I'm beginning to wonder
Feb 9, 2017 12:07PM PST

IF she has some "information" that wouldn't be good IF it got out....

It's not the first time she has been flapping her gums, yet she is still there.....

I thought TheRUMP was good at saying "YOU'RE FIRED"

Well, he DID fire the temp AG

and that's ONE more than BO did in all 8 years of corrupt agency heads and 'leakers'......Trump already beat BO's record.

RE: Well, he DID fire the temp AG
Feb 9, 2017 7:31PM PST

the temp AG?.....Yates, the Temporary AG that was appointed by President Barack Obama?. I'll bet he didn't enjoy that....

I'm waiting for TheRUMP to fire someone HE hired/appointed...Like Kellyanne Conway for shooting her mouth off, even more than TheRUMP does...OR Sean Spicer for being made fun of by a woman on SNL...You know...just cause to fire someone

YOU know, the most talented...best people that are going to advise HIM...THEN HE will make the decision....

On the travel ban...HE wanted to wait a month or at least a week before the rollout...the brains behind the outfit advised him not to wait....how did taking the "brains' advice work out for him on that decision?

The heads, with the "brains", should be rolling now....BUT they aren't.....

President Donald "it's the other guys fault" Trump?

Yates was fired for just cause
Feb 10, 2017 5:24AM PST

Her JOB is to represent the President of the USA....and it doesn't matter WHO that President is. She not only refused to but demanded that none of the Deputy AG's do it either. Just cause....and she was still on the TRUMP 'payroll' at the time.

As for the travel ban....give it day or two....a new one will be in place with a REAL AG in office now.

RE:Yates was fired for just cause
Feb 10, 2017 7:46AM PST

She not only refused to

When I refused to do what my boss told me...I considered that QUITTING/asking to be laid off. If I quit, I had to wait longer for Unemployment to kick in....so I'd get them to lay me off...

Do you think she could get "Pokey"

You remember all the rants you had about 10 years ago...about me just working long enough to collect unemployment...Those were the days...You got some riled up back then...

RE:As for the travel ban....give it day or two....a new one will be in place with a REAL AG in office now

A day or two? OK...I keep you updated on his progress or the lack of progress.(rub it in every second day)

No, JP....
Feb 11, 2017 7:33AM PST

When you refuse to do as your boss tells you, and you consider that to be quitting but waiting to be fired instead so you can collect unemployment, you are manipulating the system. However, when you not only refuse to do as you're told (and it's a legal demand and it's actually your JOB that you were HIRED to do) BUT you ALSO add sabotage to that refusal by telling the rest of your COWORKERS to ALSO not do it, you are outright fired for cause, which nullifies any unemployment benefits you THINK you are ENTITLED to.

As for the wait a day or two.....the announcement has already been made.

Response
Feb 11, 2017 11:06AM PST

She was TEMPORARY...So her lifespan as AG was limited...

RE:As for the wait a day or two.....the announcement has already been made.

and the timeline that TheRUMP announced IS?

Announcements, like tweets, are a dime a dozen....

Here's what I read from a link posted 20 minutes ago...got anything NEWER?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump says he might give his refugee and immigration travel ban a second try, either as a revision or as a new order, as he contends with an appeals court ruling that prevents the ban from being enforced.

He doesn't even know if they will revise or write a new order...Picking one or the other would be a good start...

Temporary means benefits
Feb 11, 2017 12:32PM PST

after you're gone.....FIRED means NADA.....I haven't even seen her on any liberal talk shows so I guess her 15 seconds of fame died a quick death without even THAT given to her. I guess she figured she would be a great heroine to the left....I guess she figured/calculated incorrectly.

Feb 11, 2017 1:00PM PST

the timeline of predicted events...I understand...Divert and deflect...as I predicted...

Day ONE on Repeal, Replace of Obamacare on DAY ONE is moved to 2018...

Have you attended any meetings to get details on TheRUMPs promises on replacing Obamacare?

Announcements/promises are a dime a dozen...

RE:I haven't even seen her on any liberal talk shows so I guess her 15 seconds of fame died a quick death without even THAT given to her. I guess she figured she would be a great heroine to the left....I guess she figured/calculated incorrectly.

THAT was YOUR prediction...so YOU were the one that was WRONG.

In my opinion she was quite willing to give a parting shot at TheRUMP and move on with her life...

Kind of hard to act on Day One
Feb 12, 2017 9:52AM PST

when the Senate Dems wouldn't allow the vote until a few days ago for the HHS head to be voted in......get a life, JP....your arguments are getting dimmer and dimmer and far less credible. Many of the 'laws' and 'mandates' written into Obamacare are under the control of the head of HHS and he wasn't there yet, thanks to your liberal friends obstructionism.

I thought the Republicans had "control"...They had control all right ...but they have NO PLAN.....So in the meantime...let's blame the other guy...

And he thought it would be a cakewalk?...He's 70 years old and still naive?

But it's pretty easy to PROMISE/THREATEN to act on day ONE....

Didn't he make "promises" with Trump University? Suckers?

Now HE promises...the taxpayer pays?

So the people that voted for him on THAT promise were naive/gullible?

Another possibility is TheRUMP haD no idea what he was getting himself into...The light has been turned on....Reality is kicking in....

He's the kinda' guy that doesn't like to lose face in private life....Living with him must be getting unbearable...Of course he has the DC White House to roam the hallways in his bathrobe all hours of the night...

And like I said before, Melania and the young one are "FREE AT LAST", at least for the weekdays during school....

Trump's supporters
Feb 12, 2017 3:13PM PST

naively believed the Dems would act professionally, like Republicans did for BO, and actually get Trump's cabinet in place as quickly as they did before. But Schumer decided immediately to go far left and stall votes (a three part process, btw) as long as possible to keep Trump from implementing his agenda quickly. And he publicly said he would do it before Trump even took the oath of Office. By this time during GWB, all of his cabinet was in place, with BO he had all but two, Trump still has eight left hanging. GWB and BO had 7 in place the same day they took the oath of Office...Trump had 2. Schumer has turned into another Harry Reid; however, no matter how long he keeps stalling, they don't have the votes to stop the cabinet....it'll just take longer than usual, and so will Trump's agenda. He has still accomplished more in less than three weeks than BO managed to do in the first four years. The train will keep rolling down the tracks, JP....and no Dem can stop it.

Not when it comes to Trump....only temporarily naïve when it came to 'fair play' from the Dems, and publicly the Dems are showing all of their true colors. Kiss 2018 goodbye for that party.........they are already 'eating their own', as you like to say.

Acting Attorney General Sally Yates fired by Donald Trump is nominated for John F Kennedy Courage Award

Democrat politician Jackie Speier has announced she has nominated Ms Yates for the Profile in Courage Award, which is presented in memory of former President John F Kennedy. The prize is described as “the nation’s most prestigious award for public servants”.

The award’s mission statement says: “The award recognizes a public official (or officials) at the federal, state or local level whose actions demonstrate the qualities of politically courageous leadership in the spirit of Profiles in Courage, President Kennedy’s 1957 Pulitzer prize-winning book, which recounts the stories of eight U.S. Senators who risked their careers by embracing unpopular positions for the greater good.”

Previous winners include George H. W. Bush (2014) and John McCain (1999).


a White House press officer wrote: “The acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, has betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States. This order was approved as to form and legality by the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel.

She wouldn't enforce a "legal order" that the Judges have RULED wasn't a "legal order"?

HERE COME THE JUDGE!!!!!...THE FINAL ARBITRATOR...

Feb 12, 2017 9:55AM PST

complete power/authorization over immigration and who gets into this country has been quoted many times.....the liberal courts didn't even MENTION that law in their decision.....because like BO they chose to ignore it. THEY'RE the ones who diverted and deflected in order to reach their decision, just like they usually do in a court that is the most overturned court in the country by SCOTUS, and they will be again. Those are the FACTS you refuse to understand because they don't meet your personal agenda...an agenda that has nothing to do with you anyhow.
