1. Damn

He just refused to resign like minutes ago. Glad Biden isn't suffering these fools well.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Guy had his chance to leave with a bit of dignity...

fuck him. Get the marshals in there and carry his fat ass out.

[Dem2]

9. Absolutely

Good governance isn't about loyalty, time to take out the trash.

[Cha]

2. Rt Excellent!

[onetexan]

4. LOL this guy is sure dumb for a general counsel. Good riddance.

[Old Crow]

30. Agreed. Who, with a lick of sense, REFUSES to resign? (N/T)

[rsdsharp]

5. Don't go back to the office.

We’ll mail your shit to you.

C.O.D.

[jb5150]

14. Fuck mailing it ...

he can fish it out of the dumpster.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

6. Good

Get rid of as many of those assholes as you can

[LizBeth]

7. Yea Joe. Take no guff. Four years of their guff.

8. All of these people should have submitted their resignations months ago

The day after the 2016 election, President Obama's chief of staff sent a memo to every political appointee instructing them to submit their resignations within two weeks. And repeated reminders were sent to anyone who may have forgotten. That's how it's always been done.

Another example of Trump's and his crew's undignified obnoxious behavior.

16. Really? Good info., thanks!

[MontanaMama]

26. I didn't know any of this.

Thank you.

[NoMoreRepugs]

33. My guess - the TrumpenFuhrer's minions had zero idea that was how it's always been done.

Why expect competence now???

[Tarc]

10. Is there any appreciable difference between a resignation and a firing in these situations?

Pensions, civil service status, etc...?

[onecaliberal]

12. Good question.

[Mr.Bill]

13. If your name is on your shirt, you get fired.

If your name is on your desk you get resigned.

[BrightKnight]

15. If you resign you don't have to say you were fired from your last job. nt

[StarfishSaver]

17. Yes and no

It is considered a resignation for many purposes where it makes a difference, but for the purpose of unemployment, it's considered an involuntary separation so political appointees can collect unemployment.

It really doesn't affect pensions, civil service status since terminations not for cause don't have any impact on those things - what matters is the amount of time served and the pay received.

[Gore1FL]

32. Good to know.

Thanks!

[onecaliberal]

11. I like that Biden is moving swiftly against these rat fuckers.

[Marie Marie]

28. Go Joe!

[SunSeeker]

18. Taking out the trash!

[littlemissmartypants]

19. So do you reckon the lowlife will file for unemployment? nt

[RainCaster]

21. Yep, just what I was thinking

[dixiechiken1]

20. Okay, this is AWESOME...

Wikipedia is already updated:

Peter Barr Robb (born January 24, 1948) is an American lawyer who was the former General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). He was appointed to the position by President Donald Trump. He was fired by President Joe Biden on January 20, 2021 after refusing to resign.[3]

25. lmao! That was quick! nt

[orangecrush]

22. GTFO!!!

[lame54]

23. Make Absent Resisting Assholes

[ecstatic]

24. Fire every last one. No exceptions. nt

[Azathoth]

27. Some of these people don't deserve the opportunity to resign

The first thing they should see from Biden is a pink slip delivered by a security officer who will walk them to the door.

[StarfishSaver]

34. It's standard for political appointees to resign so the new president doesn't have to fire them

[Digger]

29. Womp Womp

[MyNameGoesHere]

31. Damn, fuck, shit hell, tits, ass, vagina, Bullshit

Oh NSFW OK.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. Obviously nobody sent Robb the memo that the coup failed.
