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.

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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..

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.
