Trump Appointee Cites 'Matter Of Conscience' In Resigning Over Trump Federal Worker Order
trump isn’t just running for president, he’s also running from prison
@Jordi Nagel Ja,dis die waarheid 😆
I’m SA English but my Afrikaans is passable
☻ “Democrats didn’t care when Madonna said she had thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Kathy Griffin posed with a mock severed head of President Trump. ☻ Democrats didn’t care when a Broadway Play depicted the assassination of President Trump.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Johnny Depp said, “how long has been since an actor assassinated a President”.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Snoop Dog and Eminem made music videos about assassinating President Trump.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when dozens of people were shot to death at a Jason Aldean concert.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Congressman Steve Scalise was shot by a far-left Democrat and nearly died at a baseball game.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Robert De Niro said “somebody needs to take out Trump”.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Carole Cook said “Where’s John Wilkes Booth when you need him?”
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Republican candidate Rudy Peters was attacked by a man with a switchblade.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when a Republican Party Office was set on fire.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Eric Holder said “When they go low, we kick ‘em” and “we just have to brainwash people.”
(Both statements on VIDEO.)
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Trump’s family members received suspicious packages in the mail.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Secretary of Defense James Mattis received death threats.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Maxine Waters said “you get up in their face at the mall, in restaurants, at gasoline stations and you tell them Republicans they’re not welcomed anywhere”.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Sarah Sanders and her family were harassed at a restaurant, instructed to leave, and chased down the street.

☻ Democrats didn’t care when a North Carolina GOP office was firebombed by an angry mob of liberals.
☻ Democrats didn’t care when Hillary Clinton said “we can’t be civil to Republicans until Democrats return to power”.
☻ Maxine Waters “push back..push back” when you see these people….
☻☻☻☻ For OVER 3 1/2 YEARS Democrats have encouraged hate, harassment, vandalism, acts of violence, and even threats of assassination.
@Kelvin Walker oh yeah, I’d forgotten that Tolkien was born there…
Out of curiosity, does that make German easier for you to understand?
@Jordi Nagel Tiny bits. Dutch much more. My ex was a proper goose stepping kraut,and I mean that in the nicest possible way without being nice 😆. Let’s just say she likes control. I have two sons with EU citizenship through her. She lives in Vienna, so it’s cool for them travel wise. Right now she’s bomarding me with alternate doctors Covid findings. Surprising how many there are frankly and their analysis of the legitimacy of the Covid test is pretty intriguing. She’s trying to hook me up with lawyers worldwide to bring a class action suit,but frankly I’ve had enough of Covid for the foreseeable future. Kinda worrying that various health organizations are trying to factor it into equations until 2025. I think the truth of the matter is that it may be here to stay so we may be forced to accept a new reality or agree to subjugate ourselves to the state a la China. Covid and freedom of movement are mutually exclusive.

Decency doesn’t exist under Trump
@Dave You need to wake up from the wet dream you are having & face reality…Trump is destroying America just like he does with everything or anyone he gets involved with
@OSKA Joe Biden (who dated Jill Biden when she was married) won’t even acknowledge the existence of his own grandchild…the child of the stripper Hunter impregnated then threw in the street…[Maury Povich voice] paternity tests prove…HE IS THE FATHER!” That’s such a decent and respectable brood.
@R Dub Sheeit man you really have got the cockwobbles…Biden’s been married for 43 years to Jill & the so called affair was never proven. Hunter Biden has just agreed to permanent child support after giving it on a temporary basis since the the baby was born…Try again
A Typical Clueless Liberal.👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
They have to lie to themselves in order to justify their moronic decision to support the most corrupt career politician in History!!
How do you people look at yourselves in the mirror knowing full well your wrong?
How does it feel to keep losing?🤣

Dr Sanders has integrity, which is why he can’t stay in the Trump Administration.
Fake news is what trump will say
Well, He stayed 3 years and is leaving one week before his traitor boss gets voted out of office. SO there is that , ya know?
@The Handsome Supreme Lord Emperor Donald J. Trump it’s clear from yr brilliant comment that you couldn’t make it past grade 3!! 🥸🤯….so did #45 um 😐 ” the pornstar guy” 🤣🤣🙈🙉💩
He stayed there for three years, he’s just like Kelly Anne Conway, abandon ship before it sinks.
What Donald Trump did demonstrates his continued abuse of authority.
And repugnants don’t even blink an eye, the GOP is criminal. Go blue !
Please…
You’ll hurt Master McConnell’s feelings.
My balls are blue
yeshttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0J
The Republicans in this administration are enabling a dictatorship….it’s not just Trump.
Quid give it up troll, it’s over now, soon you’ll disappear, “it’ll be like a miracle”😎
@QUID-PRO-QUO J0E,- Amen
@R Dub lmfao, such a true statement
Multimillionaire Tony Bobulinski – a life-long Democrat financier- tells-all about his direct experience with dealing with the Bidens. All Americans should watch the interview and decide for themselves what this means.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdlBFKcCDqY
Biden’s are corrupt and sold the USA to the Chinese Communist Party for their own personal interests WHILE Joe Biden was the VP of our country.
Why is MSNBC not reporting on this? Why total silence?
@John Fr. amen to your comment sir
no need to resign…just go and vote Trump out.
VOTE BIDEN / BLUE.
Don’t allow Trump steal the election again? Your vote matters!
@Dee Cee
Indeed. Trump has to endlessly repeat simplistic slogans because his followers are truly low IQ. They dont want facts, which is why they hate science and evidence.
Breaking news…https://youtu.be/7x-biB_JrcU
Trump trolls will be breeding overtime under here. 🙀
Steal the election again… Even Monica Lewinsky voted for Trump, she stated later that the last Clinton presidency left a bad taste in her mouth.

Trump wants a federal robot army of flunkies at his disposal.
@Dennis Walker Troll on Dennis
@Sonny Luka the evidence is out there and pretty easy to find, go for it 👍
Trump wants his very own Gestapo!

*_Running from prison, not for president._*
@Michael Slaney , wow, that was amazing
@g0679 Hopefully a prison library.
He’s running on empty.
@Michael Slaney Criminals are loyal to their superiors, even when they are imprisoned.
@Andrew Ulanowski so your saying you will follow biden from prison? You know that his sons incriminating laptop was delivered to Delaware state police 2 days ago right?
The World Leaders are all doing their Best to control the Pandemic except for our Stupid Leader.. What so Great about him? He just doesn’t care.. He just mocking others.. He just blaming others.. He just kidding.. He just lying.. He is just a loser… He just can’t stop destroying America….
@t henderson Follow the approach of Australia, NZ and other countries who have fought the pandemic (and currently winning).
Europe is having a higher surge and more deaths than the US. Tells you there is no control anywhere in the world.
@vic reichle absolutely false. Look at the results other countries got with proper leadership. Canada, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand and Taiwan are excellent examples, while our response here in the US is among the worst in the world.
@vic reichle sheila doesn’t know this if she watches CNN and MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, etc.
@t henderson I don’t care who you watch. They all say the same thing except for Fox news. Believe as you will.
The corruption of the Trump regime is unbounded, it is a criminal enterprise.
@Ray S 😳 are you saying the executive order is not real, or the person, or his resignation letter? Did you mom dropped you when you were a baby?
Lol. Even before seeing the replies I knew the troll bots are breeding here. 🤣🤣🤣
His actions will make it hard to recruit qualified staff.
A “criminal enterprise” without any evidence of criminal wrongdoing or illegal activity. Truly the greatest criminal masterminds the world has ever known.
@robin hood how stupid are you.?
I don’t think this is going to be the last person in the White House to resign because their “conscience” won’t tolerate it…Vote ByeDone!
Too late.
@Frédéric Slimane You are not wrong – he’s hoping the next tenant will give him back his old job.
He should be attainted like everyone else in that administration.

@John Fr. I suggest that the American people should be careful when listening to anything Tucker Carlson has to say. Also, Don’s Chinese bank account was just revealed, and that is the truth. Here’s a more “moderate” take on this guy. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/23/hunter-biden-wins-the-debate-431558
@Michael Ulbricht It deosnt matter what Tucker says. Listen to Bobulinski, a rich financier the Bidens HIRED to setup a company in China! He gives the interview to clear his name; not for money.
At the very least, why is Joe Biden lying to the American public about his involvement with his brother/son’s business dealings while he was VP? #bobulinski
And Trump was a business person, he had business delaings all over the world, but that was BEFORE he was President. Joe Biden was involved in his brother business dealings WHILE he was VP of our country. Big difference don’t your think?
Oh, so that’s what a patriot in this administration looks like.
yeshttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
alexis yep, outta work.
LOYALTY!
YAAAAAS..
BRAVO DR.SANDERS
HUGE BRAIN
HUGE HEART
HUGE BALLS…
Stand Up to the Demon.
“There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is lost by not trying” (Bacon).
We know that Trump and his GOP have given up on trying to protect Americans from COVID, but we can be grateful for the small lights of R. Sanders in the midst of a Trumpian and GOP darkness!
Trump: I am not a successful self-made billionaire, I just played one on TV.
Sorry, but he is just laundering his name before the election. Too late, should have done it earlier.
Better late than never
K
yeshttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0J
He did it in response to an order issued a few days ago.
@Fredrick Anthony Sounds like he was tired of just going along to get along with the president who hired him but this was trump going a step too far. It would have been more in line with most of our thinking to have never wanted to work for trump in any capacity but there were a lot of people sucked in by him. This one has finally woke up and said I cannot do this any more. Takes a bit of guts to quit a well paying job during a pandemic when there are not a lot of positions waiting to be filled. Especially if your resume will show that you worked as part of a criminal operation for the last couple of years.
Exactly!
This is a person to be admired. Someone who didn’t wait until they had a farewell party then came out and said how terrible it was. He said “I cannot in good conscience continue.” This gives me great hope.
How come he had no conscious before? When federal workers were told they HAD to work, with no pay during the shutdown. He was ok with that? But a few days before the election he jumps ship? Seems like something trying to save his ‘name’.
yeshttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
The worse are yet to come.this a very serious and dark times.
And tRump has the NERVE to call Biden comunist ?????? It was the SOVIET comunist party that DEMANDED ABSOLUT LOYALTY !!!!
Well, it’s from the fascist rule book too. The irony that two authoritarian ideologies, supposedly at opposing ends of the right/left political spectrum have so very much in common is one that wholly escapes the trumpturds.
yeshttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0J
And don’t forget the Nazis. Same rule book.
Exactly
