Gore: Trump ‘Putting His Knee on the Neck of American Democracy’ by Tampering with Postal Service
Breitbart ^ | 08/17/2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 08/17/2020 12:03:31 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sunday on CNN, former Vice President Al Gore accused President Donald Trump of “putting his knee on the neck of American democracy” with his appointee Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s overhaul of the U.S. Postal Service.

Gore said, “On the postal service if I could say what I wanted to say about that, think he’s kind of panicked that the announcement of Kamala Harris went off — it was 10 out of 10. It was amazing. And he went to that stupid, ridiculous false birther thing right away and had to take it back. And post office, this is an act of desperation, in pandemic, voters of all ages with preexisting conditions worried they can’t breathe safely standing in line to work. In effect, by tampering with the post office, he’s putting his knee on the neck of American democracy and trying to make it impossible for people to vote by mail. And they may react the way they did in Wisconsin when the governor there tried to do a similar thing, and it made people mad. I think this Democratic ticket is going to be showcased this week in a spectacular way.”

Albert Arnold Gore Jr. needs another 15 minute fame fix, eh?

Btw, algore is the son of the very racist Albert Gore Sr., U.S. Representative and U.S. Senator for the Democrat Party from Tennessee, who voted against 1964 Civil Rights Act (all Southern D’rats did).

Like George Floyd, the USPS has overdosed on its own bloated bureaucracy and inept management.

“... we are a republic not a democracy

A constitutional republic with democratic election of representatives.

Many states are semi-democratic because of ballot proposals. But if Democrats don’t like the democratic result, they get a rat judge to overturn the “will of the people”. Ironic, no?

Well now we know for sure that post offices are supplied with voter rosters and registration list. They look at sig on the ballot envelope and “ lose” a lot of registered republican and independent ballots.
How obvious can this demon-rat election fraud get before this mail in ballot charade is declared illegal?

FLASHBACK: Thousands of USPS mailboxes removed during Obama-Biden administration
The Blaze ^ | AUGUST 16, 2020 | Paul Sacca
FR Posted on 8/17/2020, 3:38:23 AM by conservative98

In fact, between 2011 and 2016, there were roughly 14,000 USPS mailboxes removed, which was during the Obama-Biden administration.

A 2009 Washington Post article stated, “In the past 20 years, 200,000 mailboxes have vanished from city streets, rural routes and suburban neighborhoods – more than the 175,000 that remain.”

“The U.S. Postal Service says it removes ‘underperforming’ mailboxes – those that collect fewer than 25 pieces of mail a day – after a week-long ‘density test,’” the report read, echoing what Frum said last week.

Because of the hysteria over the relocated mailboxes, the USPS said they would not remove any boxes until after the election.

“We are not going to be removing any boxes,” USPS spokesman Rod Spurgeon told NBC News. “After the election, we’re going to take a look at operations and see what we need and don’t need.”

However, it wasn’t only mailboxes that were on the chopping block during the Obama-Biden administration, 3,653 post offices were targeted to be shut down, according to a 2011 Washington Post article.

“...Tampering with the U.S. Postal Service...”

By refusing to bail out the Democrat’s mail-in ballot train-wreck?

I say the Democrats are the ones putting a knee on the neck if Democracy, by overloading the already incompetent Postal Service with a flood of mail-in ballots they cannot handle.

President Trump is right is right to refuse funding - he knows the American people want no parts of this calamity.

Seriously? I mean, did he REALLY say THAT?

You think he’s got a little Biden thing going on upstairs?
