Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.
In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent council of the inspectors general on integrity and efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.
There have been growing criticisms of him coming from the left for a bit now on how some of his tendencies to diffuse situations learns more towards liberalism than leftism. This isn’t an outright attack on him or to say he’s moving rightward overall. I need to watch this video again but I think this is the one that touches on a bunch of the points, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hCxHvogsTY
From a comment on the video, “Jon Stewart made me a liberal as a child, adulthood made me a leftist.”
If you like Jon Stewart I’m not trying to say you shouldn’t. But as someone who has continually been moving left, I do feel more distance from him than I used to is all.
He’s absolutely moving right.
Hes not moving right hes always tried to work across the aisle something leftists could learn a thing about
Thanks for the information but leftists are increasingly making me more liberal anyways so I’m not too worried about it.
Is your political stance based off of policy or the individuals that make up the constituents of politicians that claim to be left? I don’t understand how some rhetoric from “lefists” have changed your views on policy. Might want to step off of political discourse online if you’re being swayed by “personalities”, it’s exactly the kind of discourse bad-actors are trying to implement.
Leftist are as flaky with their policies as they are with the people they choose to lead them.
They’re not a unified front right now so there’s no reason to back them.
At least the liberals get in power quite often.
Hey, fair. I know the overall political left has always been plagued with infighting and purity testing. I’d like to at least do my part in bridging the gap between leftists and liberals by not getting in your face about not panicking over this shit if you’ll still allow me the same space to entertain my concern without calling me hysterical. Deal?
I don’t call anyone hysterical I abhor the historical connotations of the word.
