Businesses are generally designed to create wealth for the owners. Governments should be designed for benefit of all the people. A business can shed unprofitable components. A government cannot. The comparison is much different than that of apples and oranges.

I'll see your crazy and raise you:

A friend who identified as an independent and prided herself on doing her research (before the term became a red flag for conspiracy theorists) and read the books of all the candidates, favored Ben Carson in 2016. When I questioned his lack of experience in y'know, everything that wasn't surgery, she explained that because he was a lead surgeon and had to supervise a large team ( just checked, and Wikipedia says 70 people), she figured he would do okay leading the executive branch.

Is he still heading up HUD, btw? /sarcasm

Or Wisconsin with Ron Johnson.

Then there was noted private sector fetishist Scott Walker, whose fetish always struck people who closely followed his career as very strange given that he had never actually worked in the private sector.

IF the Dems decide it’s in their interest to field a candydate I hope it’s Tom Steyer. I liked his ideas. Too bad he seems to be missing a personality - he’s a wonk, not an entertainer. I prefer wonks, personally.

Caitlyn Jenner was hit with vile transphobic abuse at the Conservative Political Action Conference by a heckler who called her Bruce and branded her a 'sick freak.'

The former Olympic gold decathlete, 71, was repeatedly called 'Bruce' by the troll, who appeared to be filming himself abusing Jenner.

He struck as the aspiring California governor chatted with fans in the lobby of the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas on Friday.

The abuser, who has not been named, could be heard shouting: 'Hey Bruce. Bruce. What do you think of the stuff they're teaching in schools regarding the LGBTQ? Bout Jesus Christ Bruce, don't forget about Jesus.'

He then added: 'Look at that sick freak.'

Jenner did not rise to the cruelty, and pretended not to notice the man as she strolled through the lobby and into a waiting SUV.

She fell victim to a practice known as 'deadnaming' - where a transgender person is deliberately called the name they used before transitioning in a bid to upset them.

Damn, Foggy, now you have a HUGE DILEMMA: Will you be riding the Amy Kremer bus, or the Caitlyn Jenner bus? Maybe split the time and fly between so there's no fighting?
Jenner said she would spend the final month of the campaign on a bus tour of the state. She also said she would release her tax returns next week. After an initial burst of publicity when she announced her candidacy on April 23, Jenner has faded from the campaign spotlight while other GOP candidates have sought to raise their profiles. They include San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer and businessman John Cox, who was defeated by Newsom in 2018. State Assemblyman Kevin Kiley entered the race last week, and conservative radio host Larry Elder is considering a run.

The 71-year-old Jenner has anchored her campaign to televised media interviews, which have included embarrassing stumbles that highlighted her inexperience, including recently acknowledging she wasn’t deeply versed in Newsom’s latest budget. Jenner’s brief appearance before reporters was devoid of any detailed policy discussion. Jenner suggested building desalination plants to produce more water for the drought-ridden state but provided no specifics about when or where such plants could be built.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Caitlyn Jenner feud on Twitter
BY OLAFIMIHAN OSHIN - 07/12/21 05:01 PM EDT

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and California gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner (R) sparred on Twitter on Monday following an appearance by Jenner at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

"GOP support & consultants working to elect Jenner for Governor in CA are playing the left’s stupid identity politics game. A game that sells out our faith, family, and freedoms," Greene's post read. "Stop promoting this man in a dress & NEVER-Trumper. CA Patriots worked too hard & deserve better," Greene added.

In response, Jenner said the Georgia lawmaker had "backed down to the woke mob." “Tough talk coming from someone who backed down to the woke mob and settled out of court with a Twitter troll,” Jenner wrote. “Now your money is being used to take guns away from law abiding Americans.”

Jenner, who announced earlier this year that she’s running as a Republican for governor of California amid an effort to recall current Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), made an appearance at the CPAC conference, where she was met with transphobic remarks. Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren said in a tweet on Monday that the transphobic attacks toward Jenner “are despicable.”

Tomi Lahren got involved.




Lauren is not amused by any of this.

Your occasional reminder that you can be a trans ally and still think Caitlyn Jenner is an asshole.

This is the settlement from back in March Caitlyn is referring to:
Rep. Greene agrees not to block critics from Twitter account

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and a Los Angeles-based political action committee have reached a settlement that bars the Georgia Republican from blocking anyone from her public Twitter account or other social media while she’s in office.

Greene also agreed to pay $10,000 to cover legal fees for MeidasTouch LLC, which plans to donate the money to two nonprofit groups, according to Ben Meiselas, the PAC’s co-founder and a lawyer whose clients have included former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
:snippity:
However, Greene was acidly critical of the settlement in a tweet.

“Because of this PAC’s frivolous lawsuit against me, I’m not allowed to block people that threaten my life and my children’s lives every single day on social media,” she tweeted. “And they are bragging about donating the money to organizations that want to take away my guns, so I couldn’t defend myself and my children, when people show up to murder us.”

Friends of a friend of a relative of an acquaintance on a University sports discussion board claim they were on a plane surrounded by police on the tarmac at LAX bound for Sydney. Caitlyn Jenner is on the plane refusing to wear a mask and abusing the flight crew. Why is she going to Sydney? Sydney is locked down tight as a fishes ass at the moment. Where is she going to find an celebrity quarantine isolation homestay? Shouldnt she be on the campaign trail?

Beleaguered airline rep, announcing over plane’s intercom: “Ms. Jenner, we’ve taken the liberty of booking you on the next (other airline’s) flight to Sydney, as we’ve been temporarily grounded as a result of your performance today. You may actually get there ahead of schedule.

But all these other folks will have their travel plans bolloxed, as they sit and wait for the local police and FAA officials to sort things out, yeah thanks for that, but hey. MAGA. FREEDOM. Fuck Your Feelings. We get it.

You may go now.”

Caitlin Jenner Faces Backlash After Flying to Australia to Film Big Brother
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ca ... ar-AAMfQfa
Adelaide newspaper the Advertiser reported that Jenner, 71, had arrived in Sydney this week ahead of an appearance on the program shown on Australia's Channel 7.

Even though it is thought that she will go into a two-week quarantine before spending a week on the set of the TV show, locals who are forbidden from leaving the country accused her of receiving special treatment.

Adding to the rancor is the fact that there are thought to be as many as 34,000 Australians overseas trying to get home, yet just only 3000 are allowed to return each week due to travel restrictions to curb the disease, Australia's ABC News reported.

Has Caitlin Jenner ever read or even heard of the book ‘How to Make Friends and Influence People’? Seems as though she’s not aware of how poorly her actions will affect people’s votes.

From that VF article:
The former Olympian landed in Sydney, Australia, this week, according to local Adelaide tabloid The Advertiser, where she will now have to quarantine for two weeks before filming for the new season of Celebrity Big Brother begins. While the show has yet to confirm Jenner’s casting on the program, according to the outlet she is expected to be paid roughly $372,500 for the appearance.
The question to ask Brad Parscale & the other grifters running her campaign is: Will she donate the $372K to reduce California's deficit? Or is she giving it to charity? Which one?

According to TMZ:
11:14 AM PT -- Sources close to production tell us ... Caitlyn will be in Australia for a total of 3 weeks -- 2 weeks quarantining per the country's COVID rules, and one week filming the show.
Hard to imagine they only shoot a week, but maybe she worked it out to get kicked off first.

Hope she can make it back for the statewide bus tour she promised, Kate will be heartbroken if that happens.
