Like yeah this is someone who hasn't even started and her friends are already stirring poo poo online and outright tagging the entire org in some missplaced attempt for INTERNET JUSTICE?

Textbook example of red flags worth taking action and revoking an offer as far as any higher up ever in the history of humanity is concerned. No doubt they have a pile of other applicants just standing by

how did he humiliate her? by tweeting at her? seems like it was the viral nature of telling a top expert in your field to suck your lowly intern dick that was the problem

turns out actions have consequences

I just meant that if he had an actual problem with how she was using twitter, he could've kept it down low through dms or whatever instead of trying to publicly shame her like some tottering senior citizen wagging their finger at those drat youths. That's all. Don't get me wrong, I still like the idea of someone losing a job cause they unwittingly cussed out their boss. But it appears things aren't what they seemed anyway so it's a moot point.

He could have. On the other hand, she's a goddamn idiot who probably didn't deserve to get fired for her first tweet and absolutely did for the second. Not because its somehow offensive, but because it displays such a staggering lack of awareness and judgement jesus christ how is anyone mad at Homer Hickam here

Yeah there's a lot of stupid people involved for sure I just think him searching nasa and then posting at her like that is still lame as gently caress even if he didn't demand her be fired etc. Like if I was in the pub with the lads and someone old person came over and say they heard me say gently caress during normal conversation and they didn't like it I'd tell them to gently caress off too. I guess it'd suck if it turned out they were some rando board member at the multinational I work for but sure look

It's cool he's trying to get her internship back and it was an incorrect judgment to assume he'd gotten her fired. Still an old bithc move to be searching nasa like that and moderating language like an old bitch

Take a step back and think about it; it's not just some old dude creeping on people tagging nasa; the whole of nasa likely creeps on #nasa and it wasn't a dick move to be like "I'm publicly censuring you so that you have a chance to be like 'whoops' in this chain so that when whoever manages our media presence sees this it's not such a big deal, but then you forcibly told me to put your genitals in my mouth, so... I guess I'll do what I can when you get formally reported."

E: and yeah, if she couldn't figure that out without a DM then NASA probably doesn't want her around, being a weird dick with an active online presence and no apparent ability to discern, or at very least be quiet.

I mean, what do you do for a living? I'm not saying that as some kind of preamble to an insult, but your job probably doesn't matter enough in the right way for your online behavior to matter, so long as you're not going around being like "I'm Joe\Jane Nobody and I gently caress kids! My employer, Chartered Accounting X, endorses this stance on preferred conduct vis a vis the holes of children as well!". I know my job pretty much doesn't care about what I'm doing online, so long as they're not being asked to comment on my behavior by local news. It would be weird if our bosses searched us online unprovoked, but that's because we're not that important.

NASA is definitely going to police behavior around its name, insofar as employees of NASA go. It's a public good that wants to be mild as milk so that it can sell science and the wonder of space exploration to everyone. An employee telling people to shut the gently caress up, then telling someone to suck their dick (and balls), is not... mild as milk.

No. If you swear near a kid and someone says language you don't freak out nor is saying language public shame. I know etiquette is non existent since the 90's but not everyone is autistic as you.

Like, there's a reason why the only people that don't use fake names to be irony\weird dirtbags on the internet are people for whom confrontational, antisocial behavior is deemed normal, if not preferred, career enhancing behaviors. You know, like comedians or the president.

poo poo is increasingly unraveling. the more of this stuff that comes to light, the more trump is just a loving liability. right now the republicans are split, plenty of them want to distance themselves from the guy but the republican electorate are absolute frothing lunatics who love trump for being a tell-it-like-it-is wannabe strongman so they have to gently lick his rear end in a top hat in public at the cost of their political careers. and the gulf between the GOP base and reality is only getting wider

Depends on the election in November.

If Democrats get control of the House, which is more likely than not right now, they'll impeach him and have endless investigations, but Trump will never be removed from office by Congress and he's immune from prosecution while in office.

Now, he might get forced out like Nixon if he sufficiently hurts GOP interests, and the first time that can be felt nationally is November. But for now, the GOP is absolutely more afraid of their Trump-loving base than anything. As long as that remains true, Trump will face no consequences.

no political consequences

cohen's admission leaves a paper trail to the trump org (the gov't has receipts proving they were involved with reimbursing cohen for campaign finance violations) which could lead to state level charges. for example, new york could shut down the trump org which would directly gently caress with trump's money
