re: Texas Public Education Issue

Property Tax NEEDS TO GO. Renters send their children to school for free. Property owners who have no school age children foot the bill. People can (and have) lost their homes with this and it needs to stop.
This makes no sense. Are you under the impression that landlords do not factor in the costs of property taxes into the rents they charge? Of course they do. The tenants don’t pay it directly, but they absolutely pay it indirectly. It’s insane to believe they don’t.

re: Mike Pence refuses to rule out another run for president.

I don’t know if anyone else has commented on this but the poster Don Quixote posting this could not be more perfect as I can’t think of a more Quixotic quest than Pence running for president again. Tilting at windmills indeed.
re: Lamest celebrated tradition in sports has to be Clemson’s run down the hill?

I don’t think it’s lame as much as stupid. You are asking some really big guys, some who are not as agile as others, to run as a group down a hill while pumped full of adrenaline. When your tradition has a downside risk of one guy slipping and tumbling forward to create a domino effect that takes out 2/3 of your 2 deep, then you may want to scrap that tradition. Just a thought.

Fairly certain this is the case. Once you open the play up for review, all parts of the play are open to review. I could certainly be incorrect about that though.

Then maybe you are a wimp about your arthritis. I’m not actually calling you that, but I am pointing out that some people would say you are because of your arthritis comment. They would tell you to get over it. They have it, and it’s not that bad. I’m sure that would irritate you, and it should because their experience is not yours and diseases are different in different people. The same can be true of RLS. It can manifest to differing degrees in different individuals. Surely you can see that, right?

I’m sorry. You haven’t had it that bad. I am 47 and have had it for 40 years. I take gabapentin and Mirapex. It is pure hell without it. Have you stopped to think that others may have it worse than you and that you don’t have it that badly? In 40 years, I’ve never gotten “used to it.” I have punched my legs repeatedly in the middle of the night trying to get them to stop by giving a different sensation.

How do you square this with Luke 6:32 - 36 where Jesus talks about loving your enemy and that there is no real credit in loving those who love you as even sinners do that. We are called to a higher standard as Christians. We are to love others in a way that is radical and beyond what the world would expect. We are to love those who are marginalized and hurting. That is clear from the gospel. That is what Jesus did, and we are called to the same.

No, I understand how the first amendment works. This is the federal government imposing a penalty on another party based on the viewpoint they held. That is unconstitutional any day. This is not even close.

This is so ridiculously unconstitutional.
Absolutely. This EO is clearly viewpoint discrimination and a violation of the First Amendment.

You're gonna be singing the blues if this jackwad minor league judge ends up being the catalyst that ends up in Marbury v. Madison getting overturned.
Game this out for me. That could only be overturned by SCOTUS. That is the precedent which gives SCOTUS all its power. Why would SCOTUS ever overturn Marbury vs. Madison? They instantly become an impotent branch of government. What branch of government in the history of man has willingly cut off its own power?
How do you envision this going down and what standard comes behind it? Who decides if a law is Constitutional at that point? I can’t see a scenario this happens in.

If OPM ordered the firings or didn’t, the core issue is the same. A President has the power to hire and fire in the Executive Branch or he doesn’t. I would argue that he does have that right. You would argue that he has that right if he’s a Democrat.
I would argue he has the right if the proper procedure is followed. That wasn’t done here. They then lied about it with a sworn statement and refused to submit to cross examination when caught in that lie. That’s an is an issue no matter who is in the Oval Office. Process matters.

What exactly is the purpose of the OPM if they can’t direct hiring and firing decisions within the federal government? Seems like they should just cease to exist as well as that’s a core HR duty.
I would say it is not an HR function to say you must fire all these people and you don’t have discretion in the matter. That is well above HR’s pay grade. HR can handle payroll, benefits, helping with onboarding, and firing people the department decides to fire. They don’t unilaterally decide to fire and order the department to fire people. That has never been a power given to HR.

Of all the incorrect rulings against Trump, this has to be the worst. Ruling based on absolutely nothing.
Did you see what the ruling was based on? The Office of Personnel Management ordered these agencies to fire the probationary employees. The issue is that department has no statutory authority to do that. They were sued saying those employees can only be fired at the behest of their departments as that is who Congress gave the authority to.
The head of OPM made a sworn statement that he didn’t order it; however, when the plaintiffs wanted to cross examine him, the DOJ refused to produce him and withdrew the statement. Like so much of what the Trump administration has done, they did it the wrong way and shot themselves in the foot. There is a right way and a wrong way to do these things. They don’t take the time to do things the right way and it constantly bites them in the arse.

Of course there is a chance but there are other details that make it much less of a chance. I don't think it's egregious but it was enough where I had to draw a line. Something happened this morning that reminded me of it and thought TD might take the ball and carry it for a while.
What line can you draw? If he is on his property, you don’t really have a say short of putting up a taller fence or hedge.

That isn’t true at all. They may get fired and you might have a few resign but all do not resign. Lol
Just do a quick Google search. Resigning is the tradition. Here is one article here.

They offer their resignation and the president can accept. The AUAs do not resign.
