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.
You’re right of course. On the other hand this policy of strictly following established laws and precedents is in part what got us into this mess. Democrats could’ve been ruthless but they were meek. And now they have become almost entirely sidelined.
If neither party follows the law then what’s the fucking point of laws man? Seriously. What’s the point? We are a nation of laws. We have to be. I have so many complaints about Biden and the democrats but at some point flagrantly violating is not ok. If it is, why are we mad about Trump doing it? You’re literally saying Biden should’ve behaved like Trump.
Democracy requires forbearance. If no party behaves that way then I don’t want to be a part of this country anymore. A lot of people talking big game but none of yall truly grasp what it would mean for us to completely abandon our congressional system.
I believe administrations like FDR or JFK would’ve tolerated none of this shit. Biden looked weak as hell. I like the guy and I support the democrats but you can’t take the high road indefinitely. I take your point though and I’m not happy about it either. But I would’ve preferred a bad boy Democrat administration over whatever the fuck this is…
