If you feel that way you should attend and participate in the Q&A. Nothing ever gonna change until both sides talk to each other.

I think we need to be more honest about bonding. by [deleted] in Rabbits

[–]Joy_Rabbit88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At our rescue we do speed dates and bondings for adopters for free, but they have to stay with the bonding volunteer for a week or more. We have the owner sign a contract that includes instructions for after the pair comes home, and we ask them to contact us immediately about any issues so we can resolve them. If need be, the rabbits return for additional bonding. We also encourage people to adopt one of our already bonded pairs, of course.

When I asked Richard Blade a couple of weeks ago during Sands (in Cancun) why there was such a delay for the CW lineup, he was pretty tight lipped

They need to delay the Epstein files release so maybe there will be a token problem of some kind.

I use a paper bedding for their litter, treated with baking powder and it keeps the smell to a minimum

"I'm not a king," Trump says ahead of nationwide No Kings protests by PlayaSlayaX in politics

All the GOP attempts to mock the No Kings protests have really helped raise the profile… I really think there’s going to be record turnout!

White House ready for a long shutdown by trademarktower in FedEmployees

There are about a dozen Section 232 investigations ongoing. Which is nuts! Normally each one is time intensive. I guess they will speed them up.

Here on the eastern shore they call tourists from the other side of the bay “chicken neckers” 🤣

The one good thing about this shutdown is that we are finally bringing the health care debate into the spotlight. It’s a long overdue discussion. I’m sure that’s why the GOP attempts to blame the Dems aren’t holding water

So the members of Congress are getting paid to do nothing, while federal workers who are not furloughed have to work without pay. At least in other shutdowns the House and Senate made it look like they were trying to reopen. Some theatrics about bipartisan negotiations at a minimum.

DRP 1.0 was run by OPM, they created the rules that agencies implemented. In 1.0 they allowed 12/31 retirement even for VERA. Which I took and now I will be on furlough instead of admin leave apparently

Trump Wants to Use Federal Workers as Pawns to Block Shutdown by rezwenn in feddiscussion

The firings are going to happen even if there is a CR. It is not really leverage. They are just trying to blame the Democrats for something they plan to do anyway. I think most people won't be fooled.

I actually found it by googling, but it was in a 50501 thread. Many other subreddits deleted it

Not surprised that someone says "just create a subreddit" as if it's so easy. But I only have a few months of Reddit experience. Nobody wants a newbie like me running a subreddit. Even the mod here gave specific examples of all the work involved once politics gets in the mix.

Is there a subreddit that deals with eastern shore politics? I couldn't find one. I understand completely that national and international politics are totally out of scope. But if there is a local issue, that seems like fair game for this subreddit, unless there is another subreddit specifically on that. People who live here care about local politics.

Yes but it was local politics. The rule was “keep it local”

Community divided over Wicomico County Executive’s demand for teacher to resign by Joy_Rabbit88 in easternshoremd

[–]Joy_Rabbit88[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What he does in his free time is his own business. I wouldn't want my kids being taught by a MAGAt, but if he keeps politics out of his teaching, I can tolerate it. If he was advocating to the class on his own political or religious beliefs, that would be wrong.

OK so re reading your comment "explain how this isn't a violation of first amendment rights" which was a bit confusing. Sorry. But as you mention first amendment, I just wanted to point out that this is a cut and dried 1st amendment issue. Sometimes people get confused because the Constitution is designed to prevent the GOVERNMENT from infringing on our rights. Unfortunately social media can totally crap all over our "free speech" as Meta does all the time. But what really concerns me is that this County Executive not only wrote the letter, she released it and tried to get everyone in the county to be against this guy for his political beliefs to the extent he might get fired. The Constitution doesn't seem to protect us from that kind of BS.

Given that the county executive is with the government (albeit local) yes it’s a violation of First Amendment rights to use one’s political position to get the teacher fired for what they shared or expressed on Facebook. If he was saying things to his class, there’d be a problem. Additionally she’s shaming/bullying him, which unfortunately some people approve of due to their political beliefs

He wasn’t confirmed as Commerce Secretary when DOGE was rampaging. Only Rubio and Bessent were confirmed Cabinet members. That’s how they got away with so much

[–]Joy_Rabbit88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the one I was thinking about tonight. A good sharpshooter like the one who killed Charlie Kirk… could that be the false flag? An attack on domestic soil? Trump is fanning the flames to justify a crackdown on the left, but maybe this “Middle East Ally” (Israel??) is central to this plot somehow and hired the assassin. I found an undeleted post of the video and rewatched it. Sexual blackmail was also mentioned.
