The Eagles cancellation was worse than I thought.

As for book promotion, it's so drat obvious that he doesn't even read any advance copies, so it's not exactly effective. Just his usual "they're nice to me therefore I like them" random endorsements he decides on from fox news TV hits.

He's either running for something or he's got turbocancer and needs to do his crazy billionaire immortality gimmick. Hopefully it's the turbocancer and he tries something as successful as Steve Jobs.

You want immortality, become a billionaire and freeze yourself at 25 before cell degradation kicks in. If you're lucky only half your neurons will die and you can be an immortal vegetable.

There wasn't? I could have sworn there were a couple that Chris Long stood with in solidarity or something.

Still though, as a :patssay: fan, I'm okay with that loss as I'm happy to watch the Eagles force Trump to self dunk over this poo poo. Also lol at the owners for thinking their anthem policy would ever placate him.

Nah, he has more power as an unelected official pulling the strings of government. He's probably got health problems and wants to contribute to Vietnam documentaries like his brother.

e: Apparently he's quitting AFP, too. Interesting.

They said they’d hire immigrants and refugees. This pissed CHUDS off.

E: they also like to open shops near independent coffee shops and operate at a loss until that place closes.

Iirc Starbucks spends more on employee health plans (could be all employee benefits e.g. retirement and whatnot, going off memory of an orientation thing from 15ish years ago) than coffee beans, unless they somehow take a positively massive tax hit, they're a fine candidate for "large company that would benefit from medicare-for-all."

yeah, he's an idiot posting idiot things. Nothing he's ever done or said is newsworthy. He's as bad or worse than Bill Mitchell, adds absolutely nothing to the conversation, and isn't remotely impactful about anything. I already cannot scroll past those types fast enough when I'm browsing C-Spam. If we want a chud twitter thread where we post all those types all the time, I mean lets start the thread. I just don't think we should give them the time of day here unless they're actually relevant towards a current event.

They were pointless insults, but regardless of that our UN ambassador just had to veto a resolution because no one would vote for ours. We literally have the rest of the world against us. I would say that the begging and humiliation aspects were accurate reporting, and although harsh, were gender neutral. A male diplomat doing and saying the exact same things would have been seen in the same light.

But seriously, the rest of the world is against us. This is not good.
