US Postal Service removing mailboxes for security reasons ahead of inauguration

Mail collection has been suspended at some mailboxes as well, according to the Postal Service. "It's part of our normal procedures to keep our employees and customers safe during times of protest or when large crowds are gathered near postal facilities, on postal routes, or by mailboxes," Postal Service spokesman David Partenheimer told CNN on Saturday.

In Washington, DC, mailboxes will either be temporarily removed or locked, and notices have been placed on the individual boxes indicating the date they will be unavailable for service, according to the Postal Service. At least 14 post offices in the nation's capital will be temporarily closed as well on Inauguration Day.Read MoreThe Postal Service removed mailboxes in Washington, DC, during the inauguration of President Trump in 2017 as a safety measure, Partenheimer said.

Happy new year. Los carteros trabajan incasablemente por el covid-19

Great. If I’m lucky, my father’s Christmas present will be delivered by freakin St. Patrick’s Day.

Oh brother

How does removing mailboxes improve security?

What a fucked up regime

What a nice little country we've carved out for ourselves. We shouldn't be ashamed, nosiree. JESUS.🤬

It’s sad all the Democrats have gone in office RIP USA

Gets the stamp of approval

Next thing you know, Trump will be baking this into his election conspiracy. My ballots were in those mailboxes!

Absolutely, YES! It is ok to remove mailboxes if it means saving someone's life or preventing violence. Most Americans are tired of this nonsense!

Everything needs to be shut down except emergency and hospitals on inauguration day in ALL 50 U.S. STATES.

Um... Didn't they do this for Big Orange when he went in office? Y'all just love some drama. Worse than The Weather Channel during a hurricane. 🙄

Unfortunately, Trump has been the Commander in Chief for 4 years ... I think he knows all your moves before you do.

You have to be kidding! You can't make up this crap or your minds!

Present Trump took those mail boxes

They probably just made back to the street after Trump tried to hide them all so he could try to steal the election. Right move though

Maybe they should try and not lose 3% of the mail.

Awesome, for it's starting to look like we're going to have President Donald J Trump for 4 to 8 more years great job Mr President!!! Glad is possibly no Joe, and keep voting out the swamp rats!!! That's called Keeping America Greatrighteously.org

Whew I thought it was blinky

So it’s ok if the left removes the mailboxes?

Security measure? Or DeJoy with one last FU to Biden for winning?

With mail delivery just as bad today as it was last month and the month before that, who will notice the difference?

Sewers must be inspected

But remember they're Christians who really care about fetuses.

Whew! For a moment there I thought Louis DeJoy was still trying to suppress the vote in black neighborhoods by removing mailboxes. Thank God that nightmare is over with.

Can’t they just block Donald Trump from using them?

Save up your soup cans and string because sooner than later we’re gonna need them to communicate...

It did that on election night at 3am. Or was it delivered?

This and other actions see normal for known Presidential travel routes

Bombs in mailboxes is an old IRA tactic🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤬🤬

Let’s watch to make sure they put them back.

isolate the entire city, you idiots
