Christopher Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 How can Trump make certain he is not overlooked between Christmas and New Year? Well, how about firing the enitre AIDS Expert Gremium? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2017/12/29/trump-administration-fires-all-members-of-hivaids-advisory-council/?utm_term=.44887a55b536 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-aids-hiv-council-fires-sacks-members-latest-a8134031.html http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-fires-remaining-members-hivaids-council/story?id=52050048 Ragitsu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/01/us/legal-pot-california.html Well, it is about damn time. Let's hope the rest of our states catch up soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. You can get fired, but won't necessarily depending on employer policy. Even in local government (excepting public safety positions) there's significant variation ranging from "don't ask and we don't care" to "get caught and you are gone". Factors include consideration of risk (litigation) to deference regarding the state law to regional politics. Still can fire employees for recreational use, but many employers won't.

DShomshak Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just heard on All Things Considered: In his typically blustering response to Kim Jong Un's typically blustering New Year's message, Donald Trump actually used the workds, "Mine is bigger." Supposedly about the size of the metaphorical "Nuclear Button" on his desk, but Trump is a clever enough rhetorician (in his crude way) that I expect he knew the phrase has other associations that will set his base hooting in glee. Ow, ow, ow. Dean Shomshak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ow, ow, ow. Dean Shomshak I only heard about this tweet by trump, when someone did the correctional work on the tweet: "North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Dick is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Dick, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Dick works!" *sing* Is my cock big enoughIs my brain small enough For you to make me a leader ...

DShomshak Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I must correct my previous post. Trump did not use the specific words, "Mine is bigger." In the hour between my hearing the news item and my posting, my erratic brain condensed and altered his words. I heard the exact words two hours later, to my mortification, but by then I was home and could not retract the post. No matter how much I dislike Donald Trump, I do not want to condemn him for things he did not actually say or do. (His real, accurately reported words and actions are quite bad enough.) I apologize for the inaccuracy. Dean Shomshak Simon, Lucius and Doc Shadow 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I don't see why you should apologise for saying something inaccurate about Trump. After all he never apologises for his inaccuracies. Which of course sets a very bad example for the country.

To be fair, while what you stated is true, he wasn't really blowing a dog whistle to his base (and I do mean base in every sense of the word) with what he did say. That was more akin to barking at passing cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
