This wouldn’t fly if you were the fry guy at McD’s — how is this acceptable for the leader of the damn company?
Peewee0413 — so we should give him a pass for not knowing *basic things* about his agency because he’s “new to the job” yet trust that he’s making good choices when he’s making some of the most massive and consequential changes to the agency in a generation? 🤔 How does that work, can you explain? If a maniac takes over as a clown for a kid’s birthday party and starts a knife-throwing competition for the first time ever, we shouldn’t cut him slack just because he’s “new” to the job. He should have been QUALIFIED for the job with EXPERIENCE in the first place, and INTIMATE knowledge of everything possible about the organization — yes including the most *_basic_* things any worker on the ground could tell you.
@Demeter ! Agreed — and on top of his inexperience, DeJoy also demonstrated one of Trump’s own worst flaws: a refusal and/or inability to solicit and accept input and guidance from those who *do* have solid experience with the work at hand. Enough of those who rely on their gut, for pete’s sake!
Poes Law — a Board of Governors who were… wait for it… *Trump appointees.* If you think Trump didn’t specifically push for DeJoy to be appointed, you clearly have learned nothing about this administration.

@Demeter ! This
@Demeter ! Dude these clowns will never get it…
*Katie Porter does it again. She’s amazing.*
We all need to be more like her.
Trump’s Trick is no longer work , Americans only believe in God , not Crook.
Katie and these Dem. lawmakers haven’t licked a stamp in 10 years and don’t know crap about the post office .
@Jina Ringhofer EXACTLY!
What a fool. America is been run by con men.
When the right complains about the elite they need to check their own house.
They are definitely corrupt.
Wig Cap, You’re right. America is being run by con men. But, in November the STUPID people of America will vote for Trump and we’ll have four more years of the same.
Trump’s Trick is no longer work , Americans only believe in God , not Crook.
Couldn’t agree with you more? He does not know who ordered changes in the organisation he heads, what a fool indeed.
Katie Porter, as usual did a great job, DeJoy is incompetent, destructive and has conflicts of interest. He must be removed immediately, along with the board, and indicted.
Seriously four comments?
You’re 100% correct.
Trump’s Trick is no longer work , Americans only believe in God , not Crook.
This is one of Dopey Donny’s “best people.” I wonder how many felonies this one will accrue during his time in the administration.
At least 2 so far.
This is the reason dummy republicans don’t like well educated women.
What did Obama say about the post office?🤔 but now you just have selective amnesia. Ok.
Muscadins/incroyables of America will inevitably give you regressives your constitutions. Just wait. The pendulum swings both ways and it’s about at its pinnacle toward the left now I say.
@Joe Trader Hey sheep, your shepherd’s got some clorox tablets waiting for you over there. Go ahead and get your medication while listening to more baseless “facts” you are spouting and hope you continue to live this wonderful dream life you are clearly enjoying! 🙂
Mag Launcher sheep? This from a cnn viewer? 😂🤣
Mag Launcher how’d that nick sandman case go for cnn? Oh yeah that’s right 😂🤣🖕🏼. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And this guy is the Postmaster General of the USPS. What a clown.
Considering the first post master general was Benjamin Franklin
The contrast is striking
Yup! Another clown appointed by the Head Clown in the WH!!!
We love Katie Porter here in California. She’s one of the few politicians that actually fights, and works for her constituents.
No, she’s not one of the few. She’s one of the many. Funny how you can be so supportive of a politician AND so cynical of politics in the same breath.
He just lied to the oversight committee when he denied ordering the sabotage of sorting machines. Isn´t that a felony too, like the sabotage itself?
He says he did not order the removal of the machines.
He says the machines are not needed.
He says he won’t put the machines back (without federal fundind to do so).
He only agreed to do that because he doesn’t believe Congress will appro_e the funding.
It’s his job to know who ordered the dismantling of equipment, the removal of post boxes and anything else.
He knows- it is the orange baboon who pretends he is president!
He knows almost as much about the post office than trump knows about the presidential office.
Phaedra Degreef she should of interviewed a postal worker if she wanted to know the postage rates for packages. I use a special chart and scale to determine the correct postage for packages. I couldn’t tell you what the different rates are. I just know they are different.
@bngr bngr Hes the postmaster general and has headed shipping logistics companies for decades. This should a piece of cake if he actually fucked with the logistics.
TooMuchWubWub I doubt he is aware of the minutia of his previous companies. I work in Telecom, my boss has a general understanding of Telecom but he can’t program new phone numbers nor how to trouble shoot user profiles. He doesn’t need that to do his job.
He knows trucks need to run on schedule.
Beyond that he seems absolutely clueless.
TooMuchWubWub what was the highest level of management you held and for how big of a company? A lot of ignorance when someone doesn’t actually run big business
I hope Katie Porter never gets voted out of office. Her questioning is the most entertaining of House members.
her take down on Ben Carson. priceless 👌
Trump’s Trick is no longer work , Americans only believe in God , not Crook.
@microcontroller555 I don’t even believe in god, much less a crook!
I don’t always agree with Porter’s politics, but she is smart. Don’t mess with her.
Ikr. She’s even MY representative. She’s such a good questioner 😂
He is way over his head ; he does not care about the post office at all….
Post master chicken $ _it General. He’s not a General or a man . Plenty of layers of people between DeJoy and the creep that ordered him to destroy the post office. That creep was the mafia boss D J tRump. Ordered VIA several trump’s BROWN NOSE, LIERS.
The person that ordered the destruction of the USPS is DJ tRump. RIGHT OUT OF THE Mafia play book so DeJoy could say tRump did not order him to do it.
Thats a lot of “I dont knows” for someone whose job is supposed to be to know
Post Master General: “I do not know”.
Trump: “YOU’RE HIRED!”
Wait!! Donald only hires the best people. Right? Well thats what he claimed.
@Primo VonBron there’s a difference on fund donor
Sounds about right LOL
This Down To Earth Woman Would Make A fantastic President
@CARD COUNTER no doubt about that it would be an excellent watch
His self-righteous chuckle is pissing me off.
Same here. What is so funny to him?
His laughing is a defense response to his embarrassment for not knowing the answers.
Why is he getting paid? He doesn’t seem to know anything.
@Klaus Van Heusen The postal service is not meant to generate revenue. It is a service. One of the reasons it is so inefficient, however, is because of a Bush era policy. Republicans fucked it up, nice try to deflect though.
@bngr bngr My family owns a few businesses. Each of the people who owns a business knows every single aspect of that business and how to perform every job. Most bosses whomare effective actually know what they’re doing. You are just a horrible sycophant. You’re literally saying that you would prefer a boss who knows less about the business he runs than one who knows more.
Christopher Parks it might be true for a small business. Large businesses are not run that way. They might be aware what happens in each department but they don’t know how to do the individual positions. I can guarantee you that my CEO does not know how to run our telecom system. There is no need for the CEO to know how to do that. They need to worry about the over all strategy of the company and not be stuck in the minutiae of people’s individual job. I would say your family should delegate more of the every day function of your business and concentrate on the overall strategy of your company.
Trump’s Trick is no longer work , Americans only believe in God , not Crook.
Klaus Van Heusen You’re lying.
“I’m glad you know the price of a stamp” 😂🤣 She threw him some serious shade. 🤣 Katy Porter is Amazing. Tampering with the Post office is a Federal Crime. What happened to “no one is above the law”?
She just took his manhood. The little that he did have.
