Trump sacks acting AG

[robvalue]

OK America, did you remember to put a clause in somewhere that says, "The president can't just do whatever the fuck they want"?

Jesus. Good for her for standing up to this. He is a tyrant, and this is fucking scary.

The President is "God".  He holds your life in his hands and can take it at anytime.

She was essentially refusing to do her job, so it makes sense she was fired. But I respect her for standing up to the administration like that.

But her job as AG was to firstly advise the government on the legality of its orders prior to promulgation, which she wasn't allowed do. And then secondly to ensure the government committed no illegal acts.

She was a hold over from the Obama administration. It was just a matter of time before she would lose her job anyway when Trump's appointment took over as the actual AG. Anyway, good riddance, and to anything else connected to Obama.

So you're now crowing over a person fired for doing her legal duty. You are some piece of work.

and you're a pice of shit. You can stick your crow and your tazzycorn up your ass. Trump's the president and he was within his right to fire her. Good riddance.

As a president Trump has already proven he is a piece of shit.

[Mister Agenda]

Does anyone else think the administration is going overboard on executive orders precisely to smoke out anyone who would defy them so they can be fired and replaced?

Just because he can fire her doesn't mean he should have. What's your argument for why he should have?

Yup there trying to find anyone who will question trump to purge government of check and balances so they can carry out there fascist agenda without complication (all in the name of "jobs" and "security" where does that sound familiar)

This made me laugh.

No, I think he's seen how effective executive orders can be and has taken it to the next level. I think Trump understands that he hasn't really got many people on his side, having lost the popular vote, with a number of Republican officials openly against him. All the talk of how the Republicans control the government now just isn't true. Republicans control the House and Senate, Trump controls the Presidency. The Supreme Court is still split and for the most part will be even after Scalia's replacement.

Yup he can and we know why know the reason he did she would not blindly obey (tyrants don't like checks on there power)

Yup as I said he has no allies so  purge everyone who could be problematic and replace them with  drones and yes men

Of course Wyrd and A theist love this idea because functioning government gets in the way of there "jobs" and "security" again where have I seen that
