What If Comey Was Fired Because Of This?

Suppose, during the fall of 2016, before the election, Donald Trump's campaign offered Jim Comey, our former FBI director, a gratuity in exchange for publicly reopening the investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton's emails on her private server? What if Comey, during a moment of weakness, accepted this bribe, thinking the investigation would not go any further than any of the numerous previous investigations of the same matter? Then, after another investigation leading to no actual wrongdoing or crime on Secretary Clinton's part, was threatened by Trump's goons, and by Rudy Giuliani, to "earn" the bribe he had taken? Could this be the reason he made the announcement on October 27 that arguably threw the election?

What if the "payment" was not only to throw the election, but to actually find or manufacture false evidence against Secretary Clinton? Could that be the real reason Donald Trump decided to tell Jim Comey, via an announcement on national television, that he was fired?

It's possible.

No, I Didn't Hear Your Imaginary Apology

Allow me to make something easier for you to understand, without going into too much detail. If you want to apologize to me for something, asking me to read your mind and accept your apology telepathically is unreasonable. Yes, I knew you were thinking about it, and I noticed the change in your behavior. Still, your vicious rumor campaign against me, your attempts at shaming anyone who became friends with me after I married Keith, and your outrageous lies demand an amend, rather than a flimsy apology. Words, in this case, are empty. I will not believe you are truly sorry until you approach every single person to whom you've slandered me and tell them that you were simply trying to hurt someone you didn't actually know, and explain that you did not have a reason for all the nasty things you said. Short of that, the gesture you didn't make, but which you thought I should take for granted, means nothing.

An amend, in this case, is going to be difficult for you or your ilk to make. Can you give back everything you've taken? Can you fix what you broke? Probably not, but I still would have been more inclined to respect you if you had, at least, spoken up, and not expected me to read your behavioral cues or your mind. Whether or not I actually can read your mind is beside the point. At the very least, you owe me an explanation for the things you said and did. Your outrage at finding your picture in my "troll gadget" is amusing, but if you had treated me with respect, I might have considered removing your picture. Why are you so concerned about it, anyways? You wanted to hurt my feelings and piss me off, and you succeeded. Since I felt that there was a "debt" of sorts, that needed to be paid, and you acted like a troll toward me on another person's Facebook page, I went ahead and took a picture of you out of the public domain for the list of trolls. Aren't you happy that you succeeded in making me sad? Wasn't that your intention? The fact that I noticed your efforts should make you feel that you accomplished your goal!

As for your dramatic performance, the one in which you went from person to person, complaining about how rotten I am, because I didn't accept your imaginary apology or believe you had changed because you learned how to feign some fake manners; I only have one comment: where's the eye rolley when I need it? Let me reiterate what I told you in person; I am not a God or a Goddess, that I might forgive you. Nor is it within my powers to balance your Karma.

Parking Ticket Wars

Life in Kansas City. Kansas City, Missouri, that is. After getting more parking tickets, over the years, than he could shake a stick at, Aaron Wendel paid up, but the court's computer system was never updated to reflect this. So he went over his bank records, pulled out his seventy foot long receipt, and proved it. He also went to the local news, to let everyone else know that it's possible for the judicial system to...ahem...be wrong!

Wendel took another pre-emptive measure: he bought a school bus! His rational was that towing a school bus is a lot more involved than towing a sedan, and he has never seen a boot big enough for a school bus!

Is It Blackmail If You Don't Get Paid?

Interesting. Nixon actually went on national television stating that blackmail might not actually be blackmail, in elected political office, if the blackmailer suspected that he might not get paid! Voters, please pay attention when you vote, and don't get your candidates at Kmart!

 

Michelle Bachman, just shut up!

 

Homeless And Hungry

I saw this on Facebook and liked it, and so shared it here.

I used to work at Subway a couple months ago, but I quit. And what made me quit was one time a homeless man came in to get a sandwich. He asked if the sandwich would be more than $10. One of my coworkers told him no and he carried on. When he got down to the register, he was searching frantically for his money, and with such shame on his face he said he couldn't find it and started to leave. But I called out to him and said I would pay for it. I got my credit card and paid for an entire meal for this man, with no discounts. Completely in full. He thanked me over and over. Then when the next person in line got to the register she told me how nice of thing I did. Now when everyone left I was in the back cleaning and my manager yelled at me. Telling me that if someone can't pay for their food you tell them to leave. I told her that I wasn't going to let him starve. It was 115 degrees outside. He was probably exhausted, dehydrated and very hungry. I was so baffled about the fact that I just got in trouble for helping someone in need. I was being constantly told by owners and supervisors of the company that this was a business about people and making people happy. But I guess the homeless aren't people. So I quit a week later.
