Nepotism (noun):

When competence takes a smoke break and connections clock in.

A magical system where your last name is a résumé, your GPA is optional, and your dad’s scandals are just “networking opportunities.”

Synonyms: Silver spoon management, Daddy’s Boardroom, Failing upward.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

This was the day (1/6/2021) the military should’ve been deployed. The REAL enemy from within.
