States ask judge to reverse changes at US Postal Service

SEATTLE (AP) — A group of states suing over service cuts at the U.S. Postal Service is asking a federal judge to immediately undo some of them, saying the integrity of the upcoming election is at stake.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has already said he's halting some of the changes, including the removal of distinctive blue mailboxes and of sorting machines at some processing facilities.

However, two remain in effect, the states argue, noting the Postal Service is no longer treating election mail as the equivalent of first class mail, and the so-called “leave behind” policy requires that postal trucks leave at certain times, whether or not there is additional mail to load.

In a motion filed in U.S. District Court in Yakima, Washington, late Wednesday, the 14 states — including the election battlegrounds of Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin — said mail delays have eased since the service cuts first created a national uproar in July, but on-time deliveries remain well below their prior levels, meaning millions of pieces of mail that would otherwise arrive on-time no longer are.

He is not undoing any of what has already been done. And even if the courts reverse the changes, THEY don't give a shit. Court rulings, just like subpoenas, are mere suggestions that can be ignored, because THEY KNOW nothing will be done about it.

The one thing they haven't taken into account is our determination. (voting democrats, and others who are determined to rid this country of this MONUMENTAL TURD)

It will be the first time EVER you will hear the offer of ENEMA ANYONE?, with a response from 200,000,000 voting Americans screaming, in unison, YES!!!

AMERICA GETS AN ENEMA NOVEMBER 3RD. PREPARE TO FLUSH!!!
AMERICA GETS AN ENEMA NOVEMBER 3RD. PREPARE TO FLUSH!!!
AMERICA GETS AN ENEMA NOVEMBER 3RD. PREPARE TO FLUSH!!!

WE WILL VOTE, early, and monitor our vote. If at all possible we will DROP OFF OUR VOTE at a secure drop box.

WE WILL VOTE. We will be prepared to stand in line as long as it takes to vote, knee deep in our own feces, if necessary. (That is the new equivalent of "crawling over broken glass". )

They already know they are going to lose, BIGLY!

The celebration of the end of this nightmare starts November 3rd.
