In my mind, I see a small starving child, going from table to table in this horrific ballroom, begging for scraps of food....#Ballroom

OK, friend. Point taken.

but they'll enjoy the unlimited bullying they get to do...

I think they have to stay employed for some periods of time to earn the signing bonus I know we expect them to be that stupid, but evidently someone did some proof reading.

How about I hate the Hooters business model of exploiting women?

sunbirdie.bsky.social @sunbirdie.bsky.social · 6h

My point is that if they think it's so fun to be a waitress with them emphasizing that tits are the business model, then maybe they should put their sons into the same business model. Oh wait - not much market for that, eh?

OMG, I am so sorry - yes, I will be sure to direct any "curses" I'm able to conjure to 47!!! I probably won't be very effective anyway, but hope springs eternal...

AND I BELIEVE HE MEANS IT
👇
Oregon's National Guard Adjutant General, Brigadier General Alan Gronewold, In the reports, he is alleged to have said that if his National Guard members were deployed to defend protesters, they would protect the protesters, not Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

We should be celebrating our presidents birthday today but folks voted for Donald Trump so we’re demolishing The White House East Wing and deploying National Guard troops in Portland instead. 😭

Or maybe I just want them to sit in something like a dunking booth but where their former waitresses can just kick them in the balls for a few dollars.

Someday I want to hire their grandsons to have to walk around with their balls hanging out and measured on a regular basis and tips measured by how many times they agreed to laugh when someone made a crude comment on their body.

oh man, haven't you heard? He's POTUS! (nothing else matters to him).

sunbirdie.bsky.social @sunbirdie.bsky.social · 6h

No one but you has dreamed of this nightmare! It's an abomination and I'm working on a way to place a curse on it that will impact you and all those who made it possible.

Has anyone published the plans/design for this yet?

sunbirdie.bsky.social @sunbirdie.bsky.social · 6h

I'm sorry - if it's just for his balls, we could have taken a corner of a closet somewhere....

sunbirdie.bsky.social @sunbirdie.bsky.social · 6h

I'm thinking that's a really interesting turn!

Been through a couple of these, so I have mine in CD's, or extremely low risk investments - I'm ok with not making much back. I'm too old to learn to like cat food in retirement.

I took enough martial arts to get a black belt in TKD (which is what most of us consider to be relatively a high school diploma). I always said that whatever capabilities I had were expressed in defense mode only and never offense.

I still say that a country of our size getting even close to that is already triggering the movement. And wait till the health care costs become public in two weeks!

Best story I've read all day. Halligan is unfamiliar with even the basics, but is willing to try to run with the big dogs.... sorry if my empathy is lacking here.

Much as I want him to go to jail, we have to deal in TRUTH and evidence. Otherwise we become what we despise.

Rumor has it that the character of Biff was based on Trump....

Aren't we still in the era of only one Republican needs to request?

They haven't retooled toilet paper hangers to match the decreased width, so yeah, it's noticeable...😉

Evidently there are a string of agencies that provide oversight, but ultimately the President has a great deal of leeway (unless someone like Congress objects - like THAT would happen...). I'm appalled, dismayed, horrified, outraged, disgusted and aghast - but not particularly surprised.
