There's actually been research showing that CEO and other senior executive roles tend to attract a disproportionate amount of people with psychopathic tendencies when compared to the general population.

Here's an article about it.

Yep, that's him. The dude hates ugly people but apparently doesn't own a mirror. I make a point of not attacking people for their looks, because it can't be helped, and I'm not exactly Ryan Gosling over here lol... But when you make it the core of your business, then it's fair game. It's almost impressive that Mike Jeffries has managed to be uglier on the inside than he is on the outside.

Yeah, Netflix released a documentary a few years ago called "White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch" that partially addressed what a fucking sleazy guy Mike Jeffries is. While it didn't get into any claims related to this news, it definitely made it clear that he's an asshole and solely responsible for Abercrombie's pivot from being an outdoors oriented clothing brand to selling wildly unrealistic body standards to teenagers at malls in the 2000s. It's been awhile, but from what I recall, nobody interviewed in the documentary had anything nice to say about him.

And the irony is, Mike Jeffries looks like Gary Busey having a bad hair day, but he would've taken one look at me when I was 15 and been like "I don't want him wearing our clothes, he's too short and he's got acne. Gross." That's the kind of prick he is. He despises anyone that doesn't meet his standard of beauty and genuinely did not want "ugly" people wearing A&F.

So I can't say I'm all that surprised to learn he was doing much more horrific shit behind the scenes, too. And now with this news breaking, I'm just starting the count-down until he gets his own multi-part episode of Behind The Bastards.

Hard to say, he's been dead for 94 years, but... Maybe? 🤔

Moscow stands accused of launching a massive campaign of vote buying, funneling cash through its proxies into the accounts of ordinary voters, as well as using social media to sow fears about the prospect of EU membership leading to a direct conflict with Russia.

Watching Putin fail never gets old.

At first I found it baffling that the Trump Campaign would go along with Donald’s McStupid idea for a photo op because anyone not experiencing significant cognitive decline would be able to see that it’d put a lot of unwanted attention back on the fact that Donald Trump has never worked a day in his life. But after some thought, I suppose it did succeed in getting people to stop talking about his dementia induced DJ set for an afternoon.

The six part series was released between May 16th 2023 and June 1st 2023.

It’s a franchise location so the “small business” being referred to is DG Torresdale LLC not McDonalds Corp. There are plenty of things to criticize this prick for without having to resort to nitpicking an incredibly obnoxious but technically correct description of the business.

Dear Feasterville Community,

We plan to be closed on Sunday, October 20 until 4 p.m., to accommodate a visit at the request of former President Trump and his campaign.

While we are not a political organization, we proudly open our doors to everyone and as a locally owned and operated location, this visit provides a unique opportunity to shine a light on the positive impact of smal businesses here in Feasterville. We're equally honored to share the significance of what 1 in 8 Americans have experienced: that a job at McDonald's is more than just a job. It's a pathway to critical skills development and meaningful career opportunties. Having started my McDonald's journey as a crew member in New York nearty 30 years ago. this path to economic opportunity is especially meaningful to me.

I apologize for the inconvenience of closing our restaurant and sincerely look forward to serving you very soon.

- Derek Giacomantonio and my team at Feasterville McDonald's

This franchise owner has a lot of nerve… He wants to have his cake and eat it too. Hosting Donald Trump at your location for a staged photo op based on a manufactured controversy intended to mock Kamala Harris and anyone that’s ever worked a fast food job is as blatantly political as it gets. Fuck you, Derek.

Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.

Imagine living such a privileged life that the closest you've ever come to feeling oppressed was when you had to wear a mask to pick up dino nuggets at Walmart. Preppers have always been clowns, but COVID definitely ruined what little facade there ever actually was about the "movement" being anything other than a masturbatory LARP.

Yeah, me too because these fucking judges keep doling out slaps on the wrist. What the hell do you expect when you're consistently sentencing these insurrectionists to, at most, less than half of what prosecutors are requesting?

It reminds me of an old joke from The Simpsons: "You gotta help us doc, we've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!"

 

Colin Allred's quote:

“You can’t be for the mob on January 6 and for the officers. You can’t. I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y’all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was, and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had because they had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors, we barred the doors… And I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron and at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, “Whatever happens, I love you.” I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after he’d gone around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow an election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in a supply closet."
