So this is where we are. You are not allowed to tell a joke, even a private joke ,about any liberal or leftist sacred cow ,such as transgender people.

Somebody once said something,to paraphrase, that you know who controls you by knowing who you are not allowed to tell jokes about.

The leftists have great power in this country.

F that.

“He should have known better”. Yeah, having your own opinion is just way, way over the line. Resigning is the worst thing anyone can do.

Are we sure this guy is a republican? Smells like an op.

Amen. People need spines. How was he "forced" to step down?
CM Hall, a city councillor and LGBTQ activist, said the memes were “punching down” and “further marginalising the marginalised” communities. “It’s contributing to harm and division,” she said, adding that she was “embarrassed by the Mayor’s hurtful online comments and mockery.”
The REAL "harm and division" to all of us is that caused by the insane Alphabet Squad.

My opinion of social media is on the harsh side ie social media is for folks who doubt their own self worth, people who need affirmation from strangers to feel complete. Now I make exceptions for folks who use social media only to keep up with friends and family.

Having said that I ask: when will people who public positions of any kind realize that social media should be used only to announce your run for office, when your next speech will be, and to announce that you are quitting public service. Nothing else should be announced, commented upon, or discussed on social media.

Period.

Why apologize? Tell the joke over and over on the news, and to friends and enemies. Bud Light is Tranny fluid, that is a good one.

The decision is easy, since the alternative may be getting fired.

I can't believe there are Freepers arguing in this thread about "public vs. private" spaces on Facebook.

Any Freeper on Facebook is a [ epithet ] fool who needs to be [ epithet ] [ epithet ] immediately. You are the product on Facebook, old fool.

I don't think he should have stepped down.

I agree; that’s ridiculous.

Those ghouls laugh at jokes about Trump’s severed head and killing all white people and they think it’s OK.

Calling Bud Light “Tranny Fluid” is funny and one should never apologize for offending the perpetually offended, thin-skinned leftists.

Was he not elected? Or was he selected?
Stand up and fight...force their hands.

Of course there is nothing to keep it private. The point is he posted on private and should never have even apologized let alone resign. No courage, none. That kind of weak capitulation hurts everyone

I don’t know if you’re attacking me or supporting.

But the point is, there are “private” groups where the posting only appears and cannot be seen unless you are an accepted member of that group.

HOWEVER, you can take a posting from that group and post it for anyone who is connected to YOU (“friends”) to see (“sharing”). You can be a “private” person or a “public” person, but that doesn’t matter if one of your “friends” doesn’t like it or further shares this “offensive” material.

Bottom line, “privacy” is pretty thin on FB, but technically it exists. But it’s thin because you can share things around so that someone finds out who doesn’t like it.

what is foolish is to think they by resigning will change anything. He will still get harassed anyway, it won’t buy him nothing.
