An affirmative action defiant liberal gets what’s coming to her, there’s a new boss in the Executive Branch. LOL!

I can’t wait to see who’s fired next on “Federal Apprentice”. Stay tuned. The producer has at least a 4-year contract.

I hope liberals in the current administration keep this up. It’s a lot easier to get rid of them when they disobey orders than it is to have to ferret them out one by one if they stay undercover.

Same thing. The entire executive branch IS the administration.

I’m happy to be winning, but this swamp draining of DC is gonna be a nightmare for the president. These people are gonna fight all out and be hanging on by their fingernails to keep their Globalist Club afloat.

Can’t we ever get good news from a conservative site so we don’t have to read the obvious bias in the report :)

“Boom Baby” - called by former ABA Indiana Pacers coach turned sportscaster, “Slick” Leonard, when Reggie Miller, sticking it to Spike Lee and the NY Knicks, among others, hit 3’s.

Good times. And a worthy call for these times.

This idiot is a fine example what happens when you make a decision based on emotion and not reason.

Obummer signed the exact same ban last year and she never opened her mouth.

Then she openly refuses to carry out the order of the President of United States, who is responsible for the safety of over 300 million men women and children.

He is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer, and the head of every law enforcement officer,every attorney and every single person in the Executive Branch.

What if some of those who used to be under her decided not to obey her

We already have enough people in Congress make laws for the people to go by who are deciding not to go by the ones they make for us.

They lie, take kickbacks through the talk circuit, take non existence jobs on the Board of various companies they gave government contracts to after there terms end.

Who the hell do these people think they are.

You bunch establishment and media leeches better quit fighting President Trump and see if you can turn some of this mess around because I got a deep feeling this is the last chance before literal hell breaks loose and you are going to have passed the point of no return and you are going to have some millions of people who like you are going to choose what laws they will and won't obey.

Schumer in Nov. 2015 thought a “pause” in admission of Syrian refugees would be justifiable based upon terrorism issues:

Liberals/Democrats are biased dishonest hypocrites, as are ofc their MSM partners.

"At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the Executive Order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the Executive Order is lawful. Consequently, for as long as I am the Acting Attorney General, the Department of Justice will not present arguments in defense of the Executive Order, unless and until I become convinced that it is appropriate to do so."

While it is clear that Yates is making a purely political statement, her glaring insubordination to the Trump administration will take on a largely symbolic hue, and may be imitated by various other government agencies which still have interim or permanent democratic leadership, as is the case with every instance of political "mutiny."

better yet, "you're under arrest and we're going to prosecute your sorry ass for felony violation of 18 USC section 1001, 'lying or fraudulent statements to a government official'. you remember when you told the Senate, back when they confirmed your worthless ass, that you 'would defend and uphold the law'? remember that, honey?"
