrats had broken down partly over their demand for Postal Service and election funding.
“They want $3.5 billion for the mail-in votes. Universal mail-in ballots. They want $25 billion—billion—for the post office. Now they need that money in order to have post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots, Those are just two items. But if you don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting. Because they’re not equipped to have it.”
Unquestionably Trump is a traitorous bag of shit.. Are his supporters?
Trump is not removing anything from the post office. And the post office right now has enough money to run for a year. And you idiots blaming Trump for missing mail boxes don’t know that it was your Obama and Biden that took 14,000 mail boxes away. You are morons. And that is just what you want to elect. Biden wants 11 million illegals to become citizens, and be able to work, get Medicare and social security and whatever. And you dummy will be paying for it, and Biden even told you that himself, he will be raising taxes.

Take it away, John: My proposals would prevent far more white people from voting than black people. You failed because you assumed that all white people would get a pass and that blacks would not. This is why you wouldn't be allowed to vote. You've proven to be a dumb ignorant racist. And you keep dumbing down on it. It's hilarious. Keep proving my point.
