[Steve]

What a way to show his support for the Vets. Spend Veterans Day on holiday in France.

But.... but..... but...... there's a PARADE!!!!

Eta: I very much doubt that France wants him there.

All I can say is: HA HA HA!

From: https://www.aol.com/article/news/20...rding-of-confidentiality-agreements/23503965/
Judge says Trump campaign screwed up on wording of confidentiality agreements

The story:
- A woman works on the Trump campaign
- Woman signs non-disclosure agreement
- Woman becomes victim of theft, sexual harassment and slander from coworkers on the campaign
- Woman launches lawsuit
- Trump legal team goes to court to try to force things to be resolved through arbitration (which can be done quietly, behind closed doors).
- Judge looks at non-disclosure agreement, finds it badly written, and decides that arbitration is not required and the case can be decided on in open court

Why its relevant:

- Anything that harms Trump (including a potentially messy legal case that he was only tangentaly involved in) is a good thing, and the possibility that his campaign will have to fork out millions makes me smile
- If the team used the same template for all their non-disclosure agreements, it would open up the possibility for other people to talk freely (including Omarosa)

Although one thing does bother me... just how much sympathy should we have for this woman? I am not condoning sexual harassment or slander, but she was working on the Trump campaign. She was trying to get Trump elected, the man who liked to 'grab em by the pussy', slandered people regularly, openly called for laws to be broken, and encouraged violence. Shouldn't she have expected that type of treatment?

Depends, was she white and hot or a housekeeper?

 

[Elagabalus]

But doesn't she deserve it (at least to some degree)...?

No. (This is weird, dude) She didn't sign up to be sexually harassed even if she was working for Trump.

As much as I despise the man, I must agree on the point. Quarterly reporting is a mess at company level. From my experience at GE, I found it it severely limits long term strategies and creates unnecessary overheads due to the time taken generating those reports.

If reporting is too time consuming, expensive, or restrictive, then you're reporting the wrong things, or in the wrong way, or to the wrong people. Or all three.

 

[Elagabalus]

Yes, I'm a cynical bastard, but I have to ask... does he know which war?

I was thinking the same thing.

In the same way that Trump supporters living in coal country suffering from Black Lung disease didn't sign up to have their health care taken away. But that was the end result of voting republican.

In the same way that Trump supporters living near the Mexican border didn't sign up to have their land taken away to build the wall. But that's what's happening.

Was it the one where the germans bombed pearl harbor?

 

[Mike!]

Was it the one where the germans bombed pearl harbor?

Likely. There was a movie about it.

 

[dudalb]

And I am sure we will see from interesting tweets when:
A. Bob Woodward's book on the Trump administration "Fear" comes out

I also understand that Michael Moore has a movie called "Fahrenent 11/9" on Donald Trump. I don't have a high opinion of Moore, and think the title is just a bit too cute (Trump was elected on Nov 8) but no doubt it will get a reaction from Donnie.

The fun will begin when he asks Macron where all the surviving veterans are.

Yes I am sure there are downsides to quarterly reporting or reporting period. The requirement for them has nothing to do with cost or efficiency , but to protect the public. My ears perk up when it is suggested that we trade away transparency.

Cadet Bone Spurs will probably take credit for winning the war all by himself. WINNING!!

I'm sure they'd rather have Melania stand in for him.

All I can do is point to what Parker Molloy wrote about it.

 

[Stacyhs]

...because she speaks French. Oh, wait...

He'll have Freedom Fries with his McDonald's hamburger on the Champs Elysees. (which, in his heart, he believes was named for him).

 

[dudalb]

And it is interesting that by leaving for the trip he will not have to deal with the aftermath of what increasingly looks like a disaterous to catastrphic election for the GOP.....

Whatchu talkin' about?
All his tweets are screaming "red wave, red wave, red wave" and I know he's not talking about the USSR Russia.

 

[acbytesla]

They'd rather Qaddafi stand in for him.

 

[Stacyhs]

I hope he does go to France. It will be nice to have him out of the country.

Pretty sure it was those Communists from Japan, according to Fox News.
