Channel 58 Fires Meteorologist For Being A Good American

The United States has a long history of opposing fascism.  Our country was founded by people looking for freedom of religion.  We had a bloody civil war to end slavery.  We fought in WWII to stop the Nazis because they were killing Jews, homosexuals and anyone else that didn't meet their approval. That is why we call the brave people that fought against the Nazis The Greatest Generation.

But this country has now lost its way.

Last week, during the Orange Felon's inauguration (note to MAGA - it was an inauguration, not a coronation), his puppet master, Elmo Musty, deccided to do a Nazi salute, not just once, but twice.  And yes, it was a Nazi salute.  To make sure everyone knew that he was a fascist pig, Elmo then went on to crack jokes about the Holocaust and spoke to a neo-Nazi party in Germany, telling them to let go of past guilt for killing millions of people.  

Like millions of other Americans, CBS58's then meteorologist Sam Kuffel, expressed her outrage on her private social media account on Instagram.  That is what true Americans do.  It's what our parents, grandparents and great grandparents would have done.

But like I said, the country has lost its way.

Right wing squawkere Danny Boy O'Donnell got wind of Kuffel's posts, and being the Nazi collaborator that he is, squealed like a pig about it, calling her posts "vulgar" and "lies."  If O'Donnell was alive in Nazi Germany, he would have been the guy who ratted out Anne Frank.

O'Donnell and his other Nazi sympathizers raised such a stink that CBS58 removed their own spine and fired Kuffel.

Yes, you read that right.  Kuffel was fired for condemning a Nazi salute.  

Apparently, CBS 58's news director, Jessie Garcia felt that their ratings were too high or something.  

From what I've seen on the various social media platforms, Garcia might have her wish come true.  Thousands of people have been barraging the "news" station with angry emails and phone calls.  And a lot of people have said that they are done with CBS "news" and maybe even the station entirely.  

When people can get elected besides being a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist but get critized for a Nazi gesture, well, our grandparents and great grandparents that fought in WWII must be rolling in their graves right now.  

If we allow this to continue, we will become known as the Least Generation.

ADDENDUM: This is O'Donnell showing his white supremacy for the world to see:

Why You Should Delete Uber

On Saturday night, in response to Trump's Nazi-esque ban on Muslim immigrants, the New York cabbies did a one hour work stoppage at the JFK airport. While it was just one hour, it was enough to cause a certain amount of pandemonium.

Uber CEO Travis Kalanick decided to not honor the strike and sent in his drivers. When they experienced an immediate backlash for not respecting the basic human and civil rights being violated by the ban, he also angered the unions by not respecting the strike.

Uber tried to explain it all away by pointing out they didn't engage their price gouging practice due to the higher level of demand. Gee, how bigly of them.

Still feeling the heat, Uber came out with even more bigly moves to try to control the self-inflicted damage:

So it’s important that as a community that we do everything we can to help these drivers. Here’s what Uber will do:

- Provide 24/7 legal support for drivers who are trying to get back into the country. Our lawyers and immigration experts will be on call 24/7 to help.
- Compensate drivers for their lost earnings. This will help them support their families and put food on the table while they are banned from the US;
- Urge the government to reinstate the right of U.S. residents to travel - whatever their country of origin - immediately;
- Create a $3 million legal defense fund to help drivers with immigration and translation services.

Now, being the union thug that I am, my first suggestion would be to honor the strike and cool your heels. Failing that, I would have suggested using the public transit system, but they would probably be honoring the strike, which goes back to cooling your heels. It's only an hour, for crying out loud.

Now, I know some people might be thinking, "So what if they violated the strike, it was only an hour. And so what if they don't have any respect for human rights, civil rights or even the Constitution, I still have to get to the club/gym/mall/whatever. Why should I stop using Uber? They did try to make things right."

Well, if the gentle reader just so happens to be one of those people, let me make it easier for you.

Kalanick is a big Trump guy and has even joined Trump's administration as an economic advisor. If you're going to spend your hard earned money for a ride, do you really want it going to supporting Trump's fascist agenda?

Being the union thug that I am, my first suggestion would be to use the public transit system. Bus drivers are unionized and it will help the community because increased ridership means increased funding.

If for some reason, one just can't use public transit, might I point out that the founders of Lyft took an entirely different approach to Trump's Naziism? They not only issued a strongly worded condemnation of Trump's actions but also pledged $1 million to the ACLU who is fighting it in court and winning.
If I had to spend money on a ride, I'd rather it going to the people fighting fascism and not those supporting it.

Whatever your reasoning is, please, just do the right thing and delete uber off your phone and do it now.
