I would like to posit that what he did at the El Paso hospital yesterday is THE most appalling disgusting thing he's done as .. - mud Aug 8, 14:45 8
- He was so awful in El Paso probably because by that time he realized how much of a debacle his Dayton visit was earlier in the day. -- nm - Jovian Aug 8, 14:56 4
  - I don't know (or care anymore) what he realizes, thinks or believes. He is completely reactive in the moment. Utter Numbskull. -- nm - mud Aug 8, 14:59 1
    - oh I agree. I am just saying thats why he was even more unhinged by the time he was in El Paso - Jovian Aug 8, 15:02
  - see here is the thing. He doesn't see that. -- nm - Remlik Aug 8, 14:58 1
    - "They're tweeting about me, that's great news. Great news." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 14:58
- it's not. He did that same shit at Parkland and then went to his country club -- nm - Remlik Aug 8, 14:53 2
  - it's also like his visit to the Pittsburgh synagogue, but this time his complicity is even more obvious. -- nm - mud Aug 8, 14:56 1

      - Yeah, I've seen that. - Krusty Aug 8, 15:00
    - heh - Jovian Aug 8, 14:50 1
      - If they were spending billions a year on their transit then I'm sure they'd have better than what we both have today. - Krusty Aug 8, 14:58
- Also, the final ended in a tie, so they had a tie-breaker. Which also ended in a tie. - Roger More Aug 8, 14:36 4
  - I'm told that important games were rained out, and it hurt Disney so much that they'll get millions back from insurance. What's that about? -- nm - David Aug 8, 14:37 3
    - I dunno about "important games" but basically the group stage of the tournament was a round robin format with every team playing every other team - Roger More Aug 8, 14:54 2
      - I think Hotstar had broadcasting rights to everything, so all lost games hurt their bottom line. - David Aug 8, 14:57 1

- No one's seen the movie, but here's THR's story which goes from the script (unsure if it was final or draft) - Roger More Aug 8, 14:30 2
  - well from the commercials that is definitely how it appears - Jovian Aug 8, 14:38
  - And The Purge movies are literally about hunting down "undesirables". -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 14:33

One of our VPs retired 12 months ago. An associate here just left a VM at the ex employee's home requesting her insight on an old project. - Max Aug 8, 13:44 7
- I would argue if the ex-employee did not provide that information prior to their departure, they're obligated to do so now. - Mop Aug 8, 13:55 1
  - asking for a contact name seems more like 'we don't know where you kept your contact list', not 'you purposely withheld critical info.' -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 14:09
