Trump needs to fire more of these unelected bureaucrat hacks!!!

To some extent, it's like when I was in the military. I was under a duty to obey lawful orders. I was also under a duty to not obey an unlawful order.
I not only could, but had a duty to, disobey what I considered to be an unlawful order.
And I'd better hope like hell that it was determined to be an unlawful order. My dingle-dangle would be dragging in the dirt, just waiting to be stomped on, if I was wrong ...

Yeah, they're choosing a lot of stupid hills to die upon. Not picking their battles very well - anything Trump does is screeched about as a crime-of-the-century. That cry wolf routine should get old after a time.

It’s called insubordination. I know the people in DC are unaware of the term but those of us who live in the real world know. You'd *think* that executive branch agency employees would be more keenly aware that they serve at the pleasure of the President (with obvious implications if he is displeased). I've met a fair number of fedgov employees who really don't grasp the concept, or believe that there's a huge buffer of bureaucracy between the White House and themselves.
Surprise!

What about Bill Clinton’s Saturday night massacre?

Not so much as a kiss-my-backside from the press.

The Obama DOJ was corrupt; when it did not follow the rule of law, when it stonewalled investigations, or failed to investigate that which needed investigating, the WaPo applauded.
To: Zakeet
Is the WaPo really this stupid?

Even my birds refuse to crap on the washington pest. Murdering even sick saplings to produce newsprint for the rag is a crime against nature.

The Obama administration lost at least 20 Supreme Court cases in UNANIMOUS decisions. Did the WaPo ever question Obama’s belief in the rule of law?
