the OP’s source. It’s always nice to know where the source was. Not that it isn’t there, but if the OP’s source is, say, DailyKos or Fox, I may go :dubious: as I read it and then reflect on the way it was framed.
Another plus is that if a president wants to boot an FBI director, he’d have to answer to the public. So you have less chance of a president kicking out a director for political reasons. If so, the president’s image would suffer.
You know what this means, right?
Mueller has the REAL Kenyan birth certificate!
You should always reflect on the way the OP frames his post.
In this case, the news (paragraph 2 of my OP) is a readily available news story, which you seem to have had no trouble in finding. Paragraphs 1, 3, 4, and 5 are opinion, which I hope you don’t require me to link to, else we will have some serious recursion issues.
I shall, in future, give due consideration to posting links for those who have no knowledge of the subject but wish to put their two cents in anyway.
:rolleyes:
It’s not about having no knowledge of the subject. It’s about wondering if an OP is prone to certain bias. There are a dozen threads here that show an OP posting on a subject with clear bias (and sometimes misinformation).
Yea, but since your starting the OP, and presumably you already have the story open in your browser, I think its generally just polite to provide a link rather then have every individual poster google up the actual story. I mean, it only takes a few seconds to google, but it makes more sense for one person to take five seconds to provide the link rather then have 20 people spend five seconds each googling up the story.
Because it is that important. I.e., same reason Cabinet secretaries and officials several levels down change with every Administration: It’s not just an administrative position, it’s a policymaking position. The “permanent government” should have a sphere of independence to carry out its statutory missions, but always under political oversight at the top of every agency.
Does Obama not know who the J. Edgar Hoover building is named after? The guy blackmailed every elected in D.C. for five decades using government employees to do the work.
Yeah. One corrupt man doesn’t the whole world make.
