Summary:
Louis DeJoy has resigned as postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) amid uncertainty about the agency’s future under President Trump.
DeJoy had notified the USPS board of directors in February that it was “time for them to begin the process of identifying his successor.” His resignation on Monday expedites that process and leaves Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino in charge until a permanent replacement is found.
“While our management team and the men and women of the Postal Service have established the path toward financial sustainability and high operating performance – and we have instituted enormous beneficial change to what had been an adrift and moribund organization – much work remains that is necessary to change our positive trajectory,” DeJoy said in a statement first reported by Reuters.
DeJoy had served as Postmaster General since May 2020. He previously donated to GOP political campaigns.
It does seem ludicrous, but would Biden doing things illegally be better? Everything Trump has done goes against the very principle of the country, so he’s not the benchmark we need, even though he’s “accomplishing” so much more by doing it wrongly.
Presidents were above the law for the final year of Biden’s term.
He chose to do nothing.
Everyone says this, but it was dependent upon the SCROTUS determining that it was an “official act.” Guess how many things a Democrat did would be decided to be an official act by them?
Everything. It wasn’t up to them. According to their ruling it’s up to the prosecutor or movant, without being able to subpoena any involved, to prove anything a president does is not an official act.
Since that’s an impossible bar to clear with clear scotus ruling, every judge must dismiss, prejudicially, any charge against a president without the president doing anything.
Surely there’s a middle ground between “laws don’t matter” and “it’s too bad we can’t do anything at all”. Dems don’t even pretend to try.
