Des Moines residents question why mailbox went missing during tension around USPS
Link


Juanita Gustin said she used the mailbox on Friday, but now it's gone. A Google street view image from October shows where it stood, but on Wednesday it was nowhere to be found.
"That was something everybody in the neighborhood used. We have nothing close to us," Gustin said.
Gustin was wondering if it could be politics at play.
A USPS spokesperson said the box was removed because employees were unable to open it, something that happens often due to vandalism or mechanical failure. He called the removal standard procedure. He said a replacement mailbox is on the way. The USPS spokesperson didn't specify when the mailbox would be back.

Seriously? Trump can get away with this? And then the F..ing republican governor Kim Reynolds blocks Iowa's Attorney General from joining in on the lawsuit against Louis DeJoy? I think we should just build two extensions onto the Whitehouse. One for Vladimir Putin and the other for Kim Jong Un.

This is the colossus of the U.S. empire on its feet of clay actively picking away at its own feet. MAGA, by dismantling and destroying critical infrastructure of the society itself.

Any reasonable person would call this treason. You know that's what the Repuggers would call it if the Dems were doing it.

It just cast the 100th vote. it is now 96 to 4. Proving we still have some blind zealots left on this forum.

Its so obvious what he's doing. Donald has never been subtle with anything. He learned a long time ago he can do almost anything he wants because no one has the balls to stop him. He gets away with all of it and thats our fault, not his. And its not balls either, the guy is a coward. He's just always had a crapload of money to protect him from anything he does so he never learned self-control or humility or accountability.

I ran into a Trump supporter, 100% Fox News only watcher. Literally watching Fox news while he talked to me. Utterly convinced the Democrats have gone off the deep end. I told him I voted for Bernie, his mouth hung open, then his boss called so I was like cya! I don't like talking about that stuff in my travels at work, and took the out asap.

The country is soooo much worse off than anyone can imagine. We have THIS postal thing, and then we have Donald Trump praising QANON, and his threatening not to leave office should he lose, and an entire republican party in his pocket. And soon, an entire US Supreme Court in his pocket. When people refused to vote for Hillary Clinton simply because they didn't like her looks or her laugh or her eyes or her husband, when people decided to vote for Donald Trump is THIS what they expected? Have they no shame? Have they no shock? More and more I now believe that THIS will unavoidability lead to a national civil war. A violent national civil war, one against the other. At what point is enough, enough for Trump people? When the postal system no longer exists? When this president can serve in office until he decides the time to leave? When people can no longer vote? I see a division unlike we have ever seen since the civil war of 1861. With the divisions so deep and this president so utterly out of control that Americans will have no choice but to take up arms and take back their country. I mean, this is really getting bad.

Real Trump supporters know that Fox News is not longer extreme enough and have started to move over to OAN.

We need to win the election. Impeachment at this point would be totally Quixotic.

I don't expect him to be removed from office. And we absolutely need to impeach again anyway. We are fucking up royally trying to sit on a 10 run lead going into the 9th inning while the other team is cheating their assess off.

if there is a civil war, who will the standing army side with?
who will the national guard side with?

Since this is supposed to be an opinion forum any of the 6 "No" votes care to explain

Almost everyone can see Trump is sabotaging the mail to stop mail in ballots
Trump admitted in public he doesn't want to fund the post office to stop the mail in ballots.

Yet you still voted "No". Now's your chance since I hear some people can't express their opinion. Time's yours.

If you are just trolling why can't you admit it?

Assuming the poll is in answer to the question posed in your title, the answer is "No" because you failed English.

Then why not edit the title for him. It’s only one word. Help a guy out. 🙂

And to be honest, effect can be seen as correctly used as a verb...it does have that ability.

And affect can be used as a noun, btw, when talking about a person...a person’s affect, or outward display of his/her emotional state.

So, really, what’s incorrect about the OP’s title?

"Effect," when used as a verb, means "to cause" or "to bring about." Does that make sense in context?

Mods aren't here to fix grammar.

DeJoy deserves the Ukrainian treatment, to be physically deposited in a semi-full dumpster, on live TV. For starters.

I reckon that is in his mind, but it doesn't seem like a very coherent plan or one likely to work. I think it's more just him thinking "postal voting, bad, thus post office bad...Trump smash post office"

Trump affects to be a creator of affluence, but his effect is to produce effluence.

Come on you now 7 people. I keep hearing claims dissenting voices are silenced and stifled. Now's your chance. The floor is yours.

Explain your "No" vote despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Or maybe 94% of us respondents are mistaken. Tell us why.
