From what I understand in Virginia she can be fired at will.
To me it's a bunch of drama..snowflakish if you will, she gave the finger and everybody's feeler's got butthurt.

Maybe it has a little something to do with respect? I know, I know...Obama blah blah blah... I will never understand why it’s the “cool” thing to disrespect our president in the ways we have, by whom we have.

But yes, the butthurt also has some to do with it. Some Trump supporters can’t handle any criticism towards him. I imagine they chalk it up to seeing the media go nuts whenever he makes a move. Who would’ve thought that him feeding fish in Japan would be the story it was...

There is no law stating you have to respect your politicians..I always figured its part of being free to think and talk..it's not like her expression hurt anyone.
I agree the fishfood story was just dumb, I wouldn't argue the media is scraping the bottom of the barrel sometimes.

I'm not surprised. Lots of scumbags out there to offer her a job.

Nobody said she had to respect Trump. But it is funny she got fired for exercising her free speech. What's fair is fair.

Keep protecting "dreamers" I mean illegal aliens breaking the law.

Awesome news here!

I actually think being a politician should be one of the most shitty jobs, and any political party should only stay in contention for a few decades at the max.

IF they dont, well than we have this "desperate trying to remain status quo" world, where parties and people in power just try to please stupid voters, and really you should push your voters a lot all the time and so much so you and your party only have a short window in power once in a while.

Thats what politics are all about, a few making all the unpopular dissensions on behalf of the many.
It have nothing to do with being popular and in charge for a long time, actually i think that's the sign of a failing party and political system.

We have election soon ( local ) and there are no one i can vote for

But you should respect the office. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but there are some people, whether or not I like them, deserve respect. Within reason, of course. Disrespect like she showed is pretty disgusting. Betting she doesn’t like him for all the supposed “stuff” he was supposed to have taken by now. Ya know, women & gays not having rights and so forth.

I have zero respect for our PM or the 179 members of out parliament, at least not "RESPECT" as such, i do respect the democratic procedure and i do think its the way to go.
But those mofos better not feel too safe there though they lately build up anti terror measures between them and us, or them and "those guys" if you like.
I am also against the royal family here as we are also still a monarchy here, i call them the most expensive freeloaders we have, and that's not popular with a lot of people.
But i will argue it was better to spend their wages on google commercials if their sole purpose are to sell Danish products and Denmark as a whole.
And i cant shake the knowledge that kings of ours in history have pissed it all away to the tune of the measly little country we are today.
Okay we also had good kings and Queens thru history, but generally one of those are followed by 2 or 3 of the bad ones.

So yes i would flip a similar motorcade off here too, if not for anything else, then for letting them know that they should not feel too safe in their comfortable job.

In other news, in case people here couldn’t think they couldn’t dislike Zuckerberg any more...now Facebook is urging its users to send nudes so they can use them to monitor & prevent revenge porn.

Now, I’m sure there’s a lot of tech mumbo jumbo I don’t understand...but how stupid are Facebook users? How many millions will actually do this...

How is it not? I didn’t say it’s equivalent to something else, just that’s it’s disrespectful. I flipped my dad off as a teenager in anger. He didn’t come give me a high five afterwards...

Disrespectful..maybe, disgusting? ..I guess what is disgusting is in the eye of the beholder.
For instance..a member here was mailing boxes of his sh#t to a few other members..that qualifies to me as disgusting
Giving someone the finger..not even close to disgusting.. to me.
Anyway you're ok, I don't want to beat a dead horse over a silly thing/non event like this.

I gave my dad the finger once..he told me if I did it again he would break my finger having said that giving the finger to a politician is not quite the same..to me.
Cheers

Eh, perhaps my use of disgusting was a bit much... I’m just tired of all the hate this man gets. I get that he has things that presidents don’t say in the public & such, but this irrational fear that people have for him is retarded.

Sometime that sticks is the clip I saw of Ellen saying she wouldn’t want him on her show because she’s convinced he’s a threat to her...being a woman and being gay. Yet, nothing he proposed on the campaign or has done since, that I’ve seen has warranted this kind of “fear.”

I bet it’s fun living in the land of make believe. This guy(yes...guy) is a real piece of work. Not only does he think he’s a woman...but a Filipino woman.

Transgender is a mental illness. Transracial is either a joke or another form of mental illness.

Well, net neutrality's officially over. I personally cannot wait to learn about how to bypass all the new rules and internet throttles the ISP's are going to set, assuming that it's even possible to do so. The FCC may as well legalized theft as well, because in my book the ISPs are going to be stealing lots of money...

Yeah, I can't wait to get back to my internet/cable provider stopping me from visiting certain broadcasters websites because they aren't part of my cable package.

Well lets hope that the incoming lawsuits to oppose this ruling will lead to striking it down.
