Funny how this shithead survived a Biden term, yet Trump was just booting everybody and anybody day 1.

Trump fires everyone he wants on day one of his first term, because there's nothing to stop him no matter how stupid the pics are
Biden keeps some of them across his entire term, because of vague rules that only he can abide by, for some reason. Even when everyone would love him to remove the evil bastards and would look good for polling.

Always weird how the rules are only in place for anything that would benefit the public but aren't there for "I made this EO that personally shoots every kitten in America".

Biden is a cuck

I mean, when you don't give a shit about whether your actions have any basis in legality at all, you can do whatever you want and leave it to others to try and clean up after your decision.

I'm pretty sure that the excellently named beermeister was referring to the fact that Biden DIDN'T do his job of cleaning up the radioactive sludge that is DeJoy being in charge of the USPS.

He had the power to do so legally, but CHOSE not to for 4 years.
