For salaried workers.

Salary workers almost never get paid overtime and generally make more “per hour” than the standard hourly wage already anyway. Also, you literally cannot be forced to work more than 40 hrs a week when salaried. This is also the terms that are agreed to by both parties (usually by contract) before employment begins. Kind sounds to me like if you want to be a salaried employee AND make overtime, that you should negotiate that before beginning employment.

I’m not getting the argument here.

…already done.

You understand that he was President once already?

And that you guys said all of the same shit the first time around?

And here we still are?

Member?! I member!!

You don’t know how hard you are helping me! I’m gooning over here!

No need. I get off on pointing out hypocrisy!

It’s like you guys are running my Lush vibrator with your posts!

I remember when Obama was doing that. I also remember when even MSNBC was boasting that the Biden administration deported more people than Trump did, ON ELECTION NIGHT! They were parading that stat around like it was the best thing ever!

Oh, you guys just don’t like it when it’s a non Democrat that is putting up record deportation numbers?

Got it!

Are you implying that Trump has “verbatim” said that we will have “death camps”? And that we will “loose all our rights”? And that “he is Hitler”?

Source please.

“Why are there so many randomly bold words?” Sorry, I was just trying to match the tone of the room. Nobody listens to you unless you are screaming in their face that they are “literally being assaulted” on the internet. Also, I have to give you SOMETHING to attack beside the actual point! Sure, it’s my formatting that is the REAL problem!

Stoking fear? Like telling everyone that if you vote a certain way, it will be the LITERAL downfall of not only US civilization, but of civilization on the entire mother fucking PLANET!? Like stoking fear by saying that if they vote a certain way that LITERAL DEATH CAMPS will be common place? Like telling people that they are going to LITERALLY LOSE ALL OF THEIR RIGHTS!!? Like telling people that YOU ARE LITERALLY VOTING FOR LITERALLY HITLER!!!?

Like that kind of stoking fear?

How absolutely DARE you!!

They are women!! Their policy positions should not have had ANYTHING to do with the vote!! Everyone should have voted for them because they are women!!

Are you saying that it was…dare I say…RIGGED?!!

THERE IS NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE THAT ELECTIONS IN THE US CAN BE RIGGED!!!

My sincerest wish is that Elon Musk just waits until an X alternative gets big enough, buys it and destroys it in perpetuity. Save the people from their addiction to “likes” and “shares”.

He would be my absolute hero!!

Calling it now:

He does get sentenced, but will be given “time served” since he gave his Presidential paychecks back to the IRS.

This way, he didn’t “worm his way out of it” and then any politician caught doing anything can use the precedent of “I have been serving the country for years!” to avoid any actual punishment.

You wonder why so many politicians were lawyers all of their lives before getting into politics.

So then you agree with the death penalty, yes? Since those people can’t handle the responsibility of being a functional part of society?

I would be absolutely fine with allowing for abortion up to the point of hearing a heartbeat if that’s the scientific consensus for the definition of life.

Unfortunately, heartbeat bills have been demonized to no end because (again) “it’s my way or fuck you!!”

I am not unsupportive of women’s rights, I am willing to be supportive of the rights of those who may not be able to speak for themselves.

But you are still completely rejecting the idea that the fetus has any right to exist. You still have it fixed in your thoughts that the “bundle of cells” is not actually a form of life. As I said, if there was a scientific consensus on this, that would be a different story. But again, nobody wants to come to that consensus.

Totally not even related (/s): what is your stance on the meat processing industry? Do you feel sympathy for the creatures that do not have a voice?

I’m not against abortion in cases where the mothers life is in danger and cases of proven rape (yeah, I know that one is going to piss people off because many on the pro-abortion side are also on the side of “believe all women no matter what because women never EVER lie about anything! Men are the scourge of the planet and should be eradicated”)

I am 100% against using abortion as birth control.

If we could reach a scientific consensus as to when “life” actually starts, I would be 100% for allowing abortion up to that point. But nobody wants to reach that consensus.

My current mindset is based on this: if we found a bundle of living cells (not even a fully formed human) on Mars, our entire world view would change dramatically! Everything would come into question: religion, politics, everything.

Why is it that here on Earth, a bundle of cells isn’t given as much weight as it would on another planet? Just because you might have to make sacrifices?

I don’t know whether or not we are snuffing out any consciousness when a fetus is aborted, but I do know that neither side of the argument wants to even discuss it because it’s either all or nothing, my way or fuck you!

I would rather err on the side of caution. Maybe we should not be so willy nilly about ending possible life. Also, maybe we should come to some kind of acceptable consensus.

Please proceed to post all of your “fuck you for thinking about anything other than unrestricted abortion access!!” comments below:

Edit: I am not a religious person. Pretty far from it. I shouldn’t have to make that point since online forums like this have made it perfectly clear that religious people in the US are totally not being persecuted, but I know that many of you will probably just brush off my comments as “religious loony shit” if I don’t make my position on religion crystal clear.

Oh you! Always worrying about me!

While I appreciate the concern, nothing like that is going to happen. You know why? Because all of this fear mongering is just that: fear mongering!

You know how I know it’s all fear mongering? Don’t you worry! I did all the hard work for you: I did the research! And I brought receipts!!™

You see kids, denaturalization is a process that has been in place since the early 1900s. It is used to revoke the citizenship of people who really REALLY shouldn’t be here. We are talking Terrorists, Russian spys, Nazis (like, actual Nazis from WWII, not just people who don’t agree with you politically in the year 2024). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_denaturalized_former_citizens_of_the_United_States)

I feel this is a worthy use of our tax dollars! I mean, you want to deport Nazis and Russian spys, right?

“But, Awesomo!” (you whine), “Trump is going to go after all the innocent “brown people”!”(brown people© Democrats 2006)

Hmmm…I don’t know. Will he really? If only we had some sort of historical data to back up this totally baseless claim……

Ooops! We do have data! (though it doesn’t support the claim AT ALL) You see, Trump was already President once. And everyone is claiming that he came down with an Iron Fist the first go-round with plans to expand! Turns out only 4 people, let me repeat that: 4 PEOPLE TOTAL, were denaturalized under President Trump. And guess what? Those 4 people were a terrorist, a LITERAL Nazi, and a couple of war criminals. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_denaturalized_former_citizens_of_the_United_States)

Hell, President Obama (the great and powerful and o-so-cool) denaturalized 8 people during his terms! And again, these were (undeniably) undesirable people.

So you see, you don’t need to worry your pretty little head about me. I (like every other US citizen that migrated here legally and isn’t a Nazi or Terrorist) have NOTHING to be afraid of.

Hugs and kisses!

Latino for Trump here.

Is this the line for the free tears?

What if he ushers in world peace? Will that be on them or on Trump or will that be because of you and whatever DNC stooge is being anointed next?
