Summary
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy faced sharp criticism during a House Oversight Committee hearing over USPS delivery issues, financial troubles, and his leadership.
Rep. Rich McCormick mocked DeJoy for covering his ears during heated exchanges, accusing him of bankrupting the postal system and undermining public trust.
DeJoy defended his performance, citing ongoing efforts to overhaul USPS through a $40 billion plan, including electric vehicles, but admitted regrets and challenges.
Tensions reflect broader frustrations over USPS reforms and the agency’s financial sustainability amid mixed results.
This is like the pot calling the kettle black.
The GOP hired this guy with the intention of breaking the USPS after they kneecapped it with their stupid budget sabotage (remember the pre-funded 401k crap?)
This is 100% political theater. They’re both on the same side trying to make it like they’re not.
The GOP approved him and his plans so anything they say it’s just hollow bullshit.
Toddlers.
He was Trump’s guy.
Breaking the USPS was the goal.
And yet Biden did nothing to get rid of this joker.
Biden isn’t a king. Postmaster General is elected by the Board of Governors, which Biden did replace a number of. Also no more than half of them can be from the same party, so gridlock is natural.
As you said, Biden replaced members of the board of governors. They are an odd number, and the majority were appointed by Biden.
There’s really no reason for DeJoy to still be around.
Agreed, but it’s out of Biden’s hands now, I don’t like popularizing a unitary executive
And the dog ate his homework and the sun was in his eyes.
He isn’t running for anything ever again. You don’t have to make excuses for him anymore.
I’m not making excuses for him, I’m discouraging an inaccurate conception of the division of powers. I’m fine blaming him for all the things that are his fault, but I don’t think reinforcing the idea that “the president is a king who has total authoritarian control over the federal government” helps anyone except the people who want to make that a reality. He appointed what he could to the Board, direct your ire, in this instance, at them.
He chose who he put on the board.
He chose poorly.
Just like he chose poorly with Merrick Garland. Dave it, Biden made a lot of fuck ups. Both of this likely helped cost them the election. We saw there were misdelivered, filled in ballots. DeJoy had a hand in that, guaranteed.
Just like he chose poorly with Merrick Garland
He chose Garland to do the function Garland performed: dragging his feet so Democrats could run against Trump again.
So the same mistake Hilary made when she got her media contacts to talk about him non-stop.
Democrats are not learning from their mistakes
I’m fine blaming him for all the things that are his fault
Name one.
Running for reelection.
Ok. Now try something he didn’t do that he could have. Or do you honestly believe he did everything he could?
Genocide.
Now, now. According to centrists who aren’t pro-genocide at all (no siree) he just had to keep selling weapons that he knew were being used to commit an ongoing genocide because they had been approved already, and the Leahy Law doesn’t apply for some reason.
Yes, biden didn’t do anything. He chooses to work within a system where his only option is serving the slave masters’ system.
Biden should have seized absolute power and instituted authoritarian communism for the good of the people.
Nah… He should remain a powerless dummy who’s only legacy is avidly promoting genocide.
“Totally legal executive action”
Bingo!
These vultures just want to “privatize” the post office like everything else.
We had 4 years to remove this guy. We didn’t.
That’s not how it works, needs to be removed by the board. Board has to be bipartisan
How many members was Biden able to appoint? Points for bipartisan being at the end of your statement, no one was gonna read any further.
It’s not my idea, it’s the rules.
No more than five governors may be from the same party.
Appointments are made when vacancies occur or for the remainder of unexpired terms.
Governors may continue to serve following expiration of their term or until a successor is appointed, but not for more than one year. No member may serve more than two terms as a governor.
Apparently rules without any teeth though, so yeah Biden should have just broke them like a million other precedents he was to afraid to break.
I get where you are coming from but relying on “rules” and “bipartisanship” is a farce. Bad faith actors don’t play by the rules therefore they only become a hindrance to those who do.
Fuck DeJoy, what a little piss baby. Postal workers deserve better.
DeJoy is a twat waffle’s slime trail
