Dec 2016

We've had a few incidents with the few Trumpeteers here at work being called in for disciplinary actions. One who made blatantly homophobic remarks towards a co-worker was forgiven, admonished and told never to pull that shit again. Another... however... truly cut loose with comments towards (anyone who wasn't white, hetero or republican) about their pending deportations was dismissed. Another contract worker who has continually hinted to racist and Christian-supremacist views will soon be leaving.
I'll be glad when that one hits the door too. All three of the above are hand wringing, relishing in having their deplorable viewpoints validated by the election. False equivalencies abound comparing the rest of us (practically all democrat) with the disappointments they suffered when Grandpa Jones and Mitt Money lost. I still must endure some "my confabulations are as good as your facts" echoing of the latest Fox News pile of crap.
But most of all, how foolish any of them are to truly believe the politicians display Christianity altruistically.
