Postal service?.

How can you even question the importance of sustaining the postal service, especially so close to your presidential election and in view of who currently holds the office? It is run by a valuable Trump supporter and donor who has been frantically dismantling the only option many people have to vote, at the behest of this clown. In dismantling your postal service, is it also an act of dismantling your democratic system? .... and I am an Australian.

Answers all the questions.

Amazing podcast for anyone, easy to understand but definitely not boring.

I have an episode suggestion - Presidential Pardons; Can you look into whether or not a president can ‘pardon themselves’ (as Trump is said to be considering this if he loses the forthcoming election)?
