Where you jump on the train to crazy town is where you say that the person who can fire her for any reason or no reason isn't her boss.  That's nuts. The President is her boss.  But she also has to follow the law and answer questions from Congress if asked.  Guess what: both of us also have to follow the law and answer questions from Congress if asked! I have a boss who can fire me, and you probably do too.  We are the same as her, except her boss is the President.

The issue here is most likely that the President has asked her to do her job in a way that she doesn't feel is lawful.  He has demanded her resignation so he can find someone who doesn't think his orders are unlawful, or doesn't care.  Or maybe you're right, maybe she went through the pain of a Senate confirmation just to give up and leave public service after just 17 months.  Guess what: most people in her position write their resignation letters without mentioning whether they were asked to leave.  The letter on its own proves nothing.  She will be more free to speak once she actually steps down.

Regarding the part in bold.  You are just doing what far left liberals do.  Say something false enough times so that people believe it.  No facts, nothing to substantiate the claim.  It just (in your mind) "most likely" happened so it must be true.

You're describing propaganda and every political party has members who do it.
I really do think it's true, though, that she was asked to resign over a dispute about what is legal and what is not.
I want this conversation to be about whether blocking asylum seekers from crossing while allowing documented people to pass is lawful or not.  I actually don't know for sure. No one wants to answer that question, though.

Safe passage to a facility where your plea for asylum will be heard by a judge, then safe passage either to another facility to await a full hearing or safe passage to a bus that will safely pass you back into the country you came in from illegally.

I think she meant "from the border to the voting precinct."

Yep.  Your reptile brain fills in the blanks unfavorably for your enemies and favorably for your friends.  Just like everyone else's.
