  3. “McCormick was incensed that DeJoy gave himself an “A” for on-time delivery.

    “You can’t give yourself an “A” McCormick chided him.

    “I just did,” DeJoy responded.

    “You can’t grade your own paper sir,” McCormick shot back. “You are graded by the United States people and they don’t use your service anymore.”

    After the Georgia lawmaker blamed DeJoy for bankrupting the postal system, the Postmaster General tried to shift the blame to Congress.

    “I’m trying to fix the postal service,” DeJoy forcefully said.

    When McCormick continued his attack, DeJoy blurted out, “You’re talking to yourself” and put his hand up to his ears as if to block the criticism.

    McCormick mockingly reacted, “I hope you got that on camera. This is the response that the postmaster just gave Congress when he doesn’t like what he hears, literally covered his ears and gave himself the grade of A.”

    Earlier in the hearing DeJoy said he has been working to turn around the postal service but “I can’t do this by myself.””

  4. Why Biden didnt pull the strings to get Dejoy out I will never understand. And I understand the board menber thing.

  5. USPS is not a business, you’d expect senators to know this.

  6. This is always the Republican plan. Say it’s broken so you can privatize it and let all your buddies run it and make money from it.

  8. That dudes a thug’s thug. His whole job is to shut it down. Turns out it’s a life long position.

  9. Jesus fucking christ. This trumpling is another nail in the coffin of America’s greatness.

    From Ben Franklin to *”La la la, I can’t hear you!”*

  12. Trump’s season 1 toadies clashing with the season 2 toadies.

  15. Remember, the Postal Service is a service provided to us. Just like the military.

  16. The GOP is just a clown car. Anyone with any redeeming qualities is long gone.

  21. Can’t wait for more Trump picks to speed run the collapse of the republic. The American people deserve Trump and his circus.

  22. The postmaster 100% ruined the postal service. They used to be solid before him.

  23. How old is this guy exactly? My 6 year old doesn’t even act this childish

  24. Rep. McCormick, Post Master DeJoy, and Trump.

    See no evil, hear no evil, and **evil.**

  25. What the hell kind of behavior is that? You might be a postmaster but you’re also a general!

  27. I believe postal workers are the largest union group in the United States (I could be wrong, correct me if you know) and this is one of the reasons the Republicans want it to go down. Then It can be sold off to the likes of UPS, Fed Ex, DHL or ?

  28. Just look at these fvcking jerks wasting this country’s money and time.

  29. DeJoy was placed to wreck the USPS and fuck with the election.

    He immediately started removing sorting machines, and literally tossing them out into the trash, to slow everything down.

    I remember some state governments forcing sweeping checks through the sorting centers to look for missing ballots. It was a cluster-fuck.

    I was stressed by all of his appointees during his first term. They were the initial push to see what he could get away with. I’m terrified with this terms picks… absolutely terrified.

  30. The GOP cycle:

    Step 1) find opportunity to scam/dismantle a system

    Step 2) install incompetent “leaders” that only obstruct/destroy

    Step 3) point fingers at how “broken” said system is

    Step 4) Brainwash gullible voters to believe it’s broken <—we are here

    Step 5) Call for privatization of said system

    Step 6) Milk as much money as possible when the system inevitably goes private.

  31. They behave like children, no professionalism anymore

  32. crazy embarrassing for a politician to say. because whenever the same POST OFFICE workers come to my building, some neighbors strike up conversations with them and chat while they put the mail in the boxes. They’re regular around here and we’re grateful for their hard work.

    Who the fuck do they think delivers their mail? EVERYONE i know uses the postal service. who are all these people he is talking about?

  34. The purpose of the USPS is NOT to run a profit. It’s to provide mail service to everywhere in the US, especially the many unprofitable routes that will never be adequately served by private business.

  35. DeJoy and McCormick are both fucking awful. McCormick claiming the American people don’t use the USPS is wild. It’s still the better service compared to the private ones, and is widely used.
