    A lot of things struck me in there, but the most shocking were the accusation of retribution on the communities of people in districts which their representative opposed certain measures the police union wanted.

    Yeah I think we all agree that unions are awful. Very good point, Unimane.

    I'm pretty sure even LA is allowed to have funerals, just with limited attendees.

    Something tells me you missed the part where he noted how the author stated the Police Federation shouldn't really be referred to as a union and didn't work in concert with other unions in the area. So, I'm going to amend it to federation instead of union.

    But, that was also like the 11th most important item in that thread.

    Good call. I think we can all agree that federation is a better term. The U-word carries too strong an attachment to oppression. I am henceforth banning the U-word from the forum. The Unimane rule goes into effect immediately.

    Be proud, brother. You have changed the forum.

    No, I noted how the author said the specific police organization was a federation and he was pro-union. Are we just going to be stupid or do you have something of relative importance to say on the thread?

    Is that the active guideline?

    Because you stated these things about funerals in the PRESENT tense, in response to a FUTURE tense funeral.

    So if you're quoting a PAST tense guideline, I can only now ask... why?

    Are you willing to admit you are often out of touch, but make statements as if they are fact, and then when challenged, deflect and say things like "have no idea. Have you gotten this out of your system yet?," rather than simply saying "my bad, I had bad information."

    Nominate dumber candidates.

    Biden is a damned strong start.

    There’s a bevy of Never-Trumpers who think they’re conservatives, but who are really just Democrats. Grab one of those.

    I’d vote against Trump and for Hillary if it meant every union immediately dissolved and it was illegal to form again.

    I’d buy season tickets to a MLB team.
