blurnette989 shared this in last week's thread this morning but it should be seen here too. @ TorEkelandPC: My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some things of those things #Thread

The Washington Post editorial board ran an editorial today saying we should let Trump officials eat in peace. To that I say: fuck off, Washington Post editorial board. Thats the narrative I'm seeing on CNN as well and how Maxine Waters is 'out of line' with her 'diatribe' over the weekend that it does no good to appear like them. And to that I say, I'm tired of being walked all over, I'm tired of being the nice guy. so yeah they can all fuck off with that.

I see both sides - like the whole sinking to their level thing, but honestly people on the left and even those who are more centrist and don’t agree with this shit are sick and tired of being polite. A lot of people have had their daily lives fucked with because of the Trump admin, so they should have a taste of their own medicine because the shit they are doing is abhorrent.

Refusing to serve people is listed as an example as one of the acts of resistance in that tweet above. The tweet is life.

Pharmacist refused to sell prescription to woman because it violated her ethical beliefs. This is getting out of hand.

That right stops the moment you interfere with someone else’s life. The pharmacist, instead of being a righteous ass, should have had another pharmacist or the manager hand it to her.

I don’t think you should work in a profession where you are unable to fulfill all job requirements, barring a disability. Mike Pence Jr needs to find a new line of work. And after reading their statement, Walgreens can pound sand.
I can’t imagine what that poor woman went through and to be humiliated, shamed, and denied medication on top of it...just fuck that.

Trump is in my state campaigning for Henry McMaster for governor in SC, who was one of the first public officials to support Trump. He's in a runoff and I think will probably win. We just selected James Smith, an amazing human being, for the Democratic ticket in a landslide primary election. McMaster is pretty divisive and Smith is a good moderate Democrat and could bring us crossover votes. I'm so hoping we can pull off a win. I've gone to some campaign events and plan on volunteering, which I'm super excited about! We need to get SC democrats to understand that their votes matter

My money is on human shield from HHS or ORR to show us pretty pictures of the refugee "summer camps." The press have proven they won't treat Secretary Nielsen with kid gloves. I don't think we'll see her again for a while.

Why are we talking about civility dying when the left FINALLY grows a spine and starts standing up? This is really pissing me off.
Sarah was judged on her character content. Not her skin color, not her religion, not her sexual orientation.
Why are the liberals always being called snowflakes, we've spent the last TWO fucking years listening to 'lock her up' 'bleeding from where ever' 'i moved on her like a bitch' 'VERY FINE PEOPLE' calling NFL players "sons of bitches" every time we've said whoa whoa whoa thats not cool, we're told we're too sensitive, we can't handle it, stop being so PC.
Enough, apparently the only thing that base hears is the most basest coarsest words and if we have to sink to their level, so be it. I feel like we've been fighting a fire with a squirt gun and its time for a deluge.

I was just coming to post about this, specifically Nikki Haley's reaction. "The Trump administration has slammed the UN report, arguing the organization should instead focus on poverty in the third world." "It is patently ridiculous for the United Nations to examine poverty in America."-NH In other words, SHUSH UN! Don't you dare point out that our "tax cuts" are bullshit and brown people face economic challenges at a disproportionate rate.

Local voting question. In our primary, there are 7 people running for 6 judgeships. (Sucks for the 1 odd person out!) If you've voted for judges before (I haven't in recent memory) how do you go about choosing?

It depends on the state. In some states, it's perfectly legal. I still don't understand how it can be your religious view to not end a pregnancy where the fetus has already died. What exactly are your religious beliefs? Women deserve to die of secondary infection b/c they had the temerity to miscarry? Right? WTF do they suggest as an alternative?? Damn.

I found this a rather eye opening/illuminating/borderline shocking read. "Still, in conversations with political allies, Obama insists that today’s domestic mess is a blip on the long arc of history and argues that his own work must be focused on progress over time — specifically on empowering a new generation of leaders." nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/06/where-is-barack-obama.html

If you've voted for judges before (I haven't in recent memory) how do you go about choosing? I have not had to vote for a judge (I don't think), but I would assume they would all have a website or facebook page with information about them and their record. I would start there and tackle it like any other politic race.

I don't think pharmacists have access to the reasons behind the prescriptions, just the medicine and quantity requested. So when they are refusing to give certain pills, it's because they are making judgments based on their own worldview rather than a medical perspective. A person should not have to explain why their medicine is needed, it is private. Just fill the damn prescription and do your job.
