Oh, reviewing more of Costa's stream he's talking about the border bill not the Boehner lawsuit bill as I had assumed.

This is for the ~$600 million plan, right? Which means it's probably dead since Pelosi wouldn't want any of that either. Really though what are their plans then? I mean...things cost money!

Oh god, gently caress Fiorina. If laying off thousands of people while she raises her own salary and buys a yacht is what's considered "good, responsible governance" then gently caress that.

The animosity that she gets from the tech sector is through the roof.

While she's certainly corporate-sleazy enough, I doubt that her views on social issues are extreme enough for the nutbags that determine who the GOP nominee is.

She tried running as a moderate Republican here in 2010 (bahahahahahaha). Thankfully, most people didn't fall for it and she didn't win anywhere besides where Republicans normally win in off-years (e.g. Orange County, most of the Central Valley, etc). I heard HP had a good corporate culture before Fiorina came along during the dot com bust. The hate she gets from them is pretty justified.

So in the latest of the on-going hilarity that is the Mississippi Senate race, you may recall it was a thing that blogger and McDaniel supporter Charles C Johnson was reporting that voters were paid to vote for Cochran. This is a serious charge, so the Attorney General Jim Hood began investigating. Turns out not only did the people claiming they were paid recant and deny most of their statements that Johnson reported, the AG now says Johnson paid them to claim the Cochran campaign paid them for votes Oh, and now the question is where Johnson got the money to pay them from. Chris McDaniel still hasn't given up his challenge btw

The stock market put the value of her leadership at somewhere around negative $3billion if you go by the jump when she was forced to resign.

Fried Chicken posted:Not so much. Here's an article from Esquire covering a fight over corporate control Oh hey, cool to see this showing up here. I used to shop at Market Basket, before this all happened. It's seriously bizarre - basically the entire chain is rebelling against its board of directors. Both the management and the rank-and-file are in on it. There's signs all over the stores asking customers to shop elsewhere, employees standing outside the stores with placards. I've never seen anything like it.

Why isn't anyone asking the most important question? Does she even have her husband's permission to be a politician? I mean, Bachmann does. So it's basically the bare minimum I'm asking here.

I remember during my senior year in high school when I tried watching stuff on YouTube I would always get Fiorina ads (this was before I discovered AdBlock  )"Barbara Boxer has been in Washington for a very long time...what does she do?" "I'll be an independent voice for California" in a nutshell, useless pandering.
