There's probably shenanigans with the USPS that can be done that I haven't thought of, but I can't imagine the capacity to just shut down the Post Office. It's a constitutionally enshrined function.

But don't forget that Trump has already succeeded in getting away with numerous things that were previously thought unimaginable for even a President to get away with.
Have you read his convoluted statements regarding the USPS? I wouldn't put anything past that guy.

I hear you. The guy is so incredibly egocentric and narcissistic that I suspect that he would rather risk the whole nation perish in a nuclear holocaust than admit to having done anything wrong or admitting to having been mistaken about anything. And, of course, should that really happen and he somehow survives it, he would never accept any blame for it. He will scapegoat anyone from liberal Democrats, Planned Parenthood, The World Health Organization, the LGBTQ community, BLM, Muslims or anyone or anything else he can think of for the disaster.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Will Trump go quietly if he loses?

A swing of 38 electoral votes is all that's needed for Trump to lose and the world to win.
The world won't win with Biden. Obama didn't do much as president, what makes you think Biden will?

Biden is straight murdering Trump in current polls. Full-on Republican wipeout levels. If only the election were next Tuesday. It's not, though, so long road ahead.

Something that gets me is Trump's numbers are being propped up by the CARES act that is currently, and only temporarily shielding a huge % of the public from some of the worst economic conditions in US history. Cheating or no, he'd be looking at a Hoover-like generational defeat in the face of that. If the shoe were on the other foot, I have zero doubt Republicans would kill any further aid and bet on a wipeout to sweep them into power to do something post-election. Democrats aren't built like that, though, so that's not likely how it will play out.

Electing a rabbit to the Presidency would be a significant improvement because of what is being removed.

Biden and Trump work corporations. How is our life going to improve significantly with a Biden presidency? I don't think we are going to feel the difference. Yes Biden is better than Trump, but I wouldn't call it a significant improvement. Hopefully I am wrong, but I doubt it. And Trump is better for space exploration.

Is Biden going to try to murder us while lying about it? If the answer is no, that'd be a significant improvement.

Explain what that has to do with my comment regarding Trump, please.
