30 Things Worth Firing Over These People Saw Happening In Real Time At Work, As Listed In This Online Thread

Because he's a rich, white man.

The DOJ is afraid of opening a veritable vat of worms. Liz Cheney is saying her fellow congressmen wanted her to lie about the election. In a normal rule-of-law world, this should at least open investigations of their culpability as co-conspirators or even accomplices in trump's coup attempt. It didn't. The dems had more than enough opportunities to seriously challenge trump's installation in 2017. They didn't. They violated their oath to protect us and the Constitution in refusing to act. The trump administration is still criminally (Federal definition for Manslaughter 2nd Degree) on the hook for an estimated 100,000 pandemic deaths (Not my estimate.), which everyone at that level is trying to ignore or sweep under the rug. They're all stalling as much as they can in hopes he'll die before they actually have to do anything with him. It's the same kind of problem that bin Laden posed. As a living convict, or even a suspect on trial, he'd be a lot more trouble than it's worth.

It's because the federal case being built against him involves multiple government agencies who are all required to perform a thorough investigation involving hundreds of potential co-conspirators and tens of thousands of pieces of evidence before the state department could even formally charge him with any crimes. On top of that, aside from, let's say multiple counts of capital murder, there is no greater crime a person can be charged with than treason/sedition. It is the most serious crime possible in the eyes of the law. So the amount of due diligence required to successfully charge (and later convict) someone is astronomical. We all saw it happen, we all know it happened, but the Bill of Rights requires that he receives certain legal protections (attorney, speedy trial, jury of his peers, etc). It's a complicated and arduous process that, especially in a case like this, must be handled with exacting precision. This has never happened before and must never happen again. Ever.

You know that blue jacket he always wears in public? It's custom-made and bulletproof. Literally. I'm not joking. He probably only has the one, since their very expensive.

We probably don't hear about thwarted attempts. Same as with O.

The very government that condemns him is also giving him every opportunity to commit the exact same crimes every single day, knowing all the time that he intends to return to power and topple it if he possibly can.

Then the Dems. need to do a better job with picking out candidates. Trump was basically elected because nobody in their right mind wanted Hillary.

I hope you are in a better place.

It's not called a 'psychiatry'.

It means that the government can't create laws that restrict your speech for any reason. Decking someone is also not free speech, so if someone is saying stupid then either ignore them, counter them with your own speech, or just laugh. Supremacist groups here have ended up falling apart entirely, not by banning them but platforming them and letting people laugh at their ridiculousness.

We're going to have to fight it out next year and the year after. Suggest you all get ready.

Why is it always the most hateful, cruelest people who screech "Freedom of Speech" when they get called out for mistreating people (and assault?)

Exactly. All you have to say is look up libel, slander, and fighting words.

Exactly!

I agree Katie but this is exactly what the press does. They hide behind Freedom of the Press with their fake news. Freedom of the Press does not give them the right to tell lies, spread rumor or manipulate the facts to suit their sensationalism. The press needs to be held just as accountable as bullies that hide behind the 1st amendment with hate speech.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean it's OK to cuss, either. Swearing is a sign of low morals and "I don't have to behave if I don't want to!" Wrong. Do life right or don't call yourself a citizen.

So hard to watch this march toward what everyone in a democracy should have already understood from history is dangerous. Words do matter. And the more powerful the person speaking them, the greater the effect. Truly disheartening that we're in this precarious position now.

Or police, that's assault.

F**k HR. They're only there to protect the company and if you believe anything else you're naive. I'd have been calling the EEOC before anyone had a chance to send me home.

No that’s an sexual assault charge

No that’s a sexual harassment and assault charge

Criminal assault charges.

No they'll have the company's back in a situation like that. Quit and call a lawyer.

It's cute that you think HR is gonna do anything ever 😆

That's a lawsuit in the making

I've never worked in a place that had a HR department. Your boss was HR. So ...

I know people are going to accuse me of victim blaming, but I can't help but wonder if there's more to the story? Was the victim doing something to provoke the assault? edit: Checked on Reddit and the response is this: "Basically because someone told her that the person was talking s**t about her. Keep in mind this person has been in prison before and has been on and off heroin. No judgement but this person in particular is definitely unhinged." So, nope. That doesn't warrant getting assaulted.
