look at who they voted for, and continue to support....shows shocking lack of thought and foresight....we are in a post fact world apparently...Daddy makes them feel safe and is going to take care of them by bringing us back to 1950...and he can plunder what he likes and throw us into kleptocracy all the while as long as he punishes the scary brown people...

I was good that she got fired, now she will not be blamed when this all backfires in trumps face.

Thin skinned dictators like Hitler and trump always get their way because their followers are afraid of them. Just like the majority of republicans in congress.

I hope dictator trumps keeps on firing people who disagree with him. That's what real leaders are supposed to do.

At a certain level of employment, people are not just fired because they are not a "yes" man/woman.
I would thing this is on a much larger scale.

I love all the constitutional law experts here who have no idea the actual role of the AG....
here's a hint- anytime something you do is compared to Nixon's action during the height of Watergate it = bad!!

The person I responded to says this stuff is what happens in the workplace. I responded with what you quoted - it doesn't happen often in the workplace. I'm pretty vocal at work and have frequently voiced my concerns to my superiors and have not had any negative reactions from them. That is all I was saying. It doesn't happen like this in the workplace like that poster think it does.

At any level of employment, if a an employee discovered the company was about to go down an illegal or dangerous path, the expectation is that they would inform someone so that appropriate action could be taken.

If you are working for the mafia, of course, this doesn't apply.

Not defending legal challenges is not breaking the law....

He fired her

You are making excuses for him firing her over a disagreement.

Obama and Trump are not the same person nor do they have the same management style. Who did Obama fire for not agreeing with him? Did he have conservatives working in his administration who were not fired? (FYI - he did).
She did not "just disagree" She defied a direct order from the President, she can disagree all she wants, but has no authority to do as she pleases, if she disagreed, the protocol is to resign, what did she think was gonna happen?

How is Trump like Hitler?

Maybe you can in detail go through the history of Hitler, his rise of the National Socialist Party and use various laws and actions he made that are similar to Trumps.

Please compare and contrast the two with solid supported premises and logically founded conclusions to make your point.


Oh, you mean you have no clue are are just parroting of words you have no understanding of?

Ok, carry on!
