From Idiocracy:
Joe: Jesus. I don’t understand. Why me? Every time Metsler says, “Lead, follow, or get out of the way,” I get out of the way.
Bauers: When he says that, you’re not supposed to choose “get out of the way.” It’s supposed to embarrass you into leading or at least following.
Joe: That doesn’t embarrass me.
Resigning is just giving up without a fight.
If it take a week for trump to fire Wray, that’s a week less trump’s lackey has.
This isn’t a protest resignation that should be celebrated, it’s a coward who doesn’t think opposing fascism in anyway possible is worth it.
We can’t keep putting people without the will to fight in power.
Yup. All these politicians, journalists and corporations just caving before this stupid fuck takes over is spineless and only emboldens him and his dipshit posse.
Oh they have the will to fight, just not against what we would hope for.
The only big name Biden’s DOJ got in four years was Hunter Biden…
Like, I remember a defense of Biden’s age was “it’s about the people he appoints”, and I just can’t see the argument that Biden was able to pick the right people.
He picked moderates whose main concern is appearing impartial.
Lina Khan was great, but yeah, most of the people he appointed were the wrong people for the job and evidenced all the failures of Biden’s general political philosophy.
Aaahh the arm chair hero calling a man with a family a coward because he doesn’t fight the tough fight that our arm chair hero would
obeying in advance.
when the american people tell you that your work should be replaced by utter ineptitude and fascist self destruction, who are you to say they’re wrong, where should the desire to continue to the bitter end come from to, what, keep your job until the fascist makes a big deal about firing you? shit. if it were me, i would’ve resigned the morning after the last election.
Yes, but you don’t run the FBI. It’s a public service role. When you sign up, you sign up to protect the public and the Constitution. If Wray doesn’t realize that, he never understood what his job was.
He’s a historic figure, he should be keeping an eye toward resisting fascism with the tools he has available. Obeying in advance is supporting fascism, whether or not he’s disappointed in the voting public.
