Please, WH Press Office, tell the American people why DeJoy is still Postmaster.

[Grasswire2]

I'm getting tired of typing the information to people begging for an answer on twitter.

Someone at the WH ought to convince the MSM to tell the story of why Biden can't just fire him.

I type the answer probably fifty times in a twitter session every day and see the question many more times..

NOBODY IN THE PUBLIC SEEMS TO KNOW, and they BLAME BIDEN for not firing him.

DNC could do it, if the WH would allow.

1. I know why.

And many of you do, too.

But the vast majority of America doesn't understand this.

[SheltieLover]

2. Our govt is set up fo prevent change, for better or worse

But the avg voter doesn't realize this.

This is why we always have a midterm circus.

[sprinkleeninow]

3. dejoy needs dehoosegow

[Blue Owl]

4. How can Dump just magically appoint him but it takes some fucking committee to get rid of him?

[Grasswire2]

5. It's the law.

And it's complex.

Trump badgered the former Postmistress General into retiring early so he could shove DeJoy in that job ...

and it's obvious that he knew full well what damage DeJoy was going to do and how difficult it would be to get rid of him.

Biden did do a couple of things that are hard to understand, too. His last nominee to the board is a man who worked for Moscow Mitch and for Mrs. Mitch. Biden could have appointed an Independent instead of this man Derek Kan. And he could have arguably asked for a commitment from the other board members he appointed. That did not happen.

Two more seats come open in December, but that will be too late to save the midterm ballots.

6. And Is Biden incapable of badgering DeJoy into retiring early?

If not, can’t some IG determine that he has been financially benefitting from contracts he selects?

If not, can’t some friends of Biden make his life less pleasant in some manner?

[Blue Owl]

7. Maybe they could hire JL Cauvin to impersonate tRump

He could call DeJoy and 'smooth-talk' him into retiring early with his bigly, very strong, way with words!

[FBaggins]

10. Only if you're willing to have the next Trump have that same power over Biden's eventual pick

I'd say live with it until the votes to force him out are there.

[Grasswire2]

15. But Biden could actively be putting those ppl into the Board as seats open up..

...people who are willing to fire DeJoy for corruption.

Not for politics.

For rampant, blatant corruption.

That isn't happening. The last person appointed had worked for Moscow Mitch, for Mrs. Mitch, and for Republican Finance Committee. Derek Kan.

[Grasswire2]

14. inexplicable

With mid-term balloting coming up.

DeJoy's corruption in the job is legendary. His intent is clear.

And if Biden hasn't taken actions to put in Board members with enough moral energy to fire him, then DeJoy is Biden's man in the eyes of some.

[tritsofme]

8. Honestly, I would be surprised if more than 5-10% of the public has ever heard of DeJoy.

That’s why they’re not spending a ton of time taking about it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. Biden keeps nominating people who are pro-DeJoy, so I think the conclusion is pretty clear.

[Grasswire2]

13. it's inexplicable

Especially nominating someone who worked for Mitch McConnell and also for Mrs. Mitch.

Didn't have to be this way.

[brooklynite]

11. "The American people" have no idea who DeJoy is, nor do they care.

Nor are they "blaming Biden".

The only people who care are activists and bloggers. And Twitter is not an expression of the real world.

Responding to people on social media is a choice; just don't bother if you don't want to.

[Grasswire2]

12. gee, I think you ought to get out and about more. nt

[brooklynite]

16. Please elaborate

How many ordinary voters know about DeJoy or the Postal Board of Governors or the President's role in appointing them?

How many ordinary voters rate postal service as a serious issue in their electoral choices?

17. I'm Out & About

I know of nobody who is experiencing the negative outcomes we read about with USPS.
Not that these aren't real, but if it was epidemic I find it hard to believe I know nobody who has had issues.
I get regular shipments of cigars out of a company in Florida. I have never gotten them more than 3 days from order date, usually 2.
I don't think the problem is as big as advertised & I don't think DeJoy has all that much clout.
Most of what he did seems to have been recommended by USPS senior management.
I don't mean this as a defense of him. He's in over his head. The company he ran before this was a pipsqueak. XPO bought them with pocket change.
But, if I were Biden, dumping DeJoy would not be near the top of my priority list.

19. that's a one hour response to one tweet.

Insignificant?

What do you think our prattling is here in this teeny tiny VERY OBSCURE corner called DU?

How would you characterize that?
