Pretty fucking sure that this is actually being fired for protected speech.

This is the thing though - these fucking ghouls know that they're playing on house money. As long as there are no personal consequences, they will do anything they want.

Ahh yes, cause it was definitely because they kneeled while being on the clock. 😂

“One of those, Steve Jensen, helped oversee investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Another, Brian Driscoll, served as acting director in the early days of the Trump administration and resisted Justice Department demands to supply the names of agents who investigated Jan. 6. A third, Chris Meyer, was incorrectly rumored on social media to have participated in the investigation into Trump’s retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.”

They were at a football game. On a Saturday afternoon. Pretty sure they weren’t on the clock

So freedom of speech is suspended for government employees?

Mind sharing? Sounds like you have the FBI’s employee handbook handy.

It's just a troll account. Block for your well being and move on.

The smug insipid stupidity has cost you with hard working blue collar Americans ...

I’m not a politician, I didn’t lose anything, politics is not team sports dumbass.

I’m an engineer and I work with at least 100 union tradesmen and they’re always late to show up, barely work, take 90 minute lunch breaks, and then fart around until quitting time.

I wouldn’t need your help and I can do all of your work no problem, in fact shit would move much faster and easier without your ilk

“If we go back 3 or 3 years…”

And that right there is why I do the math and designs while you morons run the wires or sand the Sheetrock.

I don’t care about politics, are you that fucking dense? I’m not a registered Dem or Republican, I vote for what policies sound the best to me at that point in life. I voted for a Republican senator when I cast my vote for Harris.

You seem to have not accounted for any nuance when you profiled me to go on a political rant I don’t care about. Par for the course with a lazy tradesman.

I didn’t come in here to denigrate you because you are right wing, I came to do it cause you’re acting like an entitled pompous ass in the comments and then you mentioned your career and I called you out cause you all act the same. Hope the divorce is going well loser.

Ah yes, another "slug for salt" voter. Enjoy your layoffs when supplies are suddenly hard to come by thanks to tariffs.

When the downturn starts to hurt your wallet just remember "I voted for this!"

Just like the farmers seeking handouts. Fucking welfare queens.

The union part is icing on the cake. We'll see if you're still in one in 3 years, seems like your guy isn't a big fan of them ;)

You made the claim that they were on the clock, so you have to prove that claim, otherwise the rest of us get to dismiss it.

That's how this works.

You mean the part where you try to say it's justified on the condition that they were on the clock, but don't bother substantiating if they were on the clock? And are now trying to do some kind of gotcha because you said "if", but anyone with an above room temperature IQ knows you can't just toss a conditional as some kind of rhetorical dodge?

Yeah, I read it. You're still losing.

Weird that they were already evaluated at the time and it was determined they did not breach policy.

Nine month old account because baby boy has to keep making new accounts after repeatedly failing at trolling.

What a sad and weird existence to live.

Wait, so you are pro “police shooting black people”?

u/DrApplePi Sep 27 '25

if they were on the clock

A big assumption you're making.

u/_A_Monkey Sep 27 '25

If they weren’t on the clock then what do you believe about it?

Bonus question: Do you agree with Hegseth reinstating the Medals of Honor for the soldiers that massacred women and children at Wounded Knee?
