    “Welp, my work here is done.” wipes palms and walks away

    He did as much damage as he could while Trump was out of office and is now ready to hand over the reigns to someone worse.

      “Completely tried sabotaging mail-in ballots, slowed things down, didn’t pay attention to the intimidation that postmen have dealt with, mail got trashed and I didn’t care for that either. Now that I ensured my master has gotten another term, I’ve done did a good job!”

    At first it’s like “Yay! Fucking finally”

    Then you realize it’s another Trump Administration and now it’s like “Well…fuck, they’ll just find someone shittier and kill the USPS for good now”

        This is what I fully expect. It is a sad state of affairs that I have to ask, “Are you serious this is what’s happening or is this your prediction?”

      Which is interesting because Biden had the majority seats on the postal board last year. He could have removed DeJoy and appointed his own ten year postmaster. But no.

      Nah, he knows the postal service can now just be shut down, Constitution be damned. He did his job and burned down his competition.

      What next president? You really believe there will be any?

      But with that in mind:

      Next dem president should.take pages from 2025. Just do whatever the frack you want to do. Fire ALL and everyone that was hired during Trump’s admin, start from scratch.

      They’ll have to rewrite all software as well as Elmo’s grubby fingers have tainted all the current systems

    F’d up thing is despite this guy being a tool he actually thought he could improve the USPS. Now he’s out and we’re gonna get someone worse.

      His DFA plan is only partially implemented… What happens when the next PMG decides they like air mail again.
