“The position is selected by the Board of Governors of the Postal Service, whose members are appointed by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate. They serve seven year terms.”
“Oh but I couldn’t do anything about it!” is the modern Democratic battle cry.
Just look at the fucking Gaza Genocide. Biden dithers for 13 months on a deal that’s nearly identical to the one Trump inevitably prompted. Trump immediately gets what he wants by putting the slightest pressure on Netanyahu, because he recognizes that this conflict is holding up initiatives his party wants (namely Saudi recognition of Israel into the Middle Eastern trading cartels).
All those people screaming about how “Trump Will Be Worse! You stupid Palestinian Midwesterners deserve the genocide your families will get for not supporting Haris!” and the bombs stop the day Trump takes office. How are these people going to respond to the next Democrat who runs for office, I wonder?
And the next Democratic president will keep 75% of the partisan hacks Trump installs “because we don’t want to be divisive”.
See Louis DeJoy, who is still fucking there!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden was OK with killing off the Post Office. He was certainly no friend of Social Security when he was a legislator.
Bold of you to assume there will be another democratic president.
Not as easy as simply in firing DeJoy, but at this point we need an army of Luigis to turn the screws where the law won’t allow it.
Also, ignore the fucking law because the President is King!
The people who could remove DeJoy are appointed by the President and the President could tell them “Get him gone.”

It’s been 13 months. Netanyahu has achieved his war aims. He’s conceding nothing. Trump is just taking credit for nothing.
The Saudis and the Israelis are already in a de facto alliance, since both are opposed for their own reasons to the emergence of Arab democracy.
