So I guess shaved heads and blue bracelets (manufactured only by black women) are the new AWFL thing.

I support this 100%.  It will signal which women to stay the hell away from and they won't pass crazy down to the next generation.

From what I understand the President appoints the guy for a set term and it is not real clear if a President can fire him before the end of his term but it has never been settled in the courts, maybe we will get the answer sometime next year.

Yesterday I had three requests to hang class cancellation notices for instructors who'd called in "sick". Two from English, one from Psych.

Amazingly, instructors from the hard sciences made it to class.

Apparently your college is not alone

Professors at two prestigious New York universities gave fragile students rattled by Tuesday’s election results an excuse to skip class this week — enraging their Jewish peers who were offered no such grace during months of anti-Israel campus protests where participants openly praised Hamas and hurled genocidal slogans after Oct. 7.

“Columbia has a serious problem with neutrality. For an institution that claims to care so much about equality and equity, their empathy clearly doesn’t apply to the Jews,” student Eliana Goldin told The Post.

“I’m sure that if Harris won, the university would not have canceled classes.”

The messages were peppered with language suggesting their pupils had just been through a tragedy in the wake of former Republican President Donald Trump’s historic defeat of Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris at the polls Tuesday.

“I hope you are all taking care. I recognize that processing the results of a national election can be heavy and having space to breathe and go a bit slower is vital,” wrote Barnard professor Amelia Simone Herbert to students in her “Race, Space and Urban Schools” class.

In her missive announcing class would be cut short, she obligingly offered to “remain in the room for anyone who wants to use it as a workspace or a space to reflect with others.”

Jewish Columbia, Barnard students fume that professors canceled classes over post-election ‘stress’ but not after Oct. 7: ‘Very telling’

There are a bunch of independent agencies in the US government.  The heads of these agencies serve fixed terms and cannot be removed by a President except for cause.  Exactly what would define cause is up for legal debate.

I'm hearing from many Kamala Harris supporters who say they are cutting ties with MAGA fascist family members and are not going to showing up for holiday gatherings. "It's not a difference in politics, it's a difference in morality." 😳

Thread largely goes south from there if you can believe that

[WLJ]

I interpreted that little bit of liberal theater to actually mean that she's going to continue to go after Trump no matter what. Evidence? Don't need that. Proof? Don't need that.

She essentially said that she's now on a scorched earth mission to do everything that she can -- legal, extralegal, or flat out illegal -- to stop a Trump presidency dead in its tracks.

🦇 💩 crazy. This tiktoker warns women to delete period tracker apps, not get married, divorce their husbands if they voted for Trump, and have a plan of action in place.

They’re serious about this. This is what media brainwashing looks like. It’s actually very sad.

And just like that a democracy is a bad thing

Powell's assertion that the President can't remove him from his position has actually never been tested under the law, which is apparently relatively unclear on the matter.

Here's an interesting article on the subject from the Brookings Institute from... 2019. Trump's first term when he was at odds with, well, everyone.

That freakshow definitely does not need a period tracker app.

One of the comments said it should have Yakety Sax playing in the background.  So I opened this in another tab and restarted the NYT video and it really did help :D

Is that kind of like one of those trackers you can use when you are following a blood trail from a deer or other animal that ran off after getting shot?

I'm guessing that the same people getting worked up about period trackers also were the ones wanting to force us all to walk around with covid vaccine tracker apps.

I'm actually seeing a lot of "I'm getting a gun" talk from the whackos, mostly women. And like this whacko, not so much for self-defense as for shooting the MAGAs when they see them because they are a threat. Seems like this broad couldn't honestly check the "not a mental case" box on the 4473. While I ain't John Wick, I'm pretty sure that once she decides to shoot me and pulls her "Glock", I'll have long since drawn and will be tapping my foot waiting for her to get the gun out and pointed at me.

While many of these are just loudmouths, I think it's enough of a concern to not slack on being armed at all times. Even here in Idaho, the Boise trannies go on the reddit and talk about "trans vengeance". These people are already unstable, so I can actually see them deciding to play like they're in an FPS video game.
