still waiting for dejoy to be abducted by camo feds in unmarked van amid teargas and rubber bullets

no?

isn't that how they handle destruction of federal property?

or is that only when it involves something far more destructive, like spray paint?

I bet we all agree here.

Interfering with the US mail is a felony regardless of who it is or how it is done. It appears that he has allegedly done that to "fix" the election rather than for the excuse of cost cutting. It certainly is not about efficiency or improvements.

I think he should be indicted and discovery should begin in order to determine that.

how hard can it really be to let an organization deteriorate through neglect and "cost saving" measures that they could argue were policy decisions?

instead, they destroy sorting machines. there's really no justification for that. it's just destruction of federal property. they could have sold them for cheap to competitors, that would have been scandalous as well, but they could have argued they needed the money or something. or just let them break from normal wear and tear and refuse to buy parts so they remain idle, but hey, "saving money".

no, they have to find one of the few things that has zero justification whatsoever.

Amazing bravado. Maybe the pride and arrogance will be their downfall.

Meanwhile, when we win, we will have to fix all that and replace the destroyed machines so there goes the cost-cutting. I think they cost millions.

Just put the "fix" on our tab, I guess. What a waste.

extreme overkill militaristic reaction to peaceful protests marred by a small amount of graffiti and broken windows. maybe thousands of dollars of damage.

dead silence and nothing when they literally destroy millions of dollars of equipment.
