Yet another agency Trump has destroyed. No longer usable for items you MUST have and do here in Georgia. Latest example, only received 1 of 2 auto tag renewals in Sep. after both were processed 3 weeks after the date. Other was "lost". Had go tag office & have it reissued there. Do not rely USPS‼️

Just another example how far the GA Republicans will go to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt about this upcoming election. Not to mention the chaos this would cause. It's why we need to divest ourselves from Republicans in our State Government. Rise up. Turn Out. Vote Blue. Too big to fail! 🌊

Lack of GOP leadership on display last night during this outburst. Speaker Sen. Cruz chose to ignore the comment, and let it slide. Did he agree with it? Some may infer he did. Others may offer excuses that he didn't hear it. Perfect example of Republican leadership over past 2 years under Trump.
