  1. whats the ghillie suit for?

    gonna stick out like a sore thumb trying to assasinate biden dressed up as a bush in a city

    and wildlife generally doesnt give a fuck if they can see you long as you dont come close

    i hope he left a note explaining that one……..

     

  2. I find it just oddly coincidental on the timing that both Thumbs Down Sinema and Joe fucking Munchkin are both “leaving” the Dems to try and stop any kind of progressive legislation (and I’m guessing tax increases on the rich) from passing in the senate or trying to disrupt the Dems very slim majority.

    It seems to me the GOPers and their billionaire puppet masters are so desperate to cling to power that they are pulling out all the stops including their “deep cover” operatives wearing Democratic signs.

  3. This article on David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, is wild.

    The heart of the complaints are that he’s a complete jerk, but there’s an interesting substory too.

    He was a major early advocate of ending work from home, but he is also constantly using corporate jets to work from home at his places in the tropics, or else jetting off to be an amateur DJ.

    Employees have to work 16 hour days in the office. He gets to work when and where he wants. And that’s true all over for tons of top execs too.

    • He’s not different than than the 2nd last CFO of Nortel. That shithead picked a location near his estate in a posh part of Etobicoke because he was sick and tired of commuting (in a limo) rather some place closer to where 2/3 of the remaining work force lived.

      He kept justifying the location at the intersection of 3 of the busiest highways in the GTA (also shockingly the worst traffic spot in the entire GTA.)

      He mocked all my criticisms of the location and especially my prediction that no one will go to that place at a town hall.

      As I mentioned before, pompous motherfucker was super pissed when he visited the site (a mere few blocks from his fucking estate) a few months later only discover that hardly anyone was there. I hope he heard my evil laughter (but probably not.)

    • Just thinking about it… I think that a lot of execubots feel that working from home is THEIR privilege and ONLY THEIRS that they earned it by being the CEO or VP of Staplers or some other bullshit title.

      The little people don’t deserve it which is why they can’t/won’t see the hypocrisy.

      • Yep. The (now retired) CEO at my last company was dead-set against work from home, except he did that from his luxury condominium on New Smyrna Beach. The peons must report to the office where they can be supervised to ensure they’re not fucking off. Upper management is far too noble to watch Netflix on the company dime. Except this asshole ran the company as his private travel agency and flew himself all over the world for “business” (taking his wife, also at company expense).
