so, two rational conclusions here:
if he illegally fired you, you were not fired. show up to your job, sue when they don't pay you.
OR
laws are bullshit. grab a gun and find a nazi to point it at.
100%!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently.
What you say is completely constitutional, but not legal. Laws are only here to maintain control, the constitution is more abstract.
I really don't vibe with the constitution being special. it's just some shit some assholes agreed on 250 years ago. doesn't even fully prohibit slavery.
Honestly, that’s fair. AFAIK the founding fathers were mostly capitalists and they made the rules to protect themselves.
That said, I think in the timeline of human history, we’re converging towards better governance and I think the US constitution is largely a step in the right direction.
But also it’s more abstract and if you look at it, it’s not that bad.
I’m not American thought.
The amended version prohibits involuntary servitude except for convicted criminals.
im aware of the exact wording and how it doesn't say 'no slavery ever'.
goddamnit, i start getting hard when i read "rational conclusion" followed by a true statement. you earned my upvote.
Laws are bullshit only for some people.
Which makes them bullshit, no?
I think they're saying that rich people are allowed to break the law.
Biden: "I can't fire a postmaster general who actively tried to sabotage the election against me in 2020 because it would be against the law."
Trump: " I fired someone who SCOTUS directly said i can't fire because some people openly bribed me"
Biden then preceded to fill the open slots on DeJoys board with DeJoy supporters btw.
Hey at least they have the moral high ground - they'll have a good view watching the country sink into fascism from up there
This makes no sense unless he can't get his own people on the FTC or the FTC Republicans aren't amenable to his agenda. It's a bipartisan agency and the head leaving earlier left a spot open to swing the 5 person board to the Republicans.
I don't understand why the Fuhrer voted himself additional emergency powers, he should have as much power as he needs as chancellor of the reichstag?
Stop making sense. I want to go back to the 90s when such an idea was laughable.
While we cannot go back, what we can do is go forwards.
Why are you still expecting nuance? They're Democrats and haven't kissed his ass yet. That means they're on the chopping block.
Most blatantly and openly venal miserable and horrible attempt at an "administration" in the last 60yrs... Likely in US history.
Helluva legacy for you Chump! Good one!
🙄 🙄 🖕 🖕 🖕
All that he's missing is a war America is involved in, not related to the trade tariffs. We'll find out which country he wants to go to war with soon.
guns
What I don't understand is, in what sense did he actually fire you? It's illegal. Just show up to work anyways.
If the security team and the operations team are willing to obey the order and revoke access then the illegal firing is very much effective.
The jackboot thugs that work security for these government agencies have repeatedly demonstrated that they're happy to listen to the children running DOGE over the members of the agency that they're supposed to be securing, so at that point what do you expect one of these beaurocrats to do? Get into a fist fight with all the mall cops that are itching to serve the fascists?
administration fears accountability
Pfffft. That is so fucking bullshit. No they don't. They don't fear accountability or responsibility. This administration is lead by a 34-count convicted felon/rapist, a two-time impeached, failed businessman of a crook. What the fuck does he have to lose in terms of credibility that makes him think twice of the actions he's done?
Just illegal, fascist things.
Woke: Get illegally fired and act like you were fired illegally. Keep going to work. Let security block your entry. Argue that you still work there because the order to fire you was illegal. When you're arrested, take the matter to court and get legal standing on the fact that your firing was illegal.
Broke: Get illegally fired and whine on social media about it.
I'm sure going into the FTC, swiping their security fob and having it deny them entry would be a huge boon for their cause. If they're asked to leave by security and they don't they can be legally arrested for trespassing.
The same afternoon she was dismissed, Slaughter is out with an official statement and on the phone to multiple press agencies to get the story out immediately. Sure sounds like someone taking action to me. No doubt she will take them to court (likely the other guy will join her) but that doesn't happen overnight, this was literally yesterday - best lawyer in the world would struggle to have an actionable case ready yet.
You'll note that none of the above can be done if you're still under arrest for trespass..

ftc, jfc.
Hey bud, FTC, not FCC. Both woulf be bad but this might be worse.
FTC website (current 20250319)
The Commission is headed by five Commissioners, nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, each serving a seven-year term. No more than three Commissioners can be of the same political party. The President chooses one Commissioner to act as Chair.
FTC website (current 20250319)
The FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection stops unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices by collecting reports from consumers and conducting investigations, suing companies and people that break the law, developing rules to maintain a fair marketplace, and educating consumers and businesses about their rights and responsibilities.
