This is going to send my Trump hating brother-in-law employed by USPS (I can't call him a post office worker) POSTAL. I hope to enjoy every minute.

Is not the Postal Service administered by the Executive Branch?

lol

They should have appointed Cliff Claven

The actor who plays him is a rare conservative.

LOL. Please keep us all informed of this. It should be a laugh riot. And, we can all use a good laugh these days.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

I can’t stand the SOB and only tolerate him because of my sister. But she made the mistake of trying to argue politics with me the other day and now I think we are on the outs, she stopped responding to my comments and emails.

[dp0622]

Yeah he is :)

A few were and the rest were libs.

I saw a biography where they stayed away from politics during the shows’ taping through the years

smart move

[stuckincali]

close it down

...and likely move him closer than ever before to forcing the service to renegotiate its terms with companies and its own union workforce.

I predict that by the end of Trump's second term the USPS will be gone. Bankrupt and out of business.

I understand completely. My eldest daughter no longer speaks to me or her mom or her brothers. We are all very Conservative, Constitutional Patriots. I’m retired military. 30 years.
She went to college at UC Berkeley and hasn’t been the same since. She became an unhinged leftist. Her former husband she met in college, an engineer, took a job with a defense contractor and she demanded he quit the job or she would divorce him.

No.

If I may.....

They should have appointed Cliff Claven Newman

It couldn't be any worse than what they've been doing

[aynrandfreak]

The old joke for years was that the Washington Post used to report everything with "poor and minorities hardest hit".

Now not only is it the richest man in the world hardest hit, because he'll have to negotiate a price for using the post office that isn't at a rate subsidized by taxpayers, but that means hardest hit is also the owner of the Washington Post who is writing this story!

Businessman 'Louis DeJoy named Postmaster General', giving president new influence over Postal Service. His history of turning companies around and experience in the industry certainly qualifies him....Good pick from what I've seen...

[bwest]

The Post Office can be fixed with two words: Fed Ex.

[dp0622]

lol

newman

lol

[Gene Eric]

>> close it down

Why? It’s funded by counter sales, not tax revenue.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

?

[stuckincali]

unnecessary funded by ads that fill up my mail box.

Has at time slots money.

Delivery companies can handle mail in states where they have business licenses. Of Mrs Jone sup in the hills call, you have to give her service once a week. No daily mail deliveries or pick up.

the actor who plays who?
