Senate Majority Leader “Moscow Mitch” McConnell (R-KY) sent all of the Senate home as millions of Americans did not know where they were going to get their next meal. Is it possible that Donald Trump has wrangled America onto its knees with just McConnell, Attorney General William Barr, and a few others? Is it possible that a president of questionable intellect has been taking his marching order from a strategical dictator, Russia’s Vladimir Putin? If not Putin, then who is pulling Trump’s strings?
All of the events over the past three and one-half years seem just too phantasmagorical to be the American reality. Yet, traditions, institutions, and agencies have fallen one after the other under the hands of the president who describes himself as “like very smart” as the Associated Press wrote.
Americans have reacted strongly and negatively to POTUS’ attack on the Postal Service and have the man who occasionally sits in the Oval Office backpedaling with his words if not his actions. People want to know where is the government as many lose their rent protection and an extra $600 a month. At least one government official is on the job.
House Intelligence Committee Chair Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) has demanded action from his fellow representatives. Finally! He called for the House to “demand answers,” and said “hearings should start now. It can’t wait.” He is right:
‘The Postmaster General must resign. He’s slowed delivery, banned overtime & decommissioned mail-sorting machines. Right before the election. During a pandemic. The House must demand answers. Hearings should start now. It can’t wait. We won’t let Trump destroy the Post Office.’
Twitter world went crazy after Representative Schiff’s tweet. Check out some of our favorites below:
