You can "say" whatever you want, but in order for it to have any meaning you have to point out what he said that was not true.
So tell us what you learned for your unbiased media sources.

Sacking is a term from long ago, when workers carried their tools in sacks to their place of employment.
They were not given the respect of resigning their positions, they were just sacked.
Trump had respect for Flynn due to his long and exemplary service to the United States, but was in a position where he had to let him go due to the circumstances.
Sacking is a term loaded with disrespect, something that General Flynn did not, and does not deserve.

Mike Flynn's induction into the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame has been put on hold.
"After mass resignation, Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame 'defers' Flynn's induction. What we know."
Katherine Gregg for the Providence Journal; December 29, 2023.

I am sorry for letting this thread get so far off track. This happens a lot in political "message board debates", and this time I am partially to blame.
My original point was that Flynn was not "convicted by a biased liberal media" as you tried to claim. Instead he admitted to lying and Trump fired him because Flynn was a liar that Trump could not longer trust. Flynn lied to the FBI the same way he lied to Pence and Trump. There was no "set up". If Flynn was stupid enough to get "set up" by a couple of FBI agents then he never deserved to be National Security Advisor and he does not deserve to be honored by Rhode Island.
The difference between "sacking" and "firing" is meaningless to this discussion.[This message has been edited by BingB (edited 01-02-2024).]

WRONG !
Trump had no need to railroad Flynn. Everyone in his administration serves at his pleasure.

 , ah memories.
Early in my roughnecking career, I / we used to use sacks for our work clothes after they were laundered. Many were told to "sack up".
I voluntarily "sacked up" a few times. I also remember many times where an employee told the "crew boss" that x & x just sacked up. Many times for not getting respect.[This message has been edited by cliffw (edited 01-04-2024).]

Not wrong.
If you disagree then explain why.
And you don't get to make up your own meanings for words.
