Even in private industry this happens. I have referred people to companies only to have them tell me they were used for walking dogs, picking up laundry...
It's embarrassing and unprofessional.

Yeah. Well. At Least he didn't use them as Sex Slaves. That should qualify him for some kind of meritorious award. Maybe a trophy or plaque or stone monument like a tombstone. Somewhere soon. Like maybe in a park. Or park like setting.

Well, there will always be jerks. If I'm not happy where I'm working, I don't stay. Occasionally my bosses have "asked" me to run errands. Easy money , and I didn't mind helping out. I have watched kids in my office before while their parent is busy. It's only degrading and unprofessional if it bothers you. If it does, move on.

Does this mean that Conyers now owes his aides reparations?

Isn't Conyers kinda a known Commie?

Of course. He's one of the illustrious Democratic Socialists of America, who are in our Congress. Along with Pelosi, Sanders, Waters, McKinney, and various other usual suspects.

IOW, commies in Congress.

It's okay, Conyers is a Black guy and being a slave made him do it.

Conyers is scum, and it has NOTHING to do with being black, or white or purple, or martian.

DETROIT (AP) - No charges will be filed against City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, the wife of Democratic Rep. John Conyers, over a bar fight, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Conyers and another woman got into a fight in December during a birthday party for a lawyer. The lawyer's date, Rebecca Mews, appeared on television with a black eye and claimed Conyers threw the first punch. Conyers claimed Mews shoved her and she defended herself.

That's okay. Conyers is a Democrat, and Democrats do a lot for the little people, so the little people kinda sorta "owe" them. It all works out.

It'll be another MSM "move along, nothing to see here."

Yes they accuse us of believing/doing all these terrible things, but it is really that they are afraid someone will find out that they believe/do them. It's simple psychology -- they are so worried that someone will find out something bad about them, they fixate it and instead accuse others of doing so. Sort of like the "Don't think of the purple elephant" game/test.
