What the ... protectionist bullshit?!?!?!?

There is a guy at work, let's just call him scumbag, who is a fucking perverted, pedophile, scumbag. He just got in trouble for the 3rd time in as many months for being .... surprise surprise ... a perverted scumbag. Thanks to the union, as of this posting, he still has a job.

When I first started at this job, and wasn't sure f things, I witnessed this guy being a piece of shit. A family of 4 was passing through to the Caribbean. He looked the 13 year old daughter up and down with a leer on his face and said in a Quagmire voice "I hope you brought a bikini.". I thought the father was going to beat the shit out of him or at least report him,. He did neither. In retrospect, I would report him.

3 months ago scumbag got in trouble, meaning suspended without pay, for comments he made to a woman. He made some very graphic jokes to her in front of her husband. They both complained and he was suspended.

2 months ago he was extremely insulting to a pregnant woman. The jokes/comments started with references to gorging at an all you can eat place and became more graphic and perverted from there. She complained and he was suspended.

2 weeks ago, he was even worse. In front of a 17 year old and her father he said to a co-worker "You don't even need to put sugar on her pussy.". He is suspended again. Not fired. Suspended.

This piece of shit has a long history of behavior like this. There is no way he should just be suspended. He should be fired. But ... the union protects him.Damn!

I was a shop steward at my last job so I know how a Union is SUPPOSED to behave. They have to provide fair representation to all members. That doesn't mean they have to go all out to defend a piece of shit. If the person admits to doing what they are accused of and the punishment isn't excessive then the union has nothing to do. Or as I told a few people, we can't protect stupid. You did it, the punishment is fair, suck it up princess.

Too often the unions protect people like scumbag. For some strange reason a lot of companies are afraid to fight it. I defended Union member when the punishment did not fit the offense. If it did, there is nothing the Union can, or should, do. Scumbag would have been cut loose a long time ago.

This is a lot of people, unionized people, have a problem with Unions. They protect pieces of shit who should not be protected. Sorry, poor way of putting it. They over protect them. You did it? Yes. The punishment is fair? Yes. Job done.

This is the shit that gives Unions a bad name.

What the ... perception?!?!?!?

The shit wit I work with who is all hot and bothered because I say Saudi Arabia can fuck off and criticize their human rights record has no problem with the tweet that was made by a Pro-Saudi youth group.

He claims it wasn't meant as a threat. It was just a message saying mind your business. Well, you know if 911 hadn't happened, and most of the terrorists that committed the act weren't Saudi citizens he might have a point. However, we live in a different world.

What the .... Saudi Spat?!?!?!?

Saudi Arabia has decided to start a fight with Canada over a tweet they don't like.

Saudi Arabia lost their shit over this and started acting out.

A friend of mine made a post asking why we buy oil from Saudi Arabia. I replied to it, something I don't usually do on FB. To paraphrase, I said fuck Saudi Arabia. From what I have read we only get 25% of our oil from them maybe it is time to get that oil from someone else or from within our own country. To hear a pompous ass (the Saudi official who started this) drone on about how great they are to women because they gave them the right to drive a car last year, while women can still be stoned to death for walking around with a non-related male pisses me off. Fuck them.

A misogynistic shit wit I work with was offended by my post. He basically dismissed it by suggesting I smoke weed and don't know the reality of what is going on in Saudi Arabia. He actually claimed there is no proof women get stoned there or that anyone gets crucified. (To be fair, in any instance of crucifixion I have seen they killed the person before crucifying them,  it is a means of leaving them on display.)

It irks me when people try and ignore reality. There are a lot of reports from reliable media outlets about what goes on in Saudi Arabia. The shit wit I work with has his own bias which causes him to blind himself to reality. He rambled on in another post claiming he hates what the Saudis and Trump are doing in the Middle East but can't agree with false claims of stoning and crucifixion without proof. Well, there is proof if you don't have your head rammed up your ass.

This brings me back to my original line of thought .... fuck Saudi Arabia. They are in the process of making sure they spend no money in Canada while they still want our money. Fuck them. We should be finding other places to spend our money. We need to actually start using the oil found in Canada in Canada.

The whole episode also brings up a great question. Why is Saudi Arabia on the UN Human Rights Council let alone heading the council?

What IOSI?!?!?!?

I often get a chuckle when I see something Trump (or some other republican/ Right wainger) says and pondering "What If Obama Said It?" Just how batshit crazy would the response of the Right be?

Look at Trumps latest faux pas. He was talking about President Xi Jinping of China and him being declared President Fo Life of China.

"He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."

Even if said in jest can you imagine how beserk teh response of the Right would have been if Obama said anything like this? He would have been crucified on Fox. There would have been calls to impeach him, if not an actual move to do itif the Right controlled the House. There would be calls to assassinate him, if not attempts.

But Trump said it so it is ok with the Right.

Facebook Follies ... Whack Jobs.

There is a twat on Facebook that goes by the name of Kevin Hay. He is a conspiracy theorist that loves promoting fake shit. Normally I don't waste my time considering morons like him but when he tried to present something as fact that could EASILY be proven wrong ... without even citing anything to back up his statement, it irked me.

A little background info on Kevin, from his Facebook page.He says he is a Manager at one company and runs his own cosmetics business too. Other than a lot of posts pushing one conspiracy theory or another, and whining about people that complain about him, not much of substance to his page. Yet he wrote a post about Fidel Castro being Justin Trudeau's real father as if he had access to the information, mainly a suicide note. He cites no sources and takes all credit.

According to Snopes this myth has been around since someone started it 2016.

"On 27 November 2016, two days after Castro’s death was announced, a user on the Donald Trump subreddit /r/The_Donald presented a theory that Justin Trudeau, the son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, was actually the love child of Fidel Castro and Margaret Trudeau. "

Snopes then proceeded to prove how wrong this was.

It is bad enough when people perpetuate this shit but to try and make it look like you have some access to the suicide note. What else can you expect from an internet whackjob?

Facebook Follies .... vanishing memes?!?!?!?

I noticed in the last couple of days a lack of comments and memes on Facebook about how having armed police, guards, or teachers in the school would have stopped the shooter in Parkland Florida, and anywhere else this has happened. It struck me as strange. Until I saw this.

"Four sheriff’s deputies hid during Florida school shooting"

Yes ... four deputies that were the first to respond to the shooting ... while the shooter was active .... hid behind their cars. What makes it worse is that one deputy was the officer ASSIGNED TO THE SCHOOL as the armed resource officer ON SITE!!!

No wonder the comments and memes stopped.
