And some version of that 10 foot acknowledge 4 foot greet rule has become a staple of customer service training.

The comments are ridiculous. Smiling, greeting people, and seeing if they need help has been part of customer service training forever.

Don't shop at Target because they caved to anti-DEI pressure, but don't dogpile them for training their employees on how to provide good service.

My wife and I watched it right before Halloween. Very creepy!

When Trump says the ballroom isn't being paid for by taxpayers he is lying. The kickbacks these donors will get will be much greater than the cost of the ballroom.

I can't think of the Vindicator without thinking of the CCAF. Sold 'mech for a common trooper.

My union hall was the most diverse place in my entire city. It was more diverse than my single workplace, stores, entertainment complex, and churches.

"President Donald Trump instructed the military to resume..."

Fixed the sanewashing in your headline.

When Trump says that this isn't funded by taxpayers he is lying. We are more than paying for it though kickbacks to the donors.

Impeach and convict him for tearing down the White House after lying about it.

Prosecute the architects and construction workers that are doing this.

Prosecute the donors that made this happen.

Trump being impeached for destroying the White House has a nice ring to it.
October 22, 2025 at 2:06 AM
This makes me sick to my stomach. The White House is a sacred space to Americans and he is tearing it apart to suit his whimsy.

The GOP Congress gave the power of the purse to Trump. He could write an Executive Order declaring that for "national security" or "to combat China" or some other bogus excuse he is eliminating the debt ceiling and reopening the government. MAGA will always allow him more power.

One mass shooting was against a traditionally conservative group.

Another was done by someone who bought into right wing conspiracy theories.

Guess the one that is being ignored and which one is all over corporate media.

In the Sci-Fi book Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner, muckers are people who all of a sudden commit random acts of mass violence. There is no reason, other than the consequences of overpopulation, nihilism, loss of feeling like an individual, and public apathy. Very predictive for 1968.

As a Christian, I'm sure he was familiar with Galatians "for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Kirk sowed violence as necessary and acceptable, no surprise that's what he reaped.
