President Donald Trump blasted Republicans Wednesday on Twitter -- tagging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a rare move -- for "allowing the Democrats to have ridiculous Post Office hearings on Saturday & Monday, just before and during our Convention" as Democrats revisit questions surrounding the selection process of Trump's controversial postmaster pick.

Under mounting concerns with mail-in voting and increased scrutiny in recent weeks for enacting a series of measures meant to streamline the Postal Service, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to testify at a GOP-controlled Senate hearing on Friday and a Democratic House hearing on Monday -- the first day of the Republican National Convention.

"Let them hold them NOW (during their Convention) or after our Convention is over. Always playing right into their hands," Trump said in a tweet, tagging McConnell.

However, it is Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which called on DeJoy to testify after Democrats demanded he do so.

2. Headline writers, not "Trump blasted," but...

“Trump wobbly-wimped in Moscow Mitch’s general direction.”

NEVER use power words when describing IMPOTUS.

3. "Whined" Would Work

Sure seems like more whining, to me.

6. I guess "lashed out" has run its course. Finally.

That, or he ran out of lashes.

4. Onlike Trump, Moscow's Mitch has a clue about being re-elected.

7. McTurtle has no control over the Monday hearing

And he probably tried to schedule the senate's hearing so that it would not coincide with their convention.

Any softball question that rethug senators ask or any time that what's-his-face refuses to answer will be asked by Democrats on Monday.

Turtle brain is either the world's worst scheduler or he's being sneaky in sabotaging chumpy. He undoubtedly is sick to death of chump's complete lack of..., well..., everything.

Sometimes I feel a little bad for those Republicans who don't recognize their party anymore, and who long for the days when they could believe that the GOP was simply about not giving a shit about poor people
