Seems the First amendment is on the chopping block. You know separation of church and state and other such nonsense.


The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.
The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.
The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

The document says the task force, which was established by the executive order, will meet around April 22 to discuss its initial findings.
The cable encourages State Department employees to report on one another through a tip form that can be anonymous. “Reports should be as detailed as possible, including names, dates, locations (e.g. post or domestic office where the incident occurred,” the cable reads.

Ah yes the dominant group in American society is so persecuted they can’t work in the government.

So you agree Trump has repeatedly complained about water efficiency standards before?
Click to expand...

Of course. I also complain about this BS.

I'd rather have a toilet that I can flush once and it gets clean. When you have to flush two or three times it isn't saving water. A shower that sprays water instead of just trickles out. I always drill out the orifice in a shower head.

I don't waste water either for the most part I still take submarine showers.

1.) Get wet and turn off water.
2.) Lather up and wash everything.
3.) Rinse off soap and turn off water.

Consider a diet with appropriate fiber and buying low flow devices that don't suck. Plenty of lower flow shower heads and toilets that are just fine.

Haha yes, sometimes I wonder what people are eating. I basically never have to flush the toilet more than once.

I didn't need to drill out my shower head, I just opened it up and removed the flow restrictor (having high shower pressure is a luxury I enjoy).
But I can't remember the last time I had to flush a toilet more than once. Probably back when I was fairly obese.

1. Get a better toilet. I have a 1.6 gallon flush toilet in one bathroom that does a much better job than the much older 3.3 gallon toilet.

2. It’s usually just a plastic insert no drill required.

This juxtaposition of high-pressure toilet flushing and submarines in this comment made me think of the fate of U-1206.

(Could it have involved a member of the Trump family?)

U-1206 was one of the late-war boats fitted with new deepwater high-pressure toilets which allowed them to be used while running at depth. Flushing these facilities was an extremely complicated procedure and special technicians were trained to operate them. Incorrectly opening valves in the wrong sequence could result in waste or seawater flowing back into the hull.

On 14 April 1945, 24 days before the end of World War II in Europe, while U-1206 was cruising at a depth of 200 feet (61 m), eight nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) off Peterhead, Scotland, misuse of the new toilet caused large amounts of seawater to flood the boat.[6] According to the Commander's official report, while in the engine room helping to repair one of the diesel engines, he was informed that a malfunction involving the toilet caused a leak in the forward section. The leak flooded the submarine's batteries (located beneath the head) causing them to generate chlorine gas, leaving him with no alternative but to surface.[6] Once surfaced, U-1206 was discovered and bombed by British patrols, forcing Schlitt to scuttle the submarine.

Actually it was pointed out elsewhere that his water efficiency order attempts to bypass the required review process. He has other exec orders that attempt to do the same thing under the claim that revoking an existing rule does not meet the requirements for review.... i guess that will result in a bunch more lawsuits...

Remember, christofascists are the victims. People not being christian hurts, and is unAmerican. The separation of church and state is just a myth. Like the clitoris.

Trump White House budget proposal eviscerates science funding at NASA

This would be an extinction level event for space science and exploration in the US.

His proposal also guts NOAA including nearly all weather research/studies. So much for predicting the paths of severe weather.... however as pointed out by someone else we gotta find those trans who have regrets and revisit the issue of vaccine causing autism and hunt out non christians in govt.
