I just wanted her to go away as quickly as possible, so I didn't react to her pitch and told her that I'm "undecided" (which is technically true, but omits the important "but definitely NOT Bloomberg" caveat).Am I giving the Bloomberg campaign false hope and distorting "polling numbers" with my action? less

Seriously?Illogical.Bernie is trying to buy the presidency too. On a smaller scale. Why else does he brag about the millions his supporters send in? Money talks Bernie and you've been talking it up too else we would never know what YOUR war chest has in it. Bloomberg came along and made yours look puny. Before Bloomie showed up weren't YOU top dog money-wise? The difference is just in the size not the purpose. Buying elections is what people do. It takes money to run ads. It takes money to pay people to go out and try to get folks to vote for you.Bernie wants it two ways it seems. Can he have his cake and eat it too? Mebbe. He has a powerful lot of supporters. less

He thought that was the strangest thing to say to anyone but he took it very well. He told me the obvious of course. "Well you can't but thank you for the compliment" or words to that effect.He was hands down the smartest most intelligent boss I ever had and actually he forced me to expand my perception of my abilities. No joke. He would not hand me easy answers. He told me to figure it out and then if I needed help he'd be happy to explain things. I was FURIOUS with him. In fact I remember slamming the door behind me when I left his office once! His reaction to that? Nothing. Never said a word. Never mentioned it. It was my short-term temper tantrum hissy fit. Never did it again. In my fury I began to figure things out because he gave me no other option. Best boss I ever had. Thanks to him I eventually became an INTERNAL AUDITOR which is all about figuring things out on your own! Those were very good days retrospectively. Very good indeed! Your favorite boss is/was and why? less

What were they thinking? Ah that is the essence of the problem. The nobrains are now being confronted en masse and well how can it end? How do you think it will end? All the abominations are eliminated forever or the abominations win and the people are eliminated forever? All that will remain are the adoring worshippers and the brainless evildoers. And they lived happily ever after. How sweet.I have no clue what the end will be or when it will have its way with us. We will find out one day. TODAY? Tomorrow? Surely not tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. Let it then be TODAY! less

More than 1,100 former Justice Department employees signed a public letter Sunday urging Attorney General William P. Barr to resign over his handling of the case of President Trump’s longtime friend Roger Stone — and exhorted current department employees to report any unethical conduct.
The letter is the latest sign of a crisis of confidence inside the department. Four prosecutors quit the Stone case last week after Barr and other Justice Department leaders pushed for a softer prison recommendation for Stone, who is due to be sentenced this week.
The four prosecutors had originally recommended a prison sentence of seven to nine years for Ston... less
