mickey23.bsky.social @mickey23.bsky.social · 12/12/2024The way evil, tyranny succeeds is for the Good not to say or do anything. Why are people capitulating,obeying in advance to this fat old Demented, cowardly, bully, in advance?? You're giving him power over you, which just imboldened him more. Wray you have no spine. 000 0
craulian.bsky.social @craulian.bsky.social · 11/12/2024it’s understandable he might prioritize his family and health. Working under someone like Trump, who thrives on loyalty over competence, creates a toxic environment for anyone who doesn’t bow to his demands. Wray’s decision reflects the impossible position non-loyalists face in such a regime. 000 0

National News Breakdown @mrbouverette.bsky.social · 12/12/2024bsky.app/profile/mrbo...National News Breakdown@mrbouverette.bsky.socialWhen we said, "NEVER OBEY IN ADVANCE," we were including the FBI Director. Christopher Wray’s resignation betrays the FBI’s neutrality and will allow 45 to weaponize it. This kills trust in democracy’s institutions. 6 min read: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #FBI #MAGA #Wray #ObeyInAdvance 000 0
Jubilado0505 @jubilado251.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I can’t blame him. He’s had a stormy tenure right from day one. And nobody wants a dismissal on their resume. 000 0
macforme @macforme.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I understand your take, David, but this way he takes away the power over him from Trump. Also it looks better on the resume 🤣 010 0
Daroob @daroob.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Once Biden guaranteed the peaceful transfer of power two months before the inauguration, 97% of hope was lost anyway. 000 0
CraigPoulley @craigpoulley.bsky.social · 11/12/2024He could have installed Patel as number 2 without senate confirmation. Then fire Wray and he assumes the no 1 position by default. For every norm there is a workaround in the broken and flawed US political system. 000 0
Tom Alisankus @tja19.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Would that have compromised his pension? Sessions fired the one guy 26 hours before his full pension vested. Purposely as I recall. 000 0
baredoodah.bsky.social @baredoodah.bsky.social · 11/12/2024If Wray believed anything he was saying, he would have stayed put and fought them and tried to protect this FBI and the people there he claims to value so dear. There are three possible reasons he rolled over so easy. Trump has dirt. Trump has gifts. Wray is a bitch. 011 0

dlawbailey.bsky.social @dlawbailey.bsky.social · 13/12/2024He was probably defending his pension. If Trump fired him "for cause", he'd have to sue for years to recover his pension benefits. 000 0

rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 11/12/2024It’s not complying in advance if you mostly agree with the authoritarian. It just be helpful, or advancing what you believe in. Wray is not a liberal. He a federalist society member. Why fight? 000 0
