Louis DeJoy, a Republican fundraiser who was appointed Posmaster General in a successful conspiracy to cripple the postal service in a voter-suppression effort, sucks at his job.
He sucks at his job so much that he has been the Postmaster General for a month, and he doesn’t know incredibly basic aspects of the postal service, such as the price of mailing a postcard.
This was illustrated as he was interviewed by the House Oversight Committee. “I know very little about postage stamps”, he said at the hearing. He also cannot say within ‘the ballpark of ten million people’ how many Americans vote by mail.
So, he knows nothing about the micro or macro aspects of his job. This would be like being the head of the Transportation Security Administration having zero clue how many millions of people travel in America or how much a Squirt costs at the LAX Hudson Books, give or take one thousand dollars.
This would make you real shitty at your job, by design, or just by virtue of you being a fucking idiot. DeJoy also managed to perjure himself several times, as documents have already come forth, with his signature on them, that directly contradict his testimony.
DeJoy is a dick. He illegally owns millions in competing USPS stock.
It’s tough to tell how many of these crony bureaucrats have actual principles versus how many of them are large-scale arsonists who happen to play golf.
DeJoy sucks at his job because that is the entire point.
Republicans purport to have a strong opposition to government, which makes their entire existence complete bullshit because they are a major political party within the government.
They don’t actually oppose government. They oppose entities of the government which prevent them from lawlessly committing fraud against American citizens and reaping billions or trillions of dollars in benefits.
Their solution, utilized since the Reagan administration, has been to appoint people, who purposefully suck at their jobs, to positions of power, rendering the corresponding arm of government more impotent.
They then, often without a since of irony, have the nerve to call people on the left “anarchists” and “radicals”, and minorities “lazy”, when they in fact encompass all of these attributes more so than any staunch communist.
There are countless examples of their tactic. Andrew Wheeler, who heads the Environmental Protection Agency, doesn’t believe in climate change or environmentalism of any kind – making him a counterproductive choice for the job.
He replaced Scott Pruitt, another Republican, who also didn’t believe in climate change and had previously sued this very agency fourteen times for attempting to limit pollution from the fossil fuel industry – its general purpose for existing.
John Bolton, a former Ambassador to the United Nations, routinely and openly stated he didn’t believe that the United Nations should exist.
Rick Perry, Trump’s Texan ass-clown appointee to head the Department of Energy, similarly stated that he didn’t believe this very department should exist. Betsy DuVos, the Secretary of Education, wants to drastically cut funding for education.
A reasonable person might ask these people and their associates, why the fuck do you have this job then? Clearly you’re unqualified.
It’s difficult enough for a productive member of society to get a job that they are qualified for, and plan on actually doing to the best of their abilities.
These fuckers can get high paying jobs that they have no plan on actually doing. Clearly their privilege has run amok.
Their careers and lives are utter contradictions. It should be duly noted that in order to accomplish their goal of eliminating the government while simultaneously occupying high offices in the government, they must act smugly because admitting their intentions would cause widespread uproar and usually constitute several legal violations.
Of course, all Republicans, civilian or not, are flag-waving hypocrites who are supporters of Jesus Christ as well as the death penalty, and of freedom and putting more people in prison.
Their bullshit is as transparent as the single-pained glass on their mobile homes and McMansions.
Members of the alt-right or fond of referring to anyone who doesn’t support Donald Trump as a cuck – meaning someone who likes watching other men have sex with their wife. As it came out today Jerry Falwell Jr, the Evangelical Christian Trump fanatic, is one of the few documented cases of this behavior. If this surprises you, it shouldn’t, you’re a Republican dork and want to watch your wife fuck Hulk Hogan.
Here is how you can verify that Republicans are complete assholes, my Republican readers:
Imagine that the gas company overcharged you on your bill by one hundred dollars. When you call the gas company to complain about this, the person on the other end of the line then explains to you that they cannot help you because they do not believe that their job should exist; yet they are currently getting paid handsomly for it, and that your rich neighbor who built his house in front of yours and destroyed your view of the fracking well gave them this job for the very reason that they do not feel like doing it.
This would piss you off dramatically. Hence, you should be pissed at every Republican appointee.
