REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:

When I worked at The Podesta Group, we had someone get put on restricted email access because they were a Principal (who had access to contact lists full of Congressman, Senators, CEOs, Clients, and Vendors) and they sent emails to "All Contacts" asking people to find their files or what time the birthday party was - multiple times.

This person was a multi-millionaire and had to be forcibly put on email training wheels. They were't even accidentally hitting "Reply All" either, they kept going into their address book and clicking "All Contacts" over and over.

I mean, we already knew John Podesta was bad at EMAILS

Opioid crisis conference coming up, right?

I wonder if Trump will go off the rails and say something angry about McConnell's minor snipe yesterday when he was whining about how "irritating" it was that people think Congress gets nothing done.

John Podesta hasn't been involved there for over a decade. It's his brother Tony and his Ex-Wife.

They also went through a very messy divorce and had admin assistants in the office deliver legal documents to each other.

Wow the fact that they weren't saying anything was telling but you could pretend they were not ignoring it intentionally. Straight up calling it a potential false flag is pretty much all in.

good article on the debt limit fight:

https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/894971218390114304

basically, conservatives are threatening to topple paul ryan if he passes a clean debt ceiling increase

ignore the threat that "tax reform" won't happen if he passes one: tax reform (meaning you restructure the tax code to limit deductions and decrease rates in a budget-neutralish way) is already dead, and "tax cuts" are what will happen instead and conservatives will still vote for those

The Opioid Crisis announcement is just going to be a rant about how Hillary Clinton had very bad plans for the crisis, and so did Obama, and the fake news won't even cover how bad those plans are, and there is no chaos in the White House.

I'd be just fine with firing a homosexual man who went around grabbing people's dicks, because he's being fired for the dick-grabbing, not the being gay.

I'm just fine with firing a conservative for emailing the entire company with his lovely regressive opinion, creating a hostile work environment, making the company less attractive for potential employees, and so on, because he's being fired for the hurting of the company, not the being conservative.

You can and be fired for what you do, you should not be fired for who you are.

I mean, yes? That was the point, the notion of the US leaving the region is absurd. But in an absurd scenario, there would be absurd reactions. It was a dumb idea that someone else put forward, I don't think we're gonna do that lol.

I don't think that the US is going to pull out. But I do think that China has been trying to get them to and that has been what's motivating the lack of actions against NK, unless they truly don't have as much influence as they claim they don't.

Yeah the smart play would be to draw the discussion away from his accomplishments or lack thereof, but his ego is so fragile that he must retaliate to what I assume he saw on CNN so here we are.

mcconnell is busy facing those questions nonstop and scowling over how he stole a supreme court seat and why isn't that an accomplishment because of the august recess, and that's probably what's setting trump off
