I happened to watch a thirty minute clip about them just yesterday by some other dude on YouTube, and those parents are monsters.

They've raised a family of psychopaths that targeted that Cody kid the worst. As it is he's gonna be seriously hosed up. If you told me that in 5 years the rest of the kids were rapists, murderers and enjoy some good old animal torture I wouldn't be shocked at all.

They were making 1100 dollars a DAY from their sadistic videos until YouTube pulled the plug.

I am getting old, old, old because in the last few years (but actually prob ever since Nick Berg) I have increasingly been "nah, I'm not watching/looking that up :mad:"

I thought about posting this earlier for the fun poo poo in the background (sunsetting VISA laws, EVENTUALLY making Mexico pay for the wall, etc) and decided against it, then I just realized that Bannondorf didn't hide his CAC. It looks like it's a weird CAC though, because it doesn't have that scannable ID strip on the front.

I'm completely overt in what I do. I just can't give details of the exact work. I find it cuts through all the cutesy evasive BS. Besides, a whole bunch of foreign services know what I do because of past exchanges. If they know, pretty much everybody in the business does too.

Good God my man. The idea is to not so subtly hint that you're doing Important Classified Work. "Oh, I'm an analyst specializing in nuclear counterproliferation" or "I research WMD Deterrence for the DoE." You don't just outright state it, where's the fun in that!?

Nope. 3 years in Korea (no rent or utilities plus bonus pay and nearly unlimited overtime) does wonders for savings and investment portfolios. I knew senior DoD guys who were over there for 30 plus years and they were loaded. Plus they all have Korean wives to manage their finances for maximum richness-enhancement.

At this point I think Donnie is so far out of his element that the likelihood of him pulling off a Reichstag Fire is pretty remote. While he is an endless pit of greed with a narcissist's demand for adulation I don't think he has the capability or political backing to pull it off.

To be clear we're still going to be cleaning up the damage from this administration for decades. Shits going to be broken that will be felt for a long goddamn time because none of this is normal and a healthy society would not have gotten here. I just don't worry about Donnie pulling off a coup and cancelling elections or something because he's just so loving stupid and short sighted.

I do have concerns for whoever follows him. The Pandora's Box is open now, blatant bigotry and openly rallying people around hurting the "other" without even an attempt at a fig leaf cover story are no longer disqualifying for the highest office in the land. Someone is going to take the Trumpian playbook and run with it.

Kooler than Jesus
Here is one I cannot understand the how or why it would ever pass.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/02/news/economy/overtime-pay-bill-passes-house/index.html

quote:

Do you get paid for overtime work? The House of Representatives just passed a bill you may want to know about.

The measure, backed by Republicans, would let employers give workers time off instead of time-and-a-half pay the next time they put in extra hours. The vote tally was largely along party lines, with no Democrats voting in favor of the bill. Six Republicans also voted against it.

G.O.P. leadership has touted the legislation, called the Working Families Flexibility Act, as an attempt to codify flexibility for employees.

"I don't think there's anything more powerful than giving them more control over their time so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and their families," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington said Tuesday morning in a press conference held by Republican leaders in the House.

The Trump administration also came out in support of the measure on Tuesday. The White House said in a news release that the president's advisers would recommend Trump sign the bill into law if it was presented to him in its current form.

gently caress you, no overtime pay. Instead you get to have 'time off' when the employer decides its ok.


What?

Seriously.

WHAT?!

Can you imagine how that would work for things like police or nurses? My wife puts in OT every week because they always need more nurses and gets called in on days off all the drat time.
