by NoahFirst they erected a wall around the White House. Now they've erected a wall around your neighborhood mailbox. Next they will build a wall around you. Republicans don't like our taking down statues of their racist traitors like Robert E. Lee who they idolize, so now they are erecting what amount to industrial art pieces that symbolize their goal of fascist totalitarianism. That's exactly what tonight's meme shows.Former Republican National Committee Deputy National Finance Co-Chair Louis DeJoy, now Trump's Postmaster General, has temporarily stopped "stealing" mailboxes from the nation's street corners but highly efficient mail sorting machines are still being disappeared in preparation for stealing or disappearing your ballots and the 2020 election itself. Since the machines can sort up to 36,000 pieces of mail per hour, there is no reason to get rid of them right before a presidential election other than to gum up the works at a madman's behest. This is exponentially way beyond the unpatriotic anti-democracy efforts of Flor-i-duh Governor "Jeb" Bush and his personal Secretary of State Katherine Harris during the 2000 election and that was bad enough.Tonight's meme is a manifestation of what DeJoy and Trump have been cooking up in their many no longer secret oval office meetings and phone calls where they obviously strategize how to sabotage the United States Post Office and achieve their goal. What it amounts to is an affront to our Constitutional rights, the right to vote, and human decency itself, but that's what republicans are all about. They even admit it proudly now, right out in the open on national television. The Mailbox Graveyard, however, is a physical monument to what Trump and the Republican Party stand for. Hey, it's not Mt. Rushmore but it is a monument to Trump and the authoritarian government designs he and his henchmen such as Louis DeJoy, Moscow Mitch, Chuck Grassley, Stephen Miller, and Ron Johnson have for our country.Meanwhile Congress skipped town and again skipped their responsibilities to we the people when they should have dragged DeJoy, in chains if necessary, into the House Of Representatives for questioning immediately. It took Speaker Nancy Pelosi until Sunday to announce that she would issue the callback. There's also a USPS Board of Directors, 6 of them, who should also be summoned to talk about, among other things, the 23 postal officials who DeJoy dumped so that he could be the USPS strongman and Trump's next "Medal Of Freedom" winner. Doing this immediately last Friday should not even have been a question or discussion but the only art the Democrats really ever show us is the art of hemming, hawing, procrastinating, and meekly treading lightly. I expect that we will get just the usual meaningless dog and pony pantomime for the masses and no removal or eventual imprisonment of DeJoy and no revisitation of Comrade Trump's treasonous and extremely impeachable abuses of power which grow by the hour. Democrats have the power to do at least some of what events call for but they have the power to do lots of things they avoid doing. Burn down their phone lines and knock on their doors, very loudly. Not that it will get the righteous result but: No justice. No peace. No Removal. No peace. No arrest for treason. No peace. Some people just need to be beaten into action. A commission on Trump's War On America needs to be established by noon today. Anything else is being complicit and an accomplice.
