      - Faces significant financial penalty if he does though. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 15:14
Last week, TiVo laid off the best employee they've ever had. I think they're at the end of the line. -- nm - David Aug 23, 14:24 2

- That was his message immediately before. He gets in front of his crowd and he can't stick to the script. He just wants to hear them cheer so he - pmb Aug 23, 14:15 6
  - His final years will be a tormenting chorus of how poor of a President he was. It'll haunt him to his grave. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 23, 14:19 5
    - It won't haunt him to his grave because he lacks the self-awareness to see any validity in any criticism. He'll just believe he's been treated - pmb Aug 23, 14:24 4
      - I'll be happy if he spends his post presidency days in a dark room surrounded by jars of his own urine. -- nm - TWuG Aug 23, 15:22 2
        
        "post" -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 15:35 1

  - I've been the opposite. Had the IGNORE on him since the campaign. Since his "many sides" speech though, -- (edited) - con_carne Aug 23, 14:23 1
    - Well, I don't mean to say I'm ignoring him. It's more that there now is nothing he can say that will change my opinion of him. He's committed now. -- nm - Qale Aug 23, 14:25
I've tried several times since this past weekend, and I'm still having trouble registering for MoviePass. :( -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 14:11
