Why is the USPS helping with deportation? That is NOT their job....

Well, it so happens that the USPS Postmaster General was appointed by you-know-who. He is replacing the person who was also appointed by that certain someone, back in his first term.

Immigrants have for decades send money back to their families using USPS money orders. The USD goes a long way in South American countries

He coming at us the Latino community with a vengeance . I am Puerto Rican, I am born here my dad served this country 22 year 1st class Sergeant. However the island is not a state. It is part of the US territory. It mind boggles me how the Puerto Rican people and the other Latino cultures, voted for this man even after he throw toilet paper when they needed aid because hurricane Maria demolished Puerto Rican . There are differences between the Borriqua, we are loud my nature & in those other Latino cultures the Women are seen, not heard. The Latino immigrants especially if they are undocumented will not speak up not even to defend themselves. This why I was all surprised when he started to call them all criminals. I do know there is criminals in every race there is good & evil people. So my prayers go out to the families that lost a loved one because an undocumented immigrant but from my understanding those criminals have been convicted and now in Jail. So okay I am sorry for their loss but also I hope they rot from the inside out for accusing innocent people of crimes they incapable of doing, like those babies in the ice detention center. Those kids barely eating, no toys, no sunlight, no baths. Being labeled as murdering criminals & they are barely 1yrs old. How does that work? I pray that the wrath of God be upon them. That when they inhale may they taste the blood of those people that have murdered, I heard 9 but theres has to more then that. Keep fighting only Jehovah God has the last say in the name of my king Jesus. I pray that he blesses us with strength beyond what normal to fight the crafty acts of the Devil .

The paper towel roll incident was terrible and disrespectful to the max then followed by slow repairs that I think are still being done. I live outside of San Antonio, TX and have seen immigrant migration firsthand. For the most part I've found they are very kind family oriented and religious people. As in all groups, you have good and bad, but I would say you find more bad in white citizens than migrants. Back in the 1990's I had a painting company. A young man i'd say was 16-17 yrs old came to me for a job. I hired him and found he was sleeping under a bridge at night so I let him live with me. A really good soul that I trusted completely. I ended up taking him to Florida to paint my grandparents home. After getting back he'd leave work and I wouldn't see him until next day. Found out he had started running with local hispanics and some were undesirable. Then he just stopped coming to work. I'm guessing border patrol caught him, but not sure.

I don't know if you've noticed, but this administration couldn't care less. If it's a crime or not. They'll make it a crime.

Didn't say it was a crime, but they will use the return address on the letterhead to find the sender. Immigrants aren't going to mail out a check that probably is what they made all week without a return address. Then again, they may use a video of the person purchasing the money order to get picture of what the person looks like?

God knows the USPS has enough trouble delivering the mail, which IS their job. So you fire half the people, give them extraneous tasks, and expect the mail to be delivered.

As he did in 2017, Trump is ruining the Postal Service again.

This whole BS thing with the “jet is a gift to the US” is crazy when they are also saying that it will be retired to Trumps “library” in 2029. We didn’t retire the Statue of Liberty to Grover Cleveland’s library! I’m so tired of the lies and wth USPS?!

USPS…how about you worry about sending the mail in a timely manner? It takes 5 days to send mail from one town to another town in my area. (Only 45 miles away). This is a waste of time and money. I want my mail to be sent/received more efficiently.

That's the truth. My dad loved Gandhi and listened to all his speeches to the people before he got imprisoned. My dad was actually a British Soldier and was serving in India where he met my mum, (who was born in Calcutta), just before the WW11 They were married 60 before she died. They had 7 kids and he used to call us girls Chi-chi. It was kidding around name for half-caste. How times have changed.

Donna it’s right that you’re angry. If you weren’t it would mean you don’t give shit. I’m really old too but that makes me want to expose these cretinous morons even more! I have a grandchild that I want to grow up in a world that isn’t like THIS! That’s why I choose to speak out about what I learn. Believe me, everywhere I look I see more machinations going on under the what’s being depicted on the surface. I don’t like being under the control of an administration that wants to export their ways of doing things to me in the UK. My grandchild lives in Canada and that’s a bit too close the the US political BS than I can handle.

Out of the Russian Propaganda Playbook

The Orange Cheeto and his Nazi allies have been using techniques that Putin uses in Russia to control the news narrative and dominate media coverage according to Heather Cox Richardson over at the Substack Letters from an American Consolidating reports from several news outlets Richardson explains how the WH wants to control what the news cycle puts out in order to further its propaganda It turns out this multimillion dollar project is to confuse voters, target particular voting districts with precision, and change the subject if there are events that are not to the Nazi liking

But exposure is the name of the game to counter such Nazi propaganda Be aware that anything the Nazi regime puts out there is not to be trusted and political ads are bogus Then protest protest protest

Hi Aaron. Thanks for the updates. We need people like you to keep us informed until the profession of Journalism finds it's guts. By the way people if you subscribe to any of these outlets wether it's on TV or magazines or in the newspapers, CANCEL YOU SUBSCRIPTION! Also BOYCOTT ANY COMPANY that advertises with them. They'll feel it when it hits their collective wallets. The people still have pull when it comes to punishing companies.

All these things you've reported today Aaron are proof that trumps regime are escalating the speed to do irreparable damage to not just the constitution but to everything we in the west have fought and died for over the years.

Also I read the other day that Mike Flynn, the so-called General who sold his soul to Russia and went to prison for it before trump pardoned him, was giving a talk in the KENNEDY CENTRE! So now we know why trump wanted onto the board and fired the other members. He should be stripped of his stripes and face a court martial. Now he claims that certain kinds of music gives you cancer! This is certifiable nonsense which is going to be taken seriously by some. The only songs and music videos will be trump "dancing" to YMCA and it will have to be played loud enough to make you deaf! George Orwell said all these things. We should have paid more attention instead of saying "It couldn't happen here!" We were supposed to be living in "enlightened times!" JEEZ!

The POST OFFICE isn't supposed to be an intelligence agent for the president! What the hell is going ton. They should limit their involvement into the political arena to finding contraband and bombs in the mail. This is nuts.
