DAVIS, Calif. —
UPS is investigating one of its drivers after he left opposing political signs on the lawn of a Davis home while on the clock.

It happened last Thursday and Shelly Bailes’ surveillance cameras caught his actions on video.

“He was not delivering a package to my house,” Bailes said. “I saw that he put something on my lawn."

When Bailes checked her lawn, she found nearly a dozen small flags supporting former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.

"I was very surprised when I saw them. I was upset,” Bailes said.

The video shows the driver dropping off packages across the street from Bailes’ home and then placing the flags on her lawn before taking off.

Elon Musk would do most anything to advance the Turd Reich and the Moron Führer's ground game.

He's certainly entitled to his political opinions, but not planting signs in someone else's backyard.

If it is UPS Ground, they aren't UPS. They buy the route.

...it's FedEx Ground that's a franchise. UPS is all UPS, air and ground. As for discipline, the behavior described could be considered a "cardinal sin" resulting in termination which will not be contested by the Teamsters.

If Elon didn't bribe him ya got to wonder why on earth someone in the position of a UPS driver would want tfg to win?

Taxing the rich? Capitol Gains? it's not financially advantageous to vote for tfg if you're a UPS driver.

Maybe the local GOP people hired him to canvas his delivery route? Makes no sense other than it's the CULT thing to do
