Trump Appointee Who Threatened to Keep Working Despite Biden Firing Whines: I Can't Log In

Trump-appointed Social Security commissioner Andrew Saul kicked up a major stink when he was fired by the Biden administration, vowing to carry on with his job whether the president liked it or not. But that threat almost immediately fell flat when he tried to log on to government systems as usual on Monday—only to find that his access has obviously been revoked. “I’m here to do the job... but I can’t do anything with the communications shut down,” Saul said in an impotent whine to The Washington Post. Saul, who is 74, said he was shocked to be fired in what he described as a “palace coup” last week, and threatened that he’d continue his work as the “duly confirmed Social Security commissioner.” However, his acting successor, Biden appointee Kilolo Kijakazi, has already taken over

VA's Democratic primary was today. Besides me and one of my sons, no other voters present at 7:50 am. The scanner showed we were voters 21 and 22.

, airing at the same time on NBC."

Why doesn't anyone investigate who is telling Central American families that now is the best time to

send their unaccompanied children to the US?

It happened under Obama (who actually had a strict immigration policy) and it is happening now under Biden. Both times the GOP was quick to make political hay.

Why isn't the cause being investigated? It wasn't investigated under Obama either.

My personal theory is that right wing evangelical churches (the fastest growing Churches for Latin Americans) is responsible propped up by money from the usual RW sources. They are intentionally creating a crisis on the border to damage the Democrat's policy initiatives.

Investigate!
