All the above appear to be directed at specific individuals who have been identified rather than to huge groups of unidentified individuals. That seems to make a big difference.
Trump Fires Acting Attorney General https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/us/politics/trump-immigration-ban-memo.html WASHINGTON — President Trump fired his acting attorney general on Monday after she defiantly refused to defend his immigration executive order, accusing the Democratic holdover of trying to obstruct his agenda for political reasons.
Well I see how this is going to end, badly. What's now happening goes beyond partisanship into the realm of the blatantly absurd.
Guess he didn't like her alternative laws. Question: Why hasn't Trump called the burning of the mosque in Texas a white, Christian terrorist attack yet? Coward pandering to a religion.
I've been in corporate and military environments most of my life, and I have seen countless managing directors and generals use the "resignation" tag to save face instead of being fired outright, it's basically a function of the upper crust in most executive situations. And everyone KNOWS they got fired. Probably to quietly remove someone who knows a lot of dirty dealings from power while buying their silence in the form of severance. Executives don't usually get fired unless they're going to prison shortly thereafter.
Very true and I'm sure it was a case of what you describe but CEOs don't usually spike the football in resign/fire scenarios with other executives
What took so long? As soon as I saw this afternoon that Yates had directed her staff not to attempt to defend the indefensible I knew she was gone. We'll see what the new lapdog gets accomplished.
Who resigned? Usually it's done to provide a smoother path going forward but in this case Sally Yates may be on a firmer footing by having been fired. Certainly the legal community needs those with a moral compass as well as a legal foundation.
...and her Trump chump replacement looks like that doofus on America's Test Kitchen. (Stokes or Charlie Kelly would know who I'm talking about).
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat..._s_muslim_ban_is_about_white_nationalism.html "Recall that the only public company Trump ever ran lost money every year he was in charge and went bankrupt twice—" http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...sador_pick_helped_trump_with_casino_debt.html "David Friedman, Donald Trump's soon-to-be ambassador to Israel, is getting a lot of attention Friday for having said that center-left American Jews who criticize the Israeli government are "far worse" than individuals who "turned in their fellow Jews in the Nazi death camps." And said attention is fair, because that's an awful thing to say. My goodness! But Friedman is also notable for another reason: He's the bankruptcy lawyer that helped Trump pull off one of his greatest large-scale deadbeat screw jobs. Here's the story. In 1995, a company called Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts went public on the New York Stock Exchange. Trump was its chairman and, beginning in 2000, its CEO. The company lost money every year of its existence and went bankrupt in 2004. Its total 1995–2004 losses: $647 million. When it went bankrupt, bondholders had to settle for less than what they were owed. Employees lost their jobs and contractors went unpaid. IPO investors who held on until the end ultimately lost 90 cents for every dollar invested. "Over the same period," a MarketWatch columnist noted, "investors in competitor Harrah’s Entertainment more than doubled their money. Investors in luxury hotel, casino and resort companies like Starwood and MGM earned returns of more than 400%. Even the plain old stock market index more than doubled." Someone made money off Trump Hotels, though: Donald Trump. His contract kept him well-compensated personally even as he burdened the company itself with unsustainable debt." Ron
Respond to what I said, not what you think I said and then maybe it will make sense to you. Probably not but worth a shot.
