Cheaper cars, more jobs in the funeral industry! Win win! I bet you’re tired of so much winning!
Hmmm, what sectors will rake in profits from the Trump years? Funeral Homes; Bullet-Proof Vests in kid sizes, and for grandma too; Home Surgical Suites if you can’t get insurance… I tells ya, we could make out like bandits!
My grandparents did quite well as funeral directors, if I had to I could resume the family trade…
Any truth to the rumor that Trump is ordering the railroads to bring back steam locomotives that burn lots of that sweet, sweet clean coal?
That would be quite an undertaking.
Famers are going to have plenty of fallow land.
You could make a killing
You guys have pretty much killed this topic. It’ll probably get buried on page 2 or 3.
That’s a rather grave assessment on the matter.
I was in a UPS store the other day, when an old dude gave the young dude behind the counter some things to pack and label for shipping.
The old dude said “Do you ever dream about your job?” Which I considered an ass move.
So I said “I dream about my job ALL THE TIME! I’m a MORTICIAN!”
Washington post tonight reporting that the whistleblower reporter that the questionable activity was Trump making a concerning promise to a world leader. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trumps-communications-with-foreign-leader-are-part-of-whistleblower-complaint-that-spurred-standoff-between-spy-chief-and-congress-former-officials-say/2019/09/18/df651aa2-da60-11e9-bfb1-849887369476_story.html
Pork slaughterhouses are now responsible for inspecting themselves.
This is troubling:
So to sum up: The president has the legal authority to say basically anything he wants to foreign leaders without the intelligence community IG’s office getting involved. Unless it’s some seriously fucked-up shit, then the IG’s office will get involved. Oh and, by the way, the IG’s office is involved.
Guess who he had a call with a few days prior? I’d give you ten guesses, but I’m sure you’d get it with the first.
He had a call with Putin on July 31 when they supposedly talked about Siberian wildfires.
The Post article mentions a phone call. Trump and Putin had a phone call on July 31, which seems to line up chronologically. Several reporters and analysts I follow on Twitter are speculating that the troubling promise was made during this call.
ETA: too slow!
The Russian summary of the July call indicated that Putin saw the offer of help as a sign that full bilateral relations could be restored at some point. How you get from firefighting assistance to fully normalized relations is a bit murky. Unless, say, Trump offered that in exchange for help in his reelection or something. Hypothetically.
Recall that when Trump called Putin to offer help fighting Siberian wildfires, he wasn’t doing jack to help California fight its fires.
FWIW, George Conway retweeted, without comment, one of the analysts who speculated that the Putin call was when the troubling promise was allegedly made
The free market will take care of it. Slaughterhouses that kill off all their customers with trichinosis will surely go out of business.
Also on September 9, CNN broke the story of the spy being hastily exfiltrated from Russia. It could be that in the call with Putin, Trump blabbed something that could have led to the Russians identifying the source. Or Trump promised to divulge intelligence that would have revealed the source. At around this time, Trump also froze some military aid to Ukraine. The aid was unfrozen when Schiff started demanding a copy of the whistleblower’s report.
What the everloving fuck? That’s exactly how the dogmeat “industry” operates in South Korea and other countries. Take a wild guess and how well they self-police.
