Personally I find it amazing that I can hand a mail carrier a letter and they will effectively hand deliver to someone across the county for 60 cents within a few days.

It's because the USPS is a service. It's not a business and isn't designed to be a profit center.  Once you decide to start monetizing services like this, we will be properly fucked.

My wife went upstairs to wake our kids up this morning.   As she woke up our 12 year old daughter, the first thing she asked was who won the election.  My wife tells her Trump did, and she started to

This could go anywhere, but a neighbor I barely know just stopped me on a dog walk to say how happy she was about the election. I tried to brush it off but she just kept going. When she said something

Yep. Or politicizing them. Remember that time when you were in a car wreck and the firefighters and paramedics asked you who you voted for, like Trump did with the California disaster relief? Right. Nobody remembers that, but in Trump Land, who knows ...

Don’t post shit like this. The postal service is in article I of the constitution 

[laughing in Trumpist SCOTUS majority]
Alito will just write an opinion that says “sure, Article 1 says Congress shall have the power to establish the post office, but it doesn’t say who has the power to dissolve it. TRUMP WINS AGAIN!”
And it goes through 5-4, but only because Roberts hems and haws about the definition of the post office or some shit.

I mean it seems like either Trump doesn't know that or doesn't care...still think its kinda important to have that news out there and not just ignore it...

It’s important to see every bit of diarrhea that comes out of his dementia addled brain?

You’re saying no USPS before trump’s term is up? Bet

 

It's cute you two haven't put in a disclaimer the bet is off if there is no presidential election in 4 years.

Because quite frankly, assuming there will be a presidential election in 2028 is at best a 50/50 proposition.

In my defense I said kinda important, but yeah when someone who will be President in a few weeks is talking about trying to disregard the Constitution prob need to see it even if its allegedly dementia induced verbal diarrhea

The people who need to see it don’t care. They made that clear last month.

Remember Trump’s first term? He would float all kinds of crazy shit that the press would report. “Trump considering…” And the media would fall for it every time. And then a lot of the destructive shit he’d do quietly after 5 o’clock on a Friday with no fanfare.

I’m with Sawbonz that Trump isn’t likely to privatize the USPS. I think it’s more of the same kind of bullshit that he floats in order to generate outrage and distract from other destructive bullshit. He’s a fucking troll and the best way to respond to trolls is to ignore them. Unfortunately he’s also about to hold the most powerful office in the world again so we’re forced to pay attention to his bullshit because some of it he’s going to actually do. It fucking sucks that we have to go through this again because our fellow Americans have such short memories.

Fortunately Trump is a lazy, incompetent moron and privatizing the USPS would require attention and effort to which he’s disinclined, and it would have negative repercussions with his rural base so he’s not likely to go through with it.I doubt he really cares that much and the Republicans in Congress probably aren’t in to it. But if it grabs a headline, he loves that.

All part of that firehose of bullshit he loves to spew in order to desensitize us. He’ll destroy a lot of shit but he’ll talk about destroying even more. And remember, the first thing he wants to do is cut his own taxes further, use the DOJ to attack his enemies, and start deporting brown people. He’ll privatize the USPS as surely as he’ll build a wall and replace Obamacare.

If government services were truly run as a profit making business instead of the socialist enterprises that they are, rural America wouldn’t have ANY services including hospitals,  water, or electricity.  Keep fucking  around get what you voted for.

parts of the russian govt were sold off after the fall of communism. this led to the rise of ‘oligarchs’ 

imagine selling off parts of the us govt, in a much much more prosperous country. this could be the game plan at work here. 

rural america is maga land. they’ll gladly over pay for once a week (maybe twice a month) mail service because it’s making the libs cry and draining the swamp !

The postal service will be a good bellweather of how Elon and DOGE’s performance. If they publicly focus on the USPS it means they either are failing elsewhere or they never were serious. So I expect the will be talking about the USPS constantly.

DOGE isn’t supposed to just be about cutting costs. It’s about waste and the USPS provides a great service to many Americans.

and for anyone anti-postal service, you can easily opt out if you dislike the service. Seinfeld was wrong. You can opt out by just never checking your mailbox again and don’t mail anything. Email or send via one of the private services.

The USPS stuff never made sense to me because how are they going to get around all the pensions that are due to retirees? You take away people's pensions and Elon better hope he has plenty of security to not get Luigi'ed by an angry former mailposter.

The goal is not efficiency, in and of itself. The ultimate goal is to shut down voting by mail -- in the name of efficiency.

Just drove to sugar land and back and the trump signs are back with a vengeance on 71. Hell, there’s two small prop planes outside some place that are painted with dotard and Harris’ names and the Harris one’s wings have fallen off. Very clever magats.

I just drove up and down 71 and I saw the planes. They are outside a classic car place. That was the only mention of Trump I saw on the up and back.

Those planes have been there for years. Dude paints them with whatever his shitty political message du jour is.
