I had the same question.
He remembered to bring the chart. Great memory. I don’t think Obama would’ve done that so well. His undergrad, I’m pretty sure, was not Ivy League like Trump’s. I don’t know if it was, but I don’t think so. I’ve heard from people it wasn’t.
Good that some Republicans are starting to rag on Trump. Not unlike those Nazis who tried to kill Hitler though. Good on them, but hey, they were still Nazis.
Bunch of righties freaked out and demanded Obama publish his college transcripts because those jackasses are still convinced that not only was Obama born in Kenya, he never graduated from university. And not a single one is questioning Trump’s academic credentials.
The idea that there are people out there who read Trump’s twitter feed and nod along and smile, just made me shudder a little bit.
But you know these people have to exist. How they manage to tie their shoelaces in the morning I’ll never understand.
What baffles me is that they don’t think “Wait, Trump’s complaining about what some Flake guy said about him. Huh… maybe I’ll look that up and read what he said.”
His memory is capable of holding enough information to read off the teleprompter, one word at a time. The trick is to make it go slow enough that he has time to read yet quick enough to keep him from going improptu.
Maybe for his calls they should use a bigger teleprompter, with glitter and playboy bunnies so it holds his attention better.
…so I just googled Whitefish: and I was a bit stunned at what I saw on the google search results. (Screenshot attached.)
What that shows is that the Whitefish website is an off-the-shelf wordpress template, bought for probably under $100.00. And a quick google search shows exactly that: (Another screenshot)
Here is the theme site:
And the purchase page:
And here is the Whitefish website:
At best that website would have taken an afternoon to put together. So little time and expertise were used to put the website together that they didn’t even change the site title and the tagline in the general options. No customizations. Whitefish make more four times as much in an hour than they invested in their website. And just to be clear on how lazy these people are: this is a very versatile wordpress theme: you can easily make it look like something else with just a click, here are some examples…
But they didn’t even try to customize the site. They just used the default skin.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise. But I’m surprised. I honestly can’t even fathom how borked the tender process must be right now for these guys to have somehow won a multi-million dollar windfall. There is every possibility that these guys will pull together and do an adequate job. But a the moment they are arguing with the San Juan’s mayor, Carmen Yulín Cruz, threatening to pull out of Puerto Rico. (They have since withdrawn and apologised.)
As I understand it, the company consists of only two people. Not a real deep pool to choose from for your tech needs, I suppose.
I had a similar reaction after seeing the webpage of a coworker I shall for simplicity’s sake call The Imbecile. Basic out of the box theme, outdated information, false information and things such as informing the world of his company’s credit rating (which happened to be his own personal rating, given the “company” type).
Several of my coworkers thought it was “oh, nice!” though. To someone who’s never so much as tried to change the background color in one of those, apparently anything looks cool. This applies to webpages but also to many other things: that aphorism about sufficiently advanced science might be rewritten as “sufficient amounts of ignorance make anything seem like magic”.
Did that co-worker get a lucrative gov’t contract?
And read #FLAKENEWS?
Puerto Rico’s hasn’t enough trouble that they’re going to end up with a Whitefish … a stinking worthless Coney Island whitefish. :eek:
From FARK two days ago, I learned this: Their corporate filing address is 503 Railway St, Suite B, Whitefish, MT, which is the same address as “Kintla Copy and Creative” of Whitefish. In other words, their corporate headquarters is a Kinko’s knock-off in Whitefish.
Remember, only the best people!
I agree. It was a pretty speech, sounded good, etc etc blah blah blah.
But then if you’ve already decided to cash in and retire, when you know any blowback won’t affect you, then it’s all too easy to feign courage.
It’s like telling your boss to drop dead, after HR has already processed and finalized your retirement papers.
It isn’t. It won’t be. “Some people” can’t be moved, persuaded, or reasoned with. It’s their way or no way, to hell with reality/facts/repercussions.
You got that right.
It really only makes sense, in a homeopathic way. If your problem is on an island surrounded by big water, then your solution is in a kinkos surrounded by land.
Looking at Google maps street view. I see nothing that resembles a utility company. The Kintla Copy is ‘Suite A’ per the address. There is also a pizza place what looks like a clothing company and perhaps a bar.
I do see a Fed-X sign in one window. I suppose the Kintla Copy may also serve as a Fed-X store. I know that UPS stores have private mailboxes you can rent. So this Whitefish Power may just have a PMB (Private Mail Box) there.
In there defense, small towns out west can be strange in that some don’t get any mail delivery. Whitefish does have a regular Post Office though.
Makes you wonder where the ‘office’ is.
That’s fine defense for it being a small company in a small town. The question is why did this small company in a small town get such a large contract, when it is quite obvious they do not have the resources to service it.
