View submission: 'Trump warns presidential election result may not be known for 'years,' as allegations grow he's undermining the USPS to rig the election

This is what I think about everytime someone claims he won't leave office. The members of the SS have served decades. They aren't MAGA rally attendees. Hell, I believe the current head of the agency has been there for ~30 years. They will do what's required of them.

That's what I'm hoping for. Scary to think that the peaceful transition of power in the US has turned into hoping that a few thousand people do their job.

Probably a good idea to use their full acronym of USSS. The acronym of SS has...history.
