What’s your Poison?

I have to say, I was surprised that I forgot to remove my Twitter feed from my WP blog. I only thought of it now, having just gotten rid of Facebook for the last time.

I will likely have to start one of those WP blogs where nobody knows it is me (I have had many) if I ever want to speak my mind. Many people on Twitter and Facebook and other social media are sent into a seething hate spiral when you not only question their opinion but also when you ask a question about their opinion.

Anyway, let us see how this goes?

Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

Wall Street Rule for the #MeToo Era: Avoid Women at All Cost

I am uncertain as to why this surprises anyone?

 

Across Wall Street, men are adopting controversial strategies for the #MeToo era and, in the process, making life even harder for women. Call it the Pence Effect, after U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who has said he avoids dining alone with any woman other than his wife. Interviews with more than

I’m sorry, WTF did you just say?

“Had I not made that speech, we would not have won,” Trump told ’60 Minutes’ host Lesley Stahl in a sweeping interview that aired Sunday. “I was just saying she didn’t seem to know anything.”

Fast-strengthening hurricane closes in on Florida Panhandle

Fast-strengthening hurricane closes in on Florida Panhandle

So, this must be why people need to be rescued out of their destroyed homes – they can’t afford to be safe.

 

Aja Kemp, 36, planned to ride out the storm in her mobile home in Crawfordville. She worked all night stocking shelves at a big-box store that was closing later Tuesday, then got to work securing her yard.Kemp said the bill totaled over $800 when she and her family fled Hurricane Irma’s uncertain path last year.”I just can’t bring myself to spend that much money,” she said. “We’ve got supplies to last us a week. Plenty of water. I made sure we’ve got clean clothes. We got everything tied down.”

The bar fights back at Kavanaugh

The bar fights back at Kavanaugh

So, the Justice System in the United States of America is based on how much you kiss someone’s ass who is about to get into power?  Isn’t the ideal in a judge to be objective?  How does this get into the press without condemnation throughout their country, specifically, and the world, in general.

I am no moron; I know that this is the norm … the unspoken norm.  To blatantly point out that in order to fold justice to your liking you need to smile, wink and nod while you gladhand the “judge” you are seeing appointed?

And Yale touts Clarence Thomas?  So, 50% of Yale Law Grads are predators?  #YaleToo?

Canada is lucky I am not in politics … well, Canadian politicians are.  Our neighbour to the south, to be honest, are very lucky.

The rallying around Kavanaugh at the time of his nomination isn’t surprising: Lawyers who may one day argue a case in front of the Supreme Court wouldn’t want to miss the chance to curry favor with one of the nine justices deciding their fate. (Lisa Blatt, the corporate lawyer and “liberal feminist” who wrote in support of Kavanaugh for Politico, works for a firm with many powerful clients who would like to be on Kavanaugh’s good side.) The confirmation would also be a further boost to the reputation of Yale Law School to get its fourth alum onto the highest court in the land (Kavanaugh would join Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor as current Yale alumni on the court).

Trump’s tariffs put GOP candidates in a bind in rural areas

Trump’s tariffs put GOP candidates in a bind in rural areas

“We get him elected into office and he pulls us out of trade agreements”, says wheat farmer Roy Dube.

WTF did you expect?  Does the throng of Trump workshippers actually believe that they were more than “proles”?  Of course this foreign-invested, possibly foreign-owned politician is not in it for the little guy … without the little guy, he would have nothing.  He also would not be able to measure how highly he lords over the little guy.

In the aptly named Harvester Restaurant, wheat farmer Roy Dube makes clear he’s no fan of President Donald Trump’s trade policy.”We get him elected into office and he pulls us out of trade agreements,” Dube said last week as local farmers gathered to hear Democratic House candidate Lisa Brown.
