So, Dept Ag is relocating some of its operation to Kansas City. You know, that city in Flyover Country, away from the Beltway country clubs and buffets, where real people live and work. And, coincidentally, closer to the people who'd need to talk to a Dept Ag, if the Dept Ag actually did anything for farmers, other than hinder them with regulations dreamed up by leftwing-leaning bunny-fucking ecosimps who don't actually work the land.

So these poor fucking bureaucrats are being treated like (GASP!) normal people!  

This is an example of the comments I'm getting on Fecesbook:

Do you understand that this move has not been discussed with employees in advance? In order to keep their jobs they will have to sell their homes, pull their kids out of school, find a new place to live and if their spouse has a job, that person will have to relocate as well. Most people are not prepared to make that kind of change, on a whim.

OH, BOODY FUCKING HOO!  They may have to relocate for their jobs! That's never happened to ANYONE before!

Dear bleating phaggottes:  Relocation is a fact of life.

Now, let's discuss why what you said there is complete bullshit.

First, it will be months before the move can take place. Offices have to be built or leased, fitted out, set up, other infrastructure transferred. Bitch, they'll have PLENTY of work and plenty of lead time.

If they are tenured civil servants, they have a choice: Relocate to the new office, find another federal job in the DC area and do a lateral transfer, accept some other federal job somewhere else, or quit. So that's two more choices than a normal civilian employee is guaranteed by law. Talk about your fucking privilege. They're like a North Korean missile: They won't work and you can't fire them.

But even if it were true, THAT'S HOW NORMAL PEOPLE ARE TREATED EVERY DAY.  Why do you feel public employees, many of them leeches, are entitled to special treatment?

In fact, my then-wife had her civil service position eliminated back in 2010 or so. She had a few days notice, had to scramble for a contractor position to fill in, before finding another civil service slot.  She wasn't tenured, so she had the same rights as any other human being, and no federal privilege.  Of course, that was under 0bama, so not a single liberal racist POS is going to acknowledge the event, because no one is allowed to question that man's administration.

And it's not a "whim."  It's THE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. Are you seriously fucking suggesting the taxpayers serve at the whim of the bureaucrats? Because if so, you're complete fucking sheep of the state, and the best thing you can do is never vote again.

Real case: some retire, some take other positions, some relocate and likely negotiate some money to do so, being far better off than your average employee.  

Worst case: They're being treated like average employees.

Though as someone else noted, I feel sorry for Kansas City. It already has scorching heat, tornados, and urban crime. Now it's going to get bureaucrats as well?

Chalk this up to more Trump Derangement Syndrome. And he probably had nothing to do with it.  It's just the cool thing to do (among a certain set) to shriek, shit pants, and shout, "TRRUUUMMMPP!"

They're more retarded than the fucking Birthers.

Note he's been charged with two counts of assault, but denied bail. There is no universe in which this is reasonable. Even most murderers get bail.  So that has to be fixed first. It also really makes one question the judge.

Now, I've known Joe for over 20 years, and dated Denise before they married. He's a degreed engineer. He's a very stable, very thoughtful guy, and not someone who'd succumb to road rage, ever. His online commentary is always about caution, fully cognizant of the law.  If he shot, it's because he felt life was in danger.

Let's look at the article, and consider how it might have played out vs what we're told.

If the other guy was driving slow, it's not unreasonable to hold close but not tailgating, waiting for a chance to pass. I've had encounters where, when you try to pass, the other party then nails the gas to cut you off, just to be that kind of asshole. This is far more likely to me than him passing someone and slamming on the brakes to wreck them.

Furthermore, the default assumption in ANY rear end collision is that the rearmost party is at fault.

So let's interpret this as the other guy being the road rager. Especially as they admit he punched Joe first.

(UPDATE from court docs: Per court docs, the other party admits to being intoxicated on post surgical painkillers, and throwing the first two punches. But he's not being charged.)

Joe's a little guy, about a head shorter than me.  If some big guy creates a wreck, gets out of the car and instead of swapping info and calling the cops, starts getting pushy, and Joe has his three minor children in the back (he did), it very well might meet the standard of "fear for my life or that of my children."

I'm willing to bet money on that.

Now, let me dispose of a rumor that some assholes in the area have been spreading.  "Joe shot the guy for banging his wife."

First, he is a widower and his wife has been dead for 6 years. Try not to be that kind of asshole.

Second, he probably has a girlfriend or two at present.  He usually does.  He and Denise were openly poly, and there'd be no issue whatsoever about discussing it and having other partners.

Third, they're strangers who met on a random highway.  Trying to chase someone down with your kids in the car is so far outside the realm of rational we're not going to consider it.

So with that information, please donate what you can to help him first get released on some reasonable level of bond, and then prove his innocence, which no one should be forced to do in an innocent until proven guilty society.

He has been held without bail for 17 months so far, under the insane argument that he "turned a fistfight into a gunfight."  Apparently, you're supposed to let a drugged out freak beat you to death in front of your kids.

And they're in no hurry to hold a trial. The process is the punishment.

At least not for anything "meaningful." That shit is contagious.

Three examples:

First is a fellow immigrant from the UK, a bit older than me. I came here as a teen, he was an adult.  He came here for the same reason my family did--the inflation, the taxes, the national insistence on treating Brave New World, The Wall, 1984 and The Prisoner as handbooks, and the shitty National Health Service.  All Hail the Labour Party.

So then he shacks up and eventually common-laws an American liberal who voted for Bill Clinton because he was "so handsome."  Now he's a registered Demorrhoid, endorses socialized medicine, votes for candidates who promise to raise taxes, and is all in on the Labour Party's poorer cousin. He hasn't fallen for gun control yet, or immigration, but he's got life ahead of him. (EDIT: He now thinks green tip 5.56mm should "require some sort of license" because "it shot all the way through a car."  Sure. So does .308. So does .375 Holland and Holland. So does a hot 12 gauge slug. And this guy has professional training in physics.)

The second used to be a major sponsor and moderator of one of the world's largest firearm fora.  Then, you guessed it, he stuck it in a liberal chick. Now he wails about defensive shootings with comments like, "This is not a win for guns. If there were no guns at all, this never would have happened."  Well, true, in a fantasy world where you can make guns go away. Of course then, strong people like me, with bad attitudes unlike me, beat the shit out of pudgy little faggots like him, take their valuables and their women.  Then he went on that there's no reason to ever punish a child. Just explain to them rationally, and if they're too young, spanking them is "torture."  Well, I think in the long term they'll appreciate a spanking over repeatedly playing with a socket until they get zapped. The first is far more controllable than the second, and as you noted, a logical explanation doesn't work at a certain age.  Nice black/white world (oops, is that racist?) you liberals live in.  And he's all in on how AGW can actually make things colder.  BTW, his degree is not STEM, but his liberal wife says so, so he agrees, if he wants that sweet, sweet, liberal pussy. (I've seen her and what she types. It cannot possibly be that sweet, and I've had no trouble finding sexy, STEM-educated conservative and libertarian women).

And the third IS STEM-educated, formerly managed a major tech magazine, and bounced out of a low spot with a "fairly liberal" woman who turns out to be full Trump Derangement Syndrome/Russian Hackers/Show Me The Birth Cert...I mean Taxes!, etc. And now he's all about how Occasional-Cortex is "Brilliant."  And there is no one in either party who thinks that THOT is "brilliant" or they wouldn't have all voted against her Green New Deal (Green on the outside. Red and seedy on the inside).  Seriously, the retarded cockholster was literally unaware that aircraft are utterly necessary for many things, and can't even name the three branches of government. But his socialist wick-wetter likes her, so he damned well better say so if he wants to keep wetting it.

DO NOT STICK YOUR DICK IN LIBERAL.
