We really need a Herman Cain Award for Trumpers who have lost their livelihoods. I used to love the old compilations of dozens of posts only to have the inevitable “COVID ain’t no joke”.

Lol I don’t know how I’ve never seen that pic until now but it is cracking me up

Huh now it’s got me wondering if that’s where the word “cooperate” comes from. Maybe it takes more more than one person to make a barrel.

Wait, what’s a “Cooper”?

Don’t let an arse-decorated (πυγόστολος) woman

I love how there is an ancient word specific for “arse-decorated”.

I was searching for Macho Man gifs the other day to send to friend. I made the mistake in doing it in Chrome and not in an incognito window. Now my algorithms serve up a constant stream of WWE content. Figure it’ll take a couple weeks to go back to normal.

And Bob Odenkirk too!

I’m theory, the board of directors is supposed to keep a CEO in check if they do something that is against the best interest of the shareholders. But the share price actually went up after he made this move.

Same reason share prices often go up when a company announces layoffs. The market isn’t always tied to how well a business is run.

It sickens me that these cuts are seen as “saving money”. It’d be like if I told my wife I saved us a ton of money this month by not paying the mortgage.

You’re telling me that the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment isn’t the most qualified person to lead the Department of Education? ShockedPikachuFace

Your mistake is not buying them in bulk.

What’s that watermark in the bottom right?

Of course that wasn’t the official reason he gave. He hired a management consultant group to do a study of where all the top restaurant talent was in the country. Surprise, surprise, all the criteria they were given led them to narrow down the ideal location for the corporate headquarters to be right next to his house in Newport Beach.

That was just the 400 FTEs. There were also lost of contractors that were affected as well! Most people don’t count them since they could have been let go for any reason.

Looks like TSLA is up 8% today. So seems to have solved Elon’s immediate problem of the stock tanking.

I’m also curious to see if Trump’s cult leader power can overcome decades of oil and gas brainwashing. Conservatives have proven they’ll quickly throw away their beliefs when Trump tells them to, but it’s not always reliable.

For example, in 2020 conservatives were all for Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” to find a COVID vaccine. But as soon as Biden won and the vaccines rolled out in 2021, many conservatives took an antivax stance. Later, Trump got booed at one of his rallies for suggesting that people get vaccinated.

So he can steer the cult agenda, but not always successfully. I guess we’ll see how this plays out.

Yeah, same guy who fired nearly everyone at the Chipotle corporate office in Denver so he didn’t have to commute.

How do you get him inside though?

The biggest problem is that CNN and FoxNews are 24/7 “news” channels. So 99%+ of their air time is filler.

In this case, I didn’t really fault CNN though. This is the first time in history the White House has been sold as a car dealership, so I understand their use of the tag.
