More Mail In Nonsense From the Democrats

 The newest manufactured outrage from the Democrats and the media is that the Post Office is being dismantled so that there can't be mail in voting next November.  It's all a plot by President Trump and the Postmaster General who contributed to the Trump Campaign in 2016.  It's laughable.

The Dems scream that the Post Office is removing collection boxes.  Oh my!! The post office says that every year it removes boxes that no longer are in heavy use.  The USPS adds, however, that NO BOXES WILL BE REMOVED BETWEEN NOW AND ELECTION DAY.  The Dems and the media don't care; they are still screaming about the box removal that isn't happening.  Maybe they will tell us how normal adjustments to mail collection boxes in December will affect people mailing ballots in November.

The Dems also scream that the Post Office is removing some sorting machines.  Again, Oh my!!  The post office says that while it is planning to remove some machines to keep its facilities in line with the declining level of mail being sorted, NONE OF THE MACHINES WILL BE REMOVED BEFORE THE ELECTION.  Again, perhaps the Dems or someone in the media will explain how removing sorting machines in 2021 will affect people mailing in ballots in November.

But that's not all.  The Dems are also screaming that these changes at the Post Office will delay seniors from getting their social security checks.  Here's how the Washington Post described it.  "  Democrats also warn that slowed postal delivery is delaying ...Social Security checks for the elderly."

Keep in mind that no Social Security checks have been mailed to anyone since 2013.  Social Security is distributed by either direct deposit or by adding funds to debit cards that the recipients already have.  If checks mailed in 2013 haven't made it to the seniors yet, it's pretty safe that they are never coming.

Simply put, the Democrats have no idea what they are talking about.  That doesn't matter; they are still screaming about it.  Pelosi even called Congress back into session to vote on a bill regarding the post office that will never pass.

Think about that for a moment.  Pelosi had no problem letting Congress adjourn when literally millions of people were in dire need of help because of the pandemic.  For the Dems, they prefer NOT making a deal that would help people so that they can blame President Trump for it.  When they think they have an issue that could be used to bludgeon the President, like this bogus post office nonsense, they rush back to Washington to vote on a bill that they KNOW cannot pass.
