    A ridiculous amount of "journalists" cheering on and defending the ANTIFA attacks against a journalist... who happens to be a gay minority.

    Guess the gay minority just doesn't have the right political viewpoints for our firefighters to defend.

    Canadian media company Brunswick News Inc. ended its contract with freelance cartoonist Michael de Adder over the weekend after his drawing of President Donald Trump and the Salvadoran migrant family that drowned near the southern border went viral.

    Disgusting but perfectly within their rights. They shouldn't even have any employment action taken against them as that would constitute negative government action based on the content of their speech.

    There was a case of a prosecutor in, I think, San Francisco who when Reagan was shot said "I hope he dies." The prosecutor was disciplined (I think he was fired). He sued and won. As he should have.

    It brings up a lot of interesting questions. Not least of which is an employer’s ability to fire/discipline employees for speech they engage in off the clock. Arguments there probably make for some strange bedfellows, because the speech absolutist camp also overlaps pretty heavily with the at-will employment camp (though I realize these are public employees).

    I think I’m with you that there can’t be negative consequences for off-clock speech. In this case there may be an additional complication, i.e. this stuff bearing on the agency’s ability to defend itself in court against accusations of bias or racially-motivated maltreatment, or justify itself in front of Congressional oversight. I have no idea what, if any, contractual obligations DHS employees have, and if they bump up against this kind of conduct at all.

    Now - extending your logic from yesterday, we can forever discredit anything that comes out of CNN. Right?

    I think that CNN, like the rest of cable news, is 90% trash. But I’m not the one posting tweets from Nazi pals, pretending that they’re journalism.

    The difference is that prosecutor is not charged with the safety and well being of Reagan. If this was a secret service agent saying this he would have been removed immediately and paid to sit home before being allowed within a mile of the President.



    Those officers can not remain in the job now because they are walking lawsuits. Every lawsuit revolving around these officers now has a lot of credibility. To make it worse any abuse caught bu those officers is going to be viewed as easily preventable and happened because of willful negligence by their superiors.
