The Swamp: Post Office Edition

The post office employs 600,000 Americans and is the 2nd largest employer in the country. Congress approved $10 billion to help with additional costs for the postal service in connection with the coronavirus epidemic. The Treasury department is using the $10 billion as leverage to force the postal service to charge Amazon more for shipping and to force concessions from the union that represents postal workers.

As usual, John Oliver summarizes it nicely:
 
Eventually, we're going to get to the bottom of who it is at the White House that is tinkering with people who alerted the White House to the issues with the coronavirus fuckups. They keep "reassigning" these people so that they're still executive branch employees to keep them quiet about what they know. And it's always some campaign donor or Pence crony that seems to be appointed to replace them.

Pentagon fires its point person for Defense Production Act [Politico]
Jennifer Santos, the Pentagon’s industrial policy chief who oversees efforts to ramp up production of masks and other equipment to help fight Covid-19, was fired from her job this week and will move to a position in the Navy, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Santos took over the job of deputy assistant secretary of defense for industrial policy in June 2019 after her predecessor, Eric Chewning, was tapped to serve as chief of staff to then-acting Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan. Since March, Santos has focused on using the Defense Production Act to partner with industry to bolster the nation’s supply of critical medical equipment such as ventilators, personal protective gear and testing materials needed to counter the coronavirus pandemic...

The White House has recently tried to assert more control over Pentagon hiring processes, shooting down Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s picks for certain jobs and installing Michael Cutrone, Vice President Mike Pence’s top national security aide for South Asia, in the department to vet officials’ loyalty to the president.

Of course the little stuff like using department workers as valets and the help is bad enough on its own, showing a corruption of the public service ethos. But yeah the gist of the IG's concerns most likely were far more targeted on Pompeo's Saudi malfeasance. It's rich that Trump constantly refers to the Obama administration as incompetent and corrupt, when it is himself and his own administration that truly embody those sins.

^^It's interesting that Esper has now come out and stated that he was unaware that he would be part of the photo opp. He's also departed from the Donald's support of the Insurrection Act

The guys in uniform that actually run the military told him, "We're not comfortable" which means "No" in military speak. Even if he is a civilian now, Esper doesn't want a max exodus of leadership on his watch.
 
In before he's fired.

Esper has basically signed his own [STRIKE]resignation[/STRIKE] firing letter by disagreeing publicly with Trump.
 
POS Uncle Tom Kapo Richard Grenell has resigned.

Surprising since he has remained a suck-up right to the end. So it wasn't indignation over TrumpCo's mishandling of everything.

Today I officially resigned from the State Department. And President Trump presented me with a going away gift - my Cabinet Chair. “Acting” Cabinet Secretaries do not get chairs but President Trump wanted me to have mine because, as he said, “You are the First Openly Gay Cabinet Secretary and it’s a big deal.”

I wouldn't be half surprised that Merkel finally told him that Germany was sick and tired of his shit and wouldn't deal with him anymore.

He probably also is getting the message that Trump is likely to lose in november and is running for the exits.

U.S. Foreign Aid Agency Defends Political Appointees Who Wrote Anti-LGBT, Anti-Islam Posts [ProPublica]

The statement from acting administrator John Barsa comes after ProPublica reported that Merritt Corrigan, who has condemned the “tyrannical LGBT agenda,” was appointed as USAID’s new deputy White House liaison.

The top official at the U.S. foreign aid agency defended three political appointees whose past social media posts and writings include attacks on LGBT people and Muslims, saying they were “committed to enacting the policies of President Donald J. Trump.”

ProPublica reported on Friday that Merritt Corrigan had recently taken up a prominent position at the U.S. Agency for International Development. Corrigan has a history of online posts denouncing liberal democracy and feminism, and she has said the United States is in the clutches of a “homo-empire” pushing a “tyrannical LGBT agenda.”

News of Corrigan’s appointment as deputy White House liaison sparked outrage among current and former USAID officials, as well as congressional inquiries and an online petition calling for her firing.

In addition, ProPublica reported that Bethany Kozma, previously an anti-transgender activist who wrote in 2016 that transgender girls are boys “claiming gender confusion,” had taken a new position as USAID’s deputy chief of staff. And The Washington Post reported last month that Mark Kevin Lloyd, a Tea Party activist with a history of making and sharing anti-Islamic comments on his personal social media profiles, would be the agency’s new religious freedom adviser.

Still in before Esper's firing.

I suspect that Trump has been told he can't fire yet another Secretary of Defense so close to the election....although I can't see that stopping him...and replacing him with a security guard from Trump Tower.

Trump reportedly wanted to fire his defense secretary after he broke with the president over sending combat troops to subdue protests

The foolish digging in over renaming Southern military bases is opening the rift wider between Trump and Esper. Esper has publicly said he is open to it. Trump put out a pissy statement about not allowing it.

I guess no one has told Trump that the Services have been integrated for 70 years. If only he wouldn't have had those bone spurs, he might have known that.

And I guess no one told him that the military names its own bases with local input and the politicians aren't asked for their opinion on the matter.
 
In before another firing.

Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. said during a pre-recorded speech released on Thursday that he regrets accompanying Trump on a walk from the White House to St. John's Church last week where he was photographed wearing his combat uniform and moving with the President's entourage through Lafayette Square.

We've gone from them remaining silent through all of his grotesque mishandling of foreign affairs and misuse of the military to finally having the top brass openly apologizing.

So my guess is that Milley will be exiled from the Oval Office at the very least and more likely fired in all but name after basically disagreeing with an act of his Commander in Chief.

At least Milley thought about resigning his post.

According to the Defense officials, Milley reportedly "spent hours" the same night pouring over criticism of his appearance in the group with Trump and others and wearing his military uniform while doing so. Officials told NBC that he spoke with "several confidantes" about whether or not to resign from his post.

While I think he should have on one hand....on the other, if he is going to be one of the last adults in the room ...probably better that he remains in place instead of being replaced by some Blackwater flunky.
