Wow. Just a fucking gross response. Every chance they get they try to insult the person who was doing their job.
His idiot followers would think their invitation bests federal laws.
A different article said that the reason the beleaguered employee wasn't pressing charges was fear of harassment by his sycophants. His toadies make life hell for descent people, thus shielding him from repercussions. It's time to put this man out of the spotlight so the wheels of justice can run him over.
It's sobering to think about how far US politics has fallen since I've had the power to vote. There was a time that I can still remember, where something like this would do more than kill a campaign. Republicans would be condemning their own candidate, and the candidate's PR team would be working overtime putting out, "we apologize for the misunderstanding and meant no disrespect to the fallen soldiers" statements to try to quell the backlash.
Nowadays? Nope. They double and triple down, and their base loves it. I hate this so much.
I cast my first vote in 1990. It was the first and last time I ever voted for a Republican. Please forgive me. I was eighteen and raised under Reagan. I didn't yet know better.
Anywho, I concur with your assessment. We've fallen so very far.
Second time in the last few days I see that particular typo. It's "decent". Please.
...no, staff must descend into the hollowed grounds...
I dunno have you seen the movie The Descent? I could see the cave dwellers in that movie being cousins to the MAGA crowd. Great low budget horror flick btw. Skip the sequel.
No, but I've watched Disneys Descendants. A bunch of villain's kids get to go to school after being cut off from society all their lives due to their parents choices. The kids come in to school dedicated to evil, but the more they learn & get to know people, the more they all decide to be good people.
I have no idea how that relates to anything in the real world in the past however many years.
Yep, you're right. I caught it when re-reading my post to contextualize a reply, though it's been too late to edit without being dishonest. I hold myself highly accountable for mistakes and that's one of them. Thanks for pointing it out.
I also like the Oxford Comma and a proper ellipses…
It was more of an emotion than pointing something out, I hated autocomplete too when it was a new thing and would suggest nonsense half of the time. =\
An understandable Freudian slurp.
It means they are descended from decent people.
