Two lies in one cartoon. Would you say that California, with a democratic governor having the largest economy of the United States, was run poorly compared to Kansas that had to stop giving out reports on its economy because the Republican state government ran it into the ground?
Trump selected a postal board that literally decided to impede the ability of the Post Office to deliver the mail.
Steve, do you take pleasure in the knowledge that state governments are having a hard time because your chosen one did such a poor job containing the pandemic that all of the states have suffered? You think that the consequences of 190,000 deaths, huge numbers of evictions and large employment are a source of amusement?
Do you think that destroying one of the most respected government services just for private greed is not truly despicable?
Trump has told people the check is in the mail for decades. Always a lie. He keeps the money. Because he’s a crook. Also, isn’t it interesting that those “poorly run cities” were doing quite well, and were quite peaceful before the Trump era? Could it have anything to do with him funneling money away from them and into “red” leech states? And piling on heavier tax burdens Like he did to NYC?
So, CA and NY are states that pay more money to the FEDERAL Government than they have returned. Asking for some of their OWN money back is an affront to those in power. Guys like Mitch (Yes my mother had a relationship with a talking Michigan Bullfrog) McConnell. Why, because Mitch’s state is a deficit state, taking in much more money than they return to the Federal Government.
These hypocrites enjoy CA and NY’s bounty, but they don’t want the people who earn the money to have a say on where it goes, or how its spent. Yes the Republicans are supposed to stand for States Authority, and states rights, but if its a state that has money, they want to manage it. Lying sacks of crap, everyone of them.
Remember when Trump told police not to be so gentle with perps? Remember when he said to use 2nd amendment solutions for Hillary? Remember when he told the mob at his rally to rough up reporters and protestors and he would pay their lawyer fees? (that was a lie, of course) He has encouraged divisiveness and violence and then blames the cities for the results
They weren’t “poorly managed”. They were reliant on high tax revenue. When that revenue disappeared with the lockdowns, they got budget shortfalls. Aid to cities and states is really aid to their people, and Trump’s willingness to screw them over is proof that he has never really been President of all of America. Without the aid, those states will have to cut services and raise taxes, further damaging their economies.
Deliberate attempts and actions to destroy the post office goes way beyond “casting doubt”. As far as withholding funds from Democrat run states, where the hell do they think that money comes from?
I kind of like this one. Or I would if the first two panels had anything like toon-reality. Poorly managed cities and states? By whose standards? And he’s not JUST casting doubt on the USPO, he’s hired a hatchet-man to finish the ruin of it that was started by the right wingers requiring it to pre-fund 50 (more?) years of retirement funds.
No point even talking about the fact that the USPO is constitutionally mandated.
The only reason he’s labeling cities as mismanaged is because they’re led by a Democrat. Most of the cities’ problems like the USPS were created by THE ORANGE MENACE in an attempt to steal another election from the American people.

It is ENTIRELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL to extort some states and give preferential treatment to others!
Ya know, like extorting foreign countries!

I see that SKELLEY is still ignoring Trump’s withholding information about COVID-19 from the American people.

They’re in the mail and should arrive shortly after the election when they’ve been evicted. Checks can’t be forwarded.

Mr Kelley other than the drivel coming out of Trump’s mouth what evidence do you have that these cities are poorly managed?

Poorly run cities, or underfunded cities?

Well at least Kelley is not denying the fact that Trump is denying funds for political purposes. In fact, he’s confirming it.
