Saw the headline and thought maybe someone there wrote an article favorable to America.

These days, it could be something as innocuous as “I really like your new haircut.” or “Thats a nice dress you are wearing today.” And it doesn’t have to be the recipient of the compliments who complained, either. If somebody nearby overheard it and was offended, that’s enough for HR to give you a walloping.

“Washington Post suspends reporter for inappropriate conduct”

my first thought was that he wasn’t writing enough anti-Trump articles every week.

Sure it can, but the “girl Friday” would have to be “transgender” and all.

"Gosh, he must be a Trump supporter."

If he was a Trump supporter he wouldn't have been working there.

And he wouldn't have been suspended, he would've been fired.
