Competence isn't an endeavor. Far be it from me to defend Bob's flights of fancy, but all he's saying is this: if I own this establishment, then its purpose is to benefit me.

From Bob :

"This is [Loyalty] the only criterion. If I own X, and I hire someone to manage X, I want managing X in my interests to be the sole endeavor."

Note only criterion. I'd want someone who wouldn't loyally mismanage my affairs. I expect Bob would as well, but he didn't say that.

There are, of course, reasons to be concerned with that view, but your particular response is off-base.

It's a badly worded comment : do you really think I'll let the opportunity go? This is BobTheCoward, remember. He'd be all over it like a cheap suit.

I understood the hype to be that this was going to be a MAJOR MAJOR speech.

I note again that he pronounced "provocation" as "provoke-ation", at least the first time. The second time he got it right.

I think he said Duarte instead of Duterte, also.

Who?

BTW, look at this headline from the Washington Post: "Senate Republicans look to Trump to restore order amid Alabama upheaval"

If you need TRUMP??? to restore order, you've got bigger problems than Alabama.

What do they want him to do ?

Do they want him to say that it's perfectly fine for an alleged child molester to run for Senate ? Do they want him to support Moore 100% in the election to ensure he gets elected ?

Anything else such as postponing the election and re-running the primary or forcing Moore to withdraw will only increase the upheaval.

In any case, President Trump is the symptom of the kind of upheaval that's rife in Alabama.
 
Did anyone pick up on his other tweets yesterday?

Those 3 basketball players wont thank me because... (??)
NY Times is so dumb at foreign policy

Awesome photo in that article. Don't you think he looks tired?

The original scene was filmed not far from here a few years ago - to the very limited extent that time and space mean much in Cardiff.

Oh, and :thumbsup:.

ETA : I've just remembered an occasion when I turned into The Hayes in Cardiff to find it all decked out for Xmas, and thought "Jeez, it really does come earlier every year - hang on, it's frickin' September!". They were shooting the Xmas Special, of course.

Whenever I quote Trump's twitter, I use this source:

Continuing to erase anything with President Obama's name on it. In 2014, the Obama administration placed restrictions on the import of elephant trophies from Zambia and Zimbabwe to protect endangered species and discourage poaching.

Guess what?

US authorities will remove restrictions on importing African elephant trophies from Zimbabwe and Zambia.
That means Americans will soon be able to hunt the endangered big game, an activity that garnered worldwide attention when a Minnesota dentist took Cecil, perhaps the world's most famous lion, near a wildlife park in Zimbabwe.

I wonder if there's any personal interest?

President Donald Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric are themselves big game hunters. Photos posted in 2012 by the website Gothamist show Donald Jr. holding an elephant tail. The website says the photos were from a 2011 hunt in Zimbabwe.
When Donald Jr. addressed the photos at the time, he did not deny their authenticity or where they were taken. "I can assure you it was not wasteful," he posted on Twitter, adding, "The villagers were so happy for the meat which they don't often get to eat."

Well, if the meat was put to use, that's just fine then. Passenger pigeons and dodos were probably delicious too.
 
Good morning. Perhaps Trump and family can go hunting with Dick Cheney.
