Tinfoil Hat: Oregon Dem Congressman Chains Self To USPS Drop Box To Save It From Donald Trump
Legal Insurrection ^ | 8/19/2020 | Stacey Matthews

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) promotes conspiracy hoax that Trump is “trying to tear apart our Postal Service” and people need to defend “every mailbox in America.”

What with the conspiracy theories about how President Trump is allegedly using the USPS to steal the election reaching peak stupid on social media, in newsrooms, and in the murky fever swamps of MSNBC and CNN, one Oregon Democrat hatched a plan Tuesday to out-virtue signal all other Democrats about how he was willing to take drastic measures in order to protect the postal service.

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) posted a video to his Twitter account yesterday of him chaining himself to a USPS drop box in Oregon, declaring “they’re not gettin’ this one”:

He’s posted a number of videos over the last several days alleging, without evidence, the conspiracy theory about Trump and the postal service. He also managed to allege Trump was also responsible for supposed delays in mail-order prescription drugs reaching senior citizens and military veterans because why not?

I almost missed it! Where is his mask? He is impeding the U.S. Mail since he is not wearing a mask and since he is chained to the box I doubt he can “social distance” when someone drops off the mail or in the very rare event the USPS picks up the mail from that box.

Looking at the picture I can’t help but wonder if the guy campaigned in his basement.

So, mentally deficient people can not only vote in oryGone, but they can hold office?

This is why brothers and sisters shouldn't breed together.

A quick google search shows articles dating back to the earliest days of the Obama administration indicating the post office was removing mail boxes from underutilized sites and from sites where there were multiple boxes when fewer would suffice. No outrage over that. It’s only an outrage when it continues during the Trump administration, even though he put a stop to it for now.

DeFazio voted against the 2006 Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act, which banned U.S. aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian government “until it renounces violence, recognizes Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, and accepts all previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements.” The bill won the support of 361 House members and was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate.

In 2015, DeFazio was one of 19 members of Congress to sign a letter urging Secretary of State John Kerry to “prioritize the human rights of Palestinian children living in the Occupied West Bank in the bilateral relationship with the Government of Israel.” The letter called Israel’s treatment of Palestinian children “cruel, inhuman and degrading” and an “anomaly in the world.” In 2017, he was one of 10 members of Congress who introduced a bill that would “require the Secretary of State to certify that United States funds do not support military detention, interrogation, abuse, or ill-treatment of Palestinian children.” DeFazio and his fellow sponsors stated that “the Israeli military detains around 500 to 700 Palestinian children between the ages of 12 and 17 each year, and prosecutes them before a military court system that lacks basic and fundamental guarantees of due process, in violation of international standards.” …

— Per Wikipedia
Sure is a piece of work, this DeFazio.

Nancy Pelosi should take a lesson from that guy. She ought to show support for his actions to save the drop boxes, and do likewise. In fact, the whole nation would be much better off if all democrats in congress and all democrat governors and mayors and all democrats in political/government offices, joined in their protests and chained themselves to all the drop boxes, and if more are needed, perhaps they can be brought back from storage.

He’s hardly chained to it, the hypocrite.

Are you sure this is the right source? It’s not The Babylon Bee, although I’ll bet they are wishing right now that they had thought of it.

That’s not a ballot drop box. He might as well chain himself to a lamp post.
The ballot drop off boxes are going to be monitored by the indepent fraud team.

This retromingent fossil has been in the seat since 1986. Art Robinson has run against him for the last few elections. Art Robinson is an incredible man. Raised his kids alone after his wife's death and one has gone on to get a doctorate. Support Art!!

Some time in January or February, someone should really check on the well-being of this odd-looking fellow, to make sure he is coping well with the vicissitudes of climate change, and the absence of bathroom amenities.

Any lie they wish to promote,
a Democrat will tell and push that lie.

honest question: how many people actually use a mailbox? those with homes, put outgoing mail in their own; those with apts, have some sort of outgoing slot, or they mail it from work. I guess they’re useful for small packages with prepaid postage? The nearest mailbox to me is the drive-thru lane at the post office.

and, didn’t they start removing mailboxes long, long ago because ferals would dump garbage into them? or fireworks? I seem to remember something about that. And the postal union not wanting drivers to make as many stops?

Thanks for the rest of the story. And, there is even more. Didn’t the USPS get rid of over three thousand Post Offices in the eight Obama years??
