Summary:
Louis DeJoy has resigned as postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) amid uncertainty about the agency’s future under President Trump.
DeJoy had notified the USPS board of directors in February that it was “time for them to begin the process of identifying his successor.” His resignation on Monday expedites that process and leaves Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino in charge until a permanent replacement is found.
“While our management team and the men and women of the Postal Service have established the path toward financial sustainability and high operating performance – and we have instituted enormous beneficial change to what had been an adrift and moribund organization – much work remains that is necessary to change our positive trajectory,” DeJoy said in a statement first reported by Reuters.
DeJoy had served as Postmaster General since May 2020. He previously donated to GOP political campaigns.
Famous for trying to sabotage ballot delivery during the 2020 election to help Trump.
kinda wierd he dint do anything for 4 years, after he sabotaged the post office? was he hoping it for it to immediately fall apart and pick apart the corpses? i know the first thing he did was eliminate OT initially for employees.
Appointed by Trump.
And biden didn’t get rid of him… it’s like the dems aren’t even trying.
Biden couldn’t get rid of him. Look up the process for getting a new one.
Yes, he could have. He needed to wait until the composition of the board changed, and once that happened, they did absolutely nothing to get rid of DeJoy.
Once again, the Dems were more concerned with potential Republican criticism than honoringntheir oath of office, and protecting American citizens from domestic enemies.
He could have, but had excuses. There were always excuses here, there , in hundreds of things that were not done, never intended to be done.
Ultimately it was worth more to allow the sabotage to continue rather than pay the political price.
No, he couldn’t. Biden literally could not just fire him. That’s not how the Postmaster General works. The committee that controls who the PMG is, would not fire him.
Biden has absolutely no control over who the PMG is. He couldn’t fire Dejoy. He couldn’t assign a new PMG.
Don’t be stupid about something you know nothing of.
I will never understand how people can blindly defend Biden, or even think that the destruction of infrastructure on a massive scale is business as usual. Or cannot be stopped under any circumstance.
Perhaps you and others have no clue of the extent of the damage , or perhaps you don’t care? Perhaps it makes you feel better to think nothing could be done.
Honestly feel contempt at this moment
I’ll never understand people so willfully ignorant like you. Refusal to believe facts because they don’t fit your narrative. I wish I could be as blissfully ignorant as you are, but I’m cursed with the ability to learn, and educate myself. You’re fortunate you are not.
you do realize THE BOG are the one that can remove dejoy right?

He had no control over the postmaster general. He only had control over a majority of the people who vote for him…
And he appointed 5 of them. You are aware you can’t force people to do something if you’re a half decent person, right? Like, free will is a thing, and unless I’m mistaken, Biden isn’t the leader of a cult, nor does he have mind control powers, last I checked.
JFC, you can absolutely make selecting someone contingent on their plan to vote against an postmaster general intent on destroying the service. What do you think the process is, just evaluating the cut of their jib and crossing his fingers hoping they’ll advance his policy interests?
only the BOG couldve gotten rid of dejoy
No, really. Legally the President can’t touch that position. I’ve got my pitchfork out too, but this isn’t one of the things to go after.
He could have allowed criminal charges against DeJoy, it’s hard to keep one’s position if convicted and serving a multi year sentence.
DeJoy destroyed so much of the infrastructure that he could have easily been charged for dozens of things, even murder when prescribed medications were lost by the tens of thousands due to the backlogs he created.
Did Biden stop charges against him? Would that stop him from keeping the position, legally? Honest questions.
I know it’s frustrating, but there are processes in place, and sometimes people find ways to use that to their advantage to do evil.
Who knows? I would like to think that; my point is, that if Biden officially recognized what was happening , and made it a point to try to stop the damage, then lots of options come open after that.
But, he ignored that: we will never know
For what broken laws? What law, specifically, did he break? Being a piece of shit doesn’t break any laws.
Didn’t they not fill seats on the board?
Biden did appoint a number of them, but there can’t be more than five of a party affiliation, and removal of the PMG requires an absolute majority of those board members. The question needs to be why none or not enough of them feel he’s a problem.
Trump is managing to get rid of whole fucking departments and Biden couldn’t get rid of a snake in a mailbox.
It does seem ludicrous, but would Biden doing things illegally be better? Everything Trump has done goes against the very principle of the country, so he’s not the benchmark we need, even though he’s “accomplishing” so much more by doing it wrongly.
Presidents were above the law for the final year of Biden’s term.
He chose to do nothing.
Everyone says this, but it was dependent upon the SCROTUS determining that it was an “official act.” Guess how many things a Democrat did would be decided to be an official act by them?
Surely there’s a middle ground between “laws don’t matter” and “it’s too bad we can’t do anything at all”. Dems don’t even pretend to try.
Yeah! Joe Biden sucks ass! He should have broken the law more! oh wait wtf
Thank you for summarizing the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. United States.
EXACTLY!!! So many people are trying to go after trump but we all know that biden is still the real enemy. Its why the palestinians still have it so hard. Hes the real deep state. /s /s /s /s /s /s…
I’m not blaming Biden. Jesus. Trump is bad and also not good. I can still be mad at my own political party for bringing a spoon to a gun fight.
I get that I just hate when the public discourse seems to be lets not focus on the real problem. You want me to not vote dem all we have to do is have republicans consistently lose the presidency and have less than 25% of congress.
Bullshit. Biden eventually appointed a majority of the postal board. If he had selected appointees based on their opposition to DeJoy he would’ve been gone. But for some reason, Biden didn’t bother.
Industrial strength like you’ve got there.
