Weave

How many media figures do you know that get to accumulate stupid comments before removal? The only ones I can think of are the ones who's stock and trade are controversy. Any mainstrean media outlet personality is expected to not put their foot in their mouth, and when they do the reaction is pretty consistent across media outlets. They don't get trusted to not do it again.

Stating that you want to have sex with a co-worker (or whatever the exact detail was) isn't garden variety stupid stuff though. That is termination material every time. It's self evident, really. And has nothing to do with "the world we live in today". It violates every workplace norm, and every broadcast norm outside of shock jock broadcasting.

I got that. Physics covered it pretty well so I didn’t see the need to expand upon it.

I'm comfortable with the firing regardless of whether he knew these people well or not. If he is predisposed to say THAT on the air, I wouldn't want him on the air for any program I am responsible for. He's demonstrated that he is a liability in front of a microphone now.

Ban was a mistype. I meant to say require. You're doing the implying. I am referring to the actual words. It was factual. The Gov is preventing the local gov'ts from requiring masks. It is what it is. A law is not worth the paper it is written on without a penalty for non-compliance.

Bourbon in my glass. Big pour. I need it.

He's no Gerbe, for sure.

Right. In other words, the Governor denied the ability of counties and cities to ban masks, exactly what was reported. So, not fake news.

If ever there was a time for all those "2nd Amendment to defend against government tyranny" types to step up, this is it. But because these are Libtards and Democraps getting arrested they will conveniently stay away.

Well, you certainly look gullible enough....

Anyone want to jump on the reports coming out of Portland of Fed officials with no insignia or markings grabbing protestors and stuffing them into vans?

?

OK, I like this one. You can stay.

So there is no issue with mentioning that the Governor of Georgia eliminated the ability of Georgia counties and cities to require mask wearing?

There were three conspiracy types in my office. One was threatened with losing his severance pay if he didn’t start wearing a mask. The other two wear them and complain about it at every opportunity.

I assume we’ll be hearing about another Inspector General losing their job. Draining th swamp my ass. https://apple.news/AUr_YdpFdRPSjxQiNZlxMNQ A top Trump administration health official violated federal contracting rules by steering millions of taxpayer dollars in contracts that ultimately benefited GOP-aligned communications consultants, according to an inspector general report released Thursday. Meanwhile, Caputo took aim at his own department’s watchdog. “The President, Vice-President and the Secretary have enormous confidence in Administrator Verma and the great work she has done, and will continue to do, for the American people,” he said. “But confidence in the Inspector General? Not so much.”

I guess commentary about state COVID rules is too risque for the COVID thread. WTF?

I guess commentary about COVID rules is too risque for the main forum COVID thread. LOLWTF

The glass can only be so half empty, right?

I've been thinking about this more than I should. Part of my routine is a quiet place to chat with the locals on Friday night, and there is usually a brewery involved on most weekends for maybe just an hour or two. It's my social outlet. Right now I'm good with what we have. I can sit at a patio table and have a beer. Chat with a server. Winter is going to really be dreary if I can't feel safe for a couple of hours on a barstool.

I didn't even notice. Apparently the way to get them to move on is to expect them to play their own game.

For a 2C was the qualifier I used. The only 2C I’m trading Dahlin for is Draisaitl or Matthews.

Mmmmm...... curry

I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t see Joki as untouchable. I don’t WANT to move him, but you have to give value to get value, and I don’t see Joki as one of those guys whose value to the team makes him off the move for a legit 2C list. For that matter, the only D I put on the do not trade list for a 2C is Dahlin.

This times a really large number
