It&#8217;s out in the open that America&#8217;s Impeached CEO\/Dictator and petulant man child Donald Trump cheated his way into the White House. And now four years later, Trump is pulling out all the strings again to cheat his way back for another four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, Trump&#8217;s sabotaging one of the United States&#8217; most venerable institutions, the Post Office.  Our megalomaniac-in-chief nominated a full-fledged, flying monkey lackey in big time Republican donor Louis DeJoy to be his new Postmaster General or in Republicanspeak, the hatchet man to destroy the Post Office from the inside.  <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"DeJoy has conflicts of interest here, basically he's invested in competitors to the USPS (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.citizensforethics.org\/press-release\/louis-dejoy-conflicts-of-interest-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\">DeJoy has conflicts of interest here; basically he&#8217;s invested in competitors to the USPS<\/a>. So Trump putting DeJoy in charge of the Post Office is like putting an arsonist in charge of the Fire Department. In testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"DeJoy's even proclaimed how little he knows about the Post Office (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2020\/8\/24\/21399957\/dejoy-house-hearing-postal-service-katie-porter\" target=\"_blank\">DeJoy&#8217;s even proclaimed how little he knows about the Post Office<\/a>. But that hasn&#8217;t stopped this obsequious Trump lackey.  DeJoy has removed sorting machines and mailboxes in an effort to disrupt mail-in balloting. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Democrats have passed a bill for emergency funding for the USPS (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/08\/22\/democrats-postal-service-rescue-400188\" target=\"_blank\">The Democrats have passed a bill for emergency funding for the USPS<\/a> and because of the pressure, DeJoy has stated that he won&#8217;t continue any more reductions. But he also proclaimed that he won&#8217;t restore the removed equipment. Fortunately, some post office workers are getting into &#8216;good trouble&#8217;, as the late John Lewis would call it. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Workers in Washington state have defied orders and put sorting machines back into service (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/danielcassady\/2020\/08\/22\/washington-postal-workers-defy-usps-orders-and-reinstall-mail-sorting-machines\/#7a2bf5025f80\" target=\"_blank\">Workers in Washington state have defied orders and put sorting machines back into service<\/a>.
