I guess since it has dissapeared from discussion..will he be removed or not?

This is serious.

I worry since all the other awful events and mass shootings has made the issue dissapear.

Biden nominated Anton Hajjar, former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union; Amber McReynolds, CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to expanding vote-by-mail systems and former elections official in Denver; and Ron Stroman, a former deputy postmaster general.

critical first step.

6. So easy to make a mess; so difficult to clean it up.

But I'm confident Diminished Donald's handlers knew that when they instructed him to appoint DeJoy.

8. I think he's still an important tool for the GOP traitors in 2022.

So removing the criminal from that position is going to be a battle.

10. Short answer.. not really

Biden has put forward 3 nominees to join the 6 on the board.

However, the 6 existing, including the "democrats", all back Dejoy. So that leaves, best case, a 6-3 vote to keep dejoy.

Biden would have to clear some of trumps selections to actually have a chance to remove Dejoy. And theres, to my knowledge, no actual action or indications of action on that front. Nor has Biden, as far as I can tell, indicated a specific interest in having Dejoy removed.

11. Great, I guess I'll just have to keep holding off on using the mail for anything vaguely perishable

or time sensitive. I guess Dejoy's cocky 'tude was warranted, he's burrowed in like a tick. Another Trump era fecal stain that refuses to be scrubbed out.

But I can understand, Biden and his administration have many fight ahead so DeJoy, P.I.A. that is may not be a high priority right now.

14. Right? Not a word about that, or how about the Trump Crime Family members?

Not a whisper. Which does not bode well for Justice, or our future.

16. He continues to destroy the postal system

I had a much needed medication disappear. My pharmacy provider shipped it on 3/5. The USPS claimed they delivered it on 3/9. Great that the USPS was so fast and efficient. But for me? Not so great. No meds. Despite their records, I did not receive the medication.

My provider shipped a replacement via FedEx right away so there was no interruption in my med therapy. That was good.

Then, on 4/5, I received this dirty, beat up package. It was the original shipment! Priority mail only took 30 days. I could’ve walked to the provider and back in that time. It’s about an hour to drive there and back. But it took 30 days.

We need to get Dejoy out of there (and I wish in to prison) ASAP.

I have a live plant trapped in limbo. It went to the right place on the 15th. The right place sent it to Satellite Beach for whatever reason. Satellite Beach sent it to back to the main distribution center. And it's in limbo.
