    When in the last decade did a politician assault a government employee on camera then lie and blame it on them? I seem to forget that one.

      Remember that time a guy body slammed a reporter?

      inb4 “a reporter isn’t a government employee!”

      These clowns are never held accountable, haven’t we all figured that out yet? Standards of conduct and morals are only effective when your own followers have them.

      edit: just wait until you learn about the unitary executive theory, a vast number of “conservatives” believe the president should have the power to just fire the Arlington employee and replace them with someone loyal to the president.

        You mean the time that guy got convicted of assault on someone who wasn’t a government employee? Yes, yes I do.

          They’ve been escalating rhetoric against various govt agencies and employees of them for years, it’s only going to get worse.

          We don’t even need to argue it though, we can wait and see if this turns any MAGAts away from Trump or if Steven Cheung, the staffer that did the shoving, is charged.

          I wish “middle employees” had the time or could afford to give a shit and that this would make a difference, I’m not that optimistic.

            See what you did there is try to redirect from a question you know you can’t answer.

            I get your point but this ain’t the way boss.

              We’re all just bullshitting on the internet anyway. Trump and the RNC have the resources to just run out the clock to any hypothetical charges.

              If it were any of us we’d be fucked (and rightly so) for sure though.

                  What lie have I told?

                  middle employees will never let this shit stand.

                  You think this shit is truthful? “Middle employees” have let the last 50 years of American politics happen, I wouldn’t rely on them for much.

                    That dude wasn’t punished, he was convicted.
