Trump says he'll block funding for the Post Office in an effort to prevent voters from casting ballots by mail https://t.co/s3m31HZPk7

Trump admitted out loud that he's doing exactly what it looks like he's doing. WI Sen. Ron Johnson admitted out loud he's doing exactly what it looks like he's doing, too. This is because Trump is a goddamn cheat, but keep in mind, he gets help in his cheating. And even though small businesses and seniors and vets rely on the mail to survive, keep in mind the Trump Administration selectively screwed up the COVID-19 testing and emergency response because they thought it was only affecting blue states. Depraved indifference and criminal negligence, in addition to bald-faced cheating, seem to be traits the GOP are actively proud of now, in addition to casual racism and sheer ignorance.
In other words, it's a day ending in "y".
UPDATE: Sheesh--I forgot to add, Trump is pretty brazen about how he wants to use the power of government to maintain his on hold in other ways. Barr, for one, model of compliance that his is, is not beyond Trump caviling at.

The good news is that these guys are grossly incompetent. The GOP's rural base is uniquely dependant on the postal service; this whole thing will blow up in their faces and it's not going to take very long for it to happen.
Thanks to his ineptitude, self-destructive nature and communication skills, Trump has effectively guaranteed that the USPS will get protection and funding from Congress, and the long quiet GOP campaign to gut the USPS will finally get some sunlight and will hopefully die.
-->The future of the Postal Service is actually safer how that Trump has tried to kill it.
