Let's lambast a guy who tried his hardest to elevate a class of people who are typically poo poo on. “THE S.W.E.A.T. PLEDGE” (Skill & Work Ethic Aren’t Taboo) 1. I believe that I have won the greatest lottery of all time. I am alive. I walk the Earth. I live in America. Above all things, I am grateful. 2. I believe that I am entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing more. I also understand that “happiness” and the “pursuit of happiness” are not the same thing. 3. I believe there is no such thing as a “bad job.” I believe that all jobs are opportunities, and it’s up to me to make the best of them. 4. I do not “follow my passion.” I bring it with me. I believe that any job can be done with passion and enthusiasm. 5. I deplore debt, and do all I can to avoid it. I would rather live in a tent and eat beans than borrow money to pay for a lifestyle I can’t afford. 6. I believe that my safety is my responsibility. I understand that being in “compliance” does not necessarily mean I’m out of danger. 7. I believe the best way to distinguish myself at work is to show up early, stay late, and cheerfully volunteer for every crappy task there is. 8. I believe the most annoying sounds in the world are whining and complaining. I will never make them. If I am unhappy in my work, I will either find a new job, or find a way to be happy. 9. I believe that my education is my responsibility, and absolutely critical to my success. I am resolved to learn as much as I can from whatever source is available to me. I will never stop learning, and understand that library cards are free. 10. I believe that I am a product of my choices – not my circumstances. I will never blame anyone for my shortcomings or the challenges I face. And I will never accept the credit for something I didn’t do. 11. I understand the world is not fair, and I’m OK with that. I do not resent the success of others. 12. I believe that all people are created equal. I also believe that all people make choices. Some choose to be lazy. Some choose to sleep in. I choose to work my butt off. On my honor, I hereby affirm the above statements to be an accurate summation of my personal worldview. I promise to live by them.

One thing making it harder to tip is that wages haven't risen for anyone in like 30 years but restaurants keep getting more expensive. Last time I went to burger king a medium combo was like loving 8 dollars. Going to chili's used to be a $25 + tip situation for two people if you just get food, now it's more like 35-40. I just don't get where anyone gets off raising the prices of things when nobody's getting paid more anywhere. I sure as poo poo can't afford to eat out all the time and I don't know how the gently caress anyone can.

What role did Bannon even have in the Moore fiasco anyway? Wasn't Roy Moore already running? And didn't Bannon just jump in to glom onto the campaign when they were already looking like they were going to win in the primary? And why would anyone in the GOP, or anyone anywhere, really, pay any attention to what Steve Bannon thinks or has to say anymore at this point?

Zwabu posted:What role did Bannon even have in the Moore fiasco anyway? Bannon adopted Moore back in the primary, backing him against the guy McConnell endorsed. Moore was going to be the start of a groundswell of Trumpistas in the Congress, displacing the old guard in a populist wave. Or so the plan went.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_TRUMP_JUDICIAL_NOMINEES_ALOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two of President Donald Trump's nominees for federal judge are not moving forward amid criticism from a leading Republican senator. White House officials say the nomination of Brett Talley has been withdrawn. And a person familiar with the process says the administration hasn't submitted paperwork for the nomination of Jeff Mateer and does not intend to. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has said the two nominees were going nowhere. In speeches, Mateer has described transgender children as evidence of "Satan's plan." Talley has never argued a case in court and was rated "unanimously unqualified" by the American Bar Association. Grassley said in an interview with CNN on Tuesday that he told the White House to rethink both nominations. Mateer was tapped to be a federal judge in Texas, while Talley was picked for U.S. District Court in Alabama.

I legit feel bad for anyone just now finding out Rowe is a chode, because his TV persona is engaging and fun and it's hard to glean much, if anything, from his show in the vein of politics. Best case (unlikely) scenario he's just incredibly naive about how the world works, but most likely he came upon his beliefs the same way most libertarians do - cushy living and impaired self-reflection.

He figured that Moore was gonna win and hitched his horse to Moore so he could spit in McConnell's eye. Turns out Moore was all hat and no cattle, so Bannon's up poo poo creek without a paddle and ain't no one got time for the boy who cried wolf. Uh... it's a real... no that's it, I think that was my last one. Honestly Bannon is probably gonna keep picking Republican primary winners who end up being general election losers, so I guess pay attention to him if you wanna see where the hardest of hard right is on a given election. edit:  found my last one

http://www.businessinsider.com/omarosa-escorted-out-of-white-house-by-secret-service-2017-12 After the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, on Tuesday informed Omarosa Manigault Newman of her firing, she attempted to enter the White House residence to speak with President Donald Trump, only to be escorted from the grounds. That's according to a Wednesday report from April Ryan, American Urban Radio Networks' White House correspondent. Ryan said Newman, a former Trump campaign adviser who has since January been the director of communications for the White House's Office of Public Liaison, protested her dismissal and brought up her efforts to recruit black voters to support Trump during the campaign and her relationships with historically black colleges and universities. "During that altercation with General Kelly, Omarosa said that she had brought the black vote to President Trump," Ryan said. "General Kelly said, 'No, that is not the case.'" Kelly also told Newman, one of the president's best-known black supporters, that Johnathan Holifield, the newly appointed head of the White House Initiative on HBCUs, didn't like her, Ryan said. Ryan said Newman, who competed on Trump's reality-TV show "The Apprentice" in the mid-2000s, then told Kelly she wanted to speak with the president about her firing. But Kelly responded that Trump had already been informed and signed off on it, Ryan reported. Ryan said her sources told her that Newman used vulgar language and cursed at Kelly, then walked over to the president's residence and "tried to get in." "General Kelly was called back," Ryan reported. "Secret Service stopped her, and she was escorted off campus." The Secret Service tweeted on Wednesday evening that it did not escort Newman off the White House premises, as Newman's assistant was also let go, Ryan said. Newman's role has recently come under scrutiny in the media, with reports suggesting her position is vague and undefined and a point of frustration for her colleagues. She has struggled to develop relationships between the Trump administration and black lawmakers and communities, and she has a history of sparking workplace drama. In June, the Congressional Black Caucus rejected an offer extended by Newman to meet with the president, saying it had "seen no evidence that your Administration acted on our calls for action" and had "witnessed steps that will affirmatively hurt Black communities." And Newman is reportedly disliked by many in the Trump administration, including Kelly and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser. In a Wednesday statement, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said that Newman resigned on Tuesday "to pursue other opportunities" and that her official last day would be January 20. This is not the first time Newman has been dismissed from a White House position. The Howard University graduate, who served under President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore when she was in her early 20s, was fired from her job in the Clinton administration's Commerce Department. Another former Clinton staffer, Cheryl Shavers, told People magazine in 2004 that Newman "was asked to leave as quickly as possible" because "she was so disruptive," adding, "One woman wanted to slug her."

Mark Burns, the South Carolina pastor who once asked God to give Donald Trump “the words to unite this party, this country, that we together can defeat the liberal Democratic Party,” recently defeated another potential Trump foe: a spider. Burns and other evangelical leaders were in the Oval Office on Monday to present President Trump an award in gratitude for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel. Then something unusual happened: “A spider almost ate him,” Burns said Tuesday. In Burns’s account, he was standing behind Trump, who was seated at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office, when he noticed a white spider the size of a half-dollar making its way up the president’s back. “I just thought I was dreaming,” recounted Burns in a telephone interview. “Is that really a spider running up the back of the president of the United States?” It was. Burns, for the record, hates spiders, but didn’t see any other choice but to step in. Before the spider got to the president’s neck, Burns whacked it — and Trump — with his bare hand. “It made such a loud noise, and I think people were bewildered and were like, ‘What did you just do?’” said Burns, who then quickly tried to explain himself: “Security, please don’t shoot me! He had a spider on his back.” Burns said the president was calm throughout the ordeal and only asked, “Well, did you kill the spider?” The pastor kept the dead spider as proof of his good intentions. Burns said he sent a picture to experts, and they had identified it as a “yellow sac” spider, a species found in the District (and in much of the United States), which is common indoors in winter months. Its bite does not appear to be fatal, but it is painful. According to a spider website maintained by Michigan State University, yellow sac spiders likely account for more bites of humans than any other kind of spider. The website says “the bite is usually very painful at the outset. … The burning sensation associated with the bite will last for up to an hour, with rash and blistering occurring during the next 1-10 hours.” After the spider was squashed, Burns said he joked with Trump that he deserved a medal. He recalled that just before the incident, Burns, who regularly appears on cable news defending the president, had reminded Trump he was still in his corner. “I just said to the president, I said, you know, ‘I still got your back.’ He said, ‘I know you got my back.’” The White House could not be reached for comment.

 “There’s a coalition coming together that’s going to challenge every Republican incumbent except for Ted Cruz,” he said. “We are declaring war on the Republican establishment that does not back the agenda Trump ran on.… Nobody is safe. We’re coming after all of them. And we’re going to win.” "They will take on incumbents in every state, and then they will take on the Democrats after that." https://twitter.com/ashleyfeinberg/status/866100749167718400
