[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it just as big a story that 2 civil servants with &gt;20 years service were summarily fired and forced to say they resigned? And the only explanation given is &quot;they serve at the pleasure of the President&quot; (which is not legally justifiable).

[quote]Lartey said he was fired at the end of the work day on March 23, with no warning. His top-secret security clearance was revoked, he said. Later, five boxes of his personal belongings were mailed to his home.

“I was stunned,” he said. “I asked them, ‘Why can’t you all tell me something?’ I had gotten comfortable. I was going to retire. I would never have thought I would have gotten fired.” He signed a pre-written resignation letter that stated he was leaving to pursue other opportunities. But he is still unemployed.

Young, who was terminated April 19, said he fought back and had his official status changed from “resigned” to “terminated.”

“I was coerced to sign a resignation letter at that time,” he said. “Then they escorted me to the garage and took my parking placard.”

He described the firing as traumatic and frustratingly Kafkaesque. “The only excuse that I’ve ever gotten from them,” he said, “was that you serve at the pleasure of the president.”[/quote][/quote]

I was surprised that the mention of the firings was at the very bottom of the Politico piece. I assume this means that there is now no one attempting to preserve the records, and this is by design. I can't even wrap my head around any of the news about this administration anymore.

And on a much less important note-- [b]What is the deal with him just tossing trash on the floor??  Who does that?[/b][/quote]
Elitist trash.[/quote]

And yet if the littering thread in another forum is to be believed, it's mostly poor and black people who do it.  :roll: [/quote]

Think it’s mostly angry people who do it. They feel they have no control over their lives and this is a passive aggressive way to act out. [/quote]
