The DeJoy Proposition

 

Postmaster General DeJoy unveils his 10-year plan for the USPS, which includes higher postage rates, some slower services and reduced post office hours.https://t.co/siVkZHoEkC

This man should end once and for all the bullshit folderol of "I think a business man would make government work better" because here is this genius, openly saying his business plan for the agency he runs is to make everything expensive and do it worse. 

Imagine this was an actual business business plan. "Hi. I'm doing a shit job everyone complains about, so I am going to hang in and do even more terribly." 

Add to that the conflict of interest he has (being invested in other package transportation concerns) and that he seems to have tried to help Trump sabotage the mail-in vote, launch this SOB in the direction of the sun and measure how long it takes for him to get there. It will be slow and expensive but....

Or just get him out of the postmaster general position. He doesn't seem to get that the mail is a crucial lifeline for people, and that's an important thing for someone running the post office to know. 

F*ckery Afoot

 

State Attorney wants USPS ballot audit after backlog found at Miami-Dade mail facility https://t.co/J3XRLgFgdb

It's hard not to see that backlog as some kind of election fuckery and wonder 1) who put that into (lack of) motion and 2) just where else something like this might be taking place. I think it points to an interesting dynamic though--if on one hand Trump and his supporters want to crow about a "red wave", the actions of Trump via DeJoy to slow down the postal service and GOP officials everywhere (including court conservatives) tp block voting and try to reduce the ballots acounted--and the propensity of certain Trump supporters to believe they need to engage in intimidation, clearly point to their dead certainty that there is no "red wave" or Trump victory without massive cheating on their part. 

 They do know, deep down, he's toast. There wouldn't be this kind of fuckery afoot if they did not know that. It's all proof of how much they deserve to lose and even they kind of know it.

Mail-Pattern Bald-Faced Lying

Among the more unbelievable things the current Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, tried to tell Congress the other day was that he didn't speak with the White House and never discussed the election with them at all, at all. Maybe the election wasn't the primary concern of either the White House or DeJoy, so much as wrecking the institution of the postal service in general (heaven and the public record only know how frequently Trump appointees have turned out to be anathema to the very agencies they are supposed to shepherd). But I don't think for a minute that one of Trump's big contributors has any illusions about the impact of voting on whether Trump stays president or not. Really? With DeJoy's conflicts of interest?

Also unbelievable? That when DeJoy indicates he'll put a stop to the changes that he will--uh, because no, he's said for sure he has no intention to do things like restore the sorting machines that help speed getting things sent properly and efficiently. And make no mistake, the efficiency of the postal service has badly declined since his installation. This leaves local post offices to take certain initiatives, but this is far from a satisfactory situation as more than 600 were taken offline, and there is no plan to reinstall mail boxes that have been removed.

And you can't un-kill the masses of infant poultry that the mail normally would be able to deliver with little harm, or undo the damage of the delays in veterans, disabled persons, elderly, receiving their medicines on time.

This is institutional vandalism. These dumbass self-interested pricks tried to break the system because, like immature thugs, they didn't know the value of it to other people, and were only concerned with what its operations meant to themselves. They didn't concern themselves with how to make something run well or better, but how its operation affected their investments--or even an election meaningful to them.

Well, interfering with the efficiency of the mail and tampering with voting are both criminal. From Trump's own mouth, I think we have reason to believe he has intended both, and that DeJoy has only enacted plans to facilitate both. It would be great if DeJoy resigned or showed any cognizance of wrong-doing, but I don't expect much from TrumpWorld.

He needs the screws put to him legally. and one day, Trump should get the same.
