2. I think lil devin got tips from the big cheese

That's what dumpf does, sue everybody that laughs at him, everybody that tells the truth about him.

It's worked somewhat for captain clownstick for decades so he's emulating his hero.

Good luck.

Frontier offers no paid parental leave for its employees, and regularly penalizes employees for pregnancy-related absences.

Frontier has forced pregnant employees off the job, even before their doctors said they were unable to fly.

It has refused to provide them temporary ground positions, despite having done so for others with medical conditions that rendered them temporarily unable to fly.

The situation is equally bad for employees who are breastfeeding when they return to work.

Little to no accommodations were made for them to breast pump in a clean, private place. Our clients found themselves pumping in airplane lavatories, scrubbing them with bleach beforehand.

Frontier has gone so far as to ban our clients from pumping at work—even though they work 10-12-hour days.

They have experienced pain and health issues, even mastitis, because they weren’t able to pump when they needed to. Others decided to give up breastfeeding altogether.

The decision to breastfeed is a personal one. It should not be dictated by employers or conditions at work.

Like workers in all industries, airline employees get pregnant, have babies, and breastfeed.

That Frontier thinks it can ignore those facts is shameful and frankly archaic.

It’s almost 2020, @FlyFrontier. Pregnancy and breast-feeding discrimination won’t fly.

8. If nothing else, gotta love them for their enemies:

10. Oh, those were hysterical

though very disturbing. Who takes the time to do that? It actually takes some time and effort, not like going to some online forum and posting BS anonymously.

9. Not always.

They support the Citizen United decision.

11. That was kind of weird

and disappointing.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

14. Especially since the "movie"

was hit piece on Secretary Clinton.

[soldierant]

12. Their support for that one

does, at least, heighten the necessity for a Constitutional Amendment.

If anyone were tempted to ask, "Why bother?" well. that's why.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

13. They will fight that amendment too

Unfortunately, legitimate concern over the influence of “big money” in politics has led some to propose a constitutional amendment to reverse the decision. The ACLU will firmly oppose any constitutional amendment that would limit the free speech clause of the First Amendment.

Last paragraph of https://www.aclu.org/other/aclu-and-citizens-united

I usually agree with them, but not always.

16. They appear to be absolutists.

I have yet to find an absolutist position I can support all the way to their ends.

Doesn't mean I haven't donated to them, just not nearly as much as I might have.

5. If it were reversed, the cow would be entitled to moo process.
