Dear Lawd, Trump is throwing DeJoy under the bus. 🤣

Yes, let's investigate it! All of it! In excruciating detail!

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Whistleblowers reveal that the USPS is responsible for tampering with hundreds of thousands of ballots. @OANN This long time Democrat stronghold got rid of massive numbers, especially in swing states, during and before delivery of the ballots. Well documented evidence!

There will likely be news breaking about crimes Trump & DeJoy committed by kneecapping the USPS.

The tell...
Trump just tweeted more insanity- accusing the USPS of “tampering with hundreds of thousands of ballots” to hurt him.

He always projects what he is guilty of doing.

1. How devious. They must have used mystical powers to see inside the envelopes.

[DFW]

2. The election is over. DeJoy is of no further use to Trump

What was he expecting, a free condo in the tower on 5th Avenue with hot and cold running Ivanka clones?

[Cha]

64. & dejoy Didn't Deliver.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

77. DeJoy was hired to DeStroy. But he DeLivered too much of DeMail. . . . nt

[Cha]

78. Yeah, those bloody Postal

just wouldn't stop Delivering the mail/ballots!

It's their job!

[yonder]

80. +1. un-DeNiably

[MyOwnPeace]

82. DeLightful post, Bernardo!

[ProfessorGAC]

66. DeJoy Is Used To That

When XPO bought his pissant company, he cashed out & retired because XPO had no use for him. And, he knew it.
Took his $30 million or so & slithered home.
I expect him to resign from USPS by April.

[mdbl]

81. I expect Biden to get rid of him on Jan 21st

he needs to be prosecuted.

[ProfessorGAC]

87. Technically, He Can't

Postmaster General is selected by the board of governors. They each have 7 year term, and they select the PMG.
Dismissal only is done by the BoG. But, PINO appointed 5 of them.
So, unless they step down so Biden can replace them, and they choose to dump DeJoy, he can only be pressured to step down, but POTUS can just send him packing.
Unfortunately.

[MoonRiver]

89. Can Biden replace the Board of Governors?

[ProfessorGAC]

90. From What I Read, No.

Seven year terms, approved by Congress. I don't recall every detail, but I think removal needs to be for cause and also approved by Congress.
The term was set in the 70s (I think) because of cronyism appointments. Was supposed to prevent every governor from being a short term political appointment.
Not working out in the best of ways right now.

[MoonRiver]

91. Ok, thanks for that info.

[mdbl]

93. Let's hope the justice dept does something.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Sad to say,

only way DeJoy goes is he either resigns or the Board of Governors of the Post Office take him out. And that is highly unlikely because they all DeJoy Buds.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. There are three open seats on the Board of Governors. Biden can appoint people

to fill those seats, and once that has happened the Board will have a majority that can fire DeJoy. If DeJoy is indicted for something in the meantime, though, the problem would be solved.

[BComplex]

25. Did not know that, Velveteen Ocelot!! Great news!

We really need to fix the post office that the republicans have been trying to break for over a decade.

[Wellstone ruled]

33. Did not know either,

hopefully those who were kicked out return or at least folks from within are appointed to the board.

Hope for the best.

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Vote by mail is here to stay.

[Gregory Peccary]

47. You are more optimistic than I

I fully expect Red states to do major overhauls to curtail mail in voting

[Wellstone ruled]

58. Sure as hell they will try.

Vote by mail is a double edged sword. Republicans will surfer as much as we dems if they do their suppression crap,and with Biden appointing members to the Election Committee,just ain't going to fly.

[Nululu]

60. They're working to bring back Jim Crow laws

They want to exclude voters.

[EndlessWire]

37. Good news! n/t

[rurallib]

45. I thought the Board had nine members?

let me check:

"Can have up to nine members" currently has six
https://about.usps.com/who/leadership/board-governors/

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

50. Which means Biden can stack the Board and get DeJoy's ass fired.

[onetexan]

49. K&R

[Captain Zero]

51. Biden should appoint some former POSTAL INSPECTORS to that Board

Postal Inspectors can be pretty bad-ass and they are committed to the US Mail.

[flibbitygiblets]

59. Weren't Postal Inspectors the ones who arrested Bannon on that yacht?

[ScratchCat]

4. I'm guessing that at this point

Virtually everybody must have been in on that plan to rig the election against Trump. We've got:

FBI
DOJ
USPS
Republicans in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Nevada
Intelligence Agencies
Hugo Chavez
George Soros
Computers
Random poll workers

And I a sure I have forgotten some.

I just don't get how educated, rational people can take this man seriously or believe a thing that comes out of his mouth.

[Nevilledog]

8. 81+ million people who voted for Biden, can't forget their part in the "conspiracy"

[lastlib]

73. Guilty! Proud co-conspirator here!

for over five years, I've wanted to be on tRumpski's enemies list! This might be as close as I can get.

[Midnightwalk]

15. I want credit too

And not just by voting. I can’t let you know the details right now, but trust me it was huge.

[BComplex]

26. Ha ha ha ha!!!

You'd better be careful!! They're coming for you next!!

[LiberalArkie]

17. Hate and money

[backroadblast]

28. I have to admit something.........

I was in on it, as well as my entire family.

[Squinch]

32. I know I was.

[Wellstone ruled]

36. You forgot Elvis

The Tooth Fairy,and Santa Claus.

[Dream Girl]

41. Don't forget all those black people

Black voters = fraud

[paleotn]

79. Occam shakes his head.

and then facepalms.

Oh, his sycophants? Some are racist fucks and he hates who they hate. Some are authoritarian types, always in search of a leader to tell them what to do and think. Most evilgelicals fall in this category. Some feel he's a means to certain ends and could care less how fascist he gets as long as they get what they want. Some are actual card carrying nazis. Same bunch of flotsam that flocked to Hitler's NSDAP party in the early 30's. Nothing new under the sun.

[MyOwnPeace]

83. "I just don't get how educated,

rational people can take this man seriously or believe a thing that comes out of his mouth."

If there are any "scientists" left after this BunkerBoy Mis-administration, we may need them to help figure this out.........

........... and there's over 70 million of them!

[liberal N proud]

5. So trump had DeJoy dismantle the post office

Then when that failed, he is now blaming him?

It can’t get more fucked than that.

[MyOwnPeace]

84. Saw it posted elsewhere...........

THE reason IQ45 is SO pi$$ed is that he was assured that the election was in the bag for him. SOMEBODY told him that it was all covered, just like last time.

Think about it - he lost by 7 million votes.

IF they did inded "fix" the votes, how many more did he REALLY lose by!

[malaise]

6. He always projects what he is guilty of doing.

+1,000

Goafuckingway Killa Con!

[panader0]

38. exactly--trump installed DeJoy to f**k up the ballots.

That's what DeJoy did. It's impossible to tell whether more D or more R ballots were F'd.
But for donnie, he's running out of people to blame......

[wnylib]

53. There actually was a case near

Buffalo where a USPS employee was caught by border patrol at the entrance to Canada with a bagful of several hundred pieces of undelived mail. This included about 13 ballots or ballot requests (don't remember which). He admitted that this was the 4th time he had done this.

It was back in October or maybe late September so I don't recall the man's name. No more details on his case.

[DENVERPOPS]

70. It is projection

and also the RepubliCON way, put the dems on defense and they have little time for offense.

It's like when we were kids and one cut a fart. He would immediately say: Ok, who cut the cheese. All the others were immediately busy denying they were the one.

It's not just Trump. He may have mastered the technique, but the RepubliCONs have been doing the projection thing for years.
And projections close cousin: Gaslighting.........

[MyOwnPeace]

85. "and one cut a fart."

You grew up with Rudy?

[Vinca]

7. Rumor has it that invisible termites invaded post offices around the country and devoured all

the Trump ballots. You know why? Biden voters used ink that smelled like garlic and termites don't like garlic. Now . . . take that one to a court. The invisible termites are willing to testify!

[Mike 03]

9. This might solve one nagging problem. Some of us have been predicting a

pardon for Louis DeJoy, who almost certainly needs one. Now it is not so certain, leaving him a sitting duck to be prosecuted for a multitude of U.S.-mail interference felonies.

[crickets]

67. Isn't that lovely? I can't wait to see it! nt

[UCmeNdc]

10. Agree!

[wiggs]

11. We know that tens of thousands of ballots were delayed...postmarked before election day

but not arriving in time to be counted in various states (reported just a few days ago).

I think legal pathways should be explored wrt Dejoy not conducting sweeps as ordered by the court, not giving priority to ballots, dismantling sorting machines, and depriving tens of thousands of voters their rights. USPS and WH should be investigated vigorously for months...due to clear suppression and civil rights violations. Then the ballots should be counted to see if any close down-ballot races would have been changed.

The whole usps episode is a treacherous, undemocratic, outrageous abuse of power and likely illegal...but only if investigated and/or lawsuits brought. Were the voters whose ballots were mailed but not delivered in a timely manner notified? If so, could they not enter a class action suit, perhaps with the help of the aclu, moveon, or other organizations? Seems super important....

[Progressive dog]

18. Where did you get this information?

Please provide a link.

[Hoyt]

21. Sweeps, etc., were the responsibility of the local Post Offices. Are you saying, postal workers

ditched ballots?

Actually, there wasn't much -- if any -- proof of ballots being delayed unless voters were stupid enough to mail a ballot a few days before Nov 3. In that case, it's obvious who was at fault.

[wiggs]

55. No, not saying workers ditched ballots. I'm observing and reading that usps policies and

capabilities were changed to intentionally slow down delivery of ballots around election time...the result appears to be that tens of thousands of ballots could have been delayed just long enough not to arrive in a timely manner.

It took court orders to get the usps to perform its basic function according to past practice re ballots, and it's fortunate that more ballots weren't affected. Why did this happen? And whose idea was it? How many voters were disenfranchised in which states? Were laws broken? Were court orders followed or not? We've heard about destruction of sorting machines, elimination of overtime, reduction of mail drop boxes, empty delivery trucks which weren't allowed to wait to be loaded, reclassification of mailed ballots below priority, etc and there are reports of how much longer mail took to be delivered around election time...how many other policies were there that we didn't hear about that hamstrung prompt delivery? Is there a relationship between where mail is slowest and red/blue areas?

DeJoy was a finance chairman of the RNC along with Michael Cohen (convict and liar) and Elliott Broidy (recently in the news for the bribery/pardon scandal and long involved in other 2016 Russia problems). He didn't run these policy changes through the USPS board, which is improper. He demoted or removed 24 senior USPS officials upon taking office. He gave 2.4 million to Trump and the RNC in 2020. We know Trump wanted to stop mail-in voting.

What is there left that SHOULDN'T be investigated?

[Hoyt]

68. The USPS had well over twice the sorting machines they needed, Blue Mail Boxes have been

removed for years (something like 200,000 since the 1980s, besides every house is it's on mail box when you get right down to it), overtime has been out of control for years, etc. I think postal workers and local postmasters have better sense than to be driving delivery trucks around empty, unless they hold up operations down the line. The fact is ballots were delivered.

Would love to see a citation for ballots being designated below priority mail. The fact is, the USPS was harder hit than any government agency by CV19, so delays should have been expected, just like those that happened with FedEX and UPS.

[grantcart]

22. Here is the report I think you were referencing

“US Postal Service workers likely delivered more than 99.9% of the nation’s mail ballots in-time to be counted,” NBCLX reports.

“However, it also appears the USPS disenfranchised tens of thousands of voters – who mailed legally-cast ballots the week before the election – through substandard performance.”

“NBCLX analyzed election records – as well as postal records obtained through federal court filings – to find out how many ballots, cast the week before the election, were ultimately rejected… But records indicate the figure is likely no more than a few thousand votes in any given state – not enough to change the results of a single battleground in 2020.”

If no races were affected then there will be no suit.

[stopdiggin]

43. thanks. and yet this is still an estimated guess

on the part of an outside party. Wouldn't the individual states have actual figures for ballots that arrived too late? You would think ....

[grantcart]

44. Some states have very liberal reception dates (like CA) in part to facilitate

overseas military ballots.

[BComplex]

27. "USPS and WH should be investigated vigorously for months" ...I agree Wiggs.

There were so many crimes committed against DEMOCRATS this election, and they need to be investigated thoroughly.

[IronLionZion]

12. People like DeJoy should turn against Trump, snitch for immunity

what exactly did Trump ask USPS to do?

[BComplex]

29. If he had an ounce of courage, that is exactly what he should do.

[Lock him up.]

62. Then RICO DeJoy and see if he sings under oath.

If he keeps his shenanigans secret then fine: Throw his ass in DeJail.

[Captain Zero]

54. Slow the mails so mail-in ballots would not arrive to be counted in time.

to throw his ass out.

[Paladin]

14. Would love to see DeJoy kicked into a ditch. Serves him right.

When will these trump syncophants ever catch on to the fact that their days are numbered, one way or the other?

[RoadRunner]

16. trump should most def fire him

And the board also.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. That's the legacy when an agent provocateur sets up an agent without portfolio

' ... as always if you should be caught or killed, the agency will disavow any knowledge of your actions. Good luck, Jim.'

[dalton99a]

20. Arrest DeJoy, asshole

[crimycarny]

23. Just continue to gin things up to keep the $$$ flowing in

He has to throw out conspiracy theories every day to keep the money flowing into his PAC, and it’s working with every retweet...

[BComplex]

24. "He always projects what he is guilty of doing." All republicans project on others that which they

are guilty of.

[belpejic]

30. Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

DeJoy thought he was getting in tight with Trump, and now Trump is doing what he always does--stab everyone in the back. I hope DeJoy thinks long and hard about this as he's spending millions on legal fees trying to keep his corrupt, large ass out of prison, and I hope he has plenty of opportunities to think about it as he's doing long, hard time. Enjoy, Louie, you loser f**k!

[Takket]

31. geez...... so let me summerize this.......

i sent dejoy out there to rig the election by suppressing mail in voting but since the public got wise to what i was doing, the plan didn't work and i still lost anyway, so now i'm going to blame the VERY MAIL IN BALLOT SUPPRESSION SCHEME I PUT IN MOTION for the fact i lost.............

WTF?????????????????

[MyOwnPeace]

86. Ya' know, Takket,

I REALLY can see Donnie sitting there at that little desk thinking that VERY thing!

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. My fondest hope is that, if this nonsense ever sees the inside of a courtroom,

that Rudy will be arguing the case, and his drunken sidekick will be second chair. Or is she just a professional witness?

I'm sure they can dredge up someone equally as terrible, if need be.

[Mr.Bill]

39. I knew the post office was in on it.

That's why I hand delivered my ballot to the Registrar of Voters.

[EndlessWire]

40. If there are three empty seats on the board

Trump will appoint them before he leaves.

Meanwhile, how is this going to work in the Georgia run-offs? So, we are told almost a million mail ballots have been requested. Will these be in dispute?

I see no end to the mischief.

I think the whole mail-in ballot fight has just been to cause the states to miss their deadlines for certification. Then, Trump stood a chance of picking his own slate of Electors. I think that's why the arguments submitted were so idiotic, as it didn't matter as long as time was wasted.

[mac56]

42. Every accusation is actually a confession.

[benld74]

46. Ballots found in Florida post offices

Wonder if they’ve been counted

[Cracklin Charlie]

48. The president has gone around the bend.

He doesn’t seem to understand where the jabs at are coming from.

Or, maybe deJoy went and turned evidence against him.

[Evolve Dammit]

52. our mailman confirmed there was a concerted effort to slow it down at management level

[Stallion]

56. Geez! The Votes He's Complaining about are Biden/Democratic Votes-Otherwise, he Loses by 10 Million

...and Trump was a co-conspirator

[speaknow]

57. This despicable piece of Garbage

Dejoy gave to this dirt bag and the dirt bag put in partly in charge
of his Inauguration party. Then he appoints him as head of the
USPS with one goal in mind to disrupt the mail, and now he's
no good. This leader of this Nation has one broken brain. Only
shows how incapable he is To show how low he is, he hasn't
even thanked the people that voted for him.

Won't bother me if De Joy is tossed in the klink

[nakocal]

71. Without Dejoy's hamstringing the post office in Florida

Trump would have probably lost that state also.

[Ligyron]

72. So true, no way that POS actually won Florida.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

74. tRump's efforts to rig the election backfired.

Now those who thought they were gaining special favor will see just how little he cares about them.

[ShazzieB]

75. DeJoy will fit under that bus quite nicely.

It needs to run back and forth over him a few times, just for good measure!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

76. It's DeLicious. DeJoy under DeBus. DeJoy better take DePleaDeal.

It must be dawning on DeJoy that there will be no pardon on offer for him.

His best bet is to become a witness for reduced charges.
His best bet is to kick tRump's rump in hearings and before Grand Juries.

[MissMillie]

88. DeJoy's check must have cleared (n/t)
