    Imagine our President with a YUGE chit eating grin on his face. Our post master general is BASED, and their phony ballots SHALL NOT PASS. Trump’s smart. Best decision I ever made. Mostly worried about what comes after. Let's see.

    Pence as Potus, Trump as VP.

    Pence steps down, Trump is Potus again.

    Trump appoints Pence as VP.

    Pelosi calls members back to Capitol Hill to consider USPS legislation, calls post office 'Election Central'
    Pelosi went on to slam Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, calling him a “top Trump mega-donor” who has “proven a complicit crony as he continues to push forward sweeping new operational changes that degrade postal service, delay the mail, and – according to the Postal Service itself – threaten to deny the ability of eligible Americans to cast their votes through the mail in the upcoming elections in a timely fashion.”

    Figures she will call members back to work on cheat-by-mail, but not to strip the pork out of their $3.5 trillion porkulus fake relief package.

    Shows you where Democrats' priorities are right now. Screw COVID relief, we have an election to steal.

    You guys realize that millions of Americans use Absentee Ballots (hell, Trip uses them) and that slowing down Postal service around the election increases the likelihood that thousands of real, legitimate absentee ballots won't reach their destinations, right.

    You also realize that if Trump isn't legally re-elected and installed in office by January 20th, that Pence is out as well.
    And if the election is ruled void by the Supreme Court (say that Trump sues claiming that the election ballots are falsified) that The House of Representatives is forced to pick the new President by that date.

    What possible outcome do you see here? Except for grandstanding, what is Pelosi going to achieve here? She can't get a law signed. She can't make the Senate move. All she has is the spectacle of herself looking every bit the tyrant she's become.

    I liked the test that news station conducted. The Post Office lost a crapload of votes, lol.

    Cheat-by-mail would overstress the existing USPS capacity for being able to deliver mail, which is already a pretty lousy record. I did read the USPS is temporarily increasing pricing to try and make up for some of its poor financial performance.

    nobody has issues with absentee ballots. Go request yours at your registers today and get the process rolling so the ballot gets in in time.

    i’ve not had any issues with my mail, but some areas might have but sadly the Post Office has had issues since the obama years and needs to be fixed. If you want your absentee vote to count you need to prepare for it...that or to be sure listen to the expert, De Fauci and go vote in person

    In addition to making it painfully obvious that Democrats think cheat-by-mail is necessary for them to win the election.

    The House can put together a funding package for the Post Office that's ready on the day the Senate returns - otherwise it's going to be delayed while it's hashed out in committee. I'm sorry that you don't understand how spending bills become law.

    It's not.

    They came down and Republicans didn't budge. Republicans aren't concerned at all about the working class.

    Who will move on it in the Senate? Would the president even consider signing it. I'm sorry you don't understand how the legislature works....

    Maybe he was referring to the fact that the President would still have to sign it, or that the Senate might not take it up when they get back.

    If Democrats really wanted it to pass, all they had to do was put together a CLEAN bill without pork or other unrelated laws, and extend the prior act. A one-pager would suffice.

    Why haven't they done that for America?

    You realize Absentee ballots go through the mail, right? If Trump is defunding the Post Office to the extent that it slows down other forms of mail in ballots, it will slow down Absentee ballots as well, right?

    Ain't rocket science, dude.

    Possibly, but the volume of mail would be substantially more with cheat-by-mail. Frankly, cheat-by-mail is just not something you try to put into place when you're just months away from an election.

    There is a a Republican led Senate. Where's their bill?


    Have you always been against mail in? It's not new, and a process more than likely older than you.

    Spending originates in the House. They did have a $1.5 trillion proposal, though. So, the Senate was ready for a clean bill.

    The House does what it can do - and what they can do is have a bill that's ready for the Senate on the day the Senate returns.
    They can call the Post Master General to testify before Congress what his intentions are so that the American People can put pressure on the Senate and President to not slow down the mail during an election where millions of Absentee votes are cast.

    I do...and Trump hasn’t defunded the Post Office....you do know the President doesn’t control funding for any agency right? especially the post office since it’s self funded and has been since 1970

    They could put a moratorium on junk mail for three months, too, to help cut down the work load.

    First off, Trump hasn't defunded USPS. Thats just another fake leftist talking point. He canned Pelosi's request to throw 25 billion at USPS for her vote by mail agenda.

    Second, no matter how much money you throw at USPS, there is no way they could be ready for an entire nation to vote by mail in 90 days. It took years just to get absentee votes close to being right and they still have an unacceptable loss of votes not counted to date.

    Then you have the ballot harvesters who would be out in masses. Why would anyone think having your ballot out of the chain of custody is a good idea given the fact we have already seen those results in California and Brevard county Florida in 2018.
