meh. nitpikin. He had vest and hat on. More than I see on most "important" site visitors. His shoes are pretty common for office folk for around here. I can pretty much guarantee no actual work was in progress while he was there anyway.

No work ever gets done while the government is around because no work can get done while following their rules.

Pretty much. Kinda like with MSHA or OSHA is on site for an inspection. "Gee, whadya know, I got me some real important office stuff to do today."

Yep, OSHA walks in, everyone goes and sits in the break room because it's cheaper than having them working and be breaking some rule.

According to his allies, who have chosen to remain anonymous for the report, Buttigieg is "taking an unfair pounding over the disaster."

Joy Behar indicated that East Palestine, Ohio residents should blame nobody but themselves for the toxic train derailment because the area mostly voted for Trump. “That’s who you voted for in that district. Donald Trump, who reduces all safety.”
The crowd gasped at Bahr’s finger-pointing but didn’t seem to have much of a reaction when co-host Sunny Hostin quipped, “I think this is Donald Trump’s fault” just before the show panned to a commercial break.

It's trump fault.

I had to google this shit just to be sure it was real.

Aren't you some finance cube creature tapping away on excel sheets all day?

Aren't you some finance cube creature tapping away on excel sheets all day?

I do customer facing stuff. Basically call center rep with a lot more numbers before the decimal.

I was basically Jimmy Numbers but without the "the customer is wrong and I'm right" bad attitude before I got into office work though. I'm familiar with government snooping.

I had decided it was time for Trump to move on. Not anymore, I am ready for some Trump smackdown, the hell with censored news and accepting the corruption in Washington. If shit talking and train wrecks makes you thirsty grab yourself a Trump water.

Trump being Trump is the best, I do not like watered down, Rino whispering polling data in his ear Trump, Him with a crowd in a McDonalds telling them nobody knows the menu like him while having everyone smiling is the best Trump. Glad he went, it forcing the Biden administration out of the woodwork to actually acknowledge that there's a problem and they need to deal with it. The libs have the sads because Mayor Pute is one of their top options to replace Biden in 24 and this is making him look the small self absorbed idiot that he is.

It's great, I love how he acts as the president rigged election be damned.

What I have not liked recently is a trending twards a more authoritarian ideas he's been putting out.

To be fair Pete Buttplug would have been there sooner if the train that derailed was carrying a load of dildos.

Execute drug dealers, fed involvement in juvenile justice stuff the other day. A good part of the base is turned off by that and pro vax stuff like 486 said. I can't put lockdown blame on him, because he did leave that up to the states. I was at a rally not long ago, massive crowd and energy, when that stuff was brought up it collapsed.

Pretty sure that isn't an issue anymore. Everyone was on board early on. Trump's biggest mistake is letting "experts" make recommendations. Still think he is the best man to fix past mistakes including some he made himself. Any new administration is going to have to vet their own team and will have similar results as first term Trump.

Was good to see alot of it left up to the states. Even though many went full totalitarian.

I do remember him saying a few months in basically it's not so bad and we need to get back to life, and all the "experts" shit all over it.

Could be but I don't remember him being pro lockdown or mandate. He was and is pro vax as far as I know.

Trump says nationwide lockdown would 'ultimately inflict more harm than it would prevent'

While Trump said he wouldn't shut down the U.S., he urged Americans to stay "vigilant" against the coronavirus as U.S. officials begin to see new "flare-ups."

One of them deals where it happened under his time as "figurehead in chief" so clearly it was his idea and doing alone, certainly not the reptilian overlords.
