While the country is focussed on the USPS, trump will be up to something else.

I have no idea what kind of shite is going down, but the pattern is crystal clear - stir up chaos and outrage, but push on with something else that really stinks.

and "No bid" contracts. Biden better have a Forensics Team assembled to scrub every agency for shady deals and illegal hires. You know the moles are being planted.

Russian Bounties are but a distant memory, despite the vow of many reporters to "Stay on this, not let it go," and so many other travesties are wisps of smoke.

I guess it could be the Durham Investigation, or rather Barr's perversion of the findings. I expect Trump to do something with that behind the scenes. There's Sen Ron Johnson and his efforts.

I believe t-rump will triple down on everything he can destroy.

People in general are relying on the USPS more than ever since the Pandemic, and majority don't like what they are seeing, including many in his base.

8. That is his true nature. He is a destroyer. It's what he knows and what he can do.

An agent of chaos, disarray, disease and death. He kills everything he touches. He withers those he draws near.

"What rough beast slouches toward Bethlehem" indeed.

Someone check Trump's weight. It must be 666 pounds by now.

10. #45 is thinking of a bigger war. Of course, Israel would be encouraged to join in.

#45 needs a war to force parents out of their homes and the kids into schools. Patriots would not stay in their homes.

The economy would strengthen on rising employment and consumer spending. The Covid-19 dead would be blamed on the unfortunate war.

Trump would be reelected.

The USPS mess is a shiny object, meant to focus all our fear and worry.

Watch his other hand.

The campaign strategy is to "flood the zone with shit" and sow confusion and chaos.

Meanwhile, a dozen other nefarious acts steal the election in other ways.
