      I’ll have more money to buy $12 eggs, because of all the federal crybabies who’ll quit because they’re mad that they have to actually do their jobs now. Tax refund, baby!!! :)

        Wow, you’re incredibly uninformed in how anything works. Holy shit. You posted this stupidity publicly.

          Oh I post all my stupidity publicly! What’s funny though is that you thought I was being serious.

          Not only do I know that’s not how things works, I don’t even actually buy eggs. I have 4 hens in my backyard, so I get all my eggs from my own yard. I only have chicken feed during deep winter. The rest of the time they forage. So my eggs are pretty cheap. And organic.

          Thanks, friend! :)

        Yes, establishing a direct chain of command from the president (who knows nothing about the specifics of single low level career jobs in the government, nor should he habe to) to weaken the government’s cyber security and create room for NS Germany like Gleichschaltung coming from authoritarian presidents (as Trump is, I’d argue), will definetly make you have more money.

        /s.

      Freeze peach is only ever a valid argument when you use it to denigrate minorities. This is totally fine for 1st amendment nuts.

      Freedom of speech means you can’t go to prison for saying something.

      It doesn’t mean you don’t have to face whatever consequences your workplace chooses.

      Example: You can call your boss an asshole. You can’t go to jail for calling him an asshole–because of freedom of speech. But you can very much get fired for calling him an asshole. :)

        actually freedom of speech means you’re not punished by the government for saying things the government doesn’t like, eg. criticizing the government.

          As in punished by going to jail. You won’t be thrown in jail for calling your boss an asshole (or even a “jerk”)–thanks to free speech. But you can def get fired for calling your boss an asshole or a jerk.

          And plenty of people do.

          If it were as cut-and-dry as you say, then people wouldn’t be fired for posting shit on facebook, even in an unofficial capacity. And that has happened under BOTH political parties.

          I’m not arguing fair or not fair. I’m just saying how it’s interpreted by our legal system.

            i wasn’t arguing against that. i was arguing: you can go to prison for saying something (eg. betrayal of state secrets), but not for things like critisizing the government. this is imporrant for democracy.

        That’s not what free speech means either. The first amendment of the constitution says:

        Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

        Trump is blatantly violating the first amendment rights of federal employees. A business could fire someone for putting pronouns in their emails, the president however, cannot.

          I disagree. But I guess we’ll find out what the courts say. Thanks, friend!
