Florida VA Rails Against Hanging President Trump Photo, Removes Image

The war between the Trump administration and the left is only growing as a Florida V.A. Center decides to forgo hanging photos of Trump and the new V.A. head! What are your views and feelings about this recent insurrection/insubordination? Should these employees be "fired?"

Also,
haven't we had enough? Do you believe this resistance is nothing but childish temper tantrums?

You do realize that these were unofficial photos?

"The federal General Services Administration has not yet said when the official ones will go out."

Other agencies, such as the EPA, also have not received official photos of Trump yet, so their walls are blank, too.

Fired?

The issue is derelict of duty. The VA has "rules, by-laws and laws" that govern their facilities. An "official" photo is to be "requested" and "placed" in VA facilities. It wasn't placed, because it was not ever requested, or they have not yet been prepared and distributed. The derelict of duty falls on the one responsible for "updating" the "official photos", after a new person becomes office holder, ie Trump.

Some vets had expressed dismay about the delay, without an adequate response, and took matters into their own hands, to hang photos themselves.

They "should" have bypassed the one responsible for requesting and placing "official" photos, by taking their unresolved complaint higher, IMO.....BECAUSE it appears, the one responsible, made no mention of having even made a request, and was in waiting for photos.

A lot of left wing bureaucrats need to be fired. Trump is moving way too slow.

Because so much of his time and his administration's is spent defeating the acts of treason.

My opinion of course.

Unofficial how? That's the exact same portrait that's hanging in my facility, at the armory, at the active duty schoolhouse I was at 2 weeks ago, & etc.

Unofficial in that they weren't sent through the chain of command--something vets ought to know, understand, and encourage. While the senator's intentions and actions are admirable, how many troops just got the message that when they don't think things are happening to their satisfaction, they should just take matters into their own hands?

Secondly, were they exactly the same photo? Did you blow up the picture from the article large enough to ensure they weren't photoshopped?

What remains to be proven is whether this VA clinic has or has not made the official request for photos; has or has not received the photos; and/or is actually refusing to display the photos.

And if that can be proven, then the "leadership" at that VA should be fired and replaced ASAP.

Having 5 deferments might have something to do with it Don.Who wants to look at that guy when both your legs were blown off. BTW, I would have the same mind set if it were BO & Clinton.

I was talking aboutthe portrait. Trump, scowl, red tie. The official portrait.

I'll double check when I get in tomorrow, but I can just about guarantee our official photos were not sourced from GSA. Every building I've entered that posts command photos in had the new one up within a week. And while GSA is slow, two months for a photo seems bad even for them. Of course we have DA photo labs everywhere, something VA doesn't have.

Every base I was assigned to received the official photo to be posted from our Public Affairs office. If it didn't come from their office, it wasn't "official."

Does this mean that they have not yet removed the picture of the communist, Muslim who was the last president?

Good question?! I assume, from what I've read, they removed herr obama. There was faded wall paint around the area his highnesses photo once hung.
