President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 08:14 AM) That was from the president of the organization she is going to meet with. Nothing is shocking with this administration anymore. Betsy DeVos is human f***ing garbage. Man I can see it now. There is no such thing as rape, it's fake news.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 01:29 PM) The onus changed 100% when Hillary lost. It wouldn't have been politicized if she had won, and it wasn't before because they thought she would win. Yeah I think the situation was extremely delicate. I could only imagine the fallout from Obama saying Russia is meddling with our elections in favor or Trump would have played. The epitome of a rock and a hard place for politicians.

President Donald Trump: The Thread
QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 08:16 AM) The whole family is incredibly stupid. A very dumb mafia like family. Now now, don't associate mafia with dumb. The Trumps just operate as they are above the law. It's not that surprising really.

Another United Airlines debacle
QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 09:56 AM) Why didn't United tell the stand by guy, tough luck buddy, she bought the kid a ticket in advance, you didn't. You lose. Or why didn't United ask for volunteers to take a different flight? Oh yeah, because they're extremely greedy. I feel for the mother. I have a 5 and 1 year old. We've flown numerous times with a baby/toddler. Being on a flight for 3.5 hours WITH the extra seat is brutal enough. Having to occupy that toddler in between your legs/on your lap, alone, would be a nightmare. I can't believe that United's corporate office hasn't put out a company wide memo in the wake of this ongoing PR nightmare to go overboard in assisting customers to make tough situations right. You know that passengers and the media are waiting to post another "United sucks" story. Why allow it? Offer up free tickets or multiple free tickets to give the kid a seat and prevent yet another news story. When you think you're bulletproof, these things will continue to happen. People are still flying their airlines, they see these incidents as no more than a hiccup.

The power struggle is real. Two stubborn men that rather continue to fight over a dick measuring contest than to figure out how to work together.

Job Thread
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 11:53 PM) Very solid offer, small bump up financially but a great opportunity in a company that is rock solid financially and I absolutely loved the people I interviewed with. Planning on accepting Monday. The team I'm on is about 4-5 times the size of my current team, it's pretty crazy. And I'll be the product manager for the technology, so hands off and focused on design, prioritization, user experience, etc. Very excited to hopefully make impactful changes. Good stuff mate. Where are you moving?

2017 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 09:58 PM) Too bad liberal hollywood isnt as good at meddling in elections as those pesky Russians. 30+ million for another loser lol. 0-4 so far in 2017. Still waiting on that referendum on Trump I keep hearing about from CNN! It's obvious the democrats keep picking losers. They think Trump's impending implosion will keep people voting for status quo democrats? lol
