Yeah but that kinda goes against the point that he fired anybody he wanted
Vs he fired who he could
Some positions just don't work like that
For instance, DeJoy
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy Taunts Dems: "Get used to me"
- Thread starter RoomService
- Start date
Vs he fired who he could
Some positions just don't work like that
For instance, DeJoy
But Comey was someone he could fire. Mueller wasnt...which is why he didnt fire Mueller.
To the psoter do you love trump this much f donald slut mother and the GOP party
DeJoy is gone.
The Democrats need to clean up the post office before the Mid-terms next year to have a chance of victory.

I just saw this. Why is this guy still the PMG?
Crackas deceptively move forward with no remorse... Fuck them
Not sure if Biden has fired the old regime's board members or not yet and added his own....if so he could have his appointees get this guy out of there in a couple weeks.....
The deal for those Mercedes vans benefitted a buddy of his.....while nice to drive, those mfkrs are becoming a financial sinkhole for USPS....
And now this.....a golden parachute contract for his family's business .......uggg this dude is terrible
Because a majority of the board of governors still support him.
Right now It's 4 Democrats, 4 Republicans, and 1 Independent (A voting rights activist appointed by Biden), but one of those Democrats was a corporate Democrat appointed by Donald Trump, he still supports DeJoy.
I assume the plan is to wait until December 8th when the next Republican term is up, appoint a Democrat, then you'll finally have the numbers to fire DeJoy, which is probably why he's moving to dish out contracts now.
I was looking at the board today, and saw that most of the appointees were
by Trump. I also saw that one of the Trump appointees has a term that expires
in December. What I do not understand is why the board extended the term of
the Trump appointed board president this February, after it expired
He’ll be done by December
I'll believe it when I see dude removed.
Embattled U.S. postmaster Louis DeJoy is still hanging on to his job
Amazingly, he might not be shown the door. That’s bad for the postal service and for Americans who depend on affordable, reliable mail delivery.
DeJoy certainly deserves his walking papers, having slowed the nation’s mail during the pandemic and likely attempting to use the postal service to foul up mail-in ballot delivery in a failed bid to help Donald Trump — who appointed him to the post in 2020 — get reelected as president.
But amazingly, it looks as if DeJoy might not be shown the door now, if at all.
That’s bad for the postal service. And the country.
‘Worst postmaster general’
President Joe Biden lacks the legal power to dump DeJoy. Only the agency’s Board of Governors can do that.
Biden wisely removed two DeJoy supporters from the board last year. But the president’s replacements, Derek Kan and Dan Tangherlini, are stalled in a Senate committee waiting approval.
Meanwhile, the postal Board of Governors this month elected Trump supporter Roman Martinez as its chairman. The retired investment banker praises DeJoy and claims the postmaster is the “person to carry out the restructuring that is needed... He is a transformational leader.”
That doesn’t bode well for any possibility of change at the postal service. And neither does this: The board, composed of Democratic and Republican appointees, unanimously approved Martinez.
A Biden spokesperson last November said the administration has “continued concerns about the postmaster general’s leadership,” as it nominated Kan and Tangherlini to the board.
But Biden certainly undercut that message with Kan’s nomination. A Republican who worked for the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration and as a policy adviser for Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., seems unlikely to call for DeJoy’s ouster.
So DeJoy will be around for a while.
And during this time, DeJoy will push his plan to save the postal service $58 billion over 10 years by getting rid of hundreds of high-speed mail sorting machines, taking more mailboxes off the street, curbing overtime and hiking prices.
“Postmaster General DeJoy’s plan to raise costs and cut services is designed to sink the postal service, not save it,” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said last year.
Meanwhile, Congress could supply a lifeline to the agency this year once it passes a 10-year, $46 billion financial plan that includes halting the requirement the USPS pre-fund retiree health benefits for 75 years.
That rule — something no other federal government agency is required to do — has helped drive the postal service toward near-insolvency for years.
To his credit, DeJoy supports the measure, saying it “is fair, it is needed, and it is urgent.”
If nothing else, DeJoy’s comment again proves that even a busted clock is right twice a day. But it does little to change what has been a horrible tenure as postmaster general — a tenure that, don’t forget, has also been marred by well-documented ethics concerns because of his financial investments in companies that have done business with USPS.
“By any objective measure, Louis DeJoy, a top campaign contributor of Donald Trump, has been, by far and away, the worst postmaster general in the modern history of America,” U.S. Sen Bernie Sanders said in a statement in December.
Biden must take firmer hand
That DeJoy would remain postmaster general for any time longer than what it takes to clean out his desk should be troubling news for anyone who cares about the postal service — which should be all of us.
And if Biden is looking to restore confidence in American elections following the GOP shenanigans of 2020, he will have to take a firmer hand to ensure DeJoy’s ouster.
We’ve suggested replacing the entire postal Board of Governors with members who are serious about new leadership.
It’s a nuclear option, but it might well be necessary to save and rebuild this once-venerable institution, whose duties are so important they are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

That sums up why folks dont really care about Biden like that. Trump did whatever to make certain shit happen, Biden is Mr Softie.
Environmental concerns have pushed Democrats to renew their efforts to oust controversial Postmaster General Louis DeJoy from the U.S. Postal Service.
Virginia Representative Gerry Connolly tweeted that "DeJoy has to go right now" on Wednesday, not long after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the White House Council on Environmental Quality issued letters urging the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to reconsider its decision to update its delivery truck fleet with mostly gasoline-powered vehicles.
Connolly, chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations, called for a "full investigation" into the postal service's multi-billion dollar contract for the new gas-powered fleet, noting that the contract was awarded despite President Joe Biden and Congress aiming to replace gas-powered government vehicles with electric ones.
DeJoy has been heavily criticized for his handling of the postal service by Democrats since he took on the role in June 2020. Complaints include cost-cutting measures that were introduced just before the 2020 presidential election and slow mail delivery during his tenure, while the FBI also launched an investigation of DeJoy over campaign contributions last summer. DeJoy was a major donor to former President Donald Trump and was appointed to his position during his administration.
Although DeJoy has faced increasing calls to be fired since Biden took office, neither Congress nor the president can directly fire him. The postmaster general can only be removed by the USPS board of governors, which currently supports DeJoy. Biden nominated two new board members to replace DeJoy allies last November but the picks have yet to be confirmed by the Senate.
Connolly told The New York Times in an article published Wednesday that the fleet contract was an "enormous example" of why DeJoy should either resign or be ousted by the board.

"This is directly counter to the goals both Congress and the president has set to have an emissions-free federal fleet," the congressman said. "I would love for him to resign and if he won't resign, I want the board of governors to fire him."
Vicki Arroyo, the associate administrator for the EPA's office of policy, wrote in Wednesday's letter to the USPS that the decision to order more gas vehicles "represents a crucial lost opportunity to more rapidly reduce the carbon footprint of one of the largest government fleets in the world."
A contract to replace the 30-year-old fleet with up to 165,000 new trucks over 10 years was awarded to Wisconsin-based Oshkosh Defense last year. The company was selected over electric vehicle maker Workhorse Group, which went on to file but then voluntarily dismiss a legal challenge over the decision.
Connolly was only one of several Democratic lawmakers to cite the fleet contract while pushing for DeJoy's removal on Wednesday.
New Jersey Representative Bill Pascrell, Jr. tweeted that "Dejoy and his enablers should be removed and thrown into the street for what they've done to your post office," while Illinois Representative Sean Casten urged the expedited confirmation of Biden's board nominees because DeJoy was "attacking the health of our planet."
DeJoy has made a modest commitment to adding electric vehicles to the USPS fleet, pledging to make 10 percent of the fleet electric while maintaining that the entire fleet cannot be made electric due to a lack of funding. Biden's Build Back Better Act, which has stalled in the Senate, would provide $6 billion in funds to help pay for the electric vehicles.
"While we can understand why some who are not responsible for the financial sustainability of the Postal Service might prefer that we acquire more electric vehicles, the law requires us to be self-sufficient," USPS spokesperson David Partenheimer said in a statement to Newsweek. "For that reason, given our current financial condition, the total cost of ownership of our delivery vehicle fleet must be a part of our analysis."
"The Postal Service is certainly willing to accelerate the pace of electrification of our delivery fleet if a solution can be found to do so that is not financially detrimental to the Postal Service," added Partenheimer. "The Postal Service has engaged in extensive discussions with the Administration and Congress to explain our financial condition and the reasons why additional funding would be necessary to accelerate this pace over the course of our ten-year contract."
