I trust Biden and his administration and, no, I do not think he supports DeJoy or is nominating candidates to keep DeJoy in power.

Fair! This doesn't change the fact that he has nominated people who support DeJoy.

Did you take Kavanaugh and all the other Justices that voted to overturn Roe v Wade at face value when they claimed that it was settled law -- until they had a majority in place where they could overturn it, as everyone suspected they would all along?

I tend to take the word of Republicans and Democrats very differently; am I alone in this?

Biden has not had yet had a majority on the USPS

There's room for nine governors on the board. Two seats are empty. Biden has nominated five of the current seven governors. Trump did the other two.

Biden has nominated three Democrats to the Board -- and there's reason to believe at least two of them are very much anti-DeJoy, whereas I don't believe the third has said much one way or the other,

Could spell out this "reasons to believe"? It's up to the board to take action, and if they haven't and they're not getting pressure to do so, what do you suppose they're waiting for?
