Yeah I am loving this. And they think we are snowflakes.

yes unlike syphylis that takes years to get to the tertiary level, one of the first symptoms is mental status changes

@btroje

And can't be cured with antibiotics.

@btroje exactly!

@Athena I don't think science has figured out if it's viral or genetic yet..I have $$ on genetic!

As bad as Clinton? lol

@273kelvin you kidding? Clinton's scandal was big, but not "had sex with a pornstar, paid women to pee on each other, got caught on a bus talking how he sexually harassed women, or was friends with a registered pedophile and did enough things he was accused of to get him a trial" kind of bad. Trump is as incompetent in keeping him as a own secrets as he is trying to be a president

@mek7730 I was joking but an intern is an employee. Therefore a position of trust and power.
I think the pee thing would make the orange one at least interesting instead of a fool.

@273kelvin oh okay, totally misunderstood ya, sorry! yeah, being kinky isn't a crime but it's kinda gross lol I guess it could be worse

@mek7730 Dont get me wring , I think Trumps a creep but Clinton had an affair with an intern... in the oval office....and then lied about it. (ok we would all lie if we could). This is a Wienstien thing nearly. Both consenting adults but far worse than a professor and student.

@273kelvin true, he had women coming out accusing him of sexual harassment too. I'm surprised that in this day and age, the whole situation with Clinton as well as Trump getting accused of raping a girl when she was 13 in the 90's didn't spark outrage in people. They had enough evidence for a trial on both cases

@mek7730 Morality changes and is changing, hopefully for the better. I listened to the Stones "Beggars Banquet" the other day and they got/get a lot of stick for "Sympathy for the devil" of the christians but have you listened to "Stray cat blues"? It would far be worse than "Sniff the glove" a la Spinal tap now but that was the 60s.

I don't know much about this. In order for someone to work for a certain administration, wouldn't staff members define themselves both as supporters of the party and its leader/leaders?

@Athena not for all roles, but for campaigns yes. Think about it this way, if you study to know international treaty law and work to help cabinet members know what they can and cannot control via tariffs, are you automatically a R or D? OR are you just a polysci nerd? Why limit when your career could theoretically start just based on your potential boss?

I know lots of polysci folks and it’s really more like being into law, and the WH has lots from both sides, we even spell out no political tests to be in key positions— it SHOULD be bipartisan in most cases.

Ahhhhhhh, each Administration has It's own Staff..They get to chose the personnel..the only people assigned to the W.H are S.S members and reporters, the only permanent employees are maintainence and kitchen staff...

@Charlene partially, there are roles for younger analysts that aren’t party driven.

@ScientistV
I see. Okay thank you. Not sure how it works in the US.

@ScientistV you do realize I could care not a wit about Anyone that accepted employment in this immoral,inept,corrupt administration..they deserve to be publicly shamed & disgraced..

@Charlene okay, so you’d choose to not practice your career and starve— and possibly starve your kids— over being a filing clerk for the office that handles UN claims because “people are evil” versus try to be a positive influence on people and change hearts and minds. That’s fine, they might NOT take that stance.

I think people put survival over pride more often, tbh.

@ScientistV I'd I rather work washing dishes than work for that hate enabler..washing dishes isn't morally corrupt...

@Charlene what if it’s washing dishes at the WH?

@ScientistV never..the illegitimate abortion in the W.H is a stain on our Republic..his narcissism is destroying our credibility internationally, and this repugnant incarceration of children is driven it to the depth of Hitlerian perversion..

@Charlene Sessions was and is a scumbag, but 2000 is not 6mil, so as awful as it is, let’s find dictators at corresponding levels to keep the magic alive in analogies. The right called Obama Hitler, too.

@ScientistV so it's a matter of numbers?..seriously?

@Charlene yes, genocides are LITERALLY about the numbers, loss of life is tragic but seriously don’t piss on the genocides of history to make a poor analogy.

@ScientistV as I recall I said "Hitlerian"..as in the model of Hitler..and in No way Pissed on the millions of Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, nor hundreds of thousands of other "Undesirables"murdered by him and his regime..

@ScientistV have you even listened to Drumpfs speeches as of late? His use of dog whistles and blatantly Bigoted words are meant to fire up his base..Just as Hitler used Jews for his scapegoating, Drumpf is using Latin Americans as his..the similarities are far to haunting to Not call his policy anything other than HITLERIAN..

@Charlene you’re welcome to your opinion, but he has not hit that level of depravity in which Hitler did and it’s insulting to Hitler’s victims AND survivors to denigrate their experiences for show.

@ScientistV ahhh.really..is that the survivors unanimous desicion or your thoughts..again I've not denigrated nor insulted the survivor of the holocaust. I have, in fact stood shoulder to should with a Survivor of that holocaust, on Boston Common demonstrating at a "Freedom of Speech" rally sponcered by an apologist of White Supremacy...she survived Treblika..she carried photo copies of her Mother, Father, Brother and an Uncle that didn't survive.She also carries her tattooed prisoner number...she fought for existence then and she did that day..Drumps horror show at the border and his statements about asylum seekers is a bald faced usurping of Hitlers words regarding them, the Press, and anyone that dares to disagree with any or all of his policies.

@Charlene sweetheart, agree to disagree. You’ve stood with ONE, and how many did you lose? How many family members shipped out and either came back only partially or didn’t make it home at all? How many have you sat with? Listened to stories there of? It’s demeaning to undervalue that experience, we are not disagreeing that some of the policies his administration put in place deeply hurt people, but again— not to the same level by sheer numbers is it fair to compare that to a holocaust and even having to spell that out shows you have no gravity of that situation, you don’t grasp the hidden genocides of North Korea, Darfur, Congo-Zaire, the albino populations— Venezuela— Saudi Arabia, there’s so many train wrecks to human rights and you focus on one of the smaller ones in your backyard because you can’t be bothered to see above your own pretension and hubris.

You joke about starving yourself for your pride or washing dishes to get by at the expense of sacrificing dreams and you’re absolutely full of shit. Try living in poverty before trying to capitalize your bourgeois self to actually experience it. You offer nothing but hollow lip service and are frankly missing parts of the humanist movement. Bye Felicia.
