Can you just give us a quick summary?

A quick summary isn't really enough to fully understand Trump's modus operandi, but I'll try...


"Fight back."

Whatever. What good is the bullshit that comes out of Spicer's mouth? CNN and the Times need to go find some real news.

Interesting. I had read some reports that his whole philosophy was to immediately put the other party in a negotiation on the defensive.

but what about my feelings?

The Trump administration has enlisted senior members of the intelligence community and Congress in efforts to counter news stories about Trump associates’ ties to Russia, a politically charged issue that has been under investigation by the FBI as well as lawmakers now defending the White House.

Acting at the behest of the White House, the officials made calls to news organizations last week in attempts to challenge stories about alleged contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives, U.S. officials said.

They completely got rid of all the workforce around 5 years ago and hired Mexicans to replace them. Actually told them this when they let them go. About a month ago, WeaseBro managed to get on with them again. The only people working there that aren't Mexicans are my bro and the manager. Bro told me the other day that they are selling all their stuff. Just totally liquidating. Vehicles, furniture, everything. They're getting ready for the move.

I might take a trip back home when it's all over, just to drive around and see the shuttered restaurants, empty factories, and miserable looking jackasses.
