If you told me someone was fired for treating women like second class citizens or for refusing to serve people from the LGBT community, I would get that.
If you told me that someone was fired for condoning gun violence or proselytizing for their religion while at work, I would fully approve of that.
But how does one NOT have an opinion about TRUMP!
You either love him or hate him, and his average approval rating for the last year is about 40%.
That means that 60% of people are not loving him.
That could easily mean that 60% of government employees are not loving him.
That means that Our President can, by virtue of his desire to remove anyone that might be biased against him, ask for the resignation of 60% of our government employees.
Profiling is a frequently used tool in policing these days. Profiling is the use of bias. So does that mean we can ask for the resignation of every Law Enforcement Officer that uses profiling in his job?
(I'm seeing a ray of sunshine in this murky method of thinking.)
But really--if I say the president lies, and their are so many lies on video tape right now recording the lies coming out of his mouth it could have its own streaming TV channel--am I biased or merely being honest, stating the obvious, whatever.
Bias implies things; "to cause to feel or show inclination or prejudice for or against someone or something": but if the bias is actually being created by the behavior of the single individual that the bias is created against, is it bias or just good sense.
Because, Yes, when Trumps mouth is moving, I expect lies to be coming out. For him to expect me to believe anything he says, I will need a brand new leaf turned over. I'll need months of absolute truth and an end to all the amazing financial gains he has added to a job that traditionally made people a little better off but that is now providing income in the 10 figure range from foreign business and political powers staying in Trump-owned hotels and "pay to see the man" events are now part of the method of governing at the presidential level.
I have heard him described by a relative that frankly hates all things democrat and only watches FOX news because all the others are full of "fake news" as "an imperfect man" which sounds biblically speaking like Adam or maybe King David.
I'm still trying to figure out how he created the "perfect storm" of demonized, cheating DNC giving us a woman to vote for that was much easier to hate than love (Hillary is not cuddly, and America mostly likes its women cuddly, especially the religious part of America. If Hillary had been more biker chick or grace slick, she could have grabbed some of Trumps camo-wearers, but as it is, not cuddly, just straight to business. Maybe a mullet would have helped) so that less than half the independents and democrats bothered to vote; an underground surge of white supremists ALL showing up to vote, frequently in their camo or biker leathers, and a bunch of church people that wouldn't normally talk to the grandson of a scamming con-man from Germany that was big in the KKK; bankrupt repeatedly, only married eastern bloc supermodels (except Miss Maple--a Georgia peach only worth 2 million at the end of the marriage.(?)
While modern televangelism is full of hypocrisy, infidelity, scammish financial behaviors, and shocking (ho-hum) scandals, even Trump seemed too far from the flock for their vote. He can neither quote scripture without a teleprompter or pray in the appropriate tone of voice. Apparently the white and godly just missed the strong desire to return to the old--white--American ways.
So, the question is--can only people that like president Trump be the judges of his behavior? Do you have to like him to work for the government?
Is it going to become a land of mind control?... or speech control?...a land of one branch of government controlled by an all-powerful man-king?
Will we soon have a dictator that can tell us who can run against him, who gets to vote, how we have to vote.
I wonder if we will have to kneel and call him god...or will he accept just the title "supreme leader" from a people that only speak when given permission.
Fired for bias against--right now everyone either hates him or believes he is going to "save us" despite his awfulness.
Merry Christmas. May we all keep our jobs another year.
