Yep. Legally they couldn't fire him, and they prided themselves on following the law. Trump regime has no such qualms and breaks the law with impunity daily, knowing that it will take years for challenges to work their way through the court system, and then finally wind up at the corrupt Supreme Court which will take their side.
Except international law against genocide, occupation, and human rights violations.
Somehow MAGAs get anything they want, and Dems cant figure out how to get ANYTHING they want.
Biden couldn't fire DeJoy directly, but he appointed a majority of board directors who could fire him, and then they decided to not remove him. Choosing appointees who will carry out the presidents agenda is a primary responsibility, and Biden seriously blew it. Again. I understand why it didn't occur to him, he could barely remember his name, but he had a whole team which should have been picking up the slack, and they obviously failed.
And even if his administration can be excused for that bit of incompetence, he could have removed DeJoy "for cause," such as inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance, all of which he's been criminally guilty.
They had multiple LEGAL options do get rid of him, and MAGAs would have availed themselves of all of them, and then some, but Biden couldn't do the bare minimum of vetting his appointees for those who were committed to his agenda.
Dems are OBSSESSED with being more polite to corrupt treasonous genocidal pedophiles, than fulfilling their Constitutional responsibilities to their own voters, who are desperate for real action from their elected representatives.
Not to mention Merrick Garland. 😩
ANOTHER unforgivable sin of the Biden administration. Trump's treason unfolded completely in the open, as he announced, schemed, promoted, organized, and launched a violent Insurrection to overthrow the government and install himself as Dictator-For-Life. We watched every minute of it LIVE, from his first Save The Date announcement - "Will be wild!" It was the most open & shut case in legal history.
But Biden appointed the most feckless REPUBLICAN to be his Attorney General, who proceeded to dither and slow walk the case, giving Trump a two year head start to run out the clock, and if there was anyone who knows how to manipulate the court system, it's Trump. It's one of his few talents, all of which are criminal.
Trump will always be considered the Worst President in history, he's already earned it many times over, but Biden will be in the Bottom 10, for allowing Trump to regain power.
