He is grandstanding for his folks in West Virginia. He supports the bill or would not have voted for it. So shut Manchin and get off TV claiming you are worried about debt.

West Virginia can you do better than this?

 

[Bill Derington]

It's not about being equal. It's about acts of war or not.

If it were seen as the same then Biden would've taken credit for it, and not done it secretly. The hit on the Iranian General was not covered up and the US made it known we did it.

If it's true, we just hurt our own allies in Europe just to prolong a war that we are not engaged in.

Biden: Americans ‘not going to pay attention’ to House GOP Hunter probes

President Biden has tried to downplay House Republican probes into his embattled son Hunter and the rest of his family — claiming that Americans just won’t be interested.

Mr Roth can actually answer a yes or no question with a yes or no. Yes he answers. Roth was involved in censoring the New York Post Hunter laptop story. He is a bad man who deserves prison.

He is confident in saying this because he knows the U.S. Department of Justice is corrupt and will protect him. So he laughs in the face of Americans.

I can't wait until the Republicans jettison Trump and nominate DeSantis then he gets up there and gives his acceptance speech in his annoying 3rd grade math teacher explaining why ping pong balls bounce voice of his that will be like steroid NyQuil poured down the throat of the entire country.

DeSantis is the kind of guy you instantly hate as soon as you hear him talk as he is unable to complete a single sentence without sounding like a condescending prick. Trump will eat him alive in the debates and DeSantis will look like a coward when he stands there and takes it like he's doing now.

DeSantis isn't using a tactic, he is scared shitless and thinks he can duck and hide from Trump all the way to the nomination without getting his hide removed and that is not going to happen.

Peel that onion, Trump.

Arkansas is actually an all-white GQP state of Christian-nationalists or taxation without representation in the governor's mansion?

There are many big corporations on the verge of cutting thousands of jobs.

It will bring down inflation. Unemployment rate is too low.

Not sure what the R answer is but it’s not Trump. Idc if he gets 100m votes, he’ll never be allowed to win.

It’s a fools game to even play along at this point.

While I don’t necessarily disagree that he won’t be allowed to win, if that’s true, then it’s also true that it doesn’t matter who runs because they too will be denied victory.

I agree with that as well.

I wish we’d hear more about election integrity reform than we do about Hunters laptop but seems Rs will need to lose a few more in a row before they wake up, if they do.

If Trump couldnt win in 2020, then he’s never winning.

WESH Orlando Fined Over Vaccine Mandate For Political Debate​

A fine of $5,000 per person is required under Florida law for businesses requiring proof of vaccination from COVID-19, or post-infection recovery, “to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the entity.” The department cited Section 381.00316(1), Florida Statutes.

Hunter's laptop doesn't matter. It's the information on it that matters and who it implicates. Need to get this out of the way first and use the momentum for election reform. Prove the 2020 election was a 3rd world sham first to add weight to the next fight. Vote in person, show an ID.

No, Republicans cannot win a rigged election.

[OHIO COLONEL]

It's amazing how many people I know who 10 years or so ago paid little to no attention to politics other than voting. Then starting the last Obama term (school lunches, let's all go to the same bathroom together, I'm against gay marriage...now I'm all for it, etc) they started. Then with Trump....'fake news' (which is not hard to prove), Russia, Russia...etc....they really started paying close attention. People who 10 years ago thought that elections for the most part were fair and honest....now think they're rigged.

People waking up and paying close attention? Or a function of getting older/wiser and not concentrating 100% on careers?

 

[DrH. Lecter]

I had sign a non compete when I worked at a heavenly ham during my senior year.

Explain what you believe that you say you signed. Non Compete? How exactly do you "compete" at Heavenly Ham? Were you a manager of a store? Outside sales person who called on customers soliciting corporate customers for HH? I frankly think there is a great deal of mis and disinformation about what a non-compete is. Confidentiality agreement is not a NC agreement.

 

[55wildcat]

 

[DrH. Lecter]

It's redic for a fastfood job but banning the use of non competes will hurt sales of co's. Most co's that get bought out are only buying the name and client list. Nobody will pay for a co if the seller can just use the money from the sale to open a new business and then get all his old clients back. This is one of those things that politicians that have never lived in the real world come up with.

The owner selling his business is not a cashier at a fast food. I cannot think of any way to write up a TRUE non-compete for a cashier at McDonalds. Now selling your business and agreeing to not go back after your existing customers is standard and will not change. Its just part of the contract. Typically the old owner gets a year or 2 contract to assist in the transition. Often business sales, especially when the value was based on its customers will have a way to revalue the sale at some point down the road if the new owner loses the old owners customers. Especially in the case when there is a business with a great deal of RMR from that list.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

What's heavenly Ham's competition? Kroger?

I'm calling BS.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

I worked for a company where I signed a non compete when hired. Was a Regional Mgr and was recruited and hired by a competitor. About 6 months later I was sued for $1M by my old employer. We (me and my new company) counter sued for $2M. Case went thru a number of depositions. I was to be last. Day before my scheduled deposition my old company dropped the suit. We thought that it was all to find out what, if anything, I was going to do (had already hired two of my old employees). Luckily I lived in Georgia which at that time didn't recognize non competes.
Knew of a guy at the same company who went to work for a competitor. He lived in Arizona (I think). They sued him as well and he lost. Heard he lost his house.

That communist goofball running the FTC set the threshold at 25% ownership for an allowable noncompete, but suggested they were open to removing a stated percentage and keeping it ambiguous which would be even worse.

[Catman100]

I've got the best non compete story.

Signed one when I started working at a fortune 10 company based out of Pennsylvania. 7 years later covid causes a reorganization and a 35% drop in the sales force. The new mapped out territory overlapped another territory, so both me and the guy from that territory had to interview to get the ONE new position that would cover both territories.

Although I had been in the company 7 years, the other guy 1, and I was the number one ranked member of the team of 8, and a top ten ranked member of the entire force of 120, my new boss, who hired the other guy, pulled the strings to get him the job.

Needless to say I was shocked, but I was given a severance package and an end date. A month before my last day, I found out one of our main competitors was hiring for the same exact position. After interviewing with them, I was offered the position and expected to start with them as soon as I finished with my old company.

Somehow or another, my old company managed to remind me that I signed a non compete and that they would have to approve the new position I would be taking. I guess I had no thought that they might actually enforce it, but sure enough they did. Even though I was let go for a company reorganization and not for cause, they told me I would not be allowed to take that new position with the new company.

Unbelievably unfair if you ask me, but I did not have the money or desire to fight it in court. I quickly got another position, but I will probably always wish I had fought it.

One positive was that I found out both my old boss and the guy that got the job were both gone from the company within a year.

Never mentioned voting for Uni party.

What would make you think Trump can win when he had even more support then than now and lost.

He was running against a dementia patient with zero enthusiasm behind his ticket. Single digits attending his rallies. It was a layup and they stole it. Nothing has been done to fix that or make sure it doesn’t happen again. In what universe does Trump all of a sudden win in 2024?

I’m not interested in going through the whole “they stole the election” saga again. We know it was stolen. We know midterms were rigged. We know it will be stolen again. Republicans need to do something about it for fux sake but they won’t because the party don’t want Trump other than a handful.

He should’ve cleaned house while he was in there because Lord knows if we ever get another shot at it.

Like I said I’m not sure what the answer is, but it doesn’t seem to be much of concern for todays Repubs and that’s a major if not the only issue they need to be focusing on right now. Running out of time.

Killing heads of terrorist organizations, who do not lead independent nations, are not acts of war. Overthrowing Saddam Huessein and killing him was. But I think congress declared that war, didn’t they?

Blowing up a pipeline that supplies a large portion of the energy of an independent nation to force them to buy US oil is definitely an act of war against Russia. Eye of the beholder for Germany.

So you say.
