First to be fired following the election?

edited November 2020 in Off-Topic
Leading Candidates:

1. Anthony Fauci - NIAID Director

2. Chris Wray - FBI Director

3. William Barr - Attorney General

Interesting Story re Wray

Comments

  • Probably Wray since the public doesn't have a strong opinion about him.
    Barr is interesting but who, with the exception of Giuliani would be more blindly loyal?
    Eventually Fauci if he doesn't retire after his transfer to a impotent position.
  • #! is Wray for holding onto Biden Jr. emails and laptop. Only the President ever seems to be investigated.

    No one will be fired because Biden will likely win. Many will leave as happens whenever a new President comes in. Biden Jr. Emails are a hoax, a scenario so implausible I'm surprised even Fox news buys it. Well, not really.

    Sure, the following(link) sounds pretty real to me(watch the whole thing from a man who did business with the Bidens and met Joe twice) while the Russia thing was a lie.

    FBI has a laptop says the opposite.
  • FBI has a laptop. Neither you nor I know what is on it or if what is on it is real or fake. The man who collected the laptop can't even tell if it was Joe's son who dropped it off. Worst case scenario, Biden's son has a problem. The hoax is trying to tie it to Biden.
  • @bilperk - stop being so factual and logical with your response. Gary doesn't understand those concepts.

    I wouldn't believe a word out of Tucker Carlson's mouth. Nobody but Hannity makes up more stuff. However, Trump's kids have done a ton of business in China. And they make millions around the world running a company still owned by Trump, which is illegal under the constitution. Did Tucker ever tell you that?

    As an "R" you will believe any story you are fed by Fox, and never believe facts that are negative about Trump. Not really news to me.

    It's really nice to have new folks like bilperk take over the vetting of right-wing bullshit disinformation here. Some of us old-timers are just plain worn out from carrying that burden for so many years.

    COUNT THE DAMNED VOTES!!!

    Thanks, @bilperk!

  • First One Here:

    "Late Friday afternoon, the White House fired Bonnie Glick, the Senate-confirmed deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, without any justification offered, making her the first senior Trump political appointee to be purged following the election. The move further cripples the $31 billion agency in the middle of a global pandemic and potentially during a presidential transition as well.

    Glick, a former career foreign service officer with decades of development experience, was confirmed as deputy administrator in January 2019. She was fired Friday because the White House would rather have its political allies in control of the agency than an establishment Republican with actual expertise and experience."
  • More to follow in the weeks ahead, for sure.

    If Trump follows through on his threat to fire Dr. Fauci, Biden should simply tell the good doctor to have a good vacation before he resumes his work. I can just imagine the frenzied throng of highly regarded well qualified doctors who would be fighting to take over Fauci's position for all of six weeks or so.
  • Doctors Laura,Ruth,Oz,Carson,Phil are all possibilities !

    Bill, it's pretty simple and one sided. This (link) says that Negative press coverage of President Trump has worsened. Since 2016, previous studies from analysts at the Media Research Center revealed that the coverage of Mr. Trump on major broadcast networks was 91% negative....Biden escaped any scrutiny of his left-wing policy positions, past job performance or character.
    BTW, FOX is the only balanced media. They have the news part and the opinion part which are very different while the other stations are far from balanced.

    I have been watching and listening to news for decades, including all the major media players and I have never seen 24/7 such a collaboration of the media, big tech and Dem politicians, mayors and Governors from day one making up stuff and opening so many fake investigations.

    While I voted for Clinton twice I'm sure none of you voted the for the other side regardless how bad is your candidate.

    But hey, it worked...and now we will get another bad president. At least it's going to be only one term and I hope the damage will be small. Obama was the worse president that I can remember.


  • The Washington Times: "Reliable Reporting. The Right Opinion"

    A total joke of a "newspaper", but for sure they are good with "The Right Opinion". As might be expected, they proudly carry garbage from "the Media Research Center"

    Indeed. Just another right-wing yapper. Sounds like, and about as believable as, a Chihuahua.

    "FOX is the only balanced media"

    Hilarious. At least you have a great sense of humor. Let's see now... if "FOX is the only balanced media" that means that The Washington Times and the "media Research Center" obviously aren't. Can't have it both ways.

  • fd1000 I've always voted for Democrats because the other party is against a government role in healthcare. I have an ACA health insurance policy and the other side filed a lawsuit to end the ACA which reached the Supreme Court. So, gee, why would I want to vote for the asshats trying to end ACA !

    @FD1000 : If it was 95% negative, it was due to Trump's actions and words. He is by far the worst President in modern history, the biggest liar, the least moral, and when you consider 600 people at least have died after attending his maskless rallies, he is also a mass murderer. As I said, you're are so stuck in "R" that you will excuse anything. The people won't. Obama is still more popular among voters than Trump ever was. What amazes me the most is that intelligent people can actually believe that there is a "24/7 such a collaboration of the media, big tech and Dem politicians, mayors and Governors from day one...:" without justification. Unlike you or me, all those people were painfully aware that he was neither up to the job or even really interested in doing the job.

    You all tried to paint Joe as having dementia, and when that didn't work you tried for commie socialist. You couldn't make either stick. Biden doesn't have any radical left-wing policies. Unlike the GOP and Trump, Biden actually has a platform and a set of written policies. Maybe you should read them and gain some understanding.

    Trump will continue to kill Americans with his COVID response behavior until he is gone in January.

    @Old_Joe - Is that photo from the old TV game show: Who Do You Trust? ?

    Nice word play too. It occurred to me he might be trying to line the military up behind him for ... “whatever“
  • William Barr who is a lap dog loyal to Trump and thus he is a keeper.

    Trump fired
    Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, the first woman to oversee the agency in charge of the nuclear stockpile. She was required to resign on Friday.

    Bonnie Glick, deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. She was replaced by acting Administrator John Barsa, who had run out of time for his more senior role under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.

    Neil Chatterjee, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. He was replaced as chairman, though he will remain at FERC, an independent agency, as a commissioner.
