US embassies appear to defy Trump orders not to fly LGBT flags: ‘This is a category one insurrection’
June 10, 2019 | Frieda Powers

 

Ambassadors and diplomats at several U.S. embassies are finding a way to honor Pride Month by raising rainbow flags, despite orders to the contrary from the Trump administration.

The State Department’s rejection of several requests from embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag this month have not deterred diplomatic missions in Seoul, South Korea, and Chennai, India as well as the U.S. embassy in New Delhi which found a way, according to The Washington Post.
 

Although President Trump is the first Republican president to issue a statement honoring Pride Month, requests to hoist the rainbow flag on the flagpole along with Old Glory have been denied, though they may be displayed on walls of the embassy,

What a nice way to say "insubordination" since Trump said no to the flags.  This should be an action by which Trump can rid himself of some dead wood. :bash:

Fire all of those who defied his order. You can privately disagree with your president, but when he orders you to do or not do something and you defy his orders, you should be fired.

Clearances can be pulled for "personal conduct".  So, pull the clearances of who ever defied the State Department's policy.  That forces them out of their position, most likely out of the State Department and quite likely, out of any moderate to high level government position.

If you are going to drain the swap, make sure that you are not just moving things around.

A link to a similar story was posted in the thread about the refusals to permit the practice, and it was declared by the poster at the time as proof that Trump is still a dirty rotten liar.

The State Department is a renegade agency.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

John Kerry followed by Hilariously Rotten Clinton and the stench of failure still lingers on the agency.

You can say that again!

Foggy Bottom has been a hot bed of villainy, subversiveness, and outright communist support, for many decades.

I wonder how Mr. Pompeo has been doing in cleaning it out?

He's now just a half-ass painter (running out of red paint) screaming into the wind.   :laugh:
