10/23/17 21:07:18 with a score of -23: https://old.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/789bs5/can_i_fire_an_employee_for_use_of_pronouns_at/dost1n3/?context=8

I addressed that. I also addressed why that isn't a legitimate business reason for disciplining or terminating the employee over an aspect of the employee's life that is rightfully outside the employer's concern.

So, to reiterate: an employer doesn't have a legitimate business interest in dictating whether their employee is male, female, or otherwise;

Anglo, Japanese, Latinx, Malay, or otherwise;

25, 45, 55, or otherwise;

Titled Mr., Ms., Mrs., Reverend, Mx. Or otherwise;

Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, or otherwise —

If their job is accomplished as any other employee's is, and the Loss of Business is solely ascribable to customers being persecutorial bigots, that then is not the fault nor responsibility of the employee.

Any suggestion that it is otherwise needs additional facts to bear that assertion out, or is (as history and the law have shown) simply wrong.

Any business chartered under the law which finds itself unable to operate in accordance with the law needs to reconsider whether it has failed or fulfilled its charter.

Trump has not been endorsed by a single former GOP President, presidential candidate, or VP — the only exception is Sarah Palin.

The list of Republicans who oppose his candidacy is long, and growing every day.

It's been a long while since those were really relevant. I have my suspicions but will keep them to myself until / unless I get my hot little hands on the real list.

According to the Wired story, their list includes Reddit in some way. I can't wait to get my hands on the part that names subreddits & subreddit operators.

Two things:

Per the article, whether the quoted Groomercord account is the shooter's is still uncorroborated. The FBI & Groomercord believe it is linked to him.

Second, "… I'm not contributing anything to culture I need to go out knowing I did" is right wing / White Identity Extremism stochastic terrorism culture. Targeting elementary schools is right wing / White Identity Extremism stochastic terrorism culture.

Whoever wrote that Groomercord profile was a White Identity Extremist terrorist. That sentence radiates neonazi shooter stink lines.

Whether it was the shooter or it was someone who had hijacked his identity to manufacture an appearance of motivation, or to blackmail the kid, remains to be determined.

Right wing / White Identity Extremism terrorist & extortion groups that target 12-16 year old kids and blackmail them / extort them / manipulate them / radicalise them are a real thing. We don't know anything yet about his motives.

You vastly underestimate the long and storied legacy of police and prosecutors using the justice system to frick people over with a deluge of bullshit charges, lying "confidential informants", bad eyewitness testimony, and circumstantial evidence that persuades grand juries to hand down an indictment.

Regardless — this really, really is about "Courts should never be used in a way that has even the appearance of affecting an election"

The reasoning goes that if he was merely going to be fined, the sentence would have been already totted up by a formula and handed down, promptly after the guilty verdicts. Then he would appeal, blah blah, blah, it's a fine, it's his "cost of doing business" and he'd move on after politicizing it.

He can't shrug off "Report to Rikers". He can politicise it into a violent political revolt. He can politicize it into "get out there and vote!".

This way it denies him "I'm the champion strong man standing up for the little guy" dynamic he's used in the campaigns.

But he will go to prison and rot there.

I'm going to lock this now, as the existing answers have been given.

If someone wants to start up a project to build a wiki documenting the individual videos, replete with bibliography, we're open to hosting it.

There are other sites out in the internet hosting wikis about Natalie's videos, and those may or may not host a bibliography.

But no one is obliged to build one.

This isn't actually about Trump.

Any judge would suspend sentencing a candidate running in an election, to avoid the appearance of politicising the bench.

If normalised, the process of trying & convicting candidates in the run-up to elections on bullshit charges would become rampant.

It's not about Trump. It's about preventing the destruction of public faith in the institution of the justice system.

He'd be sentenced after the election no matter if he wins or loses; if he wins, he'll corrupt the DOJ utterly.

Get out and vote this November. Make sure he loses.

We don't allow people to come here to defend / platform apologia for conservative politicians who deny there's a solution to the problem. It's not a fact of life. It's a manufactured crisis by conservative terrorists ensuring their adherents can deliver terror anytime they wish. "Vote for me, I have a solution" — that solution's been tested and doesn't work. Everywhere else in the world they've tested a solution that works.

Will this unstable human EVER admit that they were somehow incorrect about something? Got it wrong my bad etc. It feeds once again into my theory that there is no transphobia at play here. You're reviled for being a narcissist, and being an overly pretentious/verbose butthole nothing more.

It angers me because she experienced the torture that the hate machine puts trans people through, as a high profile target of the g*mergate terrorism - and then they lovebombed her, offered her a way out, if only she would throw nonbinaries and "other" transgender people under the bus

And she took it

Knowing they intend suffering and death on their targets

She took their hands and she helps them accomplish that goal

I know of nothing more evil

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
