Hmm, I have AT&T for my phone service and was already thinking about dropping them for Spectrum, which uses Verizon's towers.

Has it come out that Spectrum has done some shady poo poo too? I'm sure they have.


I don't want my money directly funding OAN though.

All large media conglomerates are assuredly shady as poo poo, but good god, not directly pumping money into OAN feels like the lowest of loving low bars.

There was a great ring video from a few years back, guy shows up to do contracting work with a huge confederate flag on back of jacked up truck. The homeowner is black and tells him he's not hired and the guy is so confused and in disbelief that he would have to answer for his overt racist bullshit. Chuds are morally bankrupt and braindead, but their sense of entitlement that's most disgusting.

Update on my co-worker: my boss was in yesterday and I asked him about my co-worker's status and he confirmed that he's at home with COVID and said on Saturday that his lungs felt like they were on fire but he wasn't going to the hospital. My boss is super pissed off about the whole situation, and even stood up for his other employees (two of which have infants) and told him how selfish it was to remain unvaccinated.

I kinda hope he develops long COVID, because all Trumpers deserve it.

Anyone that that worked in the trump administration to the end who wants to write a lurid tell-all can get hosed. You knew all these things and still continued to aid the trump administration. How can they possibly think coming clean now will in any way reflect positively on them? And dear god the sheer audacity of her to be the WH secretary who famously never took questions and now she wants to come out? :dumbbravo:

Congrats to Grisham on making both progressives and MAGA edgelords see her for the spineless trash she is

Not in any way defending her, but given the overly litigious nature of Trump, I am under the impression that the book would not have made it to print during his presidency. Surely every member of staff was under some 4,000 page NDA. And it's not like she could have said ANYTHING during his presidency that would have changed the way his supporters view him. It was evident from the beginning when the "grab 'em by the pussy" audio leaked that he could casually snap kittens in half on live television during the debates without consequences.

I personally think it's good these books have been coming out because we're going to need plenty of motivational material to read while waiting in line for five days to vote at the one designated poll location each blue county has available in states run by chuds.

On the other hand, I find a lot of what she says to be fishy in a controlled opposition kind of way. Getting a colonoscopy without anesthesia because he wasn't comfortable letting Mike Pence assume the role of President for even a short period sounds like something he'd see as projecting strength. It's definitely something his supporters would admire. And it's a much better narrative than the previous speculation that he was there for treatment related to having mini-strokes or heart issues.

I also find the claim about broadway musicals calming him down to be odd given that so many former staff members mentioned that he never displayed a fondness for music. Having a "music man" play a show tune in order to calm him down sounds exactly like something Trump would think is normal for a high-brow "stable genius" to do.

If I'm thinking of the right video, the flag isn't in frame at the start. So it's just a lady saying "WE WILL NIT BE NEEDING YOUR SERVICES" until the dude pulls out of the driveway, then you see the big dumb racist traitor flag.

We had a landscaper earlier this year that was halfway through our project before he started dropping racist/Trump/anti-vax poo poo after he saw my partner’s Bernie shirt. He was already loving up and that was the last straw so we fired him and hired someone else to finish. The new guy did an awesome job and actually wore a mask when he was talking with us.

The chud lost a $10,000 job because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmorland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmorland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

I realize this is the LOL thread but re transplants, this is the biggest nothingburger.

There are tons of requirements and priorities and complex algorithms for who gets organs, and one of the quickest ways to get moved down the list or delisted is to be in a condition where you are likely to die or kill the organ, thereby wasting the transplant.

There are limits on BMI. There are limits on drug use. There are limits on other illnesses. Etc, etc, etc.

But antis are gunna fuckin screech about this.
