Why does the Postmaster General have a need to redact his calendar. WTF?

It won't be soon enough to see this asshole gone and in prison.




After being hit with a lawsuit in federal court, and after months of being pressed by Democratic lawmakers, the U.S. Postal Service finally released Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s calendar on Tuesday.

But good luck reading it.

Democrats and transparency advocates hoped to learn whom DeJoy, a former fundraiser for President Donald Trump, met with as he took control of the Postal Service ― particularly since he initiated a set of sweeping policy changes that measurably slowed mail delivery ahead of an election where millions planned to vote by mail. He also has a number of potential conflicts of interest from his time in the private sector, where he ran businesses that compete with the USPS.

But the calendar released Tuesday is almost entirely redacted. From June 15 to Nov. 7, DeJoy held more than 450 meetings and conference calls, his electronic calendar says. But the agency’s Freedom of Information Act office blacked out nearly every word beyond references to dates and times. Only a handful of recurring words escaped redaction: “meeting,” “teleconference,” “prep for all hands,” “in office” and “RTP” (an abbreviation for “Read, Think, Plan”).

Easy on the language or you’ll get coal.

Trucking is beyond capacity right now. Zoom meeting yesterday- PPE is sitting at JFK half a day to get through customs.

The “N” belongs at the end. That is who they work for. While carrying a Bible, go figure.
Always thought Santa was the devil fucking with Jesus’ birthday anyway. Make it about greed and waste, and money money money. About the opposite of Jesus.

a president cannot fire him - he is controlled by the "board" of the Postal System. However, there are vacancies on that board and a new president can appoint enough people that would allow "the board" to replace him.
Certainly does deserve it!!!!
And yes, it would be great if there were charges that could be filed against him!
