(Everything Is) Broken News

Mail Bonding

September 30, 2021

Someone needs to explain to me why the United States Postal Service Postmaster General/Saboteur Louis DeJoy still has any government job, let alone one with the USPS. DeJoy, presumably as a side effect of his relentless efforts to kill the USPS, was instrumental in interfering with the 2020 election. With a raging pandemic making voting in person a frightening prospect for millions of Americans, and a raging psychotic in the White House doing everything possible to steal the election, protect the COVID-19 virus and kill Americans, DeJoy purposefully sabotaged the Postal Service, employing every means to slow down the delivery of all mail – particularly mail-in ballots – which he ramped up as the election drew near.

With all the fake talk of voter fraud and election tampering, and the stolen election caterwauling, the stop-the-stealers conveniently ignored the most overt attempt to stymie voters all across the country. The Second Amendment fetishists believe the rest of the Constitution is just window dressing for their right to bear their arms, teeth and rampant ignorance. They have no time for things like Article I, which merely lays out the entire make-up of the governing system the founders sought to create. Sections 1 through 7 spell out the design and duties of the Congress and Section 8 enumerates little things like collection of taxes, regulating commerce and coining money. And then, even before punishing piracy, setting up and creating an army and navy and something about a Militia, there is significant mention of Congress having the power to “Establish Post Offices and Post roads.”

DeJoy wants to hold your mail hostage and kill the USPS

In 2006 the Postal Service was hamstrung with a requirement to prefund its pension for 75 years – a requirement that would likely kill any business before it could ever get off the ground. Of course, the USPS is not a business. It is a constitutionally mandated SERVICE that the government is required to provide for the benefit of its citizens. Unfortunately, one of the two major political parties believes that the government has no other duty than to aid and abet the maintenance and expansion of wealth for the wealthy. Oh, and people having enough guns to take over local school boards, state government and polling places. Public services, according to Ratpublicans are nothing more than a drain on the wealthiest among us.

As with every other post presidents are permitted and required to fill, Donald Turmp, as he did with every single appointment, found the absolute worst scumbag to ru(i)n the United States Postal Service – Louis DeJoy.

The very definition of conflict of interest, the demise of the USPS was his plan all along.  DeJoy has served as a major donor and fundraiser for a number of high-profile Ratpublican politicians. With DeJoy at the helm, the USPS awarded a $120 million contract to XPO Logistics, a company he helped run and “with which his family maintains financial ties.”

Calls for DeJoy's termination have intensified in recent months, as his conflicts of interest and past fundraising activities continue to draw scrutiny from watchdogs and the FBI. WTFF.

And yet DeJoy remains Postmaster General. Why? I know Joe Biden is very busy trying to pull this country back from Turmp’s abyss and all, but the USPS is in the Constitution, and many Americans still depend on timely mail delivery for things like medication. So, come on man, fire this corporate whore who continues his onslaught on the Post Office.

DeJoy is coming for YOUR mail, but not to deliver it
