1. Donny- don't resign, suicide is better

[McCamy Taylor]

2. You mean antibiotic RESISTance can no longer be discussed?

How about the RESISTance of material to the flow of electrons? Or fabrics that RESIST staining? I am finding it difficult to RESIST the urge to make fun of Trump over his phobia of a simple little word that has been around a lot longer than he has. What is this? A film by Costa-Gravis ("Z&quot ? A graphic novel my Alan Moore ("V&quot ? "Fahrenheit 451" in which all printed words are forbidden?

3. OK, not the word resist?

Then use hinder, defy, refuse, thwart, or persevere.

OK, not talk about trumps impeachment? Then talk about trumps arraignment, detention, prosecution, summons, warrant, or presentment.

Either do not use the same word in the same paragraph or use one word until it also becomes forbidden and move on to the next.

I see a problem with the freedom of speech being attacked.

6. anything in the memo about "treason"?

Just asking.

7. Idividual 1 wouldn't have been my choice of a sobriquet

Jackass 1, Scum 1, Shitbag 1 .... there are many better ones

WASHINGTON — At workplaces across the United States, it is routine for Americans’ conversations to turn to President Trump — whether his policies are good, whether he should be impeached, what to think about the “resistance.” Some drink from MAGA mugs; others tape cartoons to their cubicle walls portraying Mr. Trump as a Russian quisling.

But roughly two million people who work for the federal government have now been told that it may be illegal for them to participate in such discussions at work — a pronouncement that legal specialists say breaks new ground, and that some criticized as going too far.

Generally, federal employees have been free to express opinions about policies and legislative activity at work as long as they do not advocate voting for or against particular candidates in partisan elections. But in a guidance document distributed on Wednesday, the independent agency that enforces the Hatch Act, a law that bars federal employees from taking part in partisan political campaigns at work or in an official capacity, warned that making or displaying statements at work about impeaching or resisting Mr. Trump is likely to amount to illegal political activity.

10. I could see Trump eventually resigning in 2020,

choosing not to run and declaring his presidency to be the most successful in presidential history and claiming there was a massive conspiracy by Liberals and the media to bring him down so he's going out on top. Pence will pardon him and all who need pardoning and Trump will no longer be president but he will continue to have his ego-feeding rallies encouraging hate and some of his rabid worshipers will oblige with violence.
But I'd give up the fantasy that Trump will go to prison because I don't see that happening.

Oh, and Merry Fitzmas!

13. If I were a federal employee, I would be working all sorts of words into my conversations

Oh hi, Marla. Why I'm peachy, thank you very much. You know Tommy and I just collaborated on a new project. I went so swell that I couldn't resist working with him again.
