I still remember the GOP trying to dismantle the USPS while trump was in office. Even destroying perfectly good equipment! Guess they had a change of heart?!?

I doubt it since DeJoy is still the Postmaster General

I don't understand why though 🤷‍♂️

Biden can't fire DeJoy. It's a 9 member committee that has control.

That committee can have only 5 members of one party. Biden also can't just remove someone from the committee, there needs to be specific cause.

It's that committee which would need to remove DeJoy.

Because apparently Democrats also don't care if the Post Office is destroyed and privatized. They may say they do, but in terms of action there is none.

You should read how it works.

There are literally still two vacant seats on that board, unfilled, four years into Biden's presidency. And Biden has put a democrat and a republican in already. Guess what, if he had just done exactly what Trump will do and filled all of the vacancies with democrats, they would have the majority. But he didn't, and he won't, so we all have to sit around and watch while the post office dies

They don't want fascism, they just want the dems to magic handwave away all the problems.
