Postmaster General Dejoy Taunts Democrats: You’re Stuck With Me for Good (But Biden Has Other Plans)

“Get used to me.”

Louis Dejoy, February 24, 2021

Today, from Rawstory:

President Joe Biden is moving quickly to fire Louis DeJoy. Or rather, since the President does not have the power to fire a Postmaster General, he is moving quickly to have him terminated.

Yeah, well, the United States Postal Service is a weird thing, not fully government, not fully private, not fully understood by Louis DeJoy. Thus it is that, technically, the president actually cannot fire the Postmaster General. But in the end, the president is the president and the postmaster general is the postmaster general and if they go head-to-head, the president is going to win that fight and likely by the end of the day. (More Below)

Get used to there being consequences for those who don’t stay in their lane.

President Biden has a lot of friends and those friends know a lot of people. Moreover, the Board of Governors to the Postal Service can fire the Postmaster General and guess who is about to appoint three new board members? That’s right, the guy that is going to win this fight.

The President “will nominate Ron Stroman, the Postal Service’s recently retired deputy postmaster general; Amber McReynolds, the chief executive of National Vote at Home Institute; and Anton Hajjar, the former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union,” the Post reports.

Gaze in awe. Perfection. Biden nominates one guy that has already served at very high levels in the USPS and probably wasn’t impressed by DeJoy cutting equipment and imposing delays, all for a political agenda. Biden takes the exact opposite direction than DeJoy to ensure people can vote from home. And, the President picks the lawyer for the union workers, who were most certainly not happy with DeJoy’s move to cut overtime and stall out the service for Trump.

Perfect. “Get used to me.” Nope.

Get used to Biden being the boss and still having a job the next day.

Peace, y’all
