ATTENTION: The most detailed and accurate account of what is happening to the USPS:

[SamKnause]

I watched the hearing today with Louis DeJoy.

It was an absolute waste of time !!!

I just finished watching the ad hoc hearing of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

There were 4 witnesses.

They went into detail about how at the last minute DeJoy was selected.

He was the least qualified candidate.

The people who interviewed him had to answer many questions for him.

The witnesses said they had never seen anything like it.

They went into detail about the irregularities and illegalities that are being committed

by the Trump administration and Mnuchin.

Mnuchin has taken over the USPS !!!!

This has never happened before.

Trump wants an increase of 400% for shipping packages.

I watched it at Raw Story.

I couldn't find it on YouTube.

I did find it is available on the Congressional Progressives Caucus Facebook page.

I don't use Facebook.

It is filled with information I have not seen reported anywhere else !!!!

It is well worth the time of anyone who wants to know what is going on.

Monday's hearing should be a real barn burner.

1. Definitely looking forward to Katie Porter vs. tramp's clown Monday.

[SamKnause]

3. So am I !!!!

Did you watch the Congressional Progressive Caucus hearing ???

It was excellent and so packed with information from the people in the room.

[elleng]

10. No, missed that one.

[calimary]

42. Maybe she'll ask the question I didn't hear anybody ask this morning.

When DeJoy was asked about the sorting machines he'd had removed, he said they weren't needed.

And that was that.

Why didn't anybody ask "why not?" Or "Explain why you don't need them anymore. Do you have a different high-speed-sorting method being installed instead? And if so, what is it? Please tell us."

[onetexan]

5. Thank u! Cant wait till the House hearing.

The guy was a complete buffoon.

[SamKnause]

6. You are welcome.

The hearing should be something else.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. Great info! Thank you.

[SamKnause]

13. You are welcome.

[MerryBlooms]

8. I was in and out... Did anyone ask the slimeball if any other gov agency was required

to make a profit?

[SamKnause]

12. No, the hearing with DeJoy was a total waste of time.

[SergeStorms]

36. Any hearing is a waste of time...

if done via Skype or similar venue. There is absolutely none of the tension or solemnity that comes with a Congressional hearing in chambers. I know there's nothing that can be done about it, but DeJoy could be butt naked in his home for all we know. Today was a joke, and he treated it like a joke.

[zentrum]

15. Good question.

[SamKnause]

17. No one asked that question.

[zentrum]

43. Yes. I know, I...

…just wish they had because the point is excellent.

9. Thanks for posting

[SamKnause]

14. You are welcome.

[Mr.Bill]

11. I caught a little of

DeJoy's interview. Everything he said was a lie.

[SamKnause]

16. Yes, he lied repeatedly.

I hope many of the questions that were asked by the Congressional Progressive Caucus

are asked at the hearing on Monday.

[Rebl2]

18. Of course

everything he said was a lie-he does work for trump. That’s all they know how to do🤬

[Blue Owl]

19. Who among us would be hired for a job in which we had no knowledge or experience?

These rich crony fucks gotta go -- you gotta be knowledgable and qualified for a job like this...

[SamKnause]

20. They are hired because they have no knowledge or experience.

This is being done intentionally to destroy our institutions.

It was done intentionally to to the USPS because the they want to privatize it.

The treasury has been using the postal funds that were mandatory starting in 2006.

This came out in the hearing of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

[aggiesal]

38. Words matter ...

NOT Privatize
They're trying to PROFITIZE

All about PROFITS with these people.

21. Here it is on Twitter

Link to tweet

Thanks for telling us about this.

[SamKnause]

23. Thank you so very much for posting this link !!!

[bucolic_frolic]

22. 400%????????????

Trump's not trying to privatize it. He's putting it out of business altogether.

[SamKnause]

25. It will go from a service to a business.

The people in the hearing said Mnuchin is in control and will destroy the post office.

None of the steps Mnuchin has instructed has saved the USPS any money.

There is a link posted in the comments of this thread if you want to watch the hearing.

They posted the video linked to Twitter.

[bucolic_frolic]

27. A business has customers and volume

400% will make the USPS uncompetitive. Period.

[SamKnause]

28. Perhaps their goal is for it to be gobbled up by its competitors.

[TexasBushwhacker]

37. No one wants to take over the delivery of daily mail - NO ONE!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

39. It's to punish Bezos (Amazon), whose guts tRump hates with a passion approaching his of Obama's. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. K&R

I was at work during the hearing and only caught some clips later on.

[SamKnause]

26. There is a link posted in one of the replies in this thread.

The hearing is less then 1 hour and 30 minutes.

It is well worth your time to watch.

I am so glad I did.

[MustLoveBeagles]

29. Thanks. I will.

[OMGWTF]

30. It's gonna be a real ball burner.

[SamKnause]

31. I can't wait.

I hope all the Dems that will be asking questions have talked to the

Congressional Progressive Caucus members.

[cp]

32. Go Katie Porter!

[SamKnause]

33. I hope she brings the heat !!!

[Joinfortmill]
