The US Postal Service said it will remove mailboxes in several major cities as a security measure ahead of Joe Biden's Inauguration next week.

As a security measure ahead of the January 20 event, mailboxes in at least 17 states including California and New Jersey, as well as Washington, DC, will be temporarily removed, several press releases from USPS said.

"It's part of our normal procedures to keep our employees and customers safe during times of protest or when large crowds are gathered near postal facilities, on postal routes, or by mailboxes," USPS spokesman David Partenheimer told Insider.

At least 14 post offices in DC will also be closed on Inauguration Day, the Postal Service said in a statement.

What’s going to happen to all Xiden’s “mail in ballots”? They’ll be homeless.

Well, fortunately the USPS has no current backlog of mail and doesn’t have a problem with timely delivery of mail... so this latest action should have no adverse impact on their stellar performance. /sarc

What’s a mailbox?

Does it have more privilege than a femailbox?

Can it choose to identify as a transmailbox?

Reflexive unthinking action trying to cover up the Election Theft. Maybe they should ask hilLIARy to simply bleach the boxes 📦

Have never seen a mail box removed by the Post Office EVER.

Not during the BLM/Antifa riots and looting this summer even.

I think it’s far too dangerous to have an inauguration. Let’s delay it by four years.

I am suspecting guilty conscience and they are worried people are going to find out their role in the steal. Occams Razor.

It is not like conservatives are prone to riot and burn stuff.

I was thinking this meant removing mailboxes at people’s residences - then it dawned on me - they are discussing drop boxes!!!!!

But why? They are not that large. Anticipating bombs being dropped in them??

The over reaction taking place sure looks like kabuki theater. The dramatics by the demoncrats is sad and frightening. Humans with no souls flailing about and in charge. Directing gopE dupes to distinguish my way of life.

Yep - my daughter is in Upstate NY and says the post office seems to be 30 - 60 days behind in delivery mail.

...when large crowds are gathered near postal facilities...

Every time I protest, I head immediately to the post office.

I usually protest by myself.

This is theater to scare the crap out of the weak-minded. A little icing on the Covid cake.

I’m worried this constant eye-rolling may result in injury.

Why the hell is Trump playing along with all this?
