Chills....but it was a nothing burger. Something about interest they'd paid me on a refund that took forever to get.

When Biden took office, I recall it was said it would be the end of the year (2021) before Biden could get rid of him. I understand there's a procedure, as he's not a direct presidential employee, but WTF is he still doing there?

I'd say the same about ANY fucking tRump holdovers. They should all have been told to follow MF45's doughy shitstained ass right the fuck out the door.

There's a trail of issues that we 'assumed' would be handled when Joe took over - DeJoy certainly being one of them, especially with his own arrogance regarding his position ("Looks like you're going to have to get used to me...." ).

I think this is another case of Joe STILL trying to 'hold out the olive branch' and show that he is willing to compromise and 'work together' - and the RepubliQans keeps smacking his hand and throwing 'poo' like the monkeys that they are.

And thus made it impossible to get rid of him.

And, as the article points out, Senate GQPers have been slowing down and obstructing Pres. Biden's nominees as much as they possibly can.

too. No mail delivery yesterday. We didn't get mail after New Year's for at least 2-3 days. Last week there was no mail one day.

I'm ready to write my new Democratic Congresswoman. Her local office is in my zip code. I wonder what kind of service the office is getting?

...because thosebin charge don't consider him the threatening bogeyman others do.
Despite the shrieking fear, his actions weren't consequential to mail-in voting, morebpost offices in rural red areas were closed than in other locations, and mail service has recovered to pre-pandemic level in most areas of the country.
He really wasn't competent enough, or powerful enough, to do the damage predicted.
Now, he has governors not rubber stamping his ideas, so he is now essentially just another bureaucrat.
Biden is, IMO, better off doing nothing so his launching doesn't appear politically motivated.
He's nothing. He's always been a small player in the business world. He's still a small player.
He's nothing.

An imp check had to be canceled bc it got lost in the mail. I didn't get an important bill due to, after me speaking to the mail lady, something mysterious happening to the mail truck. It was a bizarre conversation.

They're misdelivering our mail, and others' to us.
