    Now that we’re in a wrestle mania timeline… how long before Trump turns on Musk over Tesla EVs, kicks him in the gut and gives him a stone-cold stunner?

    These workers would finally be getting air conditioning for the first time in US Postal history, just in time for the fucking earth to melt, and this heartless asshole wants to take that away and go back to the stone ages with trucks that get 9MPG. Fuck Trump!

    I hope every USPS worker goes on strike!

    Why is the media reporting on this as if they aren’t 99% of the reason this shit is happening?

      Because “the media” isn’t a single entity that is fully aligned on everything.

      Sure, there’s plenty of media outlets that supported trump, but there’s also many that didn’t.

      And I certainly doubt Quitting Carbon Media were pushing for a Trump win.

    I genuinely don’t understand the logic behind stopping these.
    Can anyone help me make sense of it?

        No. That’s too easy and dismissive. It doesn’t even realy make sense.
        Revenge maybe. But I doubt it.
        There’s some logical reasoning here. Something that makes sense, even if the goal it’s self is senseless.

          A friend‘s company will get the contract instead? Of course the vehicles would have ICEs, making his oil company friends happy? The cruelty would just be a bonus

          There’s always a reason, even if it’s childish. I’m guessing someone in the petro industry whined in his ear. Or someone whined that he should hate the USPS. Who knows.

            Did everyone just collectively forget about his efforts to crush USPS? DeJoy? All of it?

            Mail-in voting is still a danger to him, and privatising the mail system has been a goal for conservatives for a long time now.

            It all makes sense when you see him as a child. An insecure narcissist, who thinks the world exists for his benefit. So how does this fit into that?

                Even when they do, they’re exploring and discovering their ability to effect the world, or how things work. It’s not for no reason.

                  Yeah, and that’s where the child analogy fails. He’s not actually a child. He’s not learning and exploring the world. Learning is likely one of the things Trump hates the most, because it would imply he doesn’t already know the answer.

      Because it wasn’t his plan. Literally if anyone else does it it is bad. Trump is the most important and his ideas are the best

      If only he could make them run on whale oil and pay twice as much they would be so much better

        That’s the case with literally everything in the government pre 2016.
        Why roll back this thing, and a few others? What’s the line separating them from everything else?

          Well nothing…

          He’s wanted to kill the ACA because Obama. But hasn’t had a plan in 8 years?

          Air Force One, had be be redone after he cancelled Obama’s planned version. So his big brain re did it for a higher price and now is delayed until after 2028 ; so he now won’t get to fly it.

          I’ve not talked to him about it, but I’m guessing that he 1, hates electric cars and 2, hates anything not trump.
