People are going to die because of this petty, self-entitled asshole.

I wish. I grew up around white people who called themselves “leftists” and the minute they had to give up even the tiniest bit of privilege, suddenly THE LEFT HAD GONE TOO FAR. 

It’s not a long con. It’s just the kind of people who all too often seek out public office. I work in politics/campaigns/governments in a different state. Our state legislature is riddled with petty, self-aggrandizing sociopaths just like Cotham. They don’t flip parties because that would consign themselves to…

I agree that ultimately the person with their name on the show is responsible. I guess it shows the benefits of being nice though. Even though Ellen was only directly accused of being rude to people, that was enough for employees to not care if she went down with the ship, whereas Clarkson is nice enough to employees'…

Yes! I know a bunch of people who’ve worked on the WB lot and Ellen has a reputation - basically that she is very fake nice with the audience and most guests and a handful of fave employees, but otherwise kind of rude and difficult (and even mean at times) with all the others there. I’m glad to hear that Kelly is a…

Didn’t Ellen's whole downfall start with people talking about how horrible she was to with with? I think a lot more of her accusations were about her directly.

The best era.

She got bumped up to CEO at a notable company. Gravity now equals -9.8 m/s^2 for her, as with other CEOs. She can only fail upward.

Yeah, he just means that he’ll be involved in steering development towards his ‘everything app’ (X), and only in very, very broad strokes. SysOps isn’t really a thing at Twitter either.

As somebody who is in deep with sysops, no, he won’t be. It;s a transparent attempt to sound involved but it’s some of the most dry, banal subject matter.

He called it that to make it sound fancy and techy, but it’s minutiae and paperwork.

Given her background, I assume that she’ll be there to mend fences with advertisers, and to rebuild the communications department. Replying to all inquiries with a poop emoji can only last for so long.

He doesn’t always listen there either. The SpaceX and Tesla people are just better at handling him as a boy king. They tend to gently steer him in the right direction, but he still makes idiotic calls once in a while.

Heh, “sysops...” He means DevOps. Tell me you haven’t coded since the advent of cloud computing without telling me you haven’t coded since the advent of cloud computing.

Trump was probably sundowning and it was cut short.

Has Emily been in anything other than Gone Girl?

Freedom of speech does not mean news channels are obligated to facilitate your lying to the world.

CNN should not have had him at all. How would a Trump town hall be deemed news worthy... CNN simply sponsored a long campaign ad Trump. Isn’t this how he got elected the first time?

CNN should have grown some balls and have done live factchecking. And when he (inevitably) refused to admit he was lying, they should have ended the interview there and then.

I keep going back to that woman in 2016...I think she was at CPAC. She spouted one of Trump’s lies, the reporter corrected her (oh, those were the days), and the old woman said, “Well, never mind. I choose to believe it’s true.”

“CNN really didn’t have to give him such a serious platform tonight from which to spew his bullshit.” You got that right! I watched 10 minutes to confirm it would be another Trump shit show, and from your report, it sounds like it got worse, including his chorus of laughing hyenas.
