And yes, Trump’s destroying the USPS to game the election is unconsciously shameful and par for the course.

He's not even trying to hide that he's sabotaging the post office specifically to block mail-in votes. He's basically bragging about it. He just does what he wants. I'm sure Susan Collins is "troubled" or "concerned" about this.

He should be impeached today for this.  I can’t even begin to understand how his supporters can justify any of this.

Between Trump and the Postal Service and Georgia likely sending Majorie Taylor Greene to the House of Representatives, the Republicans sure seem to want me to never vote for them again.

Couldn't the postal thing backfire on Trump?  Older people are more likely than younger people to vote for him.  If I wanted to vote for him, as an older wobbly white guy along with all the old people at the nursing home three blocks away I would much rather mail it in rather than stand in long lines.  Most of the people I know in the 20-40 range that hate Trump are too busy or lazy to get a mailable ballot ready and will vote in person in November.

You are assuming every voter will have integrity and do it properly?

Does every voter using some kind of voting machine understand properly?  I wonder how many have pulled a lever for the wrong guy or party.

More than "sending" her, they're welcoming, even cheering her. Trump called her a future star.

R's are actively courting Q because apparently it's not enough to cater to racists, they need batshit crazy conspiracy theorists in their corner, too.

She’s a 9/11 truther as well. Apparently thinks that a plane did not fly into the Pentagon.

Trump mentioned the Harris birther thing at his press conference today.  So now that’s officially on his mind and part of the campaign.  The Trump cultists are going to eat this one up.

According to polls Biden voters are 4-5X more likely than Trump voters to express serious reservations about in-person voting.

This might be a stretch in a couple places, but not by much

Any day now, I expect the gun nuts who desperately need an arsenal to protect against government tyranny to stand up against trump’s destruction of the post office in an attempt to rig the election.  This is what the second amendment is for, right?

Hey look! Genocidal maniac, self-described "proud Islamophobe," and school shooting "truther" Laura Loomer just won the R primary in Trump's home voting district!

Trump praised and supported her. i'M sO SuRprIseD!

Would love to hear from Trump supporters here what they think about Trump advocating for someone who defiles the memory of innocent children murdered in our schools.

I guess I still don't understand the postal situation.  I would think that would backfire on Trump if it's deliberate.  If I don't get my Social Security check and I can't send my kids birthday cards and a letter informing me of a death in the family or I get late charges on bills I didn't get on time or companies didn't get my payment in time, I'm gonna get pissed...and if the hot rumor is that it's Trump's fault...  I'm voting Biden for sure.  Of course for dingy Donnie, he may not have thought it through.
