President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

My my hey hey
Trumpism is here to stay
It is better now but his fans won't fade away
My my hey hey

Out of the blue and into the red
They give you bleach and don't care about the dead
Once democracy's gone
It can never come back
When you're out the blue and into the red

Jack's gone, but he's not forgotten
This is the story of Tommy Cotton
It's better to burn than it is to trust
Jack's gone but he's not forgotten

Hey hey my my
Election myths will never die
They deny the bad and turn a blind eye
Hey hey my my

 

Who wants to use a water cooler after Covid? LOL

 

And you already know the unspoken second part of that statement: “It’s what I’d do.”

 

My wife's employer found it to be a huge boon and has told a lot of departments they can WFH permanently. Trackable productivity was up and they discovered via VPN log-ins that employees spent more time working. They'd log-on an average of 22 minutes earlier each day and log-off an average of 97 minutes later each night.

 

Of course he did. Of course he did.

I’d link to the ESPN version but the Post version is written better with more focus.

Donald Trump allegedly attempted to stop a congressional probe of the Spygate case involving the New England Patriots by offering a bribe to then-Sen. Arlen Specter, the late senator’s son claimed Wednesday.

An ESPN report detailed how Trump, nearly a decade before he became president, allegedly acted on behalf of Patriots owner Robert Kraft when he met with Specter in 2008 to offer him “a lot of money in Palm Beach” if the then-Republican senator from Pennsylvania dropped his investigation into the team. Shanin Specter, the senator’s son, said to ESPN that Trump intervened in the probe, while Charles Robbins, the senator’s longtime communications aide, told The Washington Post that he surmised Trump to be the person who offered Arlen Specter the bribe.

In a Wednesday email to The Post, Shanin Specter confirmed that his father, who died in 2012, explicitly indicated to him that Trump had attempted to bribe the senator, then the ranking Republican of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in exchange for dropping the investigation of the Patriots illegally filming an opponent’s hand signals.

“He told me it was Trump,” Specter, a personal injury and medical malpractice attorney in Philadelphia, said to The Post.​

If your immediate assumption is your employees are goofing off if you can’t see them you either hired or retained slackers and fuck offs - and that’s on you and your shit character judgement - or you’re an insecure, paranoid maniac - and that’s on you too. Either way, it’s on you; not them. I don’t care which pill you take, but you qualify for one of them.

 

Some of us work through our lunches now because we don’t have to go out for lunch when we work from home. I’m sure that Forbes story is coming any day now.
