Trump admits he is damaging the post office to hamper mail-in voting

Harsh new statement from Schumer/Pelosi:

“The President’s comments today made plain that he will manipulate the operations of the Post Office to deny eligible voters the ballot in pursuit of his own reelection. The President’s own words confirm: he needs to cheat to win.'

This is really serious. Trump is blatantly trying to manipulate the election in his favor by crippling the post office, in order to disqualify as many ballots as possible.

We don’t have the will to beat the virus

I blame Trump for this country’s terrible response to the coronavirus. But the public has to take some of the blame for being unwilling to make the sacrifices needed to beat the virus. Great tweet by Peter King.

The truth is, we do not have the will as a country to make the relatively tiny sacrifices (masks, no huge gatherings) to make this pandemic go away. That is why we just passed 5 million cases. That is why we can't resume normal lives.
— Peter King (@peter_king) August 10, 2020
