Sessions fired

Sessions writes: “At your (Trump's) request, I am submitting my resignation.” So it's clear that he's fired. That's also what the WP:source says. Wakari07 (talk) 21:50, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In fairness, sorry but EACH AND EVERY TIME an Obama cabinet member left office other than death the designation was "RESIGN" on the events page, regardless, of whatever cherry-picked source you have used to push such bias - thus, your only purpose for new wording can be nothing but a bias push now = fails wp:soapbox--2600:8800:FF0E:1200:504A:F75F:C9AB:5DDC (talk) 21:56, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't even choose the source. Regardless, the source is reliable and other reliable sources don't write anything different. Even Fox writes: "Jeff Sessions resigns as attorney general, at Trump's 'request'" as a headline, and Trump is "pleased". Wakari07 (talk) 21:59, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

like I said this issue has already seen endless Refer to Admins - in fairness it is always "resign" plain and simple - I tell you this knowing full well you have broken several rules already with reverts after I told you the issue has already seen endless Refer to Admins - thus, whatever purpose can you have but wp:soapbox or worse wp:nothere--2600:8800:FF0E:1200:504A:F75F:C9AB:5DDC (talk) 22:02, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

and to be clear you have been given 17 warnings in your history over edit warring over US history issues

so I will remind that the following is in effect:

Response to third opinion request:

"at Trump's request" is totally fine, as that is what reliable sources are saying. Please don't edit war over it. Brad v 22:27, 7 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When someone's resignation is requested by their employer, they have been fired. It is as simple as that. To state otherwise is to whitewash the truth. Icarosaurvus (talk) 10:30, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I note the block history for 2600:8800:ff0e:1200::/64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · block user · block log) (which includes this irksome IP) is most illuminating. Just ignore the troll. 95.148.229.221 (talk) 03:27, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
