Re: POTUS 45.20 - Doddering Dotards Dodging Detente

As a few people I know say "Lebron should just shut up! What does his rich *** know about being poor or held down!" That is usually followed by something about how racism is a rare thing.

Trump has awakened us to the fact that things werent as good as we tended to think they are. President Harambe Usama Blackentinov X really messed with the heads of a lot of people and Trump and this wave of disgusting racism is the backlash.

This sounds twisted, but the one good thing that Trump has done is he let us know who the racists are. Before, it was very quiet/subdued. You didn't know where people stood because they were afraid of saying anything. Now we know. And if one is a racist, I know enough not to deal with that person, you know?

I hope what I am saying is understood. I didn't really state it in a good way.

I wasn't talking about the LeBron stuff. The point was about Gilbert giving money to both parties. To say he is doing it for the good of the region is completely rubbish.

Aren't you the one always crying about how we need to quit party identifying and work together to get things done? And yet, when this man, or anyone else gives money to people from both parties, in an attempt to try to get this done, you say all this shows is how corrupt everything is.

Make up your frickin' mind. Or better yet, start using your frickin' mind.

A lot of people I associate with in one way or another have never put forth some of the rhetoric they do now. And social media is now filled with Redneck Racist Warriors all over the place.

I mean they were always there but they kept it to themselves.

Yeah, I guess I was wondering if we've been surprised where they're coming from. Also, I can't think of many negative descriptors that do not apply to Turmp, but what exactly about him brings out this dark side of who we are.

Legally, they aren't necessarily wrong. Sexual orientation is not explicitly protected at the federal level, and the Obama administration's work around of shoehorning it in as sex discrimination is awkward at best.

That said, nothing requires the DOJ to take a position in stone of these cases. And its position reversal in the Colorado cake baker case is asinine.

I'm not sure about other states, but in Mass you don't need a reason to get rid of someone. I've got mixed feelings on the laws. I don't want people discriminated against for who they are, but at the same time don't think the government should be involved in who is hired and fired.

Former CIA Chief questions trump's leadership.

Even though he was top dog in the CIA during Obama's term, you'd think at some point these constant and daily refutations of trump's abilities to be president would resonate with SOME of his voters. I know they won't, because as is becoming more and more apparent every day, Hillary was off by a country mile. Pretty much if you voted for trump, you are deplorable. Yes there are exceptions to that here or there, but those are simply the people too naive and ill-informed to even understand the complexities of modern day politics and the roles our elected officials really play.

trump is a mix of mental illness and evil. There can be no rational argument that concludes differently. If you possess all your marbles and are not actively opposing trump at this point, you ARE deplorable. I am reminding my republican U.S. senator and my U.S representative in the House of this on a regular basis. I hope any of you so afflicted with elected representatives are doing so as well. I am fortunate (in one way) that a large portion of my job focuses on politics, so I have a platform to efficiently speak on these issues to a lot of people. I am reminding them of it as often as I can, and hoping it has at least some effect.

It boggles my mind that people like you don't think the government's role is precisely in areas like this. Who else is there to protect someone who is discriminated against? Yes, I don't want any government to determine the skills required to put a tire on a car or design an advertising campaign. But to ensure that people are hired or not hired on anything other than their ability to perform the required tasks of a job is within the scope of any government that purports to "protect" its citizens against all foes foreign or domestic.

It is such a simple thing to say "we don't want big government" but it always seems to me the people who shout that the loudest simply want the government to protect the things they care about, like guns and who the fvck I sleep with.

Maine is also an at will state, however it's still illegal to fire someone for being gay (there would need to be some kind of evidence that shows you were fired for being gay because in general you don't need a reason to terminate someone's employment).

How do you determine who is objectively the most qualified? And then you also have the issue of who is the best fit culturally. In today's world that isn't a minor consideration. Hiring is a crapshoot and I don't think the government getting involved makes it any better.

On the other end obviously I don't think people should be fired for their sexual orientation. It's hard to prove in a lot of cases though and if laws are too restrictive as far as getting rid of people that creates a whole other host of issues.
