You know what sends Trumpists into apoplexy? When you point out that Trump left our border wide open to European travel, and that's why we have - loosilu Jun 3, 13:28 7
- bbbut chyna? I mean you can't blame our ancestral homeland Euroland -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:31 6
  - Oh yes, that's the immediate answer. Then I point out that the strain in NYC is from Europe. - loosilu Jun 3, 13:34 5
    - the sad thing is, it wouldn't have mattered, he did not read the reports, he didn't want to hear about it...lets say it was directly from china.... - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:39 3
      - That's what they don't -- WON'T understand. They do not want to. - loosilu Jun 3, 13:41 2
        
        they can blame Soros, he's been paying libtards to die in order to embarrass Donald, and gates spread the virus so we'd get inj with tracking chips -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:47 1

Some asshole on twitter is literally telling me we can't elect the far left because we'll have unemployment. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:21 10
- Is this one of those ‘technically the truth’ things because if you elect the far left ‘jobs’ as we know them won’t exist? -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 13:37 6
  - So, I think what's happening is they have completely exonerated Trump for unemployment because he's a victim of the virus. - loosilu Jun 3, 13:40 4
    - I am a victim of the virus! Stupid virus. -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 13:51 2

  - It’s a trickle down talking point. Left will tax corporations, instead of giving them huge tax breaks...jobs will be lost as profits are lost -- nm - Flavorize Jun 3, 13:39

  - Not a chance, though both DC and PR should be states -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 13:17 10
    - PR has the easier path. There's little opposition to it outside of PR itself. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 3, 13:21 5
      - DeMoCrAtIc StAtE -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 13:24 3
        
        Even worse .... *whisper* They're Hispanic. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:29
        
        Yup. Republicans are in no rush to add them for that reason -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 13:27 1

- they do that. it's a 6 year cycle. the names stay the same unless one is big enough to be retired. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 14:25
- another budget cut by the Donald? firing the Bureau of Naming shit, cause that's Donny's thing..we'll call them Nancy, and Schummer and... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:29

  - this is the desk I got. -- (link) - amanda Jun 3, 13:21
Some polling data -- (link) - Jovian Jun 3, 12:55 13
- WOO! Landslide! It's over. *whew* I guess I can rest comfortable until Election Day now. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 13:04
- The early polling data suggests this was Trump’s worst mistake since the first year. -- nm - David Jun 3, 12:59 11
  - Outside of the Trump factor, I feel that something is a bit...different.... this time about people's reactions to a police death. - ty97 Jun 3, 13:02 10
    - I’m both optimistic that this is true for now but pessimistic that it will last enough -- nm - JackDawson Jun 3, 13:42 1
      - this has been the way. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 14:07
    - The cops have spent six nights basically re-enforcing how violent they have been as a group. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 3, 13:25 1
      - The Battle of Lafayette Park was the dumbest move of all, in terms of PR. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:56

      - every state has its unarmed black guy dead for resisting arrest, making a move that made the officer fear for their life...my town two weeks ago - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:36
    - The greater issue is what will happen if the officers are found not guilty. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 13:07
    - My largest worry is that I felt the same after Sandy Hook. - David Jun 3, 13:06
    - probably the final sentence is correct. mostly. - tRuMaN Jun 3, 13:05 1
      - Agree with your IM. - ty97 Jun 3, 13:06
Is it wrong to be gently mocking my NYC friends who are all rushing to declare their boycott of Taco Bell, Wendy's and Pizza Hut - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 12:52 30
- To be clear (and this speaks to Spawn's post below, as well) It's not the CEO of Wendy's, but a franchisee? -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 13:24 1
  - Yes -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 13:57
- I remember getting letters in with my paychecks from our Pizza Hut franchisee that we shouldn’t vote for Obama. -- nm* - Qale Jun 3, 13:12 1
  - I thought that was Papa Johns -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:20
- Why would you mock them? - Krusty Jun 3, 13:02 4
  - I don't have an issue with them boycotting, I just think it's silly to announce it on facebook - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 13:11 3
    - *shrug* one person boycott means nothing, many people boycotting does not. not giving your money to companies with policies/views you don't support - Andie Jun 3, 14:27
    - The next time they are in Texas they’ll show them! -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 13:16 1

- I've never set foot in a chik fil a... fyi I do believe KFC is part of the same franchise corp??? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:00 12
  - Also, the CFA thing for me is that the money goes directly to the owners b/c it is a privately owned company. - ty97 Jun 3, 13:05 3
    - Except CFA locations are run by independent owner/operators - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 13:09 2
      - owner/ops are choosen carefully by the corporation as much for their spiritual and political values as they are for financial and management exp - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:24
      - That's still $$$ directly to the owners -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 13:15
  - If it's the YUM CEO, they own KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, The Habit Burger Grill, and WingStreet -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 13:03 7
    - It's not. It's MUY! Brands. -- nm - Mrs. William Henry Harrison Jun 3, 13:05 6
      - Whoops, forgot to turn off the autonick. :) -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 3, 13:14
      - Can you please explain? I was so confused by MUY. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:11 4
        
        Yum! Brands the the corporate owner of the restaurant chains. Muy! Brands is the franchisee who owns and operates the restaurants in question. - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 13:13 2
        
        THANK YOU both. I was so confused. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:14 1
        
        You're not the only one. Many people are conflating the two. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 3, 13:15
        
        It's the name of the company he runs that owns hundreds of fast food franchises. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 13:13

  - (also, dude owns hundreds of locations) -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:57 3
    - in texas. look, here's the thing. I can hate you because of one of your renters is a trump supporter, but I don't because you need to make money, - amanda Jun 3, 12:59 2
      - Not just in Texas. NY, PA, NM and other states -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 13:12 1
        
        so I won't go to his restaurants. I will still go to taco bell. as often as possible. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 13:29
- not at all. in fact, you can probably remove the "gently" part and still be ok. -- nm - Marty Byrde Jun 3, 12:53
Heh -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 3, 12:51
Vic Fangio Apology -- (link) - budice Jun 3, 12:50 1

(wiggie's ego searches are going to be really messed up for a while) -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 12:46
the university would not reimburse for internet, but employees would save on commuting costs, parking, etc (the average parking pass on campus - amanda Jun 3, 12:44 4
- I realize it's a lot cheaper to just have people wfh and I understand why it actually makes much more sense. - Diva Jun 3, 12:49 3
  - oh I agree completely. it's interesting how much real estate we could reclaim and turn into classroom space if 30% of our workforce stayed home. - amanda Jun 3, 12:51 2
    - But aren't students going to be doing e-learning? -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:53 1
      - why would we bring students to campus for elearning? classes will be in person with an option for the immunocompromised to learn from home or dorm. - amanda Jun 3, 13:02
Indiana just lost the Internet. Comcast Outage -- (link) - budice Jun 3, 12:43 4
- Ditto Illinois -- nm - TWuG Jun 3, 13:38 1
  - to be fair, most folks on the coasts think the two are the same thing just different pronounciations -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 13:44
- If we're kicking states off the Internet, I vote for Florida. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 12:45
- HA ha, Comcast sucks! -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:43
