In reply to the discussion: So DeJoy cannot be removed by Biden? [View all]maxrandb
(17,534 posts)29. Exactly!
I have no patience for folks saying Biden is "hamstrung", or "can't do anything about it".
It's the media's way of trying to make Democrats seem feckless and weak.
I don't care what it takes.
Summon him to appear in the White House every fucking morning at 6AM to provide an update brief.
Cut his salary to $1 per year.
Deny him of staff.
Cut his travel budget to zero.
Move his office to Anchorage.
This position is a "take whatever steps are necessary" position.
I have a feeling Bidens AG is going to be so far up DeJoys as with a flashlight, he'll be able to see Donnie Dipshits puny scrotum.
This guy MUST be gone!
He may find it's hard to sabotage the postal service from Federal Prison.

I'm willing to bet that there are ways to do it if people are willing to think outside the box.
