POTUS 45.3 - Bowling Green Massacre Memorial Thread

Macy's I agree but I think Nordstrom's went 98% online a while ago.

There will always be a niche to separate stupid rich people from their money.

You could be right on Nordstroms. They likely have much better margins than Macy's. It seems like Macy's got stuck in the dreaded no mans land.

They might not want to cite that one, since a white Christian dude was responsible.

That was fake news.

All those attacks, Planned Parenthood bombings, OK City, the SC church murders, Doggart, Hutatree, Army of God, Eric Rudolph, etc. were actually dark-skinned Muslims that TEH LYIN MEDIA covered up by falsely reporting they were white Christian males.

Also: Muslims killed Jesus.

Macy's is headed wherever Gimbels went. Sears is probably going there too.

To be honest, though, I don't mourn the department stores, especially since they're being driven out not so much by the internet as by apparel stores. It would be even better if those stores weren't massive chains.

Christ, just restrict public companies to a certain market cap ceiling. Let the small fry compete.

This is a joke to you, and yet you were Very Concerned about Emailz. Interesting.

I was? If you're going to make ***** up about posters, at least make up something that's not subject to verification by simply going back and checking the threads.

I think it would be funny if Twitter just decided to shut down his account.

... and a blessing.

If Twitter did that the over and under on Trump being behind the Briefing Room microphone is 20 minutes (time of day does not matter).

Re: POTUS 45.3 - Bowling Green Massacre Memorial Thread

Speaking of, Trump and his buddies are still walking around the White House n their bathrobes, attending meetings, receiving classified briefings, all with their personal PA devices.

Isn't it funny how that's suddenly not important? It's almost as if the people who screeched about it for 6 months were just partisan hacks and hypocrites.

That is "Operation: FOOTBULLET" well underway. They'll hang by a noose of their own making. No sympathy for self-inflicted wounds.

Why isn't the media jumping all over this? Or are they waiting for the smoking gun (and not just a loaded gun, safety off, pointed at a toe)?

That's the beauty of it. Shut it down about 2 a.m. Then just wait for the White House press corps to be dragged out of bed, hung over, to hear him go off on Twitter shutting down his account.

He's in full on pout rage today, mad at the world or something. I was called an apologist for the president earlier, which can easily be dispelled by simply reviewing my posts.

BTW, the "Atlanta terror attack" is the new one that the Trump Apologentsia here will be tripping over their dicks trying explain what they really meant.

To be fair, I do recall Atlanta getting lit up last Sunday.

Nope. Have probably gotten an email or two, but have never checked or responded to them outside of business hours. I don't get paid enough to let work impede on my off the clock time.

Ha, at my job we even have the oft used phrase "I'm not on the clock yet."

I believe "poutrage" is generally accepted as a single word.

Between a job (that includes having to support machines spread across six time zones, plus normal engineering design and development work), a hobby job, and serving as a director of a Form 990 organization, I don't have "off the clock" time. People depend on me to be there when they need me. To me it's not about the pay; it's about the pride in what I do.

Imagine the wingnut chitstorm if Obama had used his oval office podium to publicly attack the kid who smacked Malia in the face with a dodgeball during gym class.

Re: POTUS 45.3 - Bowling Green Massacre Memorial Thread

Isn't the answer to the strong/weak dollar question: What's your economic policy going to be? (You manipulate the value of the dollar as a means to that end.)

PS - Who here hasn't received a work-related phone call (boss, customer) or email between midnight and 0500 hours? I average about two per calendar quarter.

Because I have contacts that work both U.S. and SE Asia business hours it happens more often than I'd like, but no one contacts me asking how to perform a liver transplant as it's completely outside my business acumen. The time of day of his query is only mildly perplexing as compared to the source he tried to tap.

Your poutrage amuses me.
I've hacked on (not deflected for) Trump for DeVos and for the continued lunacy of using unsecured devices.

But, just the same, carry on.

Re: POTUS 45.3 - Bowling Green Massacre Memorial Thread

A Senate Rule Silenced Elizabeth Warren. Is That Rule So Bad?

Senate Rule 19 includes this prohibition: "No Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator." ...

She criticized Jeff Sessions, a Republican senator from Alabama and the nominee to lead the Justice Department. ...

According to Senate Republicans, Warren impugned the "conduct or motive" of Sessions, who is expected to be confirmed as attorney general Wednesday night.

Warren's supporters saw a stifling of dissent, and asked how the mere reading a letter could violate the rule.

Until I read that (NPR) article, I thought the issue was the CSK letter. Seems it wasn't, but the letter is a handy distraction.

Now, where's the full Warren transcript to see if she impugned conduct or motive.

I ask, because Udall, later on, read the whole CSK letter on the Senate floor into the record.
