it's unconscionable but then this is nothing new considering-----> it's governor Snyder we are talking about..it makes me want to scream but this wouldn't do any good..people have to learn to become politically active or lose their ability to protect themselves. They need to become dynamic in proactive political involvement instead of victims. It's unfair that they have to get out of their comfort zone and diligently promote democracy and democrats but that is what is required at this point. ie Flint did not come out and campaign and vote for Hillary. If they had voted and promoted she would have won Michigan and she would have carried that state and possibly gave that awful governor reason to fear their clout.

It is not ok to throw a coworker under the bus. I found out yesterday that another cna tried to get me fired. Well, Karma got her instead.

Zimmeh

It's not Ok..
 

that he's still lying and getting away with it. His policies will at some point tank the economy and we will be paying $3.00 or more for gas, more for food and necessities, increase the national debt, recession, unemployment and possibly the privatization of Medicare.

WHY is it unfair that they have to get out of their comfort zone and diligently promote democracy and Democrats? Who exactly is going to do it for them? They should have been screaming bloody murder and still be screaming bloody murder. There are no tooth fairies.

First class taught in public schools should be: how to figure out when you're being lied to and used.

Second class should be: in not waiting around benignly to get helped when you know you're being fucked ( or even remotely suspect it).

Third class should be in: not being afraid of those tin pot creeps that rule you. When the masses get big enough the monsters inevitably crumble into dried piles of dung.

But you must have courage and you must not completely rely on someone else to do it for you.

New to North America but not so foreign in the rest of the world: By the age of 10 or 12, you really should know how to survive even if it isn't pretty.

I think we in America think good will prevail..it's typically something those with white priviledge have taken for granted for years..when you are brown unless you are lucky enough to be raised in a family with affluence you don't have that sense of safety and fairness..Yes, I know we elected a black president but that hardly means racism is dead..and brown people although happy about Obama's election did not realize much of a boost in upward mobility. Most of the poor stayed poor or even became poorer..There are many reasons why brown people do not feel empowered, education is the first hurdle many cannot overcome, and the second the experience of daily racism in the South and even the North etc. I won't go into the whys because it's not something white people will really understand on a granular level..However, I will say when faced with day to day racism you usually choose between becoming militant or go quiet. Whatever you choose things will not change so why should they vote? Police brutality is rampant and nobody cares enough to do something about it, except young people and they are not in power. Also Republicans have gone out of their way to suppress the vote of minorities by making it difficult to register. Right now they have the upper hand, but at some point in the next 10 years (if we don't manage to blow ourselves up or wreck the planet) brown people will outnumber whites and there will be a reckoning and my guess is, it won't be pretty. I was being a little sarcastic because those on the democratic side have an advantage and have won two of the last three elections so their lack of enthusiasm is obvious..and I believe felt by minorities even more so...It's easy to preach about why not get active when you have never had to struggle on a visceral level just to survive..you take it for granted you will..if you're brown you never can relax there is always something lurking to bring you down, voting seems pretty minor in comparison.. Also to date brown people have never equated voting with surviving..we are too busy raising and trying to make sure our kids get an education, have enough food on the table and are not shot by police..That's reality for a great many brown moms.

Not OK for.........
 

These sport athletes, who continuously told lie after lie only to be proven, to be rewarded weather with big jobs or endorsement deals!

Pete Rose, Alex Rodigues, Tom Brady, the list goes on and on!

I believe in giving someone a second chance, but with these sports figures who had more than ample opportunities to step up and take responsibility and didn't, then only to score jobs as commentators or pitch men, just has me shaking my head!

True enough, Kitty. However, unless I'm completely mistaken"movements" for any sort of equality or fairness rarely if ever rise from the "bottom" up. Perhaps, it is, as you say, people there don't have the spare time . Thing is, you don't have to organise and lead, you just have to allow yourself to get angry enough to join. So far, the anger seems far too directed at those who didn't do enough for people...it does not work that way and never has.

Appreciate the organisers, even if some are White, middle-class and have never suffered any hardship , cause frankly, in this venal world, they're amongst the very few who give a shit. And most of them really are prepared to die for human rights and equality. That IS who is yelling at the top of the barricade.

This really resonates with me now that the election is over. I cannot stand the people who are so incensed with Trump winning, but who just sit back in their "armchairs" and whine and do nothing about it. They claim to be in such despair about the injustices that will be infiltrating their lives but don't get involved in working on a solution. Sitting around behind a screen all day, whether it is a computer and/or television, railing against the system, focusing only on how the election was lost rather on what to do next. Fight back for fucks sake. Join, volunteer, be active. Become a part of the solution. Stop being fucking passive.Ugh. Take the time you spend bitching and moaning and dissecting a done for now deal, and help those, including yourselves, who are being directly affected EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

If you are going to act like you really give a shit, actively give a shit and be the difference you want to see rather than expect others to do it for you.

It's not OK...
 

For Republican & Democrat lawmakers to avoid any kind of meetings, be it town hall-style events or what-have you, to engage with their constituents. Some have cancelled previously scheduled meetings, while some haven't had the common courtesy to show up only sending their aids to "take notes" and pay lip service!

Face these constituents and explain why you endorsed the likes of Jeff Sessions and others. Us voters are angry and understandably! You may be able to hide but come midterms you'll be sorry...

I hate to keep harping on this subject but ......

Why does Congress get so much vacation? To supposedly meet with their constituents!

Depending on how safe their seat is and the proximity of the next election members better spend some portion of their recess attending town halls, meeting with community leaders, or visiting local haunts to take their district's temperature instead of dodging them.

They better pay attention as more voters temperatures as well as tempers are on the rise!

It is not okay for these obnoxiously high paid football players to get off so light on horrible crimes just because America loves football.

If I had been the one to decide Michael Vick's fate after he was found guilty, his football playing days would never have escalated above backyard football ... that is if he could still play when he was released from prison at 85 years old.

Vick was in the news recently. There were also photos of his canine victims. I cannot get that photo of the white pitbull hanging. He had tied up her legs, she was balled up, gritting her teeth... just trying to continue to live. I wanted to kill him all over again.

I don't have anything to say to anyone here or anywhere who defends him by stating he has done his time.

Rock On.....I couldn't agree more!

Earlier I posted in the thread how disgraced athletics were rewarded with big job deals as commentators.....

Joni Ernst......
 

It's not OK to flee your Town Hall Meeting......


During her run for congress she was rough and tough bragging about growing up on a farm in Iowa castrating hogs! When it came to facing her constituents, not so much!

Washington Repersenative Dave Reichert
 

It's not OK to hide....come out come out wherever you are

Earlier this week when I saw Dave Reichert being interviewed by a local Seattle station he made the comment that he was not going to be "bullied or intimated" into holding a town hall meeting. TODAY Thursday he seemed to changed that during his Facebook interview to concerns of "safety issues" surrounding town hall meetings.

Perhaps he realized that calling the people who elected him into office bullies and intimidators wasn't the wisest thing to say?

it's not ok...
 

that White House banned CNN, Politico, and New York Times from Today's Photo Shoot...however,

it's very ok that Associated Press and Time walked out and refused to participate because of White House ban..

UPDATE: Gov. Robert Bentley resigned Monday 4/10/2017 rather than face impeachment and pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor campaign violations that arose during an investigation of his alleged affair with a top aide.
In a remarkable fall, the mild-mannered 74-year-old Republican and one-time Baptist deacon stepped down as the sex-tinged scandal gathered force over the past few days.

A plea agreement specified that Bentley must surrender campaign funds totaling nearly $37,000 within a week and perform 100 hours of community service as a physician. The dermatologist also cannot seek public office again.

Steve Harvey it's not OK to just fire off a terse email/memo to your staff who helped make your show a success!

At the very least couldn't you of just sat down with your staff and given them reasons why you wanted to change your "open door policy"?

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back.
I’d like you all to review and adhere to the following notes and rules for Season 5 of my talk show.
There will be no meetings in my dressing room. No stopping by or popping in. NO ONE.
Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.
Do not open my dressing room door. IF YOU OPEN MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED.
My security team will stop everyone from standing at my door who have the intent to see or speak to me.
I want all the ambushing to stop now. That includes TV staff.
You must schedule an appointment.
I have been taken advantage of by my lenient policy in the past. This ends now. NO MORE.
Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly. Either knock or use the doorbell.
I am seeking more free time for me throughout the day.
Do not wait in any hallway to speak to me. I hate being ambushed. Please make an appointment.
I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me.
If you’re reading this, yes, I mean you.
Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.
Thank you all,
Steve Harvey

It's not ok to look like a cute little pixie who's grown up, and be so racist, bigoted, homophobic, and anti-Semitic.

Jeff Sessions looks like a little kid who happened to have aged prematurely. His eyes stare like a kid, and he rocks back and forth like he needs to pee.

Why does he have to espouse such xenophobic beliefs?

He'd be such a cute little old man if I didn't know what he stood for...sad.

It's not okay to use the bible for justifying a biggoted mind against anything of anormal in your book

It's not OK to put millions of Americans at risk of Nuclear Alienation just to win a pissing contest!

To my mind, it isn't Ok to use a book, a creation of fallible human beings, claim that it is the word of God, and then use that as an attempt to justify bigotry. There is so much wrong with that chain of thinking that it boggles my mind that anybody could be eitehr stupid, uncritical or illogical enough to castigate others with an argument based on such ridiculously shaky ground.

Laughing so hard at cathexis' pixie description of Jeff Sessions, this is both funny and true! Good one! LOL!
:)

It's not OK for various news media to imply that Melania Trump wore five-inch stilettos to view flood zone areas of Texas!

She wore them as she boarded Air Force One yes, but she wore a pair of white sensible sneakers that were clearly visible once they arrived .......


Hey, I hate to say "fake news" BUT if the shoe fits.........no pun intended


I am NOT a Trump supporter NOR did I vote for Trump but.. what's right is right!

It's not ok to make more laws that take away your freedom to purchase firearms.If you feel the need to own a gun,then you should be able to go buy one legally without all the bullshit paperwork and waiting that comes along.

If you need it today you should be able to walk out with one,today.

I want a powerful rocket launcher.I know where to get one, but unfortunately it would be against the law.

:olive:

Lena Dunham..........it's not OK for you to cast doubt on accusations made by women who claim to have been sexually assaulted or claimed misconduct against them!


I know you have since apologized but please please think before you run your mouth off the next time!

This is the ONE time we as women MUST stick together!

Ryan Seacrest..........
 

It's not OK to use a personal tax free foundation to pay family members salaries with! Perhaps the Clinton might get away with it, but you my friend will not!


As for the sexual misconduct charges, seeing you've always had such a squeaky clean image, take a page out of Al Franken's book and apologize if it's true! Now is the time to fess up not stonewall!

John Lasseter..........
 

It's NOT OK for you to slink off and take a "Leave of Absence" ! Stay and face the music you bast*$d.........

Charlie Rose..............
 

It's NOT OK to respond that you were “deeply embarrassed” and apologized for behaving insensitive at times, then in the next breathe turn around and claim that all of these allegations are inaccurate. IMHO the only reason you're embarrassed is because your despicable behaviors have came to light!


And for you statement "I always felt I was pursuing shared feelings, even though I now realize I was mistaken.” BULLSHIT!!! One certainly knows when one's feelings are returned and when they aren't!

SNL Women Cast Members...........
 

After reading your response in defense to Al Franken's groping allegations I couldn't help notice this paragraph...“We feel compelled to stand up for Al Franken, whom we have all had the pleasure of working with over the years on Saturday Night Live (SNL). What Al did was stupid and foolish, and we think it was appropriate for him to apologize to Ms. Tweeden, and to the public,” the women wrote. “In our experience, we know Al as a devoted and dedicated family man, a wonderful comedic performer, and an honorable public servant.”

Well now that the second allegation has arisen, while he was a public servant, what kind of public servant and dedicated family goes around grabbing a woman's ass during a photo opt at a State Fair?

All you sexual harassers and abusers.............
 

It's NOT OK for some of you's to simply plead mea culpa! You owe your victims so much more than that!

And yet more come forward with stories.......

And yet more come forward with stories.........

Mario Batali Out as Co-Host of ‘The Chew’ Amid Sexual Harassment Allegations....why does this NOT surprise me one bit!

Mario Batali, it NOT OK to...........
 

equate sexual harassment with "fun"!

This is just a portion of his lame ass apology!

“I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted. That behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family.
“I have work to do to try to regain the trust of those I have hurt and disappointed. For this reason, I am going to step away from day-to-day operations of my businesses. We built these restaurants so that our guests could have fun and indulge, but I took that too far in my own behavior. I won’t make that mistake again. I want any place I am associated with to feel comfortable and safe for the people who work or dine there.

Why are these assholes never embarrassed by their actions UNTIL they get caught?

It's not okay to let a politician like Senator Franken, who apologized and expressed remorse, resign in disgrace without a second chance.

There's a big difference between an Al Franken and a Roy Moore. I believe that the offense alleged and character of the individual accused should be considered.

Not all "sex crimes" are equal.

If you maintain that they are all equal, then someone convicted of prostitution is in the same category. Point at me too (1977 conviction).

Katie lee gifford...........
 

it's OK you stand by your friend Matt Lauer and even mention on-air the day the news broke that you texted him, "I Adore You" HOWEVER when and if the woman comes forward who blew the whistle on his sordid behavior, I certainly hope and pray you text her the same message!

Having a daughter of your own, you should realize women coming forward to expose these predators lessens the chances of your daughter becoming a victim!

More Mario....weasel
 

In the statement to The Post, Batali said: "I apologize profoundly to the people I have mistreated and hurt. The entire day of events surrounding the party I was the personification of idiocy, a drunken and idiotic fool, with no respect for the staff at Osteria Mozza, the guests nor for the restaurant itself. That behavior was horribly wrong, shameful and degrading and there are no excuses. I wish I could have the day back and do it right. I take full responsibility for my deplorable actions and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or anguish I caused."

Again so contrite when they get caught............

Apple.............
 

Apple it's not OK to try and squeeze every drop of money out of some consumers by slowing down previous iphones therefore forcing customers to upgrade............

November 2, 2017 — Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 fourth quarter ended September 30, 2017. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $52.6 billion, an increase of 12 percent from the year-ago quarter, and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $2.07, up 24 percent. International sales accounted for 62 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

Try treating your customers as well as your treat you stockholders...........

I have an iPhone 5s...should I ever have to buy a new phone it will not be made by Apple. I use things until they die a natural death, my last phone was an lg chocolate phone that I used until it’s speakers went out. Lolololololol
