Then there are those that don’t. I had some terrible CMs, and some decent ones. The tone was set from the top, so the on cars were pricks or not depending on the CMs personality. Ironically, one of the most devious CMs I had was the most lenient when it came to trash talking each other, and not friendly talk either. He once told me to go home and hang myself, I told him to eff himself. Came in next day like nothing happened. Not a friendly exchange. Different world in the 90s.
i was part of that kind of banter then. Never would have told anyone to hang themselves but it was a lot of good natured profanity laced back and forth banter. Good times lot of laughs . I would have gotten fired for some of that if i had said it in todays world as the late generations came in with all their sensitivity issues.

It was peak, lot of stress. You had to have been there. I have no ill will against him, he was a prick but by and large, fair.

Trump responded to a reporter's question about El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele offering to take prisoners.

"I love it," Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday. "If he would take them, I'd be honored to give them. I don't know what the law says on that, but I can't imagine the law would say anything different ... If they can house these horrible criminals for a lot less money than it costs us, I'm all for it."
some people call it trolling and sometimes it is . Trump likes creativity . you can tell because he tries things no one else thought of. of. part of his "trolling" i think is to float and test ideas out there and see what kind of response he gets from the public. He likes the salvadorian prison model because housing them in the US has gotten to be very expensive. he can do it in other countries for a fraction of the cost here. i think he likes the thought of taking the most violent criminals that will spend the rest of their lives in jail and housing them at a reduced cost elsewhere.

i was not the prick unless you deliberately pushed my buttons or didnt change poor work behaviour usually attendence or service mistakes . I tried to be fair with everyone else. my reward was that i got a lot of good feedback from my group that helped me be successful. Not bragging and trying to tell anyone what a great guy i was i just had to go with what worked for me.

By and large he was decent. He actually rode with me to learn how Diad 1 worked, lol. He was my first center manager, I never really had an issue with him, I was to busy running, trying to get on the seniority list. He was the one that got me on it.

everyone need a little lulz sometime :raspberry-tounge:
I have a feeling you wouldn’t have been laughing if Biden trolled about sending Jan 6 prisoners to an El Salvador prison

Trump gets no accountability from you guys. It’s set up where if he says something bad he’s just trolling and if he does something dumb it’s 4d chess and if he’s loses then the system was rigged

Since Trump won there are no reports of them Haitians still there or reports of the cats, dogs and geese being eaten, so prove me wrong that he didn’t clean that town up! Promises made promises kept! Thanks you Trump for protecting the animals. You sick bastards that didn’t care can go to hell.

I don’t see a dog in this picture. We have to assume it was eaten.

I agree that there is a lack of accountability.

Both sides spend far more time than is fair defending the actions of those "on their side" rather than judging them standalone.

I don't feel it is at all incongruous to criticize a politician's action while still liking a given politician overall. I wish more people would take that approach.

What are you saying?

Both sides of the aisle give the benefit of the doubt to "their guy" entirely too much.

It's okay to criticize a politician's idea or choice on a given topic. It shouldn't make you the enemy.
They are both the enemy, grasshopper. Trump has sprayed the hornets nest. He’s a unique president, not running for reelection, can’t be bribed, can’t be lured into a honey trap, isn’t impressed by famous people. This is probably our only shot to reset this country’s path. It’s more important for you than it is for me. Take a stand, grow a set. No matter what side you’re on. That’s what it’s come to.

I don't do sides.
And if that makes me against both sides, then so be it.

I voted for President Trump. It doesn't mean I have to approve of everything he does.
It takes far more courage to stand on principle here than to fall in line with a given party. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not exactly super popular with the left wing on this site at all. I support actions, not people.
