Thank you, Michelangelo. I usually listen to your show.

I’m just after writing to my clerk of courts about not receiving my Aug. 11 absentee ballot. I’m sure it’ll show up after the mail-in deadline.

I’ll take my sorry ass down to the voting place on Tuesday to vote in person. GOP sabotage.

great post Mike! I'm following this Atlanta postmaster story that your readers might be interested in; someone (still tracking down who exactly) quietly replaced Ashlea Meyer with Justin Henderson—who's now postmaster for 2 major metros https://crankyyank.com/2020/07/30/who-exactly-is-atlanta-postmaster/

Republicans will stop at nothing in their quest to control everything, A friend has been working for the postal service for 20 years and he said the morale is absolutely horrible. We need to make sure that blue tsunami is just that a tsunami!

So why don't we mail in vote by UPS, FedEx, DHL? I will pay the extra. It will go to the same place. Mr Trump can't control these companies.

Excellent point Rick. All roads lead to Putin. It makes me sick to know that they have bounties on our service men and this piece of orange $hit doesn’t do anything! He is so afraid of Putin. I can’t remember where I watched/heard about Trump having Daddy’s issues and he finds Putin to be his Daddy’s figure! I think it was from the Doctor’s book, Ms. Mary Trumps!

Daddy Vlad can’t hack the elections this year, now Trump is attacking our mail system, total madness, a total disgrace. if Obama had done any or the min (can’t think of minimum) that this piece of $hit has done, he would have been impeached/jailed!!!

As always, you nailed it! I spoke to my mailman briefly here in HTX and he said the USPS suddenly cut his hours and reduced the workflow out of the blue? Him and his colleagues were scratching their heads, like huh, why now out of the sudden? Voter suppression right in front of the eyes of Americans! F#$&* GOP and Trump and his cult followers!

This deliberate slowdown of the postal mail is affecting me directly at work and the customers of the company I work for. It’s bad enough that I have to deal with people being nasty and complaining about my company but it’s worse because we aren’t receiving customer mail, it is mysteriously being returned to sender for an invalid company address which has been valid for 2 years and customers aren’t receiving refund checks issued by my company.

On a separate note, re the Covid relief funds issued to trucking company YRC? I used to work for a freight brokerage firm who used YRC but stopped when YRC was going bankrupt 2 YEARS AGO, before the pandemic!
