Change it to an American flag and that's a hell of a meme you got.
I can just feel our democracy crumbing every time Levibooty hits post. The memes are too damn spicy.
Whoa. Take a step back, son. Recording conversations where known classified information was to be and is discussed is legal? I don't think so.
When you are new at politics, you make mistakes. Who do you like in the Trump administration?
So you're saying single mothers who grew up in poor families with minimum education are greedier than Jeffry Skilling, Bernie Madoff, Michael Milken, John Keating, Andrew Fastow, Dennis Koslowski, Bernard Ebbers, Kenneth Lay, etc. etc. etc.
I think you've lost your friggin mind. That's the dumbest thing anybody may have ever posted here. You're so singularly tracked stupid with this comment you even forgot to make exceptions for the Clintons and Obama's. Sorry to be so blunt and honest with you but that really was stupid.
So Levibooty at least addressed the fact that socialist/communist systems will be filled with single mothers growing up in poor families. So that's a start.

Do the mods here do anything? You should have to take a test to post on here to weed out some of these idiots.
I'm convinced now for sure. I'm voting dem in 2020.
Always a good thing when these people are fired, but I won't be fully satisfied til these people are put in hand cuffs.
Not true. What she did is illegal. Its a national security risk. She should go to prison for it. You can't just go around recording shit in the freaking White House.
Did I say ANYTHING about comparative greed, anyone being "greedier" than anyone else? Straw man much?
What I said is the absolute truth, and your failure to recognize it is why leftist simpletons like yourself will continue to seek a socialist/communist utopia, and continue to fail in that endeavor. Capitalism harnesses man's instinctive greed. Socialism/communism tries to ignore or suppress that instinctive greed. Results are pretty clear as to which system has yielded more successful societies.
Nah it makes you look like a rebel. Funny thing is while I was working at a local HS the black maintenance man had a Confederate flag tattooed on him. Should have took a picture and blew your ****ing mind.
I'm actually not entirely opposed to the paid time off thing. We need to start encouraging people to have kids.
That said, it's not because parenting is a collective duty or whatever that idiot is on about.
I'd actually prefer you not to have any children if you can't afford to take some time off work.
"You" as in everyone.
"You" as in everyone.
recording something classified is not illegal. Not disclosing the recording after something classified is discussed or releasing something classified is where you break the law. Most presidents have setup some form of recording systems in the white house because DC law allows one party consent. The White House doesn't have its own set of laws. You can argue Amarossa broke employee policy but that still is not something illegal. It does show a severe lack of proper security procedure in the current WH.
And apparently Omarossa didn't even have security clearance so she shouldn't even be near a SCIF room.

Trump watching that military exercise and staying around talking and taking pictures with those troops is awesome. Nice to have a President who loves our military again.
Meh. There's so much wrapped into the modern economy and society that it is hard just to pull out one thing without it affecting others, I understand that. So, financial security is important to child rearing, but I think the idea that you need to be anything other than "not poor" to have a good size family is a failing of modern culture. You can absolutely raise a large family on not a lot of money and not resort to leaching off the government.
I understand that's a common impulse, but it's not how I think most would respond if everyone started increasing family size.
You cannot record something classified, whether you release it or not.
If you get caught taking pictures of classified documents your ass is going to jail.
Let the market shake it out, which with 95% of things, fixes things. The better companies will offer it and they will subsequently get better talent. Or maybe they won't. But I am not a fan of forcing companies to do anything
The market is better at 95% of things than government. Especially when the government is any form of amoral democracy or republic. But, given what we know about what close/strong families can do for a society, I don't think you can compare encouraging that vs. some productivity numbers.
To be clear, paid leave isn't a cure-all, we're a rotting society that needs all kinds of fixes. But, I can't imagine how family bonding in early childhood would be a net negative, even when taking into account the economic downside.
So you are positing that when I make paper or digital copies of classified information, and I am not telling anyone that I am doing so, that act in and of itself is not illegal? It's only when I share with others that I am doing something illegal?
DC is one party consent. If you don't know beforehand that someone is going to discus classified information there is zero chance you will be charged for the recording. Big difference between a voice recording and taking pictures, one is a very deliberate offense. And so far as we know Omarossa didn't record anything classified. And if she had whoever it was with her would be breaking the law because she had no security clearance.
Check out @magnuslewis263’s Tweet:
Making copies of classified documents is not the same thing as recording conversations. Nixon recorded dozens of classified conversations, how many was he charged with? Same with Reagan, most likely the same with Clinton but they were never able to compel him to release anything.
