Trump reportedly said he would reject a bailout package if it included aid to keep the US Postal Service functioning

I have said this before, and I will undoubtedly say this again. There is a cabal in the government that seeks nothing more* than to destroy the USPS for having the audacity to be a well-liked, mostly functional arm of the federal government.

This is not a conspiracy theory, except in the very literal sense that there is a conspiracy and I have a well-tested explanation for why it exists. There are some people in our government who simply want to see the world burn, starting with the post office.

For the love of god, if you have no other issue that determines how you vote, make it this one. Contact your congresscritters and keep at them and keep at them until they shape up. (And don't believe the lies about FedEx and UPS working better. They outsource everything they don't want to handle to the USPS. I suppose it's good business to do your deliveries on the cheap, but still.)

* I'm sure they want a few other things, but you can imagine what those are. It's not pretty.

Do you know how corrupted USPS management and trade union?

(frozen)

I am confident that if they were even 1% as corrupt as Trump, the anti-post office people would have made sure we knew all about it, in excruciating detail.

You don't even live in the US; also you speak Russian.

Taxes don't pay for USPS, dipshit. You might want to get your info straight before you try a disinformation campaign here.

possibly wandered in from sitewide latest public posts?

presumably has no idea where they are

and while I know that a lot of Russian users who just want to live and let live jumped ship from LJ to DW when a Russian company bought LJ, and I don't want to make prejudiced snap judgments…

I doubt this is one of those Russians. Possibly, they're here to make trouble for Russians who want to live and let live, though...among other "targets of opportunity".

Part of their journal is in Russian. They claim in their profile to live in Niue, which is apparently associated with New Zealand.

One of Internet Research Agency's dirty tricks is to crack 'abandoned' accounts and then use them to spread their disinformation.

Yeah, my first thought was troll bot, but who knows?

Not a bot. I could deal with a bot via the spam function. This seems more like in the flesh.
