  1.  @rdpatterson2682  Exactly. She'll be fine by 16.

  2. I didn't know what that meant until the other day. Incredible misogyny.

  3. Aaron Mate just risked his own life to bring us real reporting from Syria, and is vastly too modest to say so. Look what Ana and Cenk are capable of, full picture. Lord.

  4. Nice! And thank God.

  5. 1:12:09 Aaron is ethically above any other journalist today. Jimmy shouldn't worry, and Aaron shouldn't, either. Jimmy made one inappropriate joke and then gave Ana a WRITTEN apology. That tells you everything. No dishonest, disingenuous, insincere person ever puts it in writing, knowing it could be used against him.

  6. Important point. /s

  7.  @impossiblewhopper539  This is true.

  8. Since Ana needs money, she could auction Jimmy's note.

  9. So, TYT are also smearing the whistleblowers who are likely endangering themselves to make sure the truth is uncovered.

  10. Exactly. He knew he made a mistake, and apologized immediately, in writing. We all know what that says about a person. The cagey ones say it, but never write it.

  11.  @edward481  He said it out loud in the newsroom, their shared workplace, and everyone laughed at Ana. Context matters. Notice I didn't say it was sexual harassment -- much less "hostile environment." Anyone with a passing knowledge of the law would know that Jimmy's joke doesn't rise to that level. It does not come close to that. He did the right thing by saying he was sorry, in a card, and showed real class by buying a small gift as well. If Ana needs money, she could auction the card?

  12.  @edward481  Er, what makes you think you have freedom of speech at work? No. Everyone knows you don't. I hope everyone knows. It's a private business. Government can't force them to grant employees free speech rights. It would violate their freedom of association. (I.e., the freedom to fire you if they don't approve of what you say on their premises during work.)

  13. You think Microsoft can't fire someone who updates other employees on the latest Bill Gates-Jeffrey Epstein revelations? If they don't fire him, it might be because they fear the publicity. But it's up to them to weigh it. The government can't do anything about it. The employee can't win a suit based on the First Amendment.

  14.  @edward481  I don't agree with it. I'm telling you the truth. In America, you can express any opinion you like, or make jokes, and your job can have security escort you out the door the same day. That's how it works here. That is literally the law, absent a contract (such as a union contract) to the contrary. Where did I say I agreed? You'd advise individuals to test it? They'll risk being summarily fired without a right to unemployment compensation.

  15. She'll never have that money.

  16. 1. TYT supports Russiagate 2. TYT made a huge push against Force the Vote, or any other strategy to get a floor vote on Medicare For All, or on any other progressive policy that DNC opposes, while pretending to be in favor of "pushing Biden left." 3. TYT now smeared Aaron Mate, who recently came back from Syria, and then they went after Jimmy for supporting Aaron.

  17. Not a personal vendetta, IOW.

  18. Let's back up here. When there is a gas attack and children are killed, under what circumstances would it be helpful, to children, to bomb the country where this attack was committed? How would you go about that, for the wellbeing of civilians? "We have to do something."
