DeJoy...... In May 2020, former logistics CEO and Trump donor Louis DeJoy was named Postmaster General. The hiring was criticized from the start as a conflict of interest on two different fronts: Not only was DeJoy seen as a Trump loyalist, but he also had millions invested in USPS competitors or contractors, the very companies that would most benefit should the post office become another federal institution stripped and sold for parts to the profiteers.

Not only that .....

DeJoy, a major GOP donor, is the first postmaster in 20 years with no experience at the agency. He previously owned a logistics business that was a longtime Postal Service contractor.

It's time elected officals be stripped of their authority to hire and/or appoint anyone. Not be allowed to harass nor fire.

How about job applications being run through an HR process.

Just thinking...
 

  1. If I am a current government employee and have a security clearance, do I need to be re-cleared?

    Specific security clearance guidelines may differ depending on a candidate’s current position and a newly proposed job. Whether you have a clearance or not, you will still need to submit a new SF 86. The information must be current and up-to-date when seeking a new position. The SF 86 is over 100 pages, so it is important to review the form early.

  2. Which foreign contacts should I include on my forms?

    The SF 86 asks candidates to disclose “close and/or continuing contact” with foreign contacts within the last seven years. The form specifies that the candidate should list any foreign contact that they, their spouse, or legally recognized civil union/domestic partner, or cohabitant is “bound by affection, influence, common interests, and/or obligation.” Candidates should also include associates as well as relatives not previously listed in Section 18 of the form.

    It is not necessary to disclose the names of foreign individuals with whom you do not have continuing contact. When in doubt, always choose to disclose more information than less information.

  3. When is it appropriate to get a private advisor for consultation? If I can self-file my taxes, is a private advisor still necessary?

    In most cases, people have hired private lawyers when they have complex finances. If you are having difficulty completing the financial disclosure form, you may consider consulting with your accountant or possibly hiring a lawyer to assist you. If you have limited assets and are able to easily fill out the form, you may not require a lawyer. In fact, most people will not need legal assistance when completing financial disclosure forms.

  4. How long is the average Senate confirmation process?

    The length of the average Senate confirmation process was 112 days during the Obama administration and 115 days during the Trump administration. The process takes more than twice as long today as it did during the Reagan administration.
 
It would never fly, Democrats could not support a policy that would deny them a chance milk their appointment of a person who is (insert special interest)

I never claimed they wouldn’t. That is why your plan has no chance of success it could be one of the few things that would bring bipartisan support in its opposition.

Let's just talk about the 1st. Being a Trump loyalist. My lord, the majority of Presidential appointments are Loyalist. That's nothing new. As for having investment interest with the government, well, once again if you go looking you will find many in the government have those.

I would have to say the majority in Congress have a conflict of interest. For example look at Pelosi who's husband made millions in purchasing the right stock. You don't think they talk?

What would Nancy have told him? He bought calls. The legislative actions should have caused the stocks to go down. Your example doesn't make any sense.
I don't know, Nancy won's say what she told her husband.
What stock are you talking about? What legislative actions are you talking about?

Did you? again, which stock are you talking about, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, NVIDA or Microsoft? What legislative actions didn't effect or effected these companies? I guess Mr. Pelosi is really smart or real lucky. Which is it?

If you had read the article you posted, you wouldn't be asking these questions.
