he had displayed an improper “political” message in the workplace during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden

The gay pride flag was displayed during his assignment in California under President Joe Biden? That is completely ridiculous. Thought crime is one thing, but retroactive thought crime is delusion.

Thought crimes are very often retroactive.

During Soviet times figures drifted in and out of favour. An old joke:

Three men are sitting in a jail cell. “How did you end up here?” asks one the other. “I criticized Karl Radek,” he says. “No way!” replies the first man. “I got here for supporting Karl Radek!”

They turn over to the third guy in the corner and ask him why he got there. He sighs heavily and answers: “I’m Karl Radek.”

Well, I mean, the moment you start thinking of the United States of America as being like the good ole’ Soviet Union, you know something is wrong.
It is amazing how Americans manage to be so arrogant regardless of reality. Has it ever occurred to you that the US has funded death squads across the world? Trump is pretty par for the course, he’s just terrorizing American cities instead of South American or Middle Eastern.
