The factory worker is right. I do care more about the environment than his inability to evolve and find another way to put food on the table.

it's everyone's individual responsibility to not get sick duh

lol freedom and healthcare

fat trump voters are gonna love the freedom of insurance companies to tell them to **** off and die

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL



Even if that is true, Trump has nothing to do with it.

Good old adios in P7 thrad.

Right.

Lol and you think Yoda memes are going to change my mind?

I think it means you have to succeed enough to afford your very expensive health insurance premiums. Otherwise you're screwed.

I'd love to see the examples of large groups of white men that do very mean, incredibly stupid, and disrespectful things to a black man in order to discredit him that have nothing to do with racism.

No wonder they had to remove analogies from the SAT.

Likelihood Lestat just weasels out and not mentions the birther movement again?

I have one! Miloedophilia::Racism:lynching.

Nice.

Seriously, I do care actually care about the factory worker, but I also think that it would be better to invest in alternative energy for both the country and that factory worker - there should be training programs for these people to help them switch over to a non-dying industry. Supporting coal mining is not going to solve the problem.

Good call, someone being born in a foreign country to American parents is in no way analogous to the idea of someone else being born in a foreign country to one American parent.

How utterly foolish of me.

Doubt anyone was touting how great their factory jobs were when they were around - people are just being idealistic about the past. The goal should be finding work/training for those people that is practical in the modern world and economy. Factory jobs in the future will be highly automated and require college-educated people to keep them running, not low-skill grunts. On the other hand do we ever have too many contractors, handymen, mechanics, plumbers, etc? My fridge sounds like it is going to explode and I can't find anyone to come out same day and look at it.

Amazing

This is pretty meh. Owning any sort of foreign property can disqualify you from obtaining a security clearance. As can having a dual citizen spouse, living with a person who uses medical marijuana, and having financial trouble after **** like losing a job during the recession.

The haze of nostalgia had allowed me to forget what a horrible poster Taso was. That situation has been remedied.

The not having clearance doesn't bother me, it's that the guys were 10 steps ahead of where they should have been. They should have been vetted and had a check before all this so that all that could been taken care of behind the scenes and the publicity avoided.

i met a Lebanese woman today who was pro trump. was really eye opening. she's very Christian so by the end i could see how she got there. but man, talk about not knowing your enemy.

I browsed the replies and there was literally one person not questioning that "individual responsibility" line. Funny enough the one person was complaining about their dad's deductible under Obamacare recently had a quadruple bypass. I don't know how they could look at Pence's statement and think it is going to be cheaper for their dad.

One of the best parts of whenever Sklansky decides to give a stealth right wing talking point by way of logic lesson he ****s up the logic like half the time.

Lestat- Hey man so I guess you've made no ****ing progress whatsoever on being less racist, cool.

Where are you on the honesty issue?

That's not the way the process works for anybody. You fill out your clearance paperwork. Your local organization (this case the white house) grants or denies an interim clearance (you can have limited access at this point), then the department gets a cut (OPM?) and can continue the interim clearance or pull it, then the clearance adjudicators make the final call once the investigation is complete. To make it worse, all of this is subjective and nobody uses identical criteria in making the call on who does or doesn't get an interim/final clearance.

To put it another way, completely standard **** for all civil service security positions.
