Today 45 decided that Washington isn't a swamp, it's a sewer. GDI I am personally offended and outraged on behalf of every civil servant here who works hard for this country. Honestly, he disgusts me. That's how I feel whenever anyone says "deep state". Oh, you mean all those individuals working hard at the behest of constitually passed LAWS? In thankless administrative positions? With pay caps? Paid by taxpayer dollars and wholly accountable per FOIA requirements? CONSPIRACY.

Is ignorance a valid excuse in the corporate world?
ETA: I wouldn't know, because I'm a sewer rat public worker. 😒

misspatty I had not heard of pepe the frog until you posted this and googled. At the same time, it's not something I would put on my work computer without knowing what it meant. Maybe she didn't have the most ill intent but at the same time I would be sure of what I was putting out there (work place especially) was not offensive. You did the right thing regardless if she knows or not.

In personal politics news, I walked into work today and noticed a republican coworker had taped a Pepe the Frog to her computer. I spent a while trying to decide if I should report it or not, but eventually did. I wouldn't report a Trump sticker or republican elephant, but it's classified as a hate symbol by the ADL. I hope they make her take it down immediately. Wow. That is intense. I would have reported it as well.

yeah you're a badass for reporting misspatty, now is not the time to let shit slide. I'd have a hard time not being like 'what the fuck' all day, which is not good for workflow.

I want to start my letters to Jared in jail now. Dear Jared, This is why you should not be a douchebag when you get out. Change your life Jared. Here are some Ann Landers clippings I found for you. Love, SB (Yes I know he will probably not go to prison, but if he does I want to write him annoying preachy letters).

Hm. So Grassley is trying to say that he and Feinstein will each be able to ask more questions outside of the time constraints of a public committee hearing? He's the committee chairman. Doesn't he set the time limits and the number of rounds?

Uhhhh Grassley also called for the Sessions Intel leaker to leak the whole conversation to clear up speculation. Chuck Grassley just out there demanding leaks. This is fine.

The mooch commuted via private jet this morning. It will always remain a mystery to me how Trump convinced middle America that he is a man of the people, and that the Democrats are the liberal elite. These people are rich as fuck.

Schumer: "Americans deserve a better deal so this country works for everyone...It used to be a basic bargain i this country that if you worked hard and played by the rules, you could afford a home and a car, send your kids to school, take a modest vacation every year and put enough away for a comfortable retirement...but things have changed. Americans are justified in having bigger doubts about the future than any other generation in recent history."

Schumer: "President Trump campaigned on a populist platform, talking to working people. That's why he won. But as soon as he got into office, he abandoned them...leaving a vacuum on economic issues. We democrats are gonna fill that vacuum. Democrats will show the country that we are the party on the side of working people and that we stand for three simple things. 1. Increase people's pay 2. Reduce their every day expenses 3. Provide workers with the tools the need for the 21st century"
