Corporations Behaving Badly

PTO donation is common practice. I get that, but it is still crap. Especially when being espoused by the President & CEO, who conceivably could show some compassion. More than that, I would argue that quietly giving the employee extra PTO for her medical issues would have a great positive benef...

Its a medical from. Doctors need to know this information. YOUR doctor needs to know that information, not the school district if you don't choose to share it.

Interesting that Trump encouraged her to run -- I can only think of one reason for him to do that: he doesn't think is any kind of serious challenge to him and wants as many "also-rans" in the field as possible to make his MAGA block a solid plurality.

If Baldwin had not impersonated the Fat Orange Shit on SNL everyone would have wrote this off as an accident, same as when something similar happened to Brandon Lee.

There's likely to be zero chain of custody, or I mean, an enormous hole in the chain of custody.

Yeah, but if they can prove Trump had them, that would make for a much easier trial conviction, imho. Hear me out.

If they have confirmed what they have and what they don't, they're not going to tell us. I suspect they have a fairly complete and accurate list of what they think is still missing. And I suspect there's a great deal of discussion behind the scenes as to what to do about it. Because as others have ...
