50 million Americans who, inexplicably, still think there is no urgent reason to vote.

6. Weren't Biden's Postal Board Nominees Just Installed Last Week?

People whining about De Joy still being there a week later could be just out to sow distrust with Biden/Dem or as my granny would say trying to start sh*t. No wonder Biden's approval is so low. Same applies to Barr not being indicted YET. Yep, justice moves slowly in America and that AIN'T Biden's or the Dem party's fault. Feel free to report my comment but I just had to get this off my chest. I'm just not equipped to deal with all the whining and moaning on DU.

I think I made an OP about it a week or so ago.

But here it is.

Biden had to appoint a Republican to one of the open seats, by law.

He chose Derek Kan, who previously had worked for Moscow Mitch, and for Mrs. Mitch Elaine Chao, too, as well as GOP Finance Committee.

What do you think the chances are that Mr. Kan is going to vote to fire DeJoy?

I do not know why THAT PARTICULAR Republican was chosen for this job. Mid-term ballots are coming along soon.

It's a gut punch. Gotta say. It's a real gut punch not to ever have explanations for things, too.

This was a gift to Mitch to get these and other nominations through the Senate. Hope it included Supreme Court appointments up through the end of Biden's terms.

The Postal Service is every bit and more political than it ever was in olden days when the president's campaign manager was usually appointed Postmaster General. It's just appears to be political spoils by committee now. Maybe even a Byzantine system in reality.

I keep asking why there isn't a POSTAL CARRIER on the Board of Directors.

It is unconscionable, to me, that a Moscow Mitch associate was appointed, out of all the possible Republicans in the USA.

Do Biden advisors not understand just how DeJoy effed our election and how corrupt he is???
