What will be interesting when adopted children of homosexuals start suing their adoptive parents. There was some case in the UK where some natural child of a normal couple was suing just for having been born. Just wait until some of these kids get old enough. So what is going to happen and you know it will at some point ?
So barely. Again this is why you shouldn't be on this board. You are just too stupid to be blunt. Gay has nothing to do with anything. No one said his actions were illegal. I said he availed himself of a benefit not available to others. That's not illegal. Fed paternity leave act operates in tandem with the fmla. To be eligible under the fmla you have to first work 12 months. He didn't do that. As a cabinet member he requested permission to take paid paternity leave and was granted same - a benefit not available to any other federal ees. In theory only cabinet members with the temerity to do such a thing. When millions of gov eees can't take paid leave but he does (at $250k) after barely being on the job during the throes of a crisis that falls under his agency it's pathetic.
Go forth and procreate with thyself.
Anyone in America is entitled to that benefit if the person with the power authorized it.
I'm not sure that Trump could have/ would have beaten anyone but Hillery!
Probably would if the CEOS were gay? Lame. I have no idea what CEOs are gay. Don't care. What's more CEOs typically built something. Musk sleeps in his office. Pete stays home. You can't compare Pete to CEOs. Different class. Pete was on the job a few months. And he took a benefit available to none of the other 2 million fed Ees prescribed by law. He had the temerity to ask for it knowing how entitled it would look.
CEOs, our elected officials, our cabinet members ALL get benefits we mortals do not. Trump played golf all the time, all the time, how many factory workers have that benefit? I am not criticizing him for it, just stating it happened. If it made him a better president, great. But dif we are going to be fair, why aren't you complaining he left work early so often while your average clerical worker at DoJ could not?
Because it's apples to oranges. Pete didn't work his way up. Pete didn't win an election. Pete didn't spend 25 years at DOT. He was literally gifted a $250,000 job that he had zero qualifications for and instead of saying "Wow!! I'm so blessed. I'm going to repay the people I am in service to by working around the clock to get us out of this crisis." No. He asked for a benefit that he knows he wasn't eligible for as you have to work a year first, virtue signaled, and went "offline" for a month. What do you think the average joe on the GS at DOT thought of that. There's us and there's them.
For the 50th time he's in gov. I don't care what people contract for in business. That's their business. We aren't paying their salary. They aren't working for nor serving us
I bet that statue covers career workers, the civil service. Pete ain't that. You know that. Political appointees are not covered by a hell of a lot that career employees are covered by. Starting with salary, political appointees do not have the same salary structure. I was just reading an OSHA staffer say if asked to testify at Congress, he had to ask for unpaid leave. Do you think cabinet secretaries don't get paid for their testimony?
That is correct. Cabinet members are separate. Yet he's the head of an agency. Those rules apply to everyone of his employees. Every Federal employee. You'd think based on optics alone he wouldn't ask much less the throes of a crisis
And now you are making the exact same argument as those who said Trump should not be golfing during the COVID crisis.
Trump won an election. He wasn't just gifted a $250,000 job for a guy from South Bend with a bachelor's degree
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. He bilked the people by abandoning a post he was given as much for his sexual orientation as any real qualification, a common theme for this admin….
Is your problem because he is a dem or because he is gay?
Oh my God dumb hickory is back. Name the benefits and cite any and all relevant statutes regarding same. Then name the official who availed himself of it. And make it temporally relevant. Like during a crisis. Go!
This post is an incredible insight into your thought process…or lack thereof.
It's a known fact our former Prez was a habitual liar. But for you to repeat his lies is where I have a problem. There is NO record Trump offered up the National Guard for the Jan. 6th rally/insurrection. And for Trumps inaction the day of the rally/insurrection for him to say Pelosi didn't order in the National Guard the day of is also bullshit. Pelosi has a House Sargent at Arms as well as McConnell. They both share the responsibility equally but in actuality it falls on their underlings as well as the Capital Police. Be careful when you parrot your Cult Leaders statements. They are easy to fact check and it come back to make you look stupid.
The point is not that it would have actually made a difference. The point is what he should have done as President of the United States. He should have made a strong statement discouraging rioting and invading government buildings. As it was, first his silence, and then his soft statement, appeared to give his tacit consent to what the rioters were doing.
Yeah, he only got more votes in 2020 than Obama got, or than any other Republican before him.......
And the older guy still beat him like a rented mule…so badly that he’s still crying.
There is absolutely a record of him offering NG troops, but MSNBC doesn't tell you that, so you remain ignorant.
Don’t be so hyper-partisan. The Abraham Accords was, and is, an achievement. It shouldn’t matter what political team the US guy was on, it’s an American team score.
You couldn’t fly to most countries in the Middle East if you had an Israeli visa stamp in your passport. The Accords were a positive accomplishment and it shouldn’t be discounted because you’re a Democrat.!
I don't know someone else just replied just before you that gives him a run for his money
You seem to be pretty capable at failing, at the very least failing at any sort of rational thinking .
No, I just ignore you asshat. I made a one time exception here . Funny you knew exactky who i meant though.Hey, Douchefish...I thought you ignored my posts.
Your first sentence makes no sense. 🤣
You are correct on this one. Pete, like HRC, practiced “do as I say, not as I do” leadership. It’s why I couldn’t vote for HRC over Trump even though I thought he was unfit. Leadership IS THE most important quality a President needs. Trump and HRC didn’t have it. Sadly, neither does Biden. Maybe the next batch of candidates will have a leader among them.
This is what I’ll never understand about Trump voters . The guy who sits on a golden throne, has never in his life been loyal or gave a rat’s ass about anyone but himself and you think he cared. Let alone understood finance and what’s wrong with America. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
As I said, I’m not that familiar with the Abraham Accords, but I’m pretty familiar in all the areas he was horrendous.
