Pelosi intends to pass a 'clean' bill for funding the postal service. By 'clean', I mean that nothing else will be on the bill.
The vote is this weekend.
If the vote passes in the house, what will Mitch do?
If Mitch kills it, Pelosi will be able to say that the repubs are trying to block vote-by-mail. If Trump kills it, Pelosi can say the same thing.
What do you think will happen, and what do you think the consequences will be.
Thank you for playing,
Freon

Well, judging from his behavior so far (for the past eight years), Mitch the Bitch will probably block consideration of the House bill. In his mind, that kills two birds: sabotages the Postal Service, and relieves Trump of having to veto the bill. What would be nice is if Mitch the Bitch does block it, it could jeopardize his re-election.
Pelosi's in the cat bird seat on this one.

It looks like there is no way for her to lose, but that's why I pose the question.
Trumpers are a strange folk, using logic that baffles me. I am curious to know how they see it.

Well, if Dick-man is representative, then they'll try to twist it into a question of whether or not you trust your mail carrier.

I don't see the word "clean" in the linked story. Is it a "clean" bill in the same way that the rioters are "peaceful"? I'm still trying to get a handle on the new leftist word meanings. Can't seem to find a written reference to the clean bill, but heard about it through NPR yesterday.
Totally reasonable to doubt the info.

Hah, you saw that. Totally intentional on my part. Odd that none of the conservatives said anything about it...

TO the extent the postmaster general announced he is halting all steps that were let of a multi year plan which had been being implemented for years - and he announced this more than two days ago - I’d say She is playing politics. In fact so transparent it’s ludicrous and actually disgusting.
What I do find pathetic, to put it mildly, is the dems had no problem holding up covid funding, which trump wanted to stand on its own, so they could add in funding for the Kennedy center for the arts and refugee resettlement. Among other pork projects.

Meanwhile, just like Michael Cohen has observed, Trump will try every dirty trick in the book to try to sabotage a free and fair election...
