The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Can one imagine a patient of Pretti’s talking politics and said he supports President Trump?
Code One, Code One patient does not have a pulse. Emergency detail report to room 203.

Sure. Your Alzheimer's is showing for all to see.

Rule Changes: The VA updated its medical bylaws to remove specific language that previously barred discrimination based on "politics" and "marital status". The new language focuses on prohibiting discrimination based on "legally protected status".

MAGA is NOT a "legally protected status".

Thus, ALL staff at ALL VA facilities can refuse service to MAGA.

Context: These changes followed an executive order from President Trump in January 2025 regarding gender and federal policy.

Moral/religious objection by staff is PERMITTED per Spankee.

You got what you wanted. MAGA dying faster and faster. Their choice? Or choice by Spankee?
