Plus this whole "thou shalt not flip the bird" policy should be extended to everyone in the company, no? Everyone who has given the finger to anyone in a car should be held to the same standard IMO, lol.Halifax2TheMax said:

Freedom of speech allowed her to flip off the president without government retaliation. It does not protect her from being fired from her company that probably has some sort of integrity rules in their employee handbook. Perfectly legal for them to fire her, just like a school can fire someone for lewd behavior in public.Halifax2TheMax said:

Looks like this now belongs in the idiot thread. Hope it was worth it.stuckinline said:Donald Trump's motorcade departing from the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia had an extra add-on Saturday, after the president spent the 96th day of his presidency visiting one of his own properties. That addition came in the form of a female cyclist, who had one goal in mind: to flip off the president of the United States.
Pool reporters first noticed the cyclist trailing the motorcade before she managed to snake her way next to the president’s car just outside of the Trump National Golf Club. "A female bicyclist along the motorcade route, just outside the golf course, traveling in the right lane repeatedly extended her middle left finger towards POTUS," the pool stated.
The president's car was stopped at a traffic light near the golf course, just about to turn left onto the parkway, when the bicyclist successfully gave the president the middle finger.
Steve Herman, bureau chief of Voice of America News, tweeted the pool reportSaturday, writing "I just saw this happen as we left the Trump golf course in Sterling, Virginia."
For many, the pool report could leave more questions than answers.
Who was this bicyclist? Was she upset about the president’s frequent golfing excursions? Could his travels to the Virginia golf course and the resulting congestion in traffic have ticked her off? Is she one of the majority of Americans who feel Trump is to blame for the dysfunction in Washington?
None of this is clear, except for the cyclist’s intention to give nobody else but Trump the middle finger during his trip home to the White House. Pool reporters have yet to release any footage of the bicyclist’s exchange with the president.
Of the 96 visits Trump has taken to his own properties as president, 76 of those have been to golf clubs. Saturday also marked the second-consecutive weekend he visited the Trump National Golf Course in Virginia. It’s the first time pool reporters have noted a bicyclist has flipped him off as he was visiting, however.

PJPOWER said:
Not defending him, just giving props to the guys that ended the spree. They were the first responders and “most likely” prevented more deaths as he was still shooting at people. I admire citizens that are willing to risk their own safety to stand up and stop a situation like this. Carry on with the Trump ventingThe Juggler said:
He also could have said the shooter's ultimate goal was to drop an atom bomb on San Antonio and he "could" have been right because "in all fairness we do not know exactly what the shithead's ultimate plan was."PJPOWER said:
In all fairness, we do not know exactly what the shithead’s ultimate plan was. It was a town of 400 within a short drive to one of the most populated cities in Texas. I have seen no evidence that he was confined to the town and obviously tried to escape. Trump is a moron, but his statement here “could” be right.HughFreakingDillon said:that idiot also said that if there was no good guy with a gun in Texas that hundreds more would have died. um, the town's population is only hundreds, isn't it? Trump is suggesting he would have wiped out the entire town?
what a fucking moron.
Stop grasping at straws to defend this "fucking moron." Deep down you know it's futile.
Everyone admires them......rational people also want to find ways to prevent the shithead from murdering 26 innocent people in the first place though. Saying "now is not the time" and brushing this off as only a "mental health problem" and only talking about the brave Samaritan who shot the shithead AFTER he killed 26 people does literally nothing to help prevent this from happening again in the very near future.www.myspace.com0 -

I can tell you that the party got off its ass for this election. Over the last week I received about 4 texts and two door knocks (Sat and Sun) making sure we were hitting the polls. I was downtown last night and on several overpasses, there were large groups of people with big light up signs saying "VOTE DEM". You could tell the turnout was going to be strong.Halifax2TheMax said:I guess Hillary fixed Virginia? She and Bill with an assist from Obama.
On another note, my son (15) and two of his friends were supposed to volunteer for Northam today for a school project. Well not surprisingly they fucked that up and didn't get to the training in time. So they went to a polling station and there was a nice guy that worked for a GOP candidate and let them hand out some flyers in a tent even though they didn't train. Long story short, a woman asked them if they were young Republicans and they all said "no, we're actually more Democrats". And the woman proceeded to cuss them out including some some racial overtures and then walked away. They were shocked, particularly because the one kid was black. Anyway, the good news is that he has to write a paper about his experiences so at least he has a decent story now.0 -
Too bad he didn’t film it and post it on YouTube. Either way a good experience in civics for him and hopefully he’ll be engaged going forward, regardless of which party he identifies with. I hope he gets an A on the paper.mrussel1 said:

I hope he turns the fucker in.. He didn't turn in his last 3 homework assignments and went from an A to a B inside of a week. He is currently in my shithouse.Halifax2TheMax said:

It's even better when it's the School Board that's insulting students individually, rather than just a random voter:

Nice to see the teen being more adult about the situation than the adult. And honestly, if I were christian, I would be mightily pissed at this guy for using christianity as the basis for his behaviour.
I probably should have posted that in the Idiot thread.
