Must be a politician.

And of course, they'll only cover the third and seventh of those weeks.

So now you try to play heart strings.

No, I thought I might get you to see it more clearly if you imagined it happening to you. Less abstract that wa. Guess I didn't account for you having zero empathy AND no imagination/understanding.

The US has supported Isreal since there was one

Holy sunk cost fallacy, Batman! Just because the US government has had a long history of defending Netanyahu and other far right warn criminals doesn't mean that continuing to do so is a good idea or even not reprehensible. You know that they're denying the millions of Palestinians in Gaza food, water and medicine too, now? Does that sound like a good thing to support to you? Something we need to make sure someone gets away with?

if you think you, as a regular government employee will change that policy

That's not what anyone except you is saying, though. They're not asking to dictate policy. They're just not overly thrilled by being censored and met with hostility for not seeing eye to eye with it.

If you don't get that by now

then you may not be smart enough

for this conversation to be worth any more time and effort. Have the day you deserve.

Try to put yourself in their shoes for a moment:

Imagine it was YOUR people, even FAMILY members of yours being systematically slaughtered and displaced in what amounts to ethnic cleansing. Imagine that your employer is actively siding with the government trying to eradicate your people and you're not even allowed to criticise that stance.

Would YOU be fine with just meekly resigning from what might otherwise be your dream job, not certain where your next rent check would come from? Or would you speak up and, failing that, want others to speak up for you?

Yeah, as per the last update, he can preside over appointment of a real speaker, he can send everyone on vacation and he immediately appointed himself emperor of offices

Well you're sure as shit not conceding that it's a bad thing to support genocide and then freeze out anyone who disagrees and you ARE deflecting blame onto the abused government employees so yeah, I'd say that amounts to a defence.

Stop moving the goalposts and stop using pro-corporate talking points to defend abusers against the abused having a voice.

And since it has all the buns itself, you have none 😉

They actually can't. Afair they literally aren't allowed to vote on anything substantive until they have a speaker. Of course, that suits most of the GOP just fine.

Ah ok, cool 😁

Not everyone can afford to just change jobs because their current employer is committing and/or supporting human rights abuses. You're sounding very "free" market libertarian right now.

It's still true that it don't want none, though.
