so, two rational conclusions here:
if he illegally fired you, you were not fired. show up to your job, sue when they don't pay you.
OR
laws are bullshit. grab a gun and find a nazi to point it at.
goddamnit, i start getting hard when i read "rational conclusion" followed by a true statement. you earned my upvote.
100%!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently.
What you say is completely constitutional, but not legal. Laws are only here to maintain control, the constitution is more abstract.
I really don't vibe with the constitution being special. it's just some shit some assholes agreed on 250 years ago. doesn't even fully prohibit slavery.
Honestly, that’s fair. AFAIK the founding fathers were mostly capitalists and they made the rules to protect themselves.
That said, I think in the timeline of human history, we’re converging towards better governance and I think the US constitution is largely a step in the right direction.
But also it’s more abstract and if you look at it, it’s not that bad.
I’m not American thought.
it's really not a great document, and the good parts have only ever been used as toilet paper or cumsocks.
I’m interested in learning more about your perspective
I went outside once. that was pretty formative. what more is there to know?
Oh I see, you’re just a useless angry person. Carry on.
The amended version prohibits involuntary servitude except for convicted criminals.
im aware of the exact wording and how it doesn't say 'no slavery ever'.
Laws are bullshit only for some people.
Which makes them bullshit, no?
I think they're saying that rich people are allowed to break the law.
I agree. It’s just a matter of semantics.
The point is, if you break the law you will get the whole slew of consequences, if they do it they will get jack shit.
I know.
Edit: Oh you’re the op of this comment. I think we’re in agreement
so laws are bullshit, and it's just a man pointing a gun at you.
it's just whatever he wants; the rhetoric of noncompliance with written laws is just an excuse to get people to not help and overwhelm the fucker.

This makes no sense unless he can't get his own people on the FTC or the FTC Republicans aren't amenable to his agenda. It's a bipartisan agency and the head leaving earlier left a spot open to swing the 5 person board to the Republicans.
I don't understand why the Fuhrer voted himself additional emergency powers, he should have as much power as he needs as chancellor of the reichstag?
Stop making sense. I want to go back to the 90s when such an idea was laughable.
While we cannot go back, what we can do is go forwards.
Why are you still expecting nuance? They're Democrats and haven't kissed his ass yet. That means they're on the chopping block.
Entirely possible with this asshole. And with more coffee on board it strikes me that making the FTC unable to function at all may be the goal.
Biden: "I can't fire a postmaster general who actively tried to sabotage the election against me in 2020 because it would be against the law."
Trump: " I fired someone who SCOTUS directly said i can't fire because some people openly bribed me"
Biden then preceded to fill the open slots on DeJoys board with DeJoy supporters btw.
Hey at least they have the moral high ground - they'll have a good view watching the country sink into fascism from up there
Or Biden and the 10k$ of student debt - which he buckled on basically immediately. Handouts to donors are okay, helping Americans isn’t.
This is a perfect example of why refuting bullshit is so much harder than generating it or spreading it.
The Biden admin tried several times to forgive debt and was stopped by every republican and finally the Supreme Court. They didn't drop it, they were forced to stop by Republicans after repeated attempts. If they didn't find a legal path to forgiveness, it could be clawed back easily in the future.
The Trump administration can do whatever the fuck it wants right now because Republicans are letting them with their overall majority.
Trump Dum
Most blatantly and openly venal miserable and horrible attempt at an "administration" in the last 60yrs... Likely in US history.
Helluva legacy for you Chump! Good one!
🙄 🙄 🖕 🖕 🖕
What I don't understand is, in what sense did he actually fire you? It's illegal. Just show up to work anyways.
If the security team and the operations team are willing to obey the order and revoke access then the illegal firing is very much effective.
The jackboot thugs that work security for these government agencies have repeatedly demonstrated that they're happy to listen to the children running DOGE over the members of the agency that they're supposed to be securing, so at that point what do you expect one of these beaurocrats to do? Get into a fist fight with all the mall cops that are itching to serve the fascists?
