> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > “How _on earth_ did we end up hiring so many assholes?” It is possible that they did not hire so many assholes, _per se_, but they were generated by management. It is sort of like the old nature v nurture debate. You can hire assholes and coerce them into decorous behavior, but that is harder than hiring regular people and directing them into assholery. It appears that assholery is contagious, and do not take that assholier than thou attitude with me, dammit. ---

Not lying, but a severe attack of _non compos mentis_ on the part of whoever posted/edited the Fox story on Oregon legislators voting to end the ban on self-serve gasoline. The main news page headline reads\*: “You won’t be allowed to pump your own gas after state votes to ban self-serve” Actual story: [Oregon lawmakers vote to end ban on self-serve gas | Fox Business](https://www.foxbusiness.com/energy/oregon-lawmakers-vote-end-ban-self-serve-gas#&_intcmp=fnhpriver_5) \*probably will be changed as soon as someone at Fox has a second cup of coffee. ---

Sure, they _claim_ it was a morning brain fart, but somehow all their mistakes serve to induce fear and anger in their viewers. It’s not accidental. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > Abby gets hers: > Grossberg said she will “not comment further” on the claims and allegations made against Fox News. Well, no shit. She got $12 million. I’d just keep quiet, stay out of the public eye, and enjoy the new influx of cash if it was me. Not saying it wasn’t warranted though. Small settlements are nothing to an organization like Fox News. I hope this stings. ---

I bet Biden hasn’t even grabbed anyone by the pussy either! What a beta cuck! BTW, I like the “Tired & Confused” graphic they put up for Biden.

Apparently, this guy didn’t notice that the orange one looked like a total asshole when he pushed his way to the front. I mean seriously, Biden has manners how dare he the old dim wit. At the same time, while Biden didn’t “dominate” pictures, he did dominate foreign policy. I wonder which one actually counts for something? That is which one counts for normal people anyway.
