  1. Some crazy finishes. Especially the ManU match. Fun to watch, even though I wouldn't have been disappointed to see ManU go down.
  2. It really seems like these big dollar donors to Trump from the energy sector would have already explained to him the issue when oil prices get too low. Then again, this is Trump. His 3rd grade understanding of international markets and economies probably wouldn't allow that to sink in.
  3. In recent news story I watched, El Salvador said they do have evidence of him being a gang member while in El Salvador. Of course, when asked, they wouldn't show this evidence.
  4. If I worked for the State Department I think I would start telling my story of how the Salvation Army is just as bad as the Catholic Church as far as kid molesting pastors. Who of course once found out were just moved to another location. Unfortunately, a family member of mine was a victim of this back in the 60's. messed her up something good. I would bet it is still going on now. You know, typical Christian behavior. Would telling the truth get me in trouble? Who am I kidding , the truth doesn't matter in a fascist state.
  5. Ok. So who do we lay off first? Warehouse guys? Customer service reps? IT people? You know the execs aren't going to give up their pay. Not even saying anything about the shareholders.
  6. I know. That line makes me think he is posting this in the break room of Trump Tower (or wherever the fuck he worked at). Which brings up another thought, can you imagine the type of correspondence he had with his employees? Every single one of them had to know how stupid and insane he is.
  7. My previous two stops were at companies that sold products exclusively sourced from China. I had no idea we were getting financially raped by China when we took those products and sold them from four to twenty times more than we paid for them. In the case for medical supplies sometimes even more than that. I guess those millions of dollars of profits and hundreds of jobs were just the lube China used as thy were screwing us. Who knew?
  8. Getting rid of anti American ideology, but restoring confederate statues? Hmmm.
  9. Add another name to the impeachment list.
  10. When I was working for a large energy company in Oklahoma, we had a ton of H1B visa holders. I think my whole team except maybe one guy was from India on a visa. I'm not sure how it works in other areas, but I can tell you It wasn't cheap to hire those guys (and a few ladies). The actual visa holder made less than our FTEs, but the agencies that find and sponsor them charged an arm and a leg. Maybe that was just for BFE Oklahoma, I don't know. However, I can tell you, that if enough of the rednecks in the state actually knew IT, we would have preferred to hire them. The visa route was a necessity to get the job done.
  11. My current employer doesn't allow H1B employees. That means this is the first time I have never had any as part of my software development team. I do however sponsor contractors through different software firms that work on a number of my projects. I have no idea what their immigrations status is. Those contractors far outnumber my full time employees. This could make for a very interesting few years.
  12. As soon as I compliment the save he does that.
  13. Nice save!
  14. There was nowhere near the emphasis previously on tariffs being the fix all elixir. I'm hoping there are enough sycophants with half a brain to make sure he isn't actually able to do this to the extent that he wants to. Same goes with the mass deportation crap. Don't give me the line "we are only getting rid of criminals". We are doing the exact same thing right now now.
  15. Useful idiot. His behavior will be the same as before. The last person to compliment him gets what they want. The guys at project 2025 appear to know how to play this game. Putin knows this game. All folks that the average American probably doesnt want to have anywhere near the President. There will be a lot of pain and suffering for certain segments of our society and the world. Here we are though. They just care about the "economy" . Which is fair. I just wish more than a handful actually knew how it works.
  16. I work from home and there is a Chili's maybe half a mile from house. I wasn't planning on visiting, but then I was reminded of the Southwestern egg rolls above. I might have to head there for lunch and order those and a pour of their best bourbon (heaven knows what that will be). Should make for an interesting afternoon of work.
  17. At first I thought this guy was just a bad troll. Now I’m starting to think he is just that stupid.
  18. Yeah, four years is a long time when you are that age. He already at the old man yelling at clouds stage. Hell, he could be running around on a scooter at that point. No way that body can take that weight for much longer.
  19. I only lived on the gulf side of Florida for 8 years. I remember many storms heading that direction from Mexico across the gulf. Not all hurricanes obviously, but same theory. BTW, my old stomping grounds are in the middle of the current projection. They are already dealing with enough from the storm surge from the last one. This one could get really bad in those areas.
  20. Is there a separate report with the number of black jobs created? I bet it was zero. Or at least that is what I'm sure we will hear from the orange shit stain later today.
