    I gotta tell you, I almost missed this link, and the article is pretty doggone brilliant.

    The reality of the current political climate is that saying the wrong thing, even years ago, can endanger not only your reputation, but also your career and any future prospects.  THAT’S the reason for the “deeply sorry” kinds of apologies.  You might “never work in this town again” when it comes to some industries.

    And that’s the reason they ring so hollow.

    The formula laid out in this article is probably the exact formula put together by some crisis communications consultant 10 years ago in response to the first major offenses in the current cancel culture.

    The funny thing about the people extracting these apologies is that they always focus on the lack of empathy of the “privileged” offending party.  In destroying livelihoods and careers they betray the ultimate lack of empathy.

    I was a way for a few days, and am so glad to hear Rocky seems to be on the road to recovery.  Please keep the updates coming for those of us who may not be in the network beyond this site.

    It’s all a farce at this point.  Pretty shocking that the prosecution would make such a move, but not overall surprising.

    Typical gangster BS.  They sent Harris down there to essentially stir up the populace and ensure Manchin falls in line.  At this point the Dems are just throwing out money to buy votes, and Harris’s move is more of the same.

    “All of those skilled workers who are in the coal industry and transferring those skills to what we need to do in terms of dealing with reclaiming abandoned land mines; what we need to do around plugging leaks from oil and gas wells; and, transferring those important skills to the work that has yet to be done that needs to get done,”

    Land mines?   SMH.

    “Transferring those skills.”   Yes, they are having their skills returned to the market from their current jobs.

    I’m not one to defend coal when it’s an uneconomic option, but coal mining has never been the great satan that you would think it is if you listened to the Dem rhetoric.

    [quote quote=4242]The Harris appearance in West Virginia confirms what has been obvious since the primaries, her shelf life is shorter than Joe’s. If Joe goes, so goes the democrats hold on power. And opposed to the farewell victory tour with a quick exit you offered, I think it’s as likely he’ll be Hoover part deux, and not entirely due to circumstances he’s created. Timing is everything.[/quote]

    Can you say more about the Harris appearance in West Virginia?  I’ve been off POTUS news lately.

    Correct re: Gabbard.

    also, one had to laugh this week at the re emergence of fauci. He had a great quote about how much freer he feels to say what he needs to say…

    …and then proceeded to say nothing new whatsoever.  His newfound freedom of speech was merely red meat for the dem base. Didn’t change a thing. Effing bureaucrat.

    Oh it’s even better. Just wait until the Dems walk back all the tough talk about “doing something” on COVID.

    Biden was caught in one of his few public comments this week saying there’s nothing we can do on the Covid trajectory.  Wonder if politifact has labeled that a lie yet. You bet it would have been for trump.

    Reminds me of a friend of mine who emigrated from Israel in the 1970s after fighting in one of the wars.   He’s a very successful businessman in southern California now (kinda fits the profile of former IDF officer who came to the U.S. and kicked ass).  He said that it was extremely confusing as an immigrant when he got here to ever think that anyone wouldn’t be a member of the party of “democracy.”

    “It’s right there in the name…Democrat…Democracy.”

    …took him a few years to figure it out, I think.  And he’s extremely bright.

    [quote quote=4195]“ For some reason, values of education, thrift, hard work, and family stability WHICH EXISTED IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN SPADES DURING THE EARLY 20th CENTURY” I love your sense of humor Archie…intended or not. (Can you work the kykes, the spics and the heebs into a post?) (This post speaks to my sense of humor? more than yours.)[/quote]

     

    Holy crap.  Unintended.  And, I knew I was treading on thin SJW ice with the post in any event.  To even speak of such things is to put one’s self at risk of being called a racist.
