For some reason, the site doesn't recognize the equals sign =. My comment was Paid Late equals Paid Late.

Louis doesn't care.. Time to get rid of Louie.

Four years ago she was my dark horse pick for VP. Then she ended up losing the Senate seat and I was afraid she might be done completely.

who the fuck is the 2nd pic?
william zollars? "nominee to be a governor (republican) of the united states postal service board of governors"

that word, republican, is jumping out at me. is that another dickhead to put a monkey wrench in the works when dejoy can't do it anymore?

. . . if only the USPS Board of Governors will fire DeJoy and hire someone who is public service oriented.

In my 28 years in the Army I served in German, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong. Don't know about Vietnam, but, every other country including -- as far as I know -- just about every other country on the globe has a POSTAL SAVINGS BANK. It's a bank run by the postal service that provides basic banking service -- savings accounts, checking, money transfers (to pay your bills) -- that also generates a small profit. But when you extend that small profit over 300 million people, that income helps keep the service solvent.

Why do we not have a USPS Postal Savings Bank???
