States Team Up To Sue Trump For Sabotaging 2020 Election

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit this week against Donald Trump, Louis Dejoy, and the U.S. Postal Service in an attempt to stop the damage that they are causing the postal service. New York is joined by numerous other states, including vital swing states, and they are all challenging the administration on the grounds that this will have a major negative impact on the election.  This may be the last hope to save the post office, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

New York attorney general, Letitia James filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, postmaster general Louis DeJoy and the United States postal service itself on Tuesday alleging that the, uh, three groups, two individuals, one group really, uh, alleging that they are doing everything they can to tamper with the 2020 presidential election, uh, through DeJoy's attacks on the post office that the post office has also followed through with that's why they have to be named in the lawsuit as well. And of course, all of this is coming from Donald Trump, and that is why he is also named in the lawsuit. Um, this lawsuit filed by the state of New York has been joined already, uh, by Hawaii, New Jersey, uh, and the city and County of San Francisco. Uh, so still relatively small. However, there are other States that have also filed lawsuits, uh, to stop the destruction of the post office, Pennsylvania, uh, Washington, Pennsylvania, of course, being a very important swing state.

Uh, the Trump administration so far losing court battles in the state of Pennsylvania over there, a challenge to Pennsylvania's vote by mail. So a lot of different lawsuits happening right now, but all of them geared towards protecting our election in November. And this lawsuit being brought by Latisha, James that, uh, New Jersey Hawaii and San Francisco have joined into this is a big one. This is very important. Latisha James, obviously a hugely successful so far, um, as an attorney general for the state of New York, very busy, also, uh, super admirable, what she is doing and how effective she is. Uh, I, I think we can expect great things from her as her career continues. Uh, but that's a discussion for another day. What's important right now is protecting the 2020 elections. And that is exactly what these lawsuits are trying to do. Okay. We know we have Congress out there.

They have pulled the joy in. They have made him look like an idiot. He doesn't even know how much a stamp costs costs. That's it so well and good. We, we knew the guy was incompetent. Okay. The there's, there's no hiding the fact that he he's got 75 million, I think, uh, invested in competitors of the post office. So he stands to gain financially by destroying the post office, you know, helping Trump has just kind of the side effect for the joy. It's the main point for Trump self? Shall we know all this? The question is what is the house of representatives doing to put things back? We know they've passed legislation. Fantastic. Um, mostly symbolic cause obviously not going to pass the Senate and sure as hell isn't going to be signed by the president, but what's happening with these lawsuits. This is real. These are things that could have an immediate effect. Unfortunately, I don't think there's enough time at this point as disappointing and depressing as it is to say this, we may be looking at one of those instances, uh, where Trump may have won the battle. Cool.

They did this so late in the game and it was so immediate. The things that they've done and to joy was able to convince the public enough a week or two ago saying I'm not going to mess with it anymore. And yet reports are still coming out today that they're still messing with it.
