What will it take to get Biden's nominations for the USPS Board of Governors confirmed? In other words can the GOP block the confirmations? I ask because it they can, they will.While DeJoy was gloating 'Get used to me' in hearing, Biden was engineering his ouster

In Wednesday's congressional hearing, U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy brought his usual brash, bullying self to the table, at one point snarling at Rep. Jim Cooper that he would be in this job for "a long time. Get used to me." Within an hour of that exchange, news broke that President Biden had been vetting nominees to fill vacancies on the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) board of governors, the board that has the power to fire DeJoy.
Within another few hours the nominees were identified: Anton Hajjar, former general counsel for the American Postal Workers Union; Amber McReynolds, chief executive officer of Vote at Home, a group that pushed mail-voting in the 2020 election; and Ron Stroman, a former deputy postmaster general who was on Biden's transition team. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki basically said DeJoy's days are soon to be over: "The Postal Service needs leadership that can and will do a better job."
I don’t think they need to be confirmed by the Senate
"The President does not have the power to remove the postmaster general. Only the Postal Service Board of Governors -- which is comprised of members nominated by the President and confirmed in the Senate -- has the power to do so, and DeJoy continues to have the support of the Trump-appointed board."
It’s a pandemic? I thought it was a democratic hoax.
Do you people even think about the shit you say? You think the president of the USA who is going to let the parliamentarian dictate the minimum wage is going to oust the postmaster general?
I remember hearing that this administration wasn’t going to fall for Republican obstructionism likethe Obama admin, but I see their cabinet isn’t even confirmed.
It must be lost on you that the party of slavers would be offended by a minimum wage hike. And then you say $10 as if labor wasn’t once was free.
Distractions. Can bomb a country thousands of miles away but will respect the parlemantarian. What a complicated fella.
Are you serious.
C'mon smh
When will the DOJ get rid of that dumb ass memo about indicting presidents?
When will the democrats get rid of the filibuster?
They passed all those corny bills last year and now silence. Will we get the reparations research bill?
To whom should we vote?Don't debate polls, vote!
I don’t believe I ever called Mitch The Grim Reaper. I always blamed The Parlementarian.
The truth is democrats are their own obstructionists.
Fuck are they planning on passing protect the trannies laws if they have no interest in signing it into law? Are they interested in stopping lynchings? Or is that all for show too?

Bye agent @xfactor
Yeah he is another agent that is in the investments thread like @blackpepper @HellBoy and @sammyjax but they’ve been getting killed this week so it has been great. I was glad to have been personally involved in the effort to wipe them out shorting $CCIV which I still haven’t closed.
Proof of your idiocy is on full display because you have absolutely no idea what investments I'm holding, my earnings loss or anything. You're just spouting completely made up bullshit and feel great about it. But, I give zero fucks what positions you're involved in. Close your legs if you want, or keep them open, wipe off, IDK!... @blackpepper @HellBoy and @sammyjax but they’ve been getting killed this week so it has been great. I was glad to have been personally involved in the effort to wipe them out shorting $CCIV which I still haven’t closed.

McConnell says he'll 'absolutely' support Trump in 2024 if he's the GOP nominee

(CNN)Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday he would "absolutely" support former President Donald Trump if he became the GOP presidential nominee in 2024, a notable commitment following his recent blistering critiques of the former President.
While McConnell maintained that the 2024 presidential election cycle would be a "wide-open race," when pressed by Fox News' Bret Baier about supporting Trump if he captured the Republican nomination, McConnell offered, "The nominee of the party? Absolutely."
The Kentucky Republican's comments come just weeks after he delivered a pointed rebuke of Trump on the Senate floor for fomenting the deadly US Capitol insurrection. Though McConnell voted to acquit Trump anyway, he called the former President's actions that preceded the riot "a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty."
"Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day," McConnell said as he suggested that the former President could be subject to criminal prosecution.
In response, Trump ripped McConnell in a lengthy statement, calling him "a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack."
"He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership," Trump said.

Still, McConnell's comments on Thursday underscore the political reality that Trump remains overwhelmingly popular and there is little desire to cast him aside or move on to a new generation of leaders now that he is out of office.
Even Republicans who have most frequently resisted and condemned Trump -- including the party's 2012 presidential nominee, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney -- acknowledge that he remains the GOP's center of gravity, positioned to remain the party's standard-bearer if he decides to run for president again in 2024.
"I'm pretty sure he will win the nomination," Romney said Tuesday in an interview with The New York Times. "I look at the polls and the polls show that, among the names being floated as potential contenders in 2024, if you put President Trump in there among Republicans, he wins in a landslide."
In the latest sign of the party's enduring embrace of the former President, Trump is set to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando on Sunday. He plans to address "the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement," a source familiar with Trump's plans previously told CNN.
Dump is going to destroy the GOP, Mitch playing nice but dump will end him first chance he gets as well as the rest of the GOP their just to power hungry to see it. History lesson Hitler and Stalin 1st thing they both did was get rid of the same people who helped them take over dictators don't share power
