So Sally Yates just became a hero/martyr against Trump. Probably a winning position for future public office honestly.
Idk, at this point maybe people should try and cling to their positions to prevent further damage.What would be better is for countless people in the Justice Department to stage a walkout, all resigning in protest of what Trump just did. That would be awesome.
This makes me more persuaded Trump's inner circle are power mad *and* incompetent instead of just power mad.He could've just let her go tomorrow with Sessions being confirmed and nothing would've happened
But nope, he had to tweet about it like a shitlord, appoint someone for a day, and have Bannon write him that fucking drivel
He literally just made the story way bigger by firing her. What an idiot LOL.
Good job Yates. You did the right thing for the right reasons. Donald Trump can go fuck himself.
Trump has done a ton of worrying and dangerous things but this is not one of them. Cabinet-level officials (and several ranks below them too) being replaced by an incoming President is the norm. An acting Cabinet official from the previous administration who refuses to cooperate with the new one (no matter how admirable or principled I may find that decision) is obviously not going to be kept on. Not that she would have been in that position for more than a few days anyway since her replacement will be confirmed by the Senate soon.
But it doesnt matter. Two weeks ago we had the hooker piss thing and look at where we are now. Its all moving so fast that none of this matters.
??? Defend the indefensible for a couple of more days until Sessions is confirmed and she is gone. Or make a statement and not defend that bullshit. She chose well.

A lot of hyperbole in this thread. It's the President's right to replace subordinates that won't carry out his directives. But kudos to her for going out in a blaze of righteous glory.
Be upset when Trump relieves the State dissenters.
So what shade of red will Sean Spicers eyes be when he has to tackle this issue

God damn the language used in this statement. Pathetic.
Bitch do I look like a time traveler
You're ignoring all of the context with this statement, really.
There is no precedent for this. The hyperbole is the release, not the responses on this board. Shit's getting real.A lot of hyperbole in this thread. It's the President's right to replace subordinates that won't carry out his directives. But kudos to her for going out in a blaze of righteous glory.

"Nothing is fucked? The plane has crashed into the goddamn mountain!"
I'm going to buy a history textbook in 2030, just to read and reflect on this embarrassing stretch of our country's history.

Feel free to elaborate.
Like I said, a lot of what Trump has done is genuinely worrying, including the stuff that Yates decided to stand up to him regarding. But the replacement of Cabinet officials is an entirely routine process and would have happened anyway. Arguing that it represents a breakdown in the functioning of our democratic institutions or makes Trump a dictator is not accurate.
I'll certainly agree that the language used in the press release is gross.
