My interpretation was that you believed his high school teammate should be insulted. If that's not what you meant, then I stand corrected. But why you brought it up is still a mystery.
You felt a negative perspective needed to be added about a collegiate athlete who called his Clemson teammates a family? That was kind of my point. You really have to be looking for an argument to do that.
Sedition Stefanik has only self interest in mind. Miss a Harvard is not stupid, she knows that the diabolical sociopathic narcissist is a shallow being who puts more emphasis on appearance and has very little regard for the content of one’s character. In Elise’s case this won’t be an issue because there is no moral compass . 45 will no doubt considers this be an asset. . She is doing whatever is needed to expedite her goal but knows competing with the spelt blue eyed blondes types that Trump drools over is a monumental task. She probably thinks a makeover will at least give her a fighting chance for the VP prize. I would be very surprised if all these efforts will enable her to obtain the brass ring. The guy is too shallow to place her in the running. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn’t change a thing.
My daughter and SIL booked a room at Mirror Lake Inn, Lk Placid for the eclipse. We joined them to watch and for dinner. We had a good view of planes flying in and out for the eclipse.
A friend who’s a flight instructor booked a lesson for a young student who’s a science nut to fly into LP to view the eclipse. They made reservations at the airport weeks in advance but were bumped to Lake Clear where he said about 100 planes flew in for the show. My guess is that they were bumped to allow the billionaires and lesser hundred millionaires to fly into LP.
April is normally mud season in LP and much of the town shuts down. Someone noted that some accommodations didn’t open. I suspect that was because there aren’t enough workers, that the foreign workers are scheduled to arrive in May or June.
We had a good meal after the eclipse and we had seen the kitchen staff out watching the eclipse during totality. They enjoyed it. Many seemed like locals but they probably can’t afford to live in the $10 million homes that ring Mirror Lake, or the million dollar homes out in the woods.
In California fast-food workers just got a raise in minimum wage from $16 to $20 per hour. Conservatives around the country are going out of their minds that workers would get paid that much. Franchise owners are threatening big price increases and layoffs - as they always do when minimum wage increases. They threaten that the economy will shut down, but every single time minimum wage has gone up in the last few years the economy has remained robust and large corporations as a whole have made higher profits.
A couple of years ago Stewart’s in Long Lake was advertising jobs at $18 per hour to start, so $20 for a worker in San Francisco doesn’t seem out of the question to me. I find it unlikely that the extra $30 or $40/ hour in operating expenses is really that much of a hardship for a McDonalds or Chipotle in Santa Barbara. What does that amount to? An extra 12¢ per meal? Less? But collectively it might make the difference between buying a jet and flying to Lake Placid for the eclipse or not.
It was nearly impossible to pick a side in the DeSantis vs. Disney kerfuffle. If only there was a way for both to lose. It’s nice that the filmmaker is speaking out. She’s not giving up the inheritance tho, I guess.
I’m disappointed you didn’t include the pics of the “new, improved” Elise Stefanik. After watching Trump try to have Mike Pence hanged with qualms at all, I wish her all the luck getting the job. I love the pure arrogance of her thinking that she’s going to be the one who rides the tiger and lives to tell the tale. That Harvard education must come with a big dose of hubris.
An object lesson in how Trump sycophancy works out is what lickspittle Lindsey Graham is going through now for offering a little mild critique of Dear Leader’s abortion comments.
Sorry that was not clear. The film shows her family's home movies of Disney in the early days (It opened in 1955). I did not mean to imply she was there for the 1955 opening, but since she is the youngest in her family, I suspect her siblings might have been there. Either way, it does not impact the message that workers did better then than now.
She is a bit too heavy for Trump. Plain and simple, he has a "type" for sure, and Elise ain't it. She looks way too wholesome for the viper to cast his gaze on. Even as she tries to look a bit more seductive...I can't believe I'm commenting on her looks, what have I become....
A new haircut and make-up won’t change anything. Trump goes for beautiful and porn material. He wants to have a beautiful woman standing next to him hoping every man in America envies him. Stefanik isn’t that. I’m not trying to put an emphasis on looks, just draw attention to Trump’s shallowness.
Thanks for the perceptive Disney piece, and the insights into corporate greed In spite of the “the Wolf on Wall Street” creed that “greed is good,” It is not! It is evil! It is dehumanizing , and destructive, whether it be corporate or personal.
Experiencing the eclipse was awesome. I liked the comment of Dr. Nye “The Science Guy” when he was asked about the importance of the phenomenon. He said, in effect, it increases our understanding of the cosmos AND our place in it. The latter led me to a fresh reading of and reflection on Psalm 8.
I am not concerned about the looks of Elise as I am about how her brain is functioning. She may have a "new and improved look", but has she changed any of her horrendous tactics?

Look in the mirror.
Why does the term streetwalker come to mind.
Yep!
Oh my!
Did the lying seditious traitor get a sash to go with her pageant outfit?
Lipstick on a pig.
If her fake eyelashes get any longer they'll cast a shadow on her face.

Well said.
Ha! My husband said it had been photoshopped!
The eclipse or the makeover?

Sorry about no photos. Always have to worry about copyright infringement.
Can’t be too careful. I didn’t realize about that. I’m sure we’ll all see the New Look soon enough.
Something amiss. How can Abigail Disney recall the opening of Disney in 1955 when she is only 64 years old?
Sorry that was not clear. The film shows her family's home movies of Disney in the early days (It opened in 1955). I did not mean to imply she was there for the 1955 opening, but since she is the youngest in her family, I suspect her siblings might have been there.

Thanks for the clarity. Agreed, the point remains the same.

I'm waiting to see her go blonde

I suppose if she is changing her looks for political gain, then that is further insight into how her brain is operating.
Despite the Stefanik redo, same pathetic mind.
Makeover
