But you agreed — in Tangerine 1.0’s time — that Trump could not “fire” Mr. Mueller.
How quickly you’ve forgotten… your principles — whatever those once were.
This morning, in trying to shill for Tangerine 2.0’s largely impotent attempts at taking actions that require the Congress to pass new laws (and ones they haven’t even considered), Paul claims all this is like simple corporate down-sizing. As to the able Assistant US Attorneys let go… this was pure vindictive reprisal for pursuing the actual felonies Trump committed — at least 34 of them still stand under NY State law — as completed felonies. He’s a felon — and he’s tried to fire anyone who called him on it. [BTW, you yourself in 2020 said his classified document-stealing offenses were clearly beyond the pale. Damn, son. Own your own prior statements.] Moreover…
I offer three points: one — downsizing is tough, even in private industry where workers have unions. There are unions a go-go, in the federal sector. These NLRA creates statutory rights that Trump is powerless to undo, acting alone.
Two, most civil servants may — by contract — only be let go for well documented, written cause. And they usually are entitled to an internal, individualized hearing of some sort before being let go — also by statute, in most cases. None of that has happened here.
And… three, most important, of the bunch: most if not all of these firings are simply misplaced personal animus. Trump is angry with ever person and branch he’s targeted, lawlessly.
That is the purest definition of “capricious“. His complaints are based on his cult of personality / reality distortion bubble.
And you feed it with yours.
You sir, are a feckless… putz. And he is an impotent lil’ tyrant — in orange face-paint.
