    They said they couldn't do it legally.

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/02/biden-cannot-fire-usps-louis-dejoy.html

    "Trying to force DeJoy out could lead to constitutional chaos."

    Imagine after 4 years of Trump saying something so silly.

    Progressives are furious that DeJoy has kept his post, but Biden’s hands are tied: While the president can fire other high-ranking executive officials at will, federal law bars the president from terminating the postmaster general under any circumstances. Biden can attempt to oust DeJoy indirectly, but that option is fraught with legal uncertainties, and certain to trigger Republican complaints of norm busting. Unless the president is willing to take a significant legal risk, DeJoy will remain in control for months or years to come.

    You mean legal risk like Trump? The guy you fuckfaces said for 4 years straight was going to be arrested at any moment. And then shifted to him being arrested on Inauguration Day. Now just act like that shit never happened. Now it's too much to ask a president to risk himself legally in order to do something the same article admits would be good and helpful? Fuck I hate these people.

    Let me help. Here's what you do. Grab your secret service and a few members of the world's largest military of which you solely have command. Walk your ass down to the Postmaster General's office and drag his ass out of there. If anyone tries to physically stop you, shoot them. Then when DeJoy tries to sue you, you ignore subpoenas. You claim you were acting completely within your authority. Then the media will spend all their time factchecking your pinocchios until they have to move on. If it goes to the Supreme Court you walk your ass over there and ask them with what army do they plan to stop you? Then you go back to the White House and just keep pretending you did nothing wrong. When you leave office nothing will happen because you were the president.

      Also, it's fucking hilarious that doing that one thing would be a victory for the Democratic party for decades. Biden wouldn't have to do anything else.

      "If you want to see more things like this, you need to donate to the DNC."

      Even better, let the Supreme Court rule that you are in the wrong, but refuse to give DeJoy her job back and dare the court to do something about it

      A service where we clutch pearls so hard they return to their constituent minerals.

      If Big Dick Lenin were somehow magically the president with nothing else changed, be like:

      Democrats will eat their own though, only republicans are loyal to power.
