But a “Rape Melania” sign is perfectly okay (and buried by the media)
I only use "Mrs Don-o" here at FR and noplace else. I googled "Mrs Don-o" and fund several left-wing websites where they commented on, and of course mocked, my FR posts. At one of them I found somebody had gotten my real name. gone to my Facebook page, and gotten my picture and all kinds of personal info, not just about but about my husband, kids, and other relatives.
I have since closed my Facebook account.
There is no freedom of speech on social media. You can and will be held accountable for anything you post. For example, I can no longer post any sentiments about my belief that homosexual marriage is wrong. I would probably be fired from my job if I did.
Unfortunately, there is a double standard for libs. And I saw quite a few Youtube after the election videos, and a lot of blacks were using the n word. So there is a melatonin double standard, too.
What she do on her own time is her business. I think she should sue them.
Plus like a freeper said yesterday she looks like an NFL Linebacker in heals.
Yes a stupid comment. Everyone knows that Sasquatch is NOT an ape.
“Ape in heels.” Are the employers sure the woman was referring to Michele?
thanks for posting this
sad people still talk that way, I think she’s been a good First Lady. Don’t like her husband or his policies, but there is no reason to say such awful things. Bad form.
I guarantee if you threaten your boss with serious bodily harm you will not get 3 warnings.
Basically you do not crap where you eat!
I am in an undisclosed building deep behind enemy lines here.
They LOVE BARKY without exception. I need to work another 5 years to retire. I stay quiet in the office. NOT EASY!
Its none of my beezwax if their ideology is wrong. Not my problem!
There was a FB thread on the FR page a few years ago, asking for everyone to post their FR name. I think it was done for fun, but I felt really leery and didn’t take the bait.
A lot of Freepers were exposed through that. The anti-FR pages have mentioned that FB post and have used it against us.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS...
Wow! Clay, West Virginia with a population in 2010 listed as
491 becomes the source of a mouse roar which grabs the attention today of the PC media which forever looks for a tidbit to cause the zebras to tremble.
She should be fired.
It is people like her that make our jobs as conservatives that much harder.
We are looked at as nothing less than carbon copies of her.
fwiw:
Rankin v. McPherson
483 U.S. 378 (1987)
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/483/378/case.html
Syllabus
Respondent, a data-entry employee in a county Constable’s office, was discharged for remarking to a coworker, after hearing of an attempt on the President’s life, “if they go for him again, I hope they get him.” Respondent was not a commissioned peace officer, did not wear a uniform, was not authorized to make arrests or permitted to carry a gun, and was not brought by virtue of her job into contact with the public. Her duties were purely clerical, were limited solely to the civil process function of the Constable’s office, and did not involve her in the office’s minimal law enforcement activity. Her statement was made during a private conversation in a room not readily accessible to the public. The Constable fired petitioner because of the statement. She then brought suit in the Federal District Court under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that her discharge violated her First Amendment right to free speech under color of state law. The court upheld the discharge, but the Court of Appeals vacated and remanded, whereupon the District Court again ruled against respondent. However, the Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for determination of an appropriate remedy, holding that respondent’s remark had addressed a matter of public concern, and that the governmental interest in maintaining efficiency and discipline in the workplace did not outweigh society’s First Amendment interest in protecting respondent’s speech.
Held: Respondent’s discharge violated her First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Pp. 483 U. S. 383-392.
“There is zero anonymity behind a made up posting name!”
That’s why mine isn’t made up. I’ll never take anonymity for granted.
I’m surprised you think she has been a good first lady. She has done nothing to help the American people except to try to force her vision of healthy food on us.
She said the first time she had been proud of the US was when zero got the nomination.
She went on numerous expensive trips with a huge entourage, spending millions while our debt soared. She appeared to have a Marie Antoinette attitude toward the citizens.
She is loathsome.
I hope she’ll find a job soon in a booming economy.
Yep, especially because the statement wasn’t made in the work environment at all. This firing of people for something they said on their own time, and not as representatives of the employer, is insanity. It might be reasonable for some public representative of a company, who is representing the company’s “brand” 24/7, but not for run-of-the-mill employees.
