    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.

        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.
