I should have gone straight to the source, my apologies for that. I also took for granted that everyone would consider the AP an unbiased news source. They still certainly are in my book, but I am open to be proven wrong.
As another user was kind enough to post:
> “They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo. “If they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it.”
While this is part of a larger story, as another user pointed out, it does not take away from the fact that the President made his rationale clear for not wanting a functional U.S. Postal Service.
He didn't have to "say the quiet part aloud," but he did. It is an incontrovertible fact.
edit:
On top of everything, the USPS is enshrined in Article 1 of the constitution. [0]
> Power to Protect the Mails
> The postal powers of Congress embrace all measures necessary to insure the safe and speedy transit and prompt delivery of the mails.
I am just beginning to absorb this information, but at the very least, by their own inaction the US Congress is derelict of their constitutionally mandated duties, correct? If so, I believe they should be held accountable in the court of public opinion, at the very least.
Where my Originalists at?
