Yesterday in the Mail, I received..

[Best_man23]

A Christmas card sent by extended family in Illinois.

The envelope was postmarked in Carol Stream, IL on December 8!!! It arrived in Stafford County, VA (Fredericksburg) on January 21. Thank Dog it wasn't anything important like medication or replacement parts for my medical equipment.

It goes without saying, President Biden needs to fire DeJoy. NOW!

1. Carol Stream

Carol Stream is one of the postal hubs outside of Chicago.

2. He can't

4. He will find a way. They cannot afford to let him stay in place.

7. He has been sued by states..

ordered by courts, and subpoenaed by Congress. To no avail. If people want a post office, guess they have to lobby for one. Biden isn't Mr. Fix-it for the absolute disaster this country is. But 'we the people' have our own representatives to deal with our concerns. Not that it matters.

But Trump isn’t the only Republican who’s been visiting with DeJoy, and DeJoy isn’t the only Postal Service leader who can thank Republicans for his sudden rise. As Yahoo! News reports, DeJoy is in "in frequent contact with top Republican Party officials.” Presumably that means Mitch McConnell. Which is quite the coincidence seeing that every single member of the current all-white, all-male Postal Service board of governors can thank McConnell for that role.
=============================
As it turns out, since 1970, members of the board of governors have served in staggered 9-year terms. The idea is to have a board whose membership is spread across multiple administrations and which owes allegiance to no particular White House. That should mean that about half those currently seated on the board are left over from Obama’s term in office, with others appointed by Trump. But that’s not what happened. In 2015, Obama re-nominated most of the existing board members for a second term, including those members appointed under Bush. Those six members should all still be on the board. None of them are.

That’s because McConnell did what he did so often—blocked those nominations. By the time Trump stepped in, the number of remaining Bush- and Obama-appointed board members was exactly zero. Then, as with federal judges, McConnell abruptly got out of the way. That means that every single current member of the United States Postal Service board of governors was appointed by Donald Trump. That board then officially ousted lifelong Postal Service employee Megan Brennan, and replaced her with Republican fundraiser Louis DeJoy.

9. He's absolutely had the Trump administration running block for him

but he doesn't have that advantage now. For a guy who has been giving the middle finger to the Democrats, there is no way they are going to tolerate the situation continuing. I am looking at the way they moved quickly on the Michael Ellis situation, as a guide to their determination when it comes to DeJoy.

3. I think it has to be the USPS board's decision. I wonder if he couldn't be removed by a lawsuit

Based on the steps he's taken which have ruined the USPS performance.

5. Biden should replace the Board of Governors - all current members are Trumpanzees

[central scrutinizer]

6. Yes, Biden must make visible improvements to everyday life

That people will appreciate. Get the USPS back to full strength!

8. In a rational world, he should be fired for gross incompetence.

He broke the USPS.

10. Same here. Very similar situation. And I'm in redneck city, FL

I think their shenanigans backfired.
