Could This Be What Finally Gets Rid Of DeJoy?

[Me.]

“A Democratic congressman is demanding that the Securities and Exchange Commission investigate a shady $54 million purchase of Oshkosh Corporation stock just hours before scandal-ridden Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced the decision to award that company with a lucrative 10-year contract to produce a new, largely gasoline-powered fleet of U.S. Postal Service delivery trucks.

"This contract was awarded to Oshkosh Corporation and is worth up to $6 billion," Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) wrote in a letter to Acting SEC Chair Allison Herren Lee on Monday. "I write to pass along reports of what might be unusual trading of Oshkosh stock that took place less than 24 hours before Postmaster General Louis DeJoy publicly announced the contract decision in front of a House panel on February 23rd."

"It definitely stinks and needs to be looked into at the highest levels. If that is not suspicious, I don't know what is. Somebody clearly knew something."
—Rep. Tim Ryan

Ryan's letter comes after he joined two fellow Ohio Democrats—Rep. Marcy Kaptur and Sen. Sherrod Brown—in urging President Joe Biden to halt the Oshkosh contract over concerns about "inappropriate political influence in the process."

1. K&R

I so want that crooked bastard to go down hard.

2. I thought they were largely electric - not gasoline???

[WA-03 Democrat]

3. Me too

[Hoyt]

7. Dejoy told Congress a week or so ago, that they could go all electric IF

Congress kicked in the extra cost of roughly $3 Billion. Considering the financial restrictions on the USPS and they have to beg for funds or loans every year, that’s probably close to true.

[tinrobot]

12. The platform supports both gas and electric.

The USPS just needs to decide what they want and how much they're willing to spend.

The electric ones cost more up front, but less over the lifetime of the vehicle due to lower maintenance and fuel costs.

[hlthe2b]

4. gasoline-powered...

[Blue Owl]

5. Lock him up already!

[Goonch]

6. Duh Joyless

[GB_RN]

17. That Face

Like Raphael “Ted” Loose-sCruz’s (R-Batshit Crazy), makes you just want to punch the shit out of it. If I didn’t know anything about either one, just seeing those faces, they piss me off enough…”Pow! Right in the kisser!”

20. The word you're looking for is

The word you're looking for is backpfeifengesicht. The Germans have a perfectly good word for this. And it applies to the Korrupt Korpulent Koprolite who most recently (until Jan 20) occupied the White House.

21. You'd Think I'd Remember That

Since I speak a little German, but that word, for some reason, always eludes me.

Fun fact: I was in (what was then West) Germany in August of '89 while the events that would trigger the fall of the Berlin Wall were kicking off. Of course, I didn't know it at the time - I was 17 and on an exchange program. Was surreal going through all the checkpoints from West-East Germany/West Berlin and then Checkpoint Charlie for crossing back and forth from East Berlin.

8. I think they should ban all congresspersons and those working in a federal agency

The top 5 persons from owning stock. Nope not in a trust either. Not in the wife’s name or any family member. Heck they are all rich anyway. Let them keep them in a savings account until they finish their term no matter how long.

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Just sent the article to my Congressional Rep, Bill Pascrell.

He's after DeJoy as well.

[Me.]

15. This

[magicarpet]

10. Where is Jared/Ivankie.....more feathers for the nest..... ?

[empedocles]

11. There has got to be a criminal investigation for the obvious destruction of

the mail sorting machines . . . somewhere . . . right?

[Me.]

13. I Would Certainly Think So

Especially as I would bet that those machines will need to be replaced at some point

[empedocles]

24. Our mail has improved, so some are being replaced.

[Me.]

26. With New Ones

or refurbishibg the ones they damaged, supposedly beyond repair?

[Yavin4]

14. DeJoy is going to need a DeFense atty because he will be a DeFendant...

and soon he'll be on his way to DePrison.

[Tommymac]

16. Let's hope he makes friends with fellow inmate DeSantis while in DePrison. nt

[Auggy74]

19. I read this and was...

..DeLighted.

[lagomorph777]

28. It's DeLightful, it's DeLicious, it's DeLovely

it's DeJoy in DeJail!

[PatSeg]

33. Oh my, so many wonderful "De" words!

This guy is so friggin' DeGraceful!

[lagomorph777]

34. apologies to Cole Porter

[PatSeg]

36. I'm sure he would be forgiving

[Joinfortmill]

18. This guy sucks.

[Bluepinky]

22. Second time tonight I've read about Tim Ryan, Democratic Rep.

He seems to be a solid progressive, willing to put some teeth in the game.

[Me.]

27. He Has Certainly Gotten His Act Together

far from the days when he thought he could replace Nancy P.

[lagomorph777]

30. I'm trying to give him another chance in my head.

[Me.]

31. His Rant Against Repubs Yesterday

was a thing of beauty

[lagomorph777]

32. Yes it was.

[PatSeg]

35. Yes, he really has

He's come a long way. I'm starting to get impressed.

[lagomorph777]

25. Deliver DeJoy to DeJail (without DeLay). It's a good bet the money trail leads to him.

[Me.]

29. ...

[OMGWTF]

38. DeLay -- oy fking vay -- there's a skeevy name from the past!

I will never be able to rid my memory of the Bug Man shaking his butt in flag pants on DWTS. I never watch that show, but accidentally saw that one scene while changing channels and it's haunted me ever since. Brain bleach, please!

[lagomorph777]

39. I don't remember that incident, but I do remember the dude.

Ew.

[BobTheSubgenius]

37. Hopefully, there is some kind of evidentiary trail that leads to his door.

I can't believe he would make a buy like that personally. At the very least, it was an associate.

[Me.]

41. Who Said He Is Smart?

way too arrogant to my mind for him to think he had to be cautious

[appleannie1]

40. Read about this the other day & also hoped we could see the back of him on the way out.

[maxsolomon]

42. No, what "finally" gets rid of him will be Biden replacing the Trumpists on the USPS Board

Who have the authority over the Postmaster General.

[Me.]

43. Yes But It Can Be A Catalyst To Get Those People On Faster

especially if an investigation is opened. I wonder what the delay is as he has already named the people for the board.

[efhmc]

44. Don't they have to be approved?

[efhmc]

45. With the advise and consent of the Senate:

The Postmaster General is selected and appointed by the Board of Governors of the Postal Service, the members of which are appointed by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. ... The appointment of the Postmaster General does not require Senate confirmation.

[Me.]

46. But Does Advise & Consent Need 2/3 Vote

how id it work for the former guy?

[efhmc]

47. Updated on Feb. 26

[Me.]

48. Thank You

JUst a few things, it doesn't say what exactly the procedure is. I looked it up and all I could get is advise and consent, but what will that entail. Also the article says there are 4 vacancies. In addition after looking at the pics of the last full board, I can guess why De Joy got what he wanted. THey all look like him in that they are middle aged white men, some balding.

[efhmc]

49. Cori Bush on that subject:

Rep. @CoriBush
(D-MO) to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy:

"Do you see it as a problem that the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service looks like a millionaire white boys club?"

She is definitely great.

[Poiuyt]

50. Ron Johnson is from Oshkosh

I'm sure he wouldn't be involved in corrupt activities though.
