The GOP has used the threat of a government shutdown many times to hold this country hostage. And when it comes to remembering who’s at fault for it, most of the U.S. electorate has the memory of a crack-addled ferret. But if you have a government shutdown THIS close to an election, some of them just might remember who caused it.
“The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.”
Damn right, I’m not helping.
Company-wide email: “We had our best year EVER and it’s all thanks to YOU!”
Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”
“Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”
This. It’s the creativity, inspiration, imagination and hard work of the employees that give the company its value, NOT the owners. Proof: all the franchises that have failed spectacularly once all the smart, creative people have left the company and the only ones left are untalented hacks.
Also, it is LONG past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.
how do I accept I’ll never know why any employer rejected me?
Ask yourself if it was ever a real job offer to begin with. Did you have the required skills? Were your pay requirements reasonable? (For YOU not them). Then you did fine.
If your elected leaders are using your tax dollars to send guns and tanks and bombs to Israel then THEY are responsible for the resulting carnage, not YOU. And your time would be better spent electing better leaders instead of setting yourself on fire.
This is the classic Trump response to an awkward, uncomfortable question. 1) Don’t answer the question and then 2) Answer another question that nobody asked.
For example, when Trump was asked about paying for hookers, instead of simply saying, “I don’t patronize prostitutes” he said, “I’m a germophobe” instead.
Walk into any old graveyard and notice all the tiny little tombstones of children who died before the age of two. Before vaccines were in use.
Now notice how almost NONE of those tombstones are recent.

Shock The Monkey In My Ass.
“WHAT WAS HE HIDING?”
Well, meatballs, obviously.
Words mean things. Stop simping for millionaires. It’s embarrassing to watch.
I think he meant exactly what he said. The arrogance and entitlement of millionaires is VERY well documented.
“Hold them captive.” Those are HIS words. There is no other way to interpret that.
“So another reason for them to come and enjoy work: drop the little tykes off next door. We’ve got doctors on board and nurses, we’re going to feed them, but mum and dad will be working in our office.”
The fact that you needed to explicitly SAY that is a little disturbing. What was your original plan? To store the kids in a fridge?
And then some minion had to tell you, “sir, children need food water and air to stay alive.”
Seems a little weird that a country that blows hard about “freedom” and “democracy” forces you to recite a loyalty oath every day.
Yup. Also, “permitted onto the premises?” Arlington is open to the public.
Trump did that stupid “thumbs up” thing again at Arlington while posing for pictures with the families. He always does that at the most inappropriate time and place.
Exactly where do you think you ARE, Donald? You’re not opening a mall. It’s like someone playing a kazoo at a funeral.
Morgan Stanley and BOA will find ever bigger suckers to sell those loans to once they’ve had a chance to repackage them.
It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.
Well. More porn for the rest of us.
