*sigh*.

It just never ends with these government types.

Gotta protect those mailboxes from anti-Biden extremists.

I almost worry more about Fed LE agencies like USPS over agencies like the FBI, because the mail cops are gonna have something to prove, because everyone laughs at them.

I wonder how long before this shifts to physical mailboxes, and the jackboots show up at my place because I get the Epoch Times delivered?

You're right to worry - wasn't the USPS the first Federal agency to adopt the Thompson SMG?

My guess?

De Joy's just doing that to mollify the lefties who want his head on a platter.

fBut I'm using it to spy on Americans.

Does the USPS have the authority to monitor social media sites?  Without a warrant?

(I suppose if the USPS has agents on that site as users, then that is probably public info.)

Damn near everyone uses an alias online.  If you don't, you're retarded.  Does the USPS have the authority/ability to connect online names to real names?

Really? All they have to do is ask the NSA for their cross referenced and triple checked list of aliases to names, SSNs, DOB, and which hand you wipe with.  =|
