BREAKING: Former President Obama says that President Trump is trying to “actively kneecap the Postal Service” to affect mail-in voting in the 2020 election, and urges lawmakers and citizens to take actions to “protect the integrity” of the election.

“What we've never seen before is a president say, ‘I'm going to try to actively kneecap the Postal Service to encourage voting, and I will be explicit about the reason I'm doing it.’ That's sort of unheard of, right?” Obama said. “And we also have not had an election in the midst of a pandemic that is still deadly and killing a lot of people.”

“So in that circumstance, the thing I'm most worried about is … how do we protect the integrity of the election process? How do we make sure that people's votes are counted? How do we police and monitor how state officials are setting up polling places and ensuring that every vote is counted?” he continued.

When you send multiple ballots to every address in America there is no longer integrity in the election

Was Obama kneecapping them too back in 2015?

fakenews Hope you all end up in Gitmo traders

Obama was a spy...Period

Trump just said the Dems just need to pass the money in the house without all of the other crap and he would agree. So it is the Dems holding it up not Trump.

Whew, Dems are really all in on this conspiracy. Mail volume has been down for a while and Covid made it worse. Also, the USPS handles about 3 billion pieces of mail at Xmas. Even if every single reg voter mailed ballot, that’s only 150 million. Dems are scaremongering.

I want to buy your Bitcoin, p.s Trump already has my vote...

Says the man that started the war against the police during his failed administration

You Obama talk about integrity of our elections, when Obama and Biden spied on candidate Trump then elected Pres Trump, Obama and Biden pulled every dirty trick to ensure the election of Hillary Clinton in 2016, but we the people stumped them out and will again

Should there be a charge of “conspiracy to commit voter suppression “. Trump outrd the plan🤷🏻‍♂️

Coming from the guy who kneecapped the economy!

Former President Obama interfered in the 2016 election and he is now interfering in the 2020 election.

The Democrat party is trying to steal another election in plain sight. Call your reps demand that mail in ballots NOT be issued unless YOU requested it which is absentee voting. If you could shop at a store you can go vote. Protect your vote - the Dems will steal it if you don’t

If the Democrats aren’t successful at voter fraud Trump wins, why do you think they want mail in ballots. They are not honorable Americans anymore. They all run dirty campaigns and don’t care. Because of Trump most Americans now see thier dirty game, I now do !

Time line, Trump notified COVID-19 Oct 2019, Dems &GOP ask to meet with DEJoy mail in ballots never happened, Trump Jan 2020 Ignores CDC pandemic book,, Feb thru March deny lies knowing full well Pandemic spreading & disrupt the elections, DeJoy plans removal sorts & mail boxes

He don’t what Democratic to vote ....:

Pathetic...... he’s bringing attention to the RISKS of mail in fraud by corrupt democrats..... if we have crime looting burning down of democrat run cities what do you think would happen to mail in voting

Who? How is he relevant? At all...

realDonaldTrump is known to project his fears & criminal intent. Yesterday, Trump said they are finding MailInBallots 'in piles', and Election2020 is in November. Why are THEY 'finding them' in August? USPSsabotage FoxNews FoxNewsSunday CNN npr PBS CBS MSNBC ICYMI

You can vote in person and avoid another Democrat hoax.

Why do we need the post office again?

Who cares what Obama said about the USPS. Cause Obama also said Joe Biden can fuck things up if elected too.

It’s false but lies from the Omamination is nothing new. Let us all know when you & he figure out you can actually go to the polls. Dimbulbs. Half a filament left. He is a disgraced jackass (Dem symbol, right?) who & HRC used foreign entity & lies to spy on incoming POTUS.

Trump ran that ad that said 'Trump 2020. 2024, 2028, 2032... etc. How about Obama 2020, Obama 2024, Obama 2028, Obama 2032. I honestly couldn't care if he lead this country for the rest of his life. In 30 years he brought more hope to this country than ANY other president.

I don't like him because hes a lies 😤

VoterID

Obama is scared sh0tless that when realDonaldTrump is reelected his pathetic legacy will be 100% gone! GropinJoe is a loser Trump2020

Lol. Obama is a criminal.

Obama was the worst 8 year social experiment.

This man is so gross 🤮🤮🤮 Please go back to Kenya. MAGA2020

Hard to believe that a sitting President is behind this. I am saddened and appalled by the total disregard of caring for our nation and those values we hold so dear from our constitution. Drumpf is laughing at all of US.

How much is first class stamp?

Obama thank you for the lack of jobs and kneeling down to china and thankyou for nothing for which you are just shut the hell up and collect that paycheck that you get from tax payers trump will take it GOD BLESS TRUMP

JoyAnnReid Trump is such an embarrassment to our country.

This is why...even the leftie oracle CNN reported it. Mail in ballots can and will be used frauduantly. Period.

Early voting works great.

Who really gives a shit about what BarackObama thinks? Commie losers, that’s who!

OBomber Crying because Trump is trying to save America from the vote mail scam

VOTE IN PERSON! If you can stand in line at Walmart or a convenience store you can vote!

leftnotright 'Take Action' lacks all the Ingredients, to Take Action! As Obama would say 'Come On Man'!😬🗣️🤔

theresamarbles Where are Presidents Clinton, Bush and Carter?

Most American prefer to vote in person and they will do so on Nov 3rd.

TAKE ACTION Contact the Board of Governors of the USPS and demand that DeJoy resigns

Ppl care about the environment so much think of all the trees we would be saving emission fuel that would not be destroying the environment of the postal service was done away with

Why is Obama still talking? Doesn’t he have charges coming to worry about instead?

Yes the man who gave the biggest bailout to corrupt wall street and bankers should be one to talk.

It strongly appears that realDonaldTrump has effectively thwarted any option for mail in voting and therefore given Democrats the deluxe finger. Was his action a crime? If so, what can be done. If no, then whats the plan?

Sure whatever you say cuck

Shame on Obama. meddling in a presidential election, never seen before

No one cares what that 🤡 has to say. why aren’t you reporting about the fact that BillClintonIsAPedo

God love all of us

Why are you reporting a remark this stupid?

Yes, but he's already done enough to hamper the vote and no one is doing anything about that.

The left zigs and when Trump zags its suddenly not fair.

Trump's USPSsabotage won't stop me. I'm having my vote counted even if I have to show up in a hazmat suit. VoteEarly RegisterToVote GoVote Use BallotDropBoxes. velshi AMJoy MSNBC

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 come on Obama!!

All of us should be scared about the upcoming election. Cheating should not be allowed. Protect the post office and fire Dejoy. DontMessWithUSPS

Of course Obama wants mail in voting. He needs Biden to win so he can keep all of his criminal shadiness under the rug.

If you go to the supermarket, pharmacy, gas station, you can go to the polling place

He's a joke tried to destroy America!

That’s BS fake news

I don't understand? No more mail? Nobody can vote?

Does the term out of OFFICE ring a bell? It also means non of your business Obama. Also does putting a hole in the country in 8 Years should shut you up?

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Get your facts straight!

Obama needs to take a seat. To protect the integrity of the election we need to eliminate mail-in voting. Vote in person or if needed get an absentee ballot, mail-in voting is not secure and election results will be in doubt no matter who wins.

USPS is a dumpster fire of a wasteful mess! And obama did nothing to fix the problem

Obama is the most corrupt president in history...

mehdirhasan The usual divisive rhetoric from the, achieved nothing, Obama.

The Great Divider in Chief and King of the Obstructionists continues his mission to fundamentally change America into his vision through a shadow government. This man is an enemy to the American people and I hope he ends up where he belongs. In a cell in Gitmo for treason.

He is.

A guy who did nothing for anyone. Didn’t help the USPS But as he said from the Oval Office as president. Lead from behind

AmoneyResists WTF does he mean by “kneecap” the post office? I’ve never heard that stupid term before.

Ironic that the fucking lieberals (Obama, Clintons) paved the way for trump and now they are beeing fucked by him and they even dont know how to respond. Democracy is on the line and the establishemnt gave us Biden...lol

Julian Assange 2.0: Reporters Set to Break News of Obama Illegally Spying on Trump Arrested in Ohio - FULL SHOW 8/14/20

The USPS. Enshrined in the US Constitution as important as voting itself. Mandated by the Constitution. Like voting, it's there to protect the democracy, as Ben Franklin clearly pointed out when he created it. And like voting, it's not to be an endeavor to profit off of.

😂😂😂. That big eared dumbass.

You think In California, illegals vote.

Oh really! Obama is the president who ordered to spy on Trumps campaign. All the cohorts on corruption spells Obama. What a hippocrit! POTUS has intel to suggests such or he will not talk about it in public. Obama is not relevant..Puppet of socialists.

Ever seen such a one sided response? Ever? Total and complete bullshit.

Nobody is going to take action for anything. Simply put, one man was able to shut down an entire nation over night should be more than enough to prove that we are a communist nation. He needs to slow down 'new-age' voter's, in order to stay in the oval office. Period.

The postal service can't handle normal sht on a good day! They certainly can't handle an election. Mail theft and fraud run rampant. Hey BarackObama never fear! Your rockstar, DrFauci says it's safe enough to vote IN PERSON so it looks like the USPS won't matter!!

Obviously.

I'm not an American but pity the country's current leadership deficit. There's an attacked on this election. One advice; rigorous community based initiative to encourage people to mask up and vote. Door to door campaigning like the Jehovah witness style of wining souls.

BarackObama & DNC 100% need this mail in voting scam. IF U CAN RIOT,THEN U CAN VOTE! This isnt about equality & access to voting for 'minorities'. This is about creating loopholes that can be exploited by Dems. realDonaldTrump MUST torpedo anything except LINE UP & VOTE.

Stfu you piece of shit trader! Nobody gives a flying Beeeeeeep about what you have to say

To protect the integrity of the election, we need in person voting, and ID’s. That’s the only way it can be fair and square.

Trump needs to go to Jail. I never thought that I would see in my lifetime the worst president in US History do the things that Trump has done. Lie ,Cheat, Steal, call people names , Ignorant Racist, Unprofessional Scum Bag. The people that vote for him are really sick

ScottFr48503346 Fuc Obama.Spying on Trump when he was running for president.He should go to jail!

Pinche Barry Soltero

Please go to you basement with bidsn and stop to making up stories all the time to please yourself

Look Obama I respect you and all, but why tf are you still here?

He is just wants to prevent unqualified persons voting in blue states like California; some addresses are getting several ballots none oF which are known or live there ! Trump want to stop the. typical voter fraud from the left! They never purge the voter registrations!

BidenHarris20 making history again!! Show up & out in large numbers. votebluenomatterwhat20

MeredthSalenger And still NOBODY does anything. You let it happen. Your fault. Shouting and yelling does not make it disappear.

Obama will remain My President until Biden takes over In January.

It’s odd the house is ran by Democrats unable to anything due to incompetence and could stop a veto which they aren’t trying to do yet THIS IS WHAT GETS REPORTED NBC IS NEWS ITS OPINIONS TODAY!

Is Obama’s remark based on an actual fact? It surely doesn’t seem like it

GreatDismal From an external vantage point it is quite alarming, that you need your former president to speak up to increase the weight of the case.

Your nightmares will come true when 45 gets a second term. He will send you, the US, and the whole world into unprecedented chaos. He's afraid of the vote. Jail or victory? I'm for jail!

The US Postal Service is so unreliable that if Obama did not see it, is his failure in leadership these years. Mail have been lost or take forever to get somewhere constantly to a point that many have given up on mailing letters. Mail in voting in nationwide not work.

This coming from the most corrupt and despicable president in our history

奥巴马是最腐败的一届政府。

Gr8Barri3rRief THEN MAYYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. When you had a full goddamn congress and we're at the helm. Trump is evil and we all know it, so why not ensure the bad didn't get so bad?

Its fraudulent you idiots. Vote the right way and stop relying on fraud you domestic terrorists. The disingenuous motives are disgusting.

JennyHope77 It's the truth ! At least Obama speaks the truth, not lies like trump.

DGrattidge Trump effectively “knee capped” the entire country since 2016.

BREAKING: Former President Obama says that President Trump is trying to “actively stop our Postal Service election theft strategy” to affect scam-by-mail voting in the 2020 election, and urges lawmakers and citizens to take actions to “protect democrat’s steal” of the election.

Because IQ45 knows he can't win

BarackObama should stop talking and lawyer up DurhamProbe DurhamIsComing

Out comes the fraudster who spied on Trump’s campaign. They probably removed obama biden era machines that were rigged to mess up ballot deliveries. Thats probably why obama is yapping again.

No shit! Nobody obviously has the balls to stop it! The Democratic leadership SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer is just as complicit for letting it happen right before our eyes!!

Take your lazy ass to the poll and vote in person! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

SethAbramson Why isn’t George Bush speaking out ....?

Classic Barry Obungler, 8 years late to the party

mehdirhasan I understand what he’s saying but didn’t he actively interfere w the Democratic primary...

he also said to go out during a pandemic and protest , people can go to a voting booth and make their voice heard

THIS SOB HAS NO INTEGRITY

mehdirhasan 👉Former KGB Agent, Yuri Bezmenov, Warns America About Socialist Subversion (1984) - NOW, Warns 'Free democratic civilized society'. (Watch more times, Can see the roots of the status quo of 'freedom, democracy and civilized world', And the future.)

The guy needs to stay on the sidelines. Interfering with the election now

mehdirhasan It’s up to us

mehdirhasan Obama tried to privatize the postal service. Bernie stepped up and stopped it. Don’t listen to this con artist. Obama is a fraud

mehdirhasan he had 8 years to save the Post Office and pass vote by mail

mehdirhasan What action?

TRUMP2020 🎉🎉

Protect the integrity of the election? They’ve uncovered 95,000 non citizen registered voters in the state of Texas. Is that the integrity that your referring to?

RENEGADE... TRAITOR

What action is recommended? The Postmaster General isn’t appointed by Congress. What recourse do we have?

BarackObama if we can go to a hair salon or supermarket or protest, we can vote in person. I received a ballot for my dog, she has a human name and my last name.

What the fuck are citizens supposed to do? What the fuck do I, an unelected official do about this?

Obama 🤮💩

I thought it was illegal to mess with the postal service. I heard a Congressman demanded a criminal investigation be opened up. Then I heard the Post Master General is not going to remove any more equipment. Coincidence? I hope all that has been removed be returned.

What can we do about this? He needs to go to jail

Obama is the idiot who laughed at Trump for saying the election is rigged. He said no way it’s rigged. Stop complaining and get more votes. Trump won and now he & crazy liberals are saying the election was rigged. Obama/DNC rigged it!

soledadobrien Yes!

Trump2020

like Obama kneecapping Trump’s campaign and Presidency?

Pedophile

If you can get out to paint a BLM sign in the street, protest by the thousands, riot, loot, go to a casino, liquor store- all without being socially distant- then you can go to the polls to cast your vote. GTFOH

What can we do to help?

Nobody cares about your opinion, Obama. You're not the President.

Just vote in person. Not hard to do. Jesus!!

soledadobrien President Obama gave a warning to the nation. Difficult times are ahead. '...But woe to the earth and the sea because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.' Rev12:12

JoyAnnReid Trump has the right to do it.

JoyAnnReid EVERY American should be outraged. This is not the way we do things in this country. We do not disrupt the sanctity of our election process— not at the polls, not at USPS. Not in this country. We are a DEMOCRACY! It doesn’t matter who you vote for. We are America, not Russia!

ScottieGraham OBAMA WORST PRESIDENT EVER

ScottieGraham

thekjohnston Notice Obama’s choice of the word “kneecap” to describe what Trump is doing to the Post Office.

Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs or retards the passage of the mail, or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. U.S. Code 1701 Why does he constantly get away with things?

If you can go to Walmart, you can go vote.

Pathetic DESPERATION. 😂😂😂😂

IamVanessaCroft I agree with Obama.

Is Obama reading headlines now?

Obama?, who cares what this clown thinks.

TCBJ criticizes Obama for the attempted Trump coup & fir meddling in foreign elections

New popular game in America: Blame on Trump

Fake ID, fake name, fake driver's license, unmanaged illegal immigration, nothing with fake mail ballot. Riot, go to the market, go to the beach, join BLM, why don't you go to the polls to do civic jobs. Biden has tricks like tricks to overthrow Trump.

congratulations our goal as Democrats has to be mandating mask mandating testing and mandating vaccines so we can get rid of most of these Republicans through vaccination we can eliminate most of them ChinaStory

Dear Federal Election Commission Please kindly do your job. We can see that a candidate has broken not just one, but several rules. realDonaldTrump should be disqualified. No question. He clearly eminates an ability to discredit the election Please end this criminality. AV

Obama deliberately tour America down. He was an abject failure as a president economically, militarily, politically, internationally. The only thing that made sense about what he was doing is if you assume he is an enemy of America. Only then did it make sense.

DemocRATs want to commit massive voter fraud and if BarackObama is pleading for it, you know it’s corrupt after the spying scandal from 2016

LOL. Save it dude.

Obama is the poison who will destroy our country. Wake up!

If they cared about the integrity of voting, they wouldn’t vote by mail.

It is time for Americans to stand in protest against these bullies!

Corrupt Ex President says what?

Unless I’m mistaken, the postal service has been in trouble long before Trump.

Why does everyone seem so concerned?

I would personally love to see a celebrity wrestling match with obama and Trump. Just because...

Obama's trying to actively rig an election

Avoid VoterSuppression by delivering your Ballot to your local County Clerk or Registrar

Absolutely!👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

$160 billion in debt..id say they knee capped themselves

Yes we are urged and postal office is not a voting option !!

Mail in ballots is not a good idea. Democrats want voters to send their votes In through mail so they can cause fraud! Trump and wood on your ass, only in person votes allowed! 🗣

GerardAraud Gee that must mean you finally think it might be true. Trump doing it isn't enough for you to report what our eyes see...you tools

Move 6 weeks ago. Still haven’t received one piece of mail. I am told it went to another state

Obama finally came out of the bathhouse to make a statement

Trump also said this.

What's with you ppl and knees 🤦‍♂️

My negro you are lying.

Obama *actively* spied on the Trump campaign. Maybe he can shut up about protecting the integrity of any election unless he's signed a guilty plea and is wearing an orange jumpsuit

Trump will ensure this election will be manipulated by his CAMPAIGN STAFF. BY GOP MEMBERS. BY TRUMP SUPPORTERS STATIONED AT EVERY BALLOT LOCATION.

But he was ok cutting funding to usps and letting some close 🧐🧐🧐

Integrity? Look who let El Chapo and Epstein destroy lives while president, as well as Bush jr (WMD's) Clinton 25 plus times flying to Epsteins island. El Chapo brout tp justice 12016 Epstein 8/2019

The thing about Globalist theory seems to be to always work toward silencing traditional thinking and ideals. Pad the elites, the politicos as Masters...of all the earth. Crush all others.

There is no reason not to vote like we always have. Dem=Liberals can't corrupt the system enough to win that way.

alexkasprak Trollbama said that?

leimer Amazing...did you happen to ask him why Trump says he’s part of the biggest political crime in history, ya know since “journalism” is supposed to be your thing.

Apt use of a mob word to describe Trump*s actions. 👏👏👏👏 ✊️

If we stopped junkmail for a week, we could help the ballots get processed. Maybe businesses will step up and stop mailing out junk for a week or two.

I’ll be fine, but what about ppl who are: -Disabled? -Caretaker of someone? -No transportation? -Elderly? -High risk COVID19, or *ANY* risk COVID19? -Work hours wont permit? -Don’t have money for bus, train, or subway? THAT’S who I care about. He’s saying F*CK YOU! to them.

Trump has

You are no longer the president. Would you please shut your yapper?Our President is doing a great job. Considering all the crap he’s had to put up with, very great job!

Well all voting for decades has been people going to the polls so it's ridiculously dumb to be changing that now what a coincidence only for trump a strategy to tamper with the votes by the democrats because they know by cheating the system is the only way

The USPS has lost over 70B since 2008. Pres Obama didn’t start the problem, but did nothing to solve it. The 2006 Postal Reform Act needs to be updated, with greater employee pension contributions

well it's former president obama, he tried to knee cap the entire country giving billions to Iran , watching baseball with one of the worlds worst dictator family castro, so as far as I am concerned he needs to stfu and he has zero credibility

Good! barackobama is an asshole without conciousness, power or influence.

We all know explicitly what this evil bastard is trying to do, the question is, what is being done about it. If something can't be done to prevent this Idiot's kneecapping of the Postal service, then I suggest legislation be made to keep the next autocrat from doing it.

Republicans are allowing this President to cheat to stay in power.

Nice but that is NOT what Trump said.

ProtectTheUSPS

Ok, spy king.

RETWEET NOT JUST LIKE YOU COWARDS.

Obama's learned political sleeze tactics are from the most corrupt city in the U.S., Chicago. Guaranteed he's on conference conferring with Chgo DNC sleeze experts on how best to sleeze sleepy joe thru to the finish line by lost, manipulated ballots, voting machine 'errors' etc

He should of took action and never let that corrupt self serving deranged rambling mentality unstable lunatic anywhere near the WH in the first place rather then just go on vacation and leave the nation to deal with this madman he should of enforced some executive orders too

True. Trump has smashed the constitution. If democrats did what Trump has done you can bet Trump's fake posse would be all over it. Trump destroyed America

Text USPS to 50409 (This one-word text will automatically send a letter to your local representatives using Resistbot (resistbot) and urge them to take action. You can opt out of their texts at any time) Other action items to help USPS:

I want to know why more people aren't enraged or fighting back against this. Fuck election, what about your livelihoods? What about your apartments/living spaces? What about your bills? Don't you care about that? Or would you prefer to become homeless?

I don’t what he think. Voter ID period.

Congress is on vacation.

Why is Obama still acting like he’s president

Obama was NOT well liked by the public. The Media loved him, but he never had high approval ratings despite the adoration of 95% of the media. Very telling Junk Mail Ballots are just that: garbage

When is the last time Obama walked into a post office. Give me a break.

BarackObama is not wrong, trump admitted to it.

Ohio blocks new ballot drop boxes amid alleged moves by Trump and DeJoy to 'sabotage' Postal Service

As opposed to knee capping Benghazi?

Aww look at Obama trying to be relevant! He’s a has-been. Go. Away.

Kneecap is a low level mafioso act , which trump is

As always we are with you.

Screw Obama. The absolutely worst president we ever had

WE HAVE TO STAND, WE HAVE TO BE HEARD! Trump cannot ignore 75% of the country coming after him

Trump admits he is blocking funding to Postal Service because of mail in voting. Trump also claimed USPS couldn’t handle the increase in mail. Postal Service does OK Christmas, Easter, Valentines day. VoteByMail VoteTrumpOut

Obama’s time is past. President Trump is looking out for America. BO looked out for our enemies during his entire eight years and beyond. NBC is on team BO.

You know if the democrats want it there is something wrong. They know it will be crooked and in favor of them. Democrats are evil, cheaters, and have no values or morals.

Oh yes, lets listen to a man who help to spy on his opponent. Paid terrorist. Did nothing for the black community.

is obama worried he cant spy anymore

ABSENTEES

Shut the hell up Obama.Let Biden do the talking. Isn't he the one running for office?

Tell obumer to go away and enjoy his millions

In the press conference today he said he would fund it if the Dems would come to the table

MAKE ANGER GREAT AGAIN ✊

We vote in person, not by mail.

No but we have seen a president spy on the incoming president please be quiet Obama pres Bush never uttered your name after he left and other presidents have done the same your a joke Obama

Obama is all for voter fraud!

dandrezner Former President Obama should have done much more to protect the integrity of the 2016 election.

Don’t worry Collins is concerned.

Why didn’t Obama do anything to fix USPS while he was President? It’s been mismanaged/losing $ FOR YEARS. Dems want to flood post office by mass mailing ballots to registered voters who may have moved, or died - with NO voter ID. Democrats openly trying to steal this election.

Obama is such a divisive troll.

What actions?

I want to vote in person !!!

This coming from Obama that tried to take down an incoming President. We’re not buying any more lies from Obama. He needs to keep his opinions to himself. He wants those mail in ballots to cheat. You can’t tell me that those are secure. Our mail is misplaced all the time.

If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

MichaelHowardR2 BOOM 💥 SpeakerPelosi RepMaxineWaters NewYorkStateAG ewarren KamalaHarris JoeBiden

That’s cool but how come he didn’t do anything to get rid of that horrible pension policy when he was in office? Also what can the average citizen do (not asking sarcastically)

.STOP lying you fraud of a news service. EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE 'STORIES' Needs to be TAGGED AS OPINION. ALL you put out is Opinion you yellowJournalist a-holes treat it as news n facts It's NoT

Yes and I bet he don't realize that covid19 has a lot to do with USPS it hurt everything. Trump isn't trying to hurt its een in trouble since 2000.

UROCKlive1 How? Tell us how! Lawsuit? What?

Loud & Clear you spied on Trumps campaign plus tried to sabotage him with the Russian Collusion Scam. Now you cheating cons want to use the Pandemic as a way to disrupt our voting system. If you want your damn vote counted get out & vote. Dems are trying to limit polling places

Renegade Obama? Really? The man, who is responsible for the mayhem we see play out in streets each day? The man who started the war on our police? The man, who was a socialist plant in the White House to dismantle our Constitution? Geh weg!

Maybe Obama & Biden should have done something about the postal service in 2014. Maybe that Billion $$ deal with Iran could have been more useful for the postal service.

But, does he have the FBI and Intelligence agencies spying on Biden's campaign? Are the falsifying evidence to impeach Sleepy Joe if he gets elected? Asking for a friend...

The opinion of a traitor huh

Your entire Administration was corrupt so spare me anything you have to say. If I can go to the Market,Target,Walmart,Best Buy,Liquor Store and to get food I sure as hell can go Vote. Stop trying to cheat!

Still running his shadow government. This guy... Never has a former president meddled more in elections or spied on more people. I actually used to like Obama. This is gross.

Dnc voter fraud will be massive!!!!!

Got any evidence to back that up obummer? Won’t say nothing about 20,000 fake ID from China! We know your in bed with Communists bro! I think I hear a firing squad!!

thereidout Explanation June 2020 “DeJoy” held meetings w USPS & union officials he gave a dire order (strongly worded suggestion) ... should any think they will discuss his orders, and then removed to waiting trucks all mail sorting machines Who “DeJoy” mandate to USPSnationwide

This is the biggest Democrat scam ever !!!

What actions can citizens take ?

This is ridiculous. He is not defunding the post office. He’s just not supporting the billions they’ll need to send 370 million Americans voting ballots they didn’t request. 🤦‍♀️

Absentee voting yes. Ballots mailed out to all—hell NO!

Where’s all the anti-mask people and their whole “affecting their constitutional rights” speeches? Your constitutional right to vote is being affected but I don’t see you screaming from the mountain tops about it. You will fight for haircuts but not voting & USPS. Why is that?

Like he did with Russia... give me a break.

Blah..blah...blah

This.. 💯% ☝🏼☝🏼😴

Duhhhh !!..😡

Big lie

Ask him about Lois Lerner next

Ugh. Received mail ONCE in the past 2 weeks. 🖕🏼you realDonaldTrump.

Trump admitted he was doing this...LIVE ON TV.

I am pretty sure the republicans and trump are going to or have already rigged the election in their favor.

LOOK FOR AN ALTERNATE WAY to deliver your mail in ballot to your county officials. I can turn mine into a local county courthouse. Call your county clerk’s office to find out. Retweet this many times. We need the votes turned in on time. We can’t trust trump.

MaddowBlog

What can be done? Tell us something that will actually make a difference and I'll do it!

Yes, this would be nice.

Take actions? What does that mean? Seize and occupy your local post office? Who knows? 🤔

MaddowBlog IMPEACH THIS LUNATIC

MelbieToast Thank your mail carrier!

Voter ID now!!! Our elections are in jeopardy. Democrats are doubling and tripling down on this horrible idea. They want to attack our democratic system. War is being declared on America from within.

WalshFreedom Better get the lawyers ready if Trump wins. ProjectLincoln

Why did bernie have to stop you from appointing neolib board members who want to privatize the post office?

It's so f'ng obvious.

If Obama really cared about this country he would stand up and address the violent protesting. Oh wait he’s accepting a Pulitzer Prize. He’s probably sitting in his big house, cynically watching it burn. Smiling as the bias media blames it all on trump. What a strong 💪🏿 man?

This is Obama he has no voice in what is good for America /USA .He did nothing for the USA ,He needs to step back.

Unfortunately, integrity has left the United States - lock, stock, and barrel.

JJohnsonLaw SuppressTheVirusNotTheVote

H O W ?!!!!!!

Little fires everywhere.

Agree.

Who cares what that traitor says.

MaddowBlog This isn't breaking. Trump already said this himself though less eloquently.

MaddowBlog To “protect the integrity” of the election, one must avoid mail-in voting which can very easily be compromised. Trump IS trying to “protect the integrity” of the election by having people do it in-person. Trump is blocking a DEM attempt at hijacking the election process.

Ohio’s Sec of State Frank LaRosa : Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Wednesday he is banning county boards of elections from offering more than one drop box for completed absentee ballots.

Obama ought to shut up and get out like other past presidents. He was a horrible president and he needs to shut up unless he wants to praise and compliment the real president, Donald Trump.

Yes go personally to the polls booths and vote for the candidate of your choice. Wear the mask of course and sanitize your hands. There solved the problem.

Ask Fed Ex to handle the ballots free!

SchnoodleCat

after he helped his party kneecap sanders and after his party helped throw a senate race to mitch mcconnell, obama suddenly cares about voter disenfranchisement

Democrats won’t do anything about it. Maybe postal workers should harken back to the 80’s.

No need. Mask up. Get out and vote. If you win, try to fix it. If not, complain.

Barack you need to go back to your 10 million$ House and shut your mouth because your time in office is over so 🤬🤬

It’s gonna be the most rigged election of all time...it really is. Like no one has ever seen..I’m gonna make sure lol

MaddowBlog BarackObama POTUS44 Something has to be done now!!! what can citizens do to help?

12News Sure thing has been

MaddowBlog It won’t work due to early voting like dropping off your ballot or voting early in mail ballots as TeamPelosi mentioned

Dr Fauci has said in-person voting can be done safely. Why is the left pushing so hard for mail-in voting? 🤔🤔🤔

So go to polls Nov. 3, show ID, mark your ballot and drop it in the box. USPS has nothing to do with this. Democrats have lost confidence in their candidate, and the dead cat bounce from Kamala has not moved the needle.

This is outrageous and stupid. The mail system is funded to handle absentee ballots. They’re not prepared to vote only by mail. If people can march during a pandemic, then you sure as hell go out and vote. The Democrats and Obama are setting up excuses for a loss in November.

why didn't he move to reverse the catastrophic legislation for postal funding when he was president with a democratic house and senate?

DylanByers That’s what’s happening we are protecting the election from you cheating Obama. We know you want mass ballots floating around to dead people so you can doctor them for your favored candidate. We’re not going to let you do it.

There’s nothing you can do.

I would imagine that the 630,000 employees of the Postal Service (including 100,000 war veteran employees), as well as all of the small businesses and corporations relying on mail and finally everyone who has a mail box sees that the destruction of the post office is just wrong.

Go to the polls and vote like we've done for decades. Wear a mask this time, just like you do when you go to the store. Duh.

He’s correct

Thanks for your leadership. God bless you.

he is right wake up keep the story alive you idiots keep on this

It's August Fri 14th 2020 and president Obama is the most corrupt US president in history.

Another reason Pelosi needs to go she should be all over this- if a democrat was doing what trump is doing the gop would make it the end of the world.

A man of zero integrity lecturing

Imagine thinking that the Postal Service wasn’t already failing before Trump became president

Agree. Vote in person. Media loved Dr. Faucci says in person voting is safe. justdoit

Citizens should protect the integrity of the election by ensuring their votes aren’t thrown away or misplaced, but voting in person is considered bad.

Protect the integrity of the Nation! For crying out loud. NOKING

POLILLITAM All past living Presidents need to band together and hold a Press conference denouncing trump and asking us all to come to action.

U.S. Postal Service Counters Trump Attacks On Mail-In Voting With A New Blockchain PatentThe U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a U.S.P.S. patent application on a 'Secure Voting System' using blockchain technology. Trump’s complaints against mail-in voting on who cast the vote and whether the ballot was tampered with could be answered with the help of blockchain. What could possible go wrong? Post office isn't what it once was!!! Hence losing money!! Its NOT only a realDonaldTrump concern. Most people want to know that voting is legitimate. Both political Party's should be in agreement regarding the best course forward. If the U.S. Post Office has a secure system, lets see it. louisabai
