    But I would still consider that to be reprehensible.

    Unless they were represented by a labor union and in that case they would most likely have to prove "just cause" in front of an arbitrator in order to terminate the employee.

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Like a child you see things personal and emotional. Let the grownups talk politics, will you.
    Of course the term “blue wave” is subjective. But you felt threatened by the term enough to bring it up.

    The “stolen election” thing didn’t pan out. But it’s a coping mechanism for you, so stick with it if it helps.

    LOL, nothing about what you type says “grown up”. But it’s endearing that you think differently. Haha.

    People cope in different ways. Some adopt a sock to hide a former incarnation when the heat gets too hot.

    Why do you feel the need to make up strawmen about what others think or feel? The only way you know what I think or feel is by my words, but you cite no such words that indicate I feel threatened by blue wave.

    Blue wave was a prediction by the left and media of a great victory for Democrats that never materialized. The predictions didn't pn out. That's factual.


    The “stolen election” thing didn’t pan out. But it’s a coping mechanism for you, so stick with it if it helps.
    You were the one brought up that when you said "I would say stealing the White House, House and Senate in two years is absolutely a blue wave." You were the one claimed the election was stolen. Are you now sayng that's a coping mechanism for you?


    nothing about what you type says “grown up”.
    Another one of your twisting words. I pointed out how you approach discussion here as something personal and emotional. An example of that is you insisting I feel threatened or I'm coping. Everything you post attempts to elicit or claim some emotional response. In short, you're trolling for that, and failing to achieve it. That behavior is childish.

    1) Firing an employee for attending Gay Pride Parade is not called Political Correctness -- it is called Pious Correctness.

    2) Number of people whose careers have been destroyed by Politically Correct Liberals exceeds the number of people whose lives have been destroyed by Piously Correct Conservatives by a factor of several hundred.

    3) Most Orthodox Jewish Rabbis are not Piously Correct -- they do keep all 613 Laws of Torah, but they do not shun members of their congregations who keep part.
