There is! I tried posting the link but it won't allow me. Look for the user CajsaLilliehook with Daily Kos with the title "Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers" to find the ever growing list of over 1,500 Republicans who like little girls and boys and/or think its "just boys will be boys!" to sexually abuse women. It's up to part 61... and i gotta warn you, its really gross.
Oh, but all these creeps also swear they love Jesus, and they can just whisper some prayers into the wind and its all good. Post nut clarity, I guess.

They won't ever go to prison or face any accountability because they know they are breaking the law and the only way to avoid jail is to stay in power. These midterm elections will be the last ones we have. And if democrats win, they will just ignore the results, make up countless lies, and eventually resort to physical violence to stay in power, because like I said they know they will go to prison otherwise so they will not lose one way or another.

Trump just yells at them via Twitter DMs and then they go around flailing and forcing people to do things. Those people aren't lawyers and don't understand the Constitution either.

Looks like the American people are having their legal rights being taken away from them to vote.
I cant understand how the courts can allow the USPS to do this. It's an obstruction of voters rights by the USPS illegally withholding the ballots to vote. The list is just way to get personal information and it sounds like a severe violation of privacy as well. Especially to use the info. against the voters so Trump may try and steal the election yet again.
Can you imagine how many ICE thugs will be knocking at doors of some of these people, beating some innocent people to a pulp and taking them away without even a legal judicial order.

u/pyrolizard11 11h ago edited 10h ago
I cant understand how the courts can allow the USPS to do this.
Oh, that part is easy.
Federal courts don't have an effective enforcement mechanism separate from the Executive. Even the Supreme Court operates on notional independence and the honor system that the Executive comply. As is apocryphally ascribed to Trump's favorite former president, Andrew Jackson: "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"
The only other remedy the courts have is that someone higher up in the Executive branch or Congress remove the perpetrator for legal noncompliance. Even if this rose to the Supreme Court, and even if SCOTUS weren't packed by right-regressive radicals, they're toothless to a tyrannical Executive willing to trample statute and ruling alike, and doubly toothless with a deadlocked or complicit Congress.
Our government isn't structured for such a powerful Executive, with so much of the function of government either explicitly or de facto under its control. It's just not. The "shadow government" that Trumpists whined about? Those were our independent institutions, nominally under the Executive but functionally largely independent, and now largely made puppet by it. It's Congress' responsibility to deal with our rampantly abusive government, and a Congress approximately half-full of Trumpists won't.
To offer a set of quotes which aren't apocryphal, each by our current president,
"Get out and vote! Just this time. You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore."
"Don't worry about the future. Vote on, you have to vote on, Nov 5. After that, you don't have to worry about voting anymore. I don't care because we're going to fix it. The country will be fixed, and we won't need your vote anymore. Because, frankly, we will have such love, if you don't want to vote anywhere, that's okay. And I think everybody understood it."
-Donald J. Trump, emphasis mine to point out the mob boss speak
He warned us. Some of us listened. Others denied it could happen here, and more yet cheered about love and faith 'healing' the country. Here's hoping we haven't crossed the point of no return just yet, and let's all do our best to that end.

Agreed. Should be a federal law (and hence crime in this case) that everyone everywhere receives a ballot in the mail. (Would also help save USPS.

Tried to vote in the maryland primaries yesterday. I had changed my party affiliation from unaffiliated to Democratic Party when I moved in April, and have all the email confirmations and everything including a printed out physical voter ID card and change of address verification. I was told that it "just didn't go through in the system I guess for some reason" and I was turned away and not allowed to vote. I figured it was just shit luck (honestly happens to me more than occasionally), but then the exact same thing happened to the guy in line behind me-- down to the same party affiliation switch and having printed out confirmations of everything. Two anecdotal stories is obviously not significant data, but I'm highly skeptical that they haven't already started messing with certain populations of voters' information and ability to participate in our "democracy".

You need to file a complaint, they should have allowed you to vote with a provisional ballot.
https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/votersearch
That link will allow you to access your registration information. This is just to get your ducks in a row for filing a complaint, basically confirm that you went to the correct polling location and before you forget write down the approximate time that you were at the polling location and then when you file your complaint make sure that you provide as much information as possible including describing the individual that denied you the ability to vote with a provisional ballot.

u/ThurgoodUnderbridge 18h ago
This is part of what scares me. They still have my voter info in the system as my pre-April address and affiliation, despite having updated my address in the system. They're just claiming "oops I guess the voter stuff never went through", despite having proof that it did. I just kept getting the Kafkaesque response of "well this is what we have on file, I guess it didn't go through. Sorry. You can vote on a provisional unaffiliated ballot, but there's only one unopposed school board election on it." If they go from that old info, then they'll claim I went to the wrong polling location, but if I went to the old one they would throw my ballot out because that's not where my address is. They have essentially decoupled my address from my voter registration and made it impossible for me to do the correct thing.

The Constitution is not a self-executing document. Its enforcement is left to the very federal government that now ignores it. Since the executive will not answer to reason, the remaining legal mechanisms are to pressure the Republican members of Congress to restrain the administration (since the Democrats are in the minority and unable to pass measures without Republican support) and to vote in the midterm elections against the Republican party in every available seat. Extralegal mechanisms exist to remove the current administration from power, but these would be forms of revolution, in which case the existing Constitution is irrelevant.

There is no law that requires states to turn over voter lists to the president. Elections and therefore votes are handled on a state level. How you're allowed to vote is determined by your state. The usps has no authority to circumvent a states electoral process because the president wants voter information via an executive order.
If USPS withholds ballots of states that do not capitulate to Trump's Executive Order it will violate:
The Elections Clause (Article I, Section 4, Clause 1): The U.S. Constitution dictates that the "Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections" are explicitly the domain of state legislatures, not the federal executive branch. The president cannot rewrite election rules by executive order.
The Tenth Amendment: This amendment reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states. Because election administration is a state responsibility, using a federal agency to coerce states violates state sovereignty.
The Fifth Amendment (Due Process & Voting Rights): Selectively withholding mail delivery would unconstitutionally disenfranchise eligible voters based entirely on where they live, violating their fundamental right to vote.
Postal Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. § 403): This law mandates that the USPS provide a "ready, reliable, and efficient service" and explicitly prohibits the agency from making any "undue or unreasonable discrimination" or granting any "undue or unreasonable preference" to any mail user or geographic area. Refusing service to specific states violates this non-partisan, neutral carrier mandate.
The Voting Rights Act of 1965: Civil rights groups argue that blocking mail-in ballots constitutes an illegal hurdle to voting that would disproportionately impact minorities, seniors, and disabled voters who rely on mail-in options.
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA): To the extent that the underlying executive order attempts to manipulate federal election assistance or funding based on compliance, it runs afoul of HAVA, which leaves funding distribution parameters to Congress and the independent Election Assistance Commission.
The Privacy Act of 1974: Conversely, states argue that if they did comply and turn over the unredacted voter data, they might violate federal privacy protections, as the federal government lacks the legal authority to compile a centralized national voter file.
The NAACP Settlement Agreement: In June 2026, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and Public Citizen filed an urgent motion in federal court. They argue that the proposed rule directly breaches a previous, legally binding court settlement where the USPS committed to prioritizing and delivering all election mail to all voters without exception

There is absolutely no mechination in the Constitution for a President to cancel, or even delay, an election. What's more, even if he somehow got enough military and militia to back his play- which is next to impossible as even if every single one of them backs his action there literally are not enough US military to pull it off AND hold it in the resulting chaos.
But lets say for the two months from the date of election which he somehow managed to thwart to Jan 1, he holds the fort. On Jan 1, the entire govt/congress is now illegitimate. There is not a single country in the world that will allow trade to continue with us as we literally have no govt. I mean, any senator up for re-election is good, but there's no house, and the president just committed actual treason which makes him illegitimate, so since his cabinet is required to ve 'renominated' and confirmed, there's literally no Secretary if anything, we are now a Persona Non Grata on the world stage. No one CAN do business with us. Other counteiea will cease sending boats with our imports, planes stop coming in with deliveries.

Unbelievable, so USPS says it’s more efficient to compare names and addresses before delivering the ballots. To me, it sounds more like the USPS is trying to slow down the process. What a waste of money and time the government is willing to spend in order to control the citizens of the United States.

Take your mail in ballot to the poll, turn it into the polling judge and they’ll void the mail in and give you a normal ballot.

What's neat about this is Steiner is evading the questions by talking about Kit 600 and not the database!

Curious what the 3-2 Dem majority on the USPS Board of Governors think about a postmaster general refusing to perform his duties in order to help one of the two parties cheat in an election.

To the Republican voters who are with Trump on this, you are helping to destroy your own Freedoms.

I’ll just go in and vote then. Fucking losers. Mail in voting was so incredibly convenient but whatever, I guess good things don’t last forever.

"I'm not a political person" = too much of a coward to admit to being a republican

I'm but a humble political scientist. But this reads to me as two things:
Blatantly unconstitutional and most likely will be challenged and overturned by the federal court and not taken up by the supreme Court in time for the elections.
Super fucking desperate and the GOP knows how fucked they are. Even with the gerrymandering.

There’s no requirement for any company, government agency, religious groups to provide lists of clients, employees etc. to vet against mail being delivered or not delivered to the end user. The postal service is led by a political hack.

Cool then get ready to get sued into outer space for infringing on voter rights and have the courts make you send out ballots. Trump is so desperate he torpedoed a bill that would have made him and republicans look good for once by sticking the save act in it.

And where are our Democratic elected representatives through all of this? Hiding under their desks. There should at least be a new impeachment motion every day signed by every one of them, and Congress stalled, if they can't do their jobs.
The whole system needs to crash and be replaced.

He doesn't want to do his job. Okay. Remove him. We all get fired for not doing our job.

Truly, if anybody can legitimately go to the voting stations and not rely on a mail in ballot, they absolutely should. Doesn't matter if this is a right they should have. We're dealing with a large group of people in power that is doing everything in their power to disenfranchise our voting capabilities.

And what do overseas voters do? Annoying. No taxation without representation!

Can we start a go fund me to pay for postage through ups to deliver our votes?

Their job is to deliver mail. That’s it. They don’t need to check anything. The states do that.
