  • Best take in the thread. This is what people are missing. They’re focused on things like children being sick and that it’s no picnic. But if my coworker jets at 3 to ref his child’s soccer game which he volunteers to do because he likes and wants to, and others are not able to take time like that, is that the same flexibility?

    The leaving to pick up kids, “don’t worry, I’ll be back online after”, and they vaporize…all too common as well. It’s a daily thing where I work.

    Essentially, it is often abused.


  • I always point to the Alabama Senate election between Roy Moore and Doug Jones. Roy Moore, known pedophile, vs. normal Democrat. Far too many conservatives went on record saying “better than a Democrat”.

    They are so anti-pedophile until suddenly they’re not. What a disgusting thing to change your opinion on, person to person.






  • They’re emboldened. You’re assuming they care and people play by the rules. This is all about breaking political norms.

    Let’s say, for example, Trump wrote an EO that said “State and Federal employees don’t have to marry gay people if it’s against their faith”. Remember Kim Davis? A person who did that unprompted by the POTUS. There’s plenty of asshats like her in important county positions around the country.

    Given the success of recent Democratic elections, sometimes swinging districts by 20 points in previous Trump districts for the win…all it takes is some people in some key places to do some nefarious shit.
