Trump Blasts “No Talent” Samantha Bee: “Why Aren’t They Firing Her?”
With advertisers fleeing and the left desperately defending so-called comedian Samantha Bee’s calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c**t,” President Trump has now chimed in on the double-standards that were so obvious and previously pointed out over the Roseanne Barr debacle.
Trump asks “Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show?” A good question that points to a “a total double standard” in the liberal media by which any anti-Trump comment is fair but any comment by a pro-Trumper is decried. However, Trump has some soothing words, “that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!”

Notably, TBS has taken down Wednesday’s “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” episode from both its homepage and YouTube. It is also no longer for sale on Amazon, iTunes or Vudu.
And if you’re undecided on what to feel about what TBS should do, this should help…
. @iamsambee please do not apologize.

California Says To Hell With Economics, Will Hike Minimum Wage To $15/Hour
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/28/2016 10:21 -0400
Over the past 12 months, America has had front row seats for a real-life experiment with across-the-board wage hikes.
In January of last year, a grinning Doug McMillon appeared in a video message posted to Wal-Mart’s website to announce that the world’s biggest retailer was set to implement one of the “largest single-day, private-sector pay increases ever.”
Now first of all, McMillon and the rest of the executive suite probably should have reread the statement in quotes above and asked themselves whether that sounded like something that was likely to turn out well. Wal-Mart employs a whole lot of people, and giving everyone a raise is the kind of thing that can end up having unintended consequences – especially when your business runs on the thinnest of margins.
But Wal-Mart pressed ahead anyway and almost immediately, things started to unravel. First, Bentonville moved to squeeze suppliers by forcing them to plow their excess cash into savings rather than in-store advertising. Next came storage fees and eventually, Wal-Mart even tried to compel vendors to pass along any savings they might have recognized from the yuan devaluation.
But squeezing the supply chain proved inadequate to make up the money spent on higher wages and so, Wal-Mart did what anyone with any common sense knew they would end up doing: they fired thousands of people and closed hundreds of stores. Or, visually:
A valuable lesson was learned by all. Or maybe not, because over the weekend, California lawmakers and labor union reps struck a deal to raise the statewide minimum wage to $15/hour.

MSNBC JOB OPENING – WHITE MALES NEED NOT APPLY
If you are a black transgender liberal race baiter with an IQ of 85 and the ability to blame every ill of society on white males, has MSNBC got a gig for you. I think they fired her because of the lisp.
After having her show pre-empted two weeks in a row for somethng inconsequential called “election coverage,” MSNBC hostess and tampon fashion model Melissa Harris-Perry walked off her own show and described her mistreatment entirely in racial terms. Which she backed down from shortly after a presumed conversation with MSNBC’s evil, moustache-twirling, whip-wielding legal department.
After a short cooling off period, Ms. Harris-Perry and MSNBC were able to arrive at a new business arrangement based on the network’s appreciation of her unique talents and contributions. Specifically, she has agreed to never again try to enter their studios, in return for which MSNBC won’t release attack dogs on her or blast her with a fire hose.
You’re Fired – Now Train Your Much Cheaper Foreign Replacement
Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,
If you were laid off from your job, would you be willing to train your replacement if your company threatened to take away your severance pay if you didn’t do it? And how would you feel if your replacement came from India, and the only reason your company was replacing you was because the foreign worker was a lot less expensive?
Sadly, this is happening all over America – especially in the information technology field. Huge corporations such as Disney and Southern California Edison are coldly firing existing tech workers and filling those jobs with much cheaper foreign replacements. They are doing this by blatantly abusing the H-1B temporary worker visa program. Workers that had been doing a solid job for decades are being replaced without any hesitation just because it will save those firms a little bit of money.
There is very, very little loyalty left in corporate America today. Even if you have poured your heart and your soul into your company for years, that ultimately means very little. The moment that your usefulness is over, most firms will replace you in a heartbeat these days.
When I learned that Disney was doing this, I was absolutely outraged. Talk about a company that is going down the toilet. The following comes from the New York Times…

FACEBOOK DOES HAVE VALUE
This is how to get fired from your job before it even starts.
A woman was fired from her job before it started because she wrote a Facebook post about hating her job.
Anybody hiring? (via CBS)
Kaitlyn Walls is a 27-year-old single mom living in The Colony, Texas, who was about to start a job at a local daycare. She made the unfortunate decision to share the following status on her public Facebook profile:
“I start my new job today but I absolutely hate working at daycares.”
As well as this follow up:
“Lol its all good I just really hate being around a lot of kids.”
Nooooooooooooo! Why would someone write that? Is this what people post on Facebook now? I stopped using Facebook when my mom joined (sorry Mom). Needless to say, the daycare company saw Walls’s posts and terminated her employment before it officially started.
Walls also received some pretty awful backlash on Facebook, including being called “dumb b**ch” and a strange accusation that she has the “bubonic plague.” Wow, I really don’t understand Facebook anymore.
Walls explains she was “venting” and said “I’m not going to post anything like it ever. No matter how I feel.” YES. I AGREE. PLEASE DO THIS.
Ok, let’s all say it together now, “I solemnly swear not to post anything incriminating on social media no matter how much I need the attention.”
I feel bad for this woman. Watch the news clip here.

AT LEAST HE WON’T HAVE THAT AWFUL COMMUTE
I guess that turnaround touted by the idiots that pass for Wall Street analysts isn’t going well. Poor Ron. I wonder whether his severance package was $3 million or $4 million for destroying a 100 year old retailer in 15 months. That lear jet commute from Palo Alto every Monday morning must have been a real bitch. His acumen in deciding not to move to Plano Texas proves how smart this douchebag really is. Maybe Apple will rehire him so he can work his magic in their Apple stores.
Next stop – Bankruptcy.
JCPenney CEO Is Out
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/08/2013 17:06 -0400
So much for the “transformation” CEO. As per CNBC, he “is out”:
- J.C. PENNEY TO OUST RON JOHNSON AS CEO: CNBC
- J.C. PENNEY’S CEO JOHNSON `IS OUT’: CNBC
At least he lasted just a bit longer than the former JCP president Mike Francis, who came, saw, collected $10 million, and quit nine months later.
Why the stock is soaring after hours on this latest admission of defeat is beyond us. If anything, this means JCP is closer to filing than ever as the last bastion of hope at the distressed retailer is now gone.
