US Surgeon-General fired (for being born outside the US)

[JakeStarkey]

It's not a really big deal in the context of how twisted the current American government is, and in fact the Surgeon Gen. has little official power. The main point is that his firing is yet another example of the Trump/Bannon 'purge'. Dr. Murthy was on thin ice because he was a) born in the UK and b) brown. It would be odd to attack H-1B visas for 'foreign experts' and have one such heading up a central agency, right?

And of course, in-line with surrounding himself with lowly minions, Trump & Co. appoint a mere nurse as the Surgeon-General, and you can just bet that she will do whatever she is told to do all...the...time. Bark lassie.

So do you always spout bullshit with nothing to back it up?

So you agree with Xanzia. Smart dog.

Only FakeMalarkey would consider that as agreement.

---------------------------------------- I agree with the good poster posted info in post #2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As extra off topic comment , foreign influence is why immigration should be stopped as first generation immigrants never lose their 'foreign ideas' . Thats especially true for muslims where even second and third generation muslims hate the West and the USA Xanzia .

Gotta wonder if some people get their brains used on eBay....

JakeStarkey Well I /was/ thinking that, as a reward for his valiant efforts to appease me by completing everything on the honey do list, I might let him come inside and beg for forgiveness so I can make him cry...

I actually don't cry, my emotions are literary colors because I have synesthesia. I just mete out vengeance when I'm wronged. Oh yea, and all the money invested, every single penny of it, is mine by pre-nup. As I said, he is a total moron. ~rolls eyes~

Just a purge of Barry's leftover appointees. He should've done it three months ago.

Murthy is very incompetent and unintelligent. That is reason enough to fire his ass.

He gets what he has earned, which is . . . nothing.

He is quite competent, smart, and hard working. You can learn from him. And he has grace. You can learn that as well.

Trump is not a friend of color, yes, but if he is going to work on increasing professional jobs for Americans, the H-1B people gotta go home.

A high quality "H-1B" for sure! I hope we will continue to get more of these great "H-1Bs".

(To bigots: he is a US ctizen not H1-B)

For now, Murthy is keeping things diplomatic and not commenting on the reasons why he was asked to leave. He posted a statement on Facebook thanking “America for the privilege of a lifetime.” He also outlines four lessons he learned while on the job:

1. Kindness is more than a virtue. It is a source of strength. If we teach our children to be kind and remind each other of the same, we can live from a place of strength, not fear. I have seen this strength manifest every day in the words and actions of people all across our great nation. It is what gives me hope that we can heal during challenging times.

2. We will only be successful in addressing addiction – and other illnesses – when we recognize the humanity within each of us. People are more than their disease. All of us are more than our worst mistakes. We must ensure our nation always reflects a fundamental value: every life matters.

3. Healing happens when we are able to truly talk to and connect with each other. That means listening and understanding. It means assuming good, not the worst. It means pausing before we judge. Building a more connected America will require us to find new ways to talk to each other.

4. The world is locked in a struggle between love and fear. Choose love. Always. It is the world's oldest medicine. It is what we need to build a nation that is safe and strong for us and our children.

Trump Fires Surgeon General Who Called Gun Violence a Public Health Issue

Then he opposes Trumps policy on guns and he deserves to go for that reason alone, regardless of his place of birth.

Good grief.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Then repent and be forgiven just don't do those sins again.

To truly repent, you have to make a sincere commitment to not repeat the sin.

I cannot honestly do that.

That ain't nuthin'. There's other LWNJs on this site that could shove their tongue up his ass further than that.
