Trump’s Plan to Sabotage the Post Office Before the Election: A Closer Look- Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Trump’s Plan to Sabota...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth - Komedie
The worst thing isn't even that he's trying this stuff, it's that nobody is stopping him.
You got it!
Yeah, Seth's Dad, who purportedly hates that Sea Captain, is playing right into that dusty scalawag's hands!!!
The ones supporting are expendable but they still want to support this wretched man
Absolutely agree!!!!!!!!wtf!!!!?
tickledpink
Democrats TRIED to stop him, but Republicans were in complete control.
How is it even legal for people to hold office in positions where you have significant funds involved in competitors?? That is direct conflict of interest. How is insider trading illegal but that isn't?
the GOP doesn't want to turn the USPS into combination KFC/taco bells, they want to turn the USPS into UPS. "letter to grandma in rural wyoming? that'll be $27.50."
Exactly, they deliver mail to EVERY address in the country at a reasonable rate and they are an essential service. Support the USPS!!!
@Plane Fan this is Republican hipocrisy in a nutshell. Fiscally conservative, therefore can't fund something like Medicare because it's too expensive. However, $1.5 trillion tax cut? Absolutely because of reasons...
$25 billion to ensure the USPS runs normally after they screwed it up? Too much to ask, but billions for a useless, ego project like a slat dense "wall". Absolutely because "security".
I'd call it laughable, but it's more despicable than anything else and I'm sure as hell not laughing...
"Nothing lose money like the post office".... true, nothing else is forced to pay those pensions in advance.
shorgoth 👍🏼
Nothing loses money like the post office". False they paid 4 billion to the government every contract I know I was there 32 years there self-contained the day the POST OFFICE ends America ends
@@beedee9534 Tell that to tRUMP! If he steals the election he will end the USPS & he could care less!
Funny how he's done nothing to "fix" the Post Office for the last four years ... it's just now that mail-in voting is an issue that he decides to tackle this "problem".
So predictable, right outta his playbook! His father had everything to do with it
Yep- exactly. That’s why he appointed a crony and loyalist to post master general within the last few months
That's classic trumpism.
"Nothing looses money like the Post Office!"
You do Donald. Frequently.
Also, isn't it supposed to cost money? That's what taxes are actually for: paying for public services like the Post Office, not lining the pockets of the ultra wealthy. You want to talk about something that loses more money than anything: how much does the Military actually make to cover all those trillions it costs again?
Funny how he doesn't understand that.
"LOSES" not "looses".
Democrats keep mentioning the post office because they are trying to groom the public to accept ballots that have no signatures, past the deadline, etc. and then try to blame it on Trump.... Already happened with the New York Democrat primary in June....
@@joyphillips1821 Source for that claim, Trumper?
@@joyphillips1821
I'd love, so much, to see even a word of that proven beyond "InfoWars said so".
My autoplay just came up with "how Hitler gained absolute power".
Terrifying isn't it? How would you like to see history firsthand? I'm afraid we're about to ... Hitler was also a small-minded childlike idiot and he still managed to wipe out almost an entire race in the most horrific fashion.
Geoff Pulham it probably gave you some insight to the Republican Party, huh?
@@commonsense320 This was copied from the "Big Lie" wiki. This phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile.
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it Never to admit a fault or wrong; never to accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time; blame that enemy for everything that goes wrong; take advantage of every opportunity to raise a political whirlwind.
This article, titled Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik (English: "From Churchill's Lie Factory") was published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State
The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
Got that right!!!!
No problem. If it’s okay for Nancy Pelosi to get a blowout, Lori Lightfoot to get her hair done, Andrew Cuomo to go to the gym, I’m sure it’s safe for all eligible snowflakes to put on a mask and go vote in person. 😂😂😂😂
Trump saying the post office loses money.......... meanwhile he's a man whose casino went bankrupt. He managed to bankrupt a place where people literally give you money.
Amanda M Yup, you’re correct
*6 casinos and countless other business ventures
You’re wrong. His casino didn’t go bankrupt. His casinoS (plural) went bankrupt. :)
My uncle was a blackjack dealer from the day gambling was legalized in Atlantic city. He was part of the casino workers union. They voted to give Trump a $60 million dollar loan. Within 90 days he filed bankruptcy. The result for union members was retirement went from 20 years to 25 years and health benefits were cut significantly. Donald Trump is on record calling it good business because he walked away with a hefty profit. Meanwhile my uncle died after 23 years in the union after complications from not taking care of his diabetes. He missed so much work and used all his time off etc. until he was let go without health insurance and without retirement funds. He should have been retired for 3 years instead he died penniless unable to afford medication.
Box of rocks
Seth is one of the best at this style of news comedy. He’s really funny and can make me laugh during the worst of days, brutally honest about the hot garbage that is our two party system, and fully in touch with the harsh reality of the working class in America (despite having enough money not to care I assume), along with understanding and speaking out about the evils of late stage capitalism.
Thank you, Seth. Sincerely.
this is a great comment (are you sure it belongs on youtube?)
John Oliver is pretty good for that too.
You should also check out Some More News. Cody's pretty funny.
Seth you have kept us all smiling over here in the UK during the pandemic and I just want to say thanks ♥
@TheViperFan You've got that right. This country has become a dreadful place since the Brexit vote, and I can't see it getting any better. I used to be quite proud of my nationality. Not any more. I'm so sad that our family circumstances preclude our leaving the UK.
@TheViperFan
Yep, you're right, but I was thinking the same thing about the U in USA. Hardly a united states anymore. Never seen so much hate in this country since the Orange divider showed up.
He's basically telling us exactly what he's planning on doing when he says things like "I don't want to have to wait for results" etc. That's exactly what he wants.
He ain't leaving. He's going to need to be forcefully removed....this is scary as hell.
Malignant Tumors often need to be cut out.
@@DHWraith hopefully trump get what his brother did.
It may be wrong, but I hope that removal is televised!
Yeah, either in cuffs or a coffin.. either way.
1/20/2021 at 12:01, if and when, he loses he'll be removed by force if necessary. Even if no result is declared the Trump time in office ends. He'll be replaced by Nancy Pelosi the Speaker Of The House if there's no clear winner.
Trump is absolutely terrifying. I'm just so dumbfounded as to how we could have let him get this far, and then I remember, "Oh yeah, tea party and republicans." FML
nabulsha - I'll bet the people of Germany felt the same way when they heard of the OVENS - DUMBFOUNDED !
Couldn't happen w/o either an incompetent or cooperative Dem party
If we haven't figured out its them (the leadership of both parties and our corporations and .0001%ers) - against us- we truly are lost
Pelosi and the House are out of DC till Sept 14 - everything we, the people are dealing with and they're joining McConnell on vacation
As 10's of millions are left with nothing
This wouldn't happen if Dems fought 1/10 as hard as the GOP
but they don't
#GOPtraitors deserve the death penalty.
@@smswkpk I just have to look at your "name" and figure out what your about. Siding with "both sides" to say you were "correct".
Personally, DJT has been (and for a very long time) been the worse POTUS in history.
You want to know why the Demos have been quiet?
They let him talk! They let him do this to PROVE one thing...that he is an idiot, hell bent on making MONEY for himself and his friends.
Karma will be served with RELISH in November.
Trump is down by so much that he will lose any way you look at it. He will lose election night, probably lose worse a week later, he will lose election day votes, and lose write in.
I’m glad people are talking more and more about this. This affects every person living in the US, the USPS is a fundamental part of our democracy. We cannot let this fool get away with this clownery.
He is a criminal.
I have never liked using any other service than the USPS. They have been the fastest, most accurate way for me to get letters, cards, and packages to where I've sent them. Screw Trump and his greedhead cronies!
Yet the USPS is the crucial backbone of making Amazon operate ... which your side wants to burn down (because they're an evil corporation). In fact, BLM in one city specifically targeted and burned their regional Amazon distribution center. So which is it? Postal service a fundamental part of the nation? (sounds conservative) or a key pillar propping up billionaire capitalism? Man, you people are cognitively dissonant... just "woke" platitudes after "woke" platitudes... whatever way the virtuous wind blows, on any given day. You folks never worry about how your side's alignment on values is so wonky and inconsistent. One day to the next, one week to the next. Whatever sounds and "feels" good and wholesome... you just do that. Bigger picture, screw that. LOL
@@abandoned-mines-novascotia No one in this entire comment section nor the above video is speaking about Amazon. You're clearly deflecting from the topic at hand. You want to speak about cognitive dissonance? Look in the mirror. You're clearly rejecting new information that's conflicting with your own beliefs, which is why you're deflecting to something unrelated to the topic at hand.
@@abandoned-mines-novascotia someone mailed a severed head in the mail... I guess anyone who supports the USPS must be in favour of murder, too... Thanks for your rationality.
Who caught this? _"Literally, potentially, _*_if you really did it right_*_ ... years."_
Yeah, yeah--I caught that. The duality exists: he (1) wanted to sound smart, then (2) realized it was also a really good idea.
@@02mb
I don't think he thinks that fast. I honestly think he gives away every 'strategy' they discuss.
Sometimes, I really think he's testing the waters... _'I'll just slip this in here & see if there's any reaction...'_
I don't think he's the mastermind, but I think he understands $$$$$. It's the only damn language he understands.
And Pompeo has complained that the election in Belarus was not free and fair. How ironic.
Biden literally stole the election.
In the Netherlands we have a saying, something like "mopping with the faucet running".
But like the USA has sooooo many faucets running, whenever you try to mop one thing up you discover that the entire basement is flooded, lol.
Well said!

Indeed. Chump is flooding this republic with his swamp of corruption.
Exactly!
Trump is the king of projecting.... Literally every criticism he makes about someone else reeks of his own insecurities and failings.
Or what he’s actively doing in that moment. “Dems are trying to steal the election” or “Dems are overweight geriatric orange clowns with syphilis damaged brains”. That kind of thing.
oh he reminds me of my kids. But sadly and omg help us all. He it our president.
That's exactly right.
That's how it goes with extreme grandiose narcissism that has never been addressed by any positive influence.

DAMNIT SETH, WEVE BEEN OVER THIS.
“Dammit, my student loan officer found me” is the truest prediction I swear
For those who don’t know, the Post Office is self funded and does not lose money, in the early 2006 a Republican bill was passed that required the Postal Service to have 75 YEARS worth of retirement funds on hand that day. As a result of this insanity it looks like it’s losing money.
Wow. Thank you for the context and clarification. I was just about to look all of that up! #BIDEN2020
that's what the video said...
Why am I not surprised by this ?! The Reps are so Incompetent it's a miracle they're still getting votes.
@@zarakikon6352 it's unfortunately not a miracle. Their voter base is very stupid
jerk fudgewater - thanks. There's a bucketful of facts at about czcams.com/video/vPK72LN2OCY/video.html and I looked in the comments to see if there was a summary, save me taking notes.
If anyone wants a more in-depth explanation of the USPS, LastWeekTonight has a fantastic video on it.
i read your comment, thought 'maybe i will take a look'. look to the right of the comments section (without even scrolling) to see suggested videos. 'voting by mail: last week tonight', 'dialysis: last week tonight', 'north dakota: last week tonight', 3 out of 9 visible suggestions
I love seth, stephen, oliver and trevor!!
@@MichaelP833 Yeah, the video suggestions are sometimes bizarre, and not related to what you're watching at all. I have one 'Closer Look', a 'Stuntmen React' and a 'CinemaWins' video.

"Nothing loses money like the post office," says the man with a horrible business record who is currently tanking the U.S. economy with his inexcusable Coronavirus response.
Nothing else is required to pay obscene amounts of money to workers who haven't even been born yet either.
2006 Republicans taylored a law that makes the post office lose money on purpose. Until then they made a profit.
John Oliver did a clip about it: czcams.com/video/IoL8g0W9gAQ/video.html
No, that's anyone in finance where it takes 2 weeks to receive a payment, etc....
It's not very hard to read his playbook. Every appointee is a deliberate pick.

That's fair. Now the US government should give the United States post office 75 years of operating funds, upfront.
The USPS every year gets a massive amount of $0.00 operating budget from the government. It is totally funded by its services. We the people fund OUR post office through the cost of the mailing/shipping we do. Write your Senators and Congressmen and have them repeal the 2006 "advanced retirement funding" bill. SAVE OUR POST OFFICE and NATION. VOTE BIDEN/HARRIS 2020

The only domestic terrorism is this country is the liberals and the attacks on police/property. Keep dreaming snowflakes
This is also a direct attack on all veterans who rely on the USPS for prescriptions. 😡
“I don’t want to be waiting around for weeks and months and literally, potentially, if you really did it right, years.” If you do what right? Contest the results of an election that hasn’t happened yet.
that part got me too. "If we really do it right" "it will take years" was it a slip of truth? if he dose not get his way, he will make it take years? "with litigation" Of all the compulsive liars ive known its when they try to add truth in that the red light go off..
@@ladykeen1321 No he will just have the Supreme court steal the election again like in 2000!

... there isn't a doubt the USPS is an essential service for EVERYONE.
Hi there.
In a country where one healthcare company profits 6.6 BILLION for the 2nd quarter of 2020 there are no essential services.
But, you're right, USPS is an essential service. Infrastructure is an essential service.

What's crazy is that he knows a lot of people are thinking he'll do this, but it still won't stop him from doing it. It's like when your kid is stealing cookies from the cookie jar and closes his eyes so he won't get caught. "If I can't see you see me, then I'm not doing it."
Who's he trying to steal from, the Bugblatter Beast?
It's more proof that Trump really does have the mind of a bratty kid. Which is to be expected from a spoiled brat who lied and cheated his way through life and always found a way to escape the consequences...until now anyway.
@@Wolfboss7 Daddy Fred groomed him by spoiling him. No matter how incompetent he was, Spanky would be shielded from the consequences and even rewarded as if he did something right.
Perfect analogy! 😹😹😹 ugh. 🤢🤮
Now deJoy is having Mail Sorting Machines REMOVED from post offices too.
Seth, thank you so much for such a comprehensive video of what is really going on with the Postal Service. As a 28 year veteran of the USPS I appreciate the time and research it took to make this video. I hope America pays attention. We aren’t perfect but we do care about our mission of serving the public. The USPS is the people’s post office and not a tool for politicians or there to enrich others by privatizing it and gutting service while raising rates.

The Postal Service could be saved for less than the cost of a useless wall.

YankeeUseMasksOrDie at least if it were made of aluminum, it wouldn’t have been destroyed by the wind
They have no interest in saving it. They will quite happily let it go the same way as the UK service, others throughout Europe and most likely the rest of the world. Public Utilities and Services are in high demand with Hedge funds and Private Enterprise. Grab hold of the things general population rely on, then milk them for all you can get. Stay safe America....From a disgruntled Scotsman.
And money would not have to be Stolen from the military budget.
Also less than the amount of money it costs to buy a quality waffle iron for every man, woman, and child, and person of no particular gender!

LOVE SETH'S DAD. A real mensch is Seth, who makes his parents proud.
He also managed to verbalize my exact thoughts on why both the duck and the captain should leave this segment asap
@@johannes-josef My dad WAS a sea captain and would be turning in his grave - if he was dead.
@@EricIrl you're one of the weird kids on the painting? Why you don't want to talk with your dad! 😅
He's a Hader....guy
(UK viewer here). Yep, I think it was a mistake to write two characters that are, I guess, just really unlikeable. If I were to imagine a duck or a sea captain, they would invariably be friendly characters, who maybe assisted Seth with some of the political jokes - like puppets on children's tv. But I hate them both. The echo on the sea captain's voice is a bit unpleasant as well.
" Nothing loses massive amounts of money like the Post Office...." Says the guy who went bankrupt 6, or is it 7 times? And in the process lost 1 BILLION DOLLARS, the largest amount ever squandered by a single person.
Howard Kerr , he may also be successful in bankrupting the entire country.
"The president knows he can't win in November with a majority of votes..."
*Looks at the elections of 2000 and 2016*
That doesn't seem to be much of an impediment for them.
Maybe this is just me - but does no one remember establishing a public postal service in the US was one of the most important aspect to shaping our democracy and country? I remember learning about the importance of the postal service in school, many times over the years. It's a right we are promised and it IS a public service. I can't believe that ANYONE can justify privatizing or abolishing the public postal service in this country! Also (newsflash!!) we've been voting by mail for over a century, so for Trump to pretend this is new and will ruin our democracy is bullshit of the highest order. And the scariest part is that there are people falling for this.
"Nothing loses money like the Postal Office"... have you heard of Trump's casinos, Mr Trump?

@@estebanelguapo Spam.
"c ya, don't wanna b ya!"
Correction: It’s actually “I’ve got yours; sucks to be you.” Because let’s be real: not a single Republican politician has paid all their taxes.
Why do people have such a slanted view? That’s not at all with the republican party is about. That is what the Democrats want you to think.
One thing that is consistent is when money gets tight and operations get harder, companies start to slack or cut the areas that see the least amount of action/traffic, so for the Post Office that means the heartland where UPS, FedEx, and other mail carriers won’t go to because it’s not profitable.
Trump's big tell when he lies is his hands waving to emphasize his bs.

@@matttthewcheng I thought it was when his lips moved.
Q: How can you tell Trump is lying? A: his lips are moving
No, it's the moving lips.
Privatization of the post office would be a hard hit to rural america, people who have medications delivered, and people who utilize it for correspondence and paying bills.
Yes!!! Its just a reason for some already rich person to buy the USPS and make money. They brought this country together, and are in the Constitution. If it wasn't for the ridiculous law republicans passed, THEY WOULD BE MAKING A PROFIT. Does the Army make a profit? Does the DOD make a profit? How about the Department of Education?
This is an abomination! Go buy some stamps and a gift from the Post Office and VOTE!!!
That's the bewildering thing, since many rural communities are Trump supporters.
More than 60% of prescriptions that are processed through the VA are delivered by the USPS. What are our veterans supposed to do to get their much needed medication?
It would lead to them barring prescriptions eventually so they can force you to pay higher prices.
Funny enough the people most affected would be the Trumptards. But they're too willfully ignorant to see that
This is so crazy! It's sad that everyone doesn't know about this.
I love the Sea Captain, best addition to the show. More interesting than the Thornbirds shenanigans.
@13:57 "Puns, which are the lowest form of comedy."
Larry, you are my hero.
If I lived in the US, I'd constantly be in a state of dread over the crap that the republican administration is doing there.

Welcome to my world
Yes, it depresses me so much. It's Trump for Dictator and Biden for President. Hope BUT Vote people.
Dont believe what you hear in American media. I live here and its been the best 4 years I have had. No mail problems...no coronavirus problems. Its a dem sham
Also if the post office were to disappear, people who receive any kind of medication /medical equipment though the US Postal Service [like myself] wouldn't know where to turn. Most likely the companies that distribute our drugs / medical equipment would turn to FedEx or UPS, but many [again, myself included] may not be able to afford the increase expenses that come with those private shipping, especially in America where we are already struggling to pay for said medicine / medical devices.
Seth hit the nail on the head when he talked about who are the "republican party cater" to!
I've received packages sent via some messenger service but delivered by the local national Post in Switzerland, Belgium, France, Spain, the UK and the US. My local postman (Spain) knows how to tell whether I'm in my house or in my office (he needs to look for the network cable which I draw in and out); a deliveryman would walk up and leave a "missed you" note.
Not only do USPS and its siblings reach every corner of the country, they provide their competition/contractors with that coverage. If the private services needed to cover every little farm and dinky town, they'd need a lot more personnel and facilities than they have.
Appointing a man who has millions of dollars invested in the failure of the post office to oversee the success of the post office? The corruption knows no bounds
Don't forget Betsy "Cruella" DeVos, in charge of public education while having millions invested in privately-run education services.
Now all those getting social security should NOT vote for Trump. He’s messing with your income !

@@venelinmihaylov2318 2032... he'll be 86, but I seriously doubt he'll be a pinnacle of good health by then. Alternatively he could pull a Grover Cleveland, but if people learn from him during his first term then the non-consecutive spot stays with Cleveland.
WE LOVE YOU SETH MEYERS AND FAMILY!!!!!
Your Pops with The Captain was Classic!
Remember, the postal service is completely self-funded. They do not receive a single penny of tax payer money.
They needed a bit of support during the height of Corona with income goling down through the closures and costs skyrocketing with the necessary measures like spitguards in the offices and rearranging to allow spread out cueing and all... but IIRC it was only a loan so it will be paid back in reasonable time...
But they HAVE been forced to spend money on retired employees that have NOT YET BEEN BORN! Think about THAT one - and the GOP that forced it on them so they can privatize it solely for THEIR profit...
There is such deliberate, unfettered EVIL in the GOP it's amazing they have not ALL been put away as pure psychopaths. WHO steals your health insurance in a pandemic? Who puts babies in cages - and doesn't even find out WHO THEY BELONG TO?
Vote the Blue, Shoot the Red. After all, the Reds are trying to re-elect The Don as well.
THANK YOU! I can't tell you how many times I have had to educate people on this fact.
I pay $62.00 per yr to get my mail in a box downtown. No home delivery. USPS is an unequal provider. Divide and conquer as they say. I love my post office but it is not free.
@@thesoundsmith That's what galls me the most. They have to prefund 75 years of benefits for future pensions, which no private company would ever have to do.
What the hell is going on in America now? This makes no sense.
We have a sociopath president.
I'm baffled that noone pulled off a JFK yet, Trump REALLY earned it - unlike Kennedy.
We were taught to compete against one another, view one another with distrust and judgement, and that we are each entitled to everything we want no matter how much it may hurt other people. I am surprised we didnt get Trump sooner.
You know what's going on. Your life is in danger. Your brain is telling you to chill out, be calm, but self-preservation is saying fight or Flee. Everything piled together is making people freeze like a deer in headlights.
Too much crazy being normalised, allows the real crazy to be cranked out without much challenge
I've seen this comparison before and I agree: People don't talk the way they talk about other government entities the way they talk about the post office losing money. Nobody says "the military loses 700+ billion a year" they say "the military got a 700+ billion budget". The USPS is an essential service, it doesn't "lose" money the way a private business does.
I love it when Seth makes himself laugh. Typically it feels genuine.
Yeah every company on Wall Street that took bailout money should have to dole out 75 years of pensions.
Definitely - many other big employers need to meet this requirement!
I agree. Hold these money grabbing bastards to the same standard !
Remember when the president loved our country? Seems like a thousand years
remember when dems loved our country?
i don't
Most shocking part of this segment.. Cats still having 53% on Rotten Tomatoes 😂
Again, you’re the best Seth!
I love how Americans still think that they live in a democratic country.
fvd\ssss
If by “democratic society”, you mean communist or dictatorship, you’re right...that’s what we’re living in, in 2020. And Bozo Chump “wins” aka a rigged election like in 2016, we’ll look at the last 4 years as “the good years”.
@@philbrown9764 He will NEVER have the presidency more than two terms. I will take up arms if that happens
@@tinussmit2689 _"more than two"_
Your basic reading skills need some work Cletus. And you are calling someone else 'stupid'... Classic.
@@tinussmit2689 who owns fox? At this point anything not republican extremist, or trumpist, take at least a few issues with him.
We don’t “think” we do. We simple accept the facts. Nothing we can do about it. Accepting simply eases the pain.
I love how Seth keeps giving it to Tom Selleck. He should be ashamed of himself. Keep shaming him Seth, he deserves it. Also, USPS is a government service, so stupid to expect it to turn profits.
What is the feud between them?
It did show a lot of profits! Watch the video again!
@@ingelarson6738 I did. And it's no longer turning profits. It's not 2005.
@@fieradrake7855 Tom Selleck hocks reverse mortgages on tv. They are trying to convince mostly seniors who own their home to borrow against it. There's a small interest rate at first, but then gets so big they can no longer afford it. Before you know it, grandma and grandma are homeless. It should be illegal really.
@@missjem79 that is preying on the old and vulnerable. Very bad. Thanks for sharing
It's my first time watching, I love the humor and kept me watching . Very informative 🤣
Thanks for the bit with your dad ❤️
The Post Office isn't supposed to be a for profit part of the Federal services. It's supposed to assure mail service to all citizens, not make money.
True. But in the fascist worldview anything paid for by the people that is actually for ALL the people (as opposed to the ruling class) is "communism" and must be stamped out. I liked the GOP a lot better before they went full fascist and realized that the people actually expect a little something for their tax dollars. Now, all our money gets funneled into the corporations that support the current Admin. or directly into the Donald J Trump Cayman Islands Slush Fund.
@@jarrysciligo5395 You liked the GOP at some point? Deep down this is who they always were. They are all amoral sociopaths looking to further their own wealth no matter what. The only thing that matters to them is money alone. They would send you to die if it meant they had a few more dollars in their pockets. Human decency, honor, and empathy are lost on them. They have made it clear these past few years. Their seemingly limitless corruption has now been presented on the world stage. Everyone finally gets to see them for what they really are. The messed up part Is there are brain washed cultists that still support them.
My God our country is in so much trouble..
The Sea Captain said FORCED SEGUE and I am wheezing🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Nothing loses money like myself... Wait... "
I haven’t had mail service at my home for two days now. This is ridiculous. I am a retired senior who gets medicine through the mail and I don’t live in a rural area. Please vote Biden/Harris in Nov. We have to have a WH administration that is for the people and that respects the Constitution. Trump is a disaster.
The Post Office is not a for profit business, it's a Constitutionally mandated public service.
And even then, it still makes more money than Donald Trump.
Stephen Tomsky Unfortunately, this matters little to Trump and his kind...
@Thrasymachus Monk From conning idiots, his only skill. Put him in charge of an actual business and watch the numbers go down.
Someone should tell him
@Thrasymachus Monk Oh yeah, fair point... when he gets to plunder taxpayer money, that's the only time he isn't in the red, because every time his businesses aren't subsidized by the American people without knowledge or consent (or by daddy's inheritance), he can do nothing but lose.
Great president, huh - no skills that aren't lying and cheating.
I moved in December 2019, and I still have not gotten ANY forwarded mail, even though I have submitted 4 change of address requests and paid money for each of them! I have also filed requests for investigations with my current post office, my old post office location, and the central post office in D.C. As a result of this lack of mail delivery, I have missed out on court dates that I didn't even know were scheduled, missed deadlines to file appeals on government benefits I was due but denied, and missed numerous other crucial notices that affect my health, health care, retirement benefits, and local government rights. The damage has been in the thousands of dollars.
Great segment, Seth. Thank you!
I see he still wants to be the last president and the first emperor.
Guys, the postal service is entirely self-funded. They don't use tax dollars.
The only reason they were losing money was because they were required to PRE-PAY retirement benefits. No one does that, it's insane.
Yes. That was in the video.
why didn't Obalma stop the PRE-PAY retirement benefits when he was in power for 8 year then? just asking!
This is absolutely terrifying... How are people just letting this happen? Why does the world need to be such a messed up place even though there are so many good people out there?
First time the sea captain makes me laugh out loud! Didn't like him much until now, but now I love him!
Dude this guy is gonna destroy democracy 🤦♂️.. god help us
He's really going after Ton Selleck's reverse mortgage commercial. So much so the Tom Selleck has made new commercials telling people that it's definitely not a scam to take your house. LOL
I noticed that.
@@crystalheart9 0a6pa6
Keep. Asking. Questions!! Keep up the pressure!!
The endless jabs at the mustachioed reverse mortgage man are hilarious and important.
Just when you think that little man couldn't get more corrupt, he proves you wrong.
thats like saying "highways lose money or schools lose money" they are a public expenditure
It doesn't have to be that way though...
Mark and we don’t spend money on them anyway!
Thats nowhere near a fair or accurate comparison
@@emmanuelsanchez4396 yes its an extrapolation. My point being that it was created as a public government run service not a profit driven corporation. There would be dangers in making it privatized and for profit.
We love you, too, Seth. I love that you say that each night.
Yes!!! From now on: every media should blur out his FACE!!!!
Nobody loses money like the Post Office? Ya mean except Trump University, Trump Wine,Trump Airlines,Trump casinos, Trump steaks yadda, yadda, yadda.
Trump water!😂
He's the best at losing money. That's why he doesn't have to pay taxes, and is terrified of having his records released.
Funny/sad part is....his base thinks he's a"successful" businessman! He's a joke! Good thing his daddy gave him so many millions...he needed them all to stay solvent....such a failure on every level...he does nothing well....
Trump vodka?
I legit laughed my ass off on this one.
Trump would definitely smoke a cigarette using both hands like he drinks water.
😂😂
His base would make excuses that he didn't want to burn his tie with the ash from the cigarette etc.
quick correction: self important windbags smoke cigars
Notice it's small cups... Fiji water is usually thought of as a big bottle hence why he used a small one. He s trying to make his hands look big
He gets plenty of practice from Private Time with Putin.
Amazing, my father was a Sea Captain and spoke to paintings. 🌩😎✌
*_LONG LIVE_* the Sea Captain *and* The Beatles *AND* the USPS!
He is a master at tying things up in court. That is what he is hoping for. Crooked to the core.
I wonder if Trump hears that invisible accordion he likes to play.
Lol
He really starts pumping that thing when he's telling a whopper
I miss these episodes from his attic. Idk why but they just gave me a nice feeling inside.
People *don't write* letters anymore. Ever since the internet.. people just go online to email. It is cheaper and faster than writing a letter and mailing it, especially to another country.
