"At Least The Trains Ran On Time"*


Actually, it's so much worse than that:

“So you didn’t do any analysis to see how seniors would be impacted,” Sen. Rosen confirmed. “Okay. Let’s move on. Did you do an analysis to see how veterans might be impacted knowing, knowing that so many of our postal workers are veterans, we employ so many veterans, that they aren’t getting their medication and that they rely on 80%, Did you do a specific analysis to see how veterans would be impacted?”

“The only change that I made was that the trucks leave on time. Theoretically everyone should have got their mail faster,” DeJoy claimed, a statement that can be called into question given the reports of massive backups of mail in postal facilities.

“So you can, can you look me in the eye and all the Nevada veterans in the eye all the Nevada seniors in the eye and tell us that you will not continue in the policies in the future that you know that will harm my seniors, my veterans here in Nevada, and all of our seniors and veterans across this nation? Can you look us in the eye and commit to being sure that they have on time, delivery?” Rosen asked.

“Yes, I can commit to that,” DeJoy responded.

He does no study, but he knows what's "not needed."  Hmmmmmm......  And his "commitment" is worth the paper it's printed on.

Well, that hearing didn't last long, and it closes with the political genius of Ron Johnson (the Gym Jordan/Louis Gohmert of the Senate):

Well, it's more ammunition against Trump.  Johnson can try to pass it off as an astroturf campaign against DeJoy; but people in Michigan and West Virginia and San Antonio know better.

Good luck in November, GOP.
