    Jim, I will continue to be obedient to the Word of God and pray for our leaders - ALL of them, including Trump - and trust in the Lord with all my heart, and HE will direct my paths.
    'obedient to the Word of God'.

    pieces of it perhaps.

    Explain why this seems normal to you.
    Chances are the guy is either going to be a Biden supporter or Trump supporter. He's he not supposed to have a job because of partisan loyalty? To assume he'll conspire with Trump to favor his reelection is just pure assumption. The guy who made the accusation is also a union leader, so naturally he's going to oppose any suggestion of cutbacks and, in this political environment, even put a politically conspiratorial spin on it. It's kind of a stupid conspiracy theory anyway. If he delays the postal service, then why wouldn't that affect the ballots of both parties?

    While I wouldn't put it past some Dems to sabotage the election if they thought that was the only way to get Trump out of office, that doesn't appear to be the case.

    We know the Dems will sabotage it because they've been trying to sabotage Trump's election with claims of illegitimacy since 2016.

The Dems always have every interest in removing the Republican President, particularly when the screw up the works like Bush and now Trump are doing. The election is only going to be a chaotic cesspool as you put it because that is Trumps intent. He filled the postal service with political hacks and cronies in order to slow down the mail for just that purpose. Trump has you thinking exactly the way he wants you to think. Trump knows he's in trouble, and Republicans now know they're in trouble for supporting the crook, but it's to late for them to turn on him now so instead of doing the principled thing, they really have no principles, they're going to stick it out and hope the American people are stupid enough re-elect them anyway.

    but I'm done. I don't live to trash other people,
    Do you ever spread peace, love and joy? And, yes, you DO trash people -- you just don't like it when it comes back to you.

    but the things happening in our nation wrt Trump and wrt those that support him are critical and dangerous. And it would be best it people like you, that will vote for him again, could get out of their fantasy world
    And live with you in the world of ever present gloom and doom?

    and open their eyes to how devastating this presidency has been. We are inflicted with the most cases and the highest death toll of any nation in the world because if the irresponsibility of this administration. Our relationship with our NATO allies is at an all time low. Our president is in the process of invading our cities with a nationalized police force that he controls and has threatened to invade more. He has delivered Putin nearly everything he could ask for, and put our relationship with Chinal in the toilet (though something needed to be done about their theft). Our nation is split asunder by racial tensions which he continues to fuel. And he continuously sides with misinformation, half truths, and out and out lies that on a daily basis increase the chaos and tension across our nation.

    Trump has been very, very bad for our nation, even if prior to covid we had a little more money in our pockets. And it is not the sort of problem we can just pretend 'is not really so bad'.

    But it's not a conspiracy theory when the Dems are blatantly illustrating how things are going to happen. They're creating a narrative -- Trump will delay, Trump will refuse to leave, Trump will obstruct, etc. -- that doesn't have much merit since he shows very little interest in a second term. The Dems have every interest in removing him no matter how they do it, and so far, they've demonstrated that in spades. We saw what the Dems did in Iowa against their own candidates. We see all sorts of reports of election fraud in the news. Every indication that Nov election is going to be one big chaotic cesspool -- missing ballots, tampering, miscounts, mistrust, accusations -- and we'll know exactly why that is and who's to blame. You'll see when I'm right.

    See - rather than deal with the truth, you focus on demeaning the person confronting you with it.

    No, Jim, you're all about doom and gloom - ZERO joy.

    Perhaps you should concentrate on what I bolded and then offer Godly counsel on how to deal with that effectively in Christ, rather than continually pushing forward misinformation and denial as the solution. We are not called to deny reality CP, we are called to walk through it with Christ and in the hope he gives.

    Do you EVER post anything Philippians 4:8-ish?
    Do you ever have anything positive to say about those you disagree with? Do you realize that you trash the character and motives of nearly every person you disagree with. That you think nothing of posting critical, negative, and demeaning things about those people you disagree with on a continual basis? Do you realize just how demeaning you are to others, not about what they think or the ideas they put forward, but about who they are and their general worth as human beings?

    Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

    The crap you post, I would expect to read from your lost-as-a-goose unsaved friends.
