1. Toss DeJerk in DeJail.

[ffr]

13. +1

[gademocrat7]

2. DeJoy should be in jail.

He has taken a wrecking ball to the USPS.

[theneworiginal]

19. How the fuck is he still The Cheese in the USPS?

He's still working after business conflicts, lying under oath, defying a judge, screwing with a presidential election and tanking the performance of the operation he oversees. The Board has received letters, the facts speak for themselves.

On what possible basis is this guy still on the job?????

[nykym]

3. Fire

Him for lying under oath

[Qutzupalotl]

10. and prosecute!

[NCjack]

4. I thought NoJoy was low priority, but the QOP just lifted him to "immediate attention".

We can't have a Postmaster General walking around and talking around who is LIAR.

[leftieNanner]

5. Not just a liar

But a Perjurer!

[Marie Marie]

15. Does perjury not mean anything anymore? It used to be a really big deal.

[ShazzieB]

27. It sure did used to mean something.

Don't forget, it was once worth impeaching a Democratic president over. (Although, of course, the Repugs would havw impeached Bill Clinton for drinking the last cup of coffee and not making a fresh pot, if they thought they could get away with it.)

[Rebl2]

28. Apparently

not in the political world or for those who are filthy rich. You and me would be thrown in prison pronto.

[jpak]

6. Lock him up

Yup

[2naSalit]

7. Well well well...

How soon can he be rounded up for perjury? Hope it doesn't take long, he's a major threat to the nation.

[Maraya1969]

8. More from the article. He really fucked up.

The Republican’s memo also optimistically projected that DeJoy’s plan would result in “some mail” being “delayed by one day.” This was likely an extreme underestimate. During the spring and early summer of 2020, before DeJoy was appointed, on-time rates for USPS packages averaged around 92%. After he became postmaster general and implemented his cuts, on-time rates plunged by around 10%. Even in late January 2021, DeJoy’s changes were still causing mail backlogs from the holiday rush.

9. I have a mail carrier friend who has been working massive overtime for months

[malaise]

11. Fire him now

for lying to Congress and lock him the fuck up. Until these fuckers face serious consequences this madness will continue.

i want to know where the location of all the sorters he forced them to remove.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

12. "Under Oath" is the only place to insure democracy prevails.

And breaking that oath needs serious consequences from anyone who swore to protect the Constitution.

[tableturner]

14. Let's not forget his campaign finance violations (reimbursing employee contributions)

16. I'm in Colorado, and I use the USPS's "Informed Delivery" service

where you get an email every day there is mail for you telling you what it is.

It's not perfect; big mail pieces don't scan and they just have to tell you there's a mailpiece with no image, for instance. But it is extremely helpful when every step hurts.

And packages are shown, often even a day or two in advance of expected delivery - and you can go to a detail page which shows the expected delivery time - and if it's been delivered, where it is (in my case that is either "mailbox" or "porch" depending on size.

But I have noticed something interesting about packages - that, if the expected delivery time is between 1 and 4 pm, my regular carrier has it, and it will be delivered. But, if the expected delivery time is by 8 pm, a contractor has it, an there is at least a 95% chance it will not be delivered that day and will not be delivered until it is given to the regular carrier.

I need to go get a package today, probably from my porch as it's almost certainly too big for the box - that was supposed to be delivered by 8 pm two days ago.

I'm sure the cut in overtime is related to this.

Incidentally, my mail service here is much batter and much faster than it is in many places and I give my local people credit for that.

[MyOwnPeace]

26. I use the same 'service'

(Informed Delivery) - I've had it for over a year and as late as last March I could set my watch by the daily delivery of my e-mailed notice. It was ALWAYS there by 8 AM.
NOT any more. Sometime, rarely, it will still be there by 8, but more like 8:30, 9, and sometimes even 10. It is a great service and I'm all for supporting the USPS, but I'm only pointing out that these delays in the notification began when DeJoy started 'doing his thing.'

[soldierant]

31. Yes - it's a good tracker for the damage DeJoy is doing.

Which is why I brought it up.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. Arrest him now, then fire him.

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. looks like Hank from Breaking Bad

[AllaN01Bear]

20. when can we get rid of him and get our own in?

[Hassler]

21. And no Chump pardon for DeLiar.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Didn't lying to Congress get one president impeached?

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. Darn, wouldn't that be illegal?

[keithbvadu2]

24. DeJoy destroyed millions of $ worth of mail sorting machines.

DeJoy destroyed millions of $ worth of mail sorting machines.

Surely there must be a cost-benefit analysis to make such a business decision. Let's see it.

Otherwise, figure sabotage.

[Grokenstein]

25. Oooo, this should be some interesting testimony.

"Who told you to destroy the sorting machines, and did they give you a reason?"

[Dream Girl]

29. DeJoy was counting on Trump winning the election where perjury would be a nonissue

[DanieRains]

30. It's Not A Felony If It Is A Rich Person

Someone of color, it's a felony and you can never vote again.

The plan....
