Tonight, our friend Jeff takes off the gloves, so to speak, and calls out the media on their milquetoast response to Donald Trump’s and Louis DeJoy’s destruction of our USPS, our last best hope for a fair and honest election! Listen to Jeff, please, call upon the free press to do their damn job instead of pussyfooting around! Our LIVES depend on it! Thank you, Jeff!
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 7: Congress shall have the power to establish Post Offices and Roads.
Feb 20, 1792: An Act to Establish the Post-Office and Post Roads within the United States.
The first entry resides in the United States Constitution. The second entry was signed into law by none other than the first president of the United States, George Washington.
The current president of the United States is taking a wrecking ball to this iconic institution, as we speak. For no other reason than to steal his way to victory in the 2020 election.
Yes, national media, he’s trying to steal the election. Please feel free to use this adjective in any future headline because it’s the truth. To describe it in any other way is a complete abdication of your duty to report the facts.
We’ve seen this before, of course. Our national outlets go out of…

Dear Jill, this is a hopefully better proofread revision of the comment I just left on Jeff’s blog. I cannot believe my typos after two proofreadings:
Time for my serious answer at last. The question is not why aren’t newspapers bravely telling the people the real truth, but why would they want to? Since I do not know this answer, I will bravely go out on a limb and suggest newspaper sales have increased, if not doubled, during the orange clown’s reign of terror began.
Now, I know Americans like to thnk their media is the Protector of the Public, and when the Constitution was written and published it probably was. But that was 250 years ago, give or take 6 or 7 years. America is a capitalist country, and newspapers are capitalist companies. Their purpose is to sell newspapers, plain and simple. The more newspapers they sell, the more advertisers have to pay to advertise in them, and the more the companies behind the advertising sell their advertised goods, the more the advertisers profit, and the more the manufacturers profit, because good advertising works on those who want to know what to buy, and Americans love to be told what to buy. Newspapers are a win-win-win-win-win situation, ESPECIALLY FOR THE OWNERS OF THE NEWSPAPERS. They profit most!
Do you really expect the newspapers to throw the orange clown out with the swamp water? Of course not! Protecting the public is just a coincidental happenstance, an idea they will push to the end of Americs’s days. in this case, it will be the end of Americs’s days. However, the high up mucky-mucks believe they can survive the end of America because they’ve got their massive hoards of all the money of the world in their computerized bank accounts. They think they are safe.
If you want to save America, convince the capitalists that when America goes, so does their American-made money. So two do their American companies, and so three do their American wage-slaves. Worst of all, though they cannot think past their noses because times for newspapers are great–they are having their last hurrah–so four does the American economy, and so five do the American consumers. The capitalists are making money hand-over-fist. Their profits are blinding them. IF THEY CAN KEEP the orange turd IN OFFICE, they believe things can only get better. The American people can go screw themselves. The American consumers will always be there. There are some 330 MILLION American consumers. Trump can’t kill 330 Million consumers!
Buffalo used to reign the prairies in their billions. Didn’t matter how many one buffalo-hunter could kill, or even one group of hunters could kill, THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE BUFFALO.
WILL THERE ALWAYS BE AMERICANS? Elect Trump, and find out.

Sigh. Sadly, what you say is true. Our “free press” is free … to publish as they see fit, which is not necessarily what we need to hear. And yes, profit is their first priority and his debauchery, his ignorance, his endless stupidity apparently sells. That says a heck of a lot about the quality, or lack thereof, of the people of this nation, does it not?

Since taking office Trump has voted by mail in ballot 3 times. Once for NYC Mayor, another time in primaries, third time I can’t remember because I’m too mad. Has America forgotten the man was impeached? But for convoluted technicality he’d be out on his ass. America created this monster, wring their hands and cluck while he sees how far he can cross the line. It’s criminal! Americans need to stop analyzing his treachery and start demanding justice. My goodness, it’s like watching a Tarantino movie!

I fully agree with every word you say! And our Congress is deadlocked, effectively handing Trump the keys to the castle with no checks and balances, not a care for our lives. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It’s a good share Jill to alert folks to what might happen in the hands of a competent operator which Trump is not.
These are indeed unhappy times for the USA, that such a fool could be sitting in the Whitehouse.
This is a post which has been rattling about in my head for a while and I finally got into words a few days ago:
