ffs, can noone tell me what’s happening in the second picture without spinning into a foxnews anchor rabbit hole?

I have no idea, but I’m very curious. What am I missing?

Yeah I cant get it either

There isn’t one that exists. Someone will pretend they fit the box, though. Closest to fitting the description is probably Tulsi Gabbard.

It’s a real tough needle to thread. We need someone who thinks that all democrats are lazy, feckless, godless, entitled, traitors, but not that they rape, kill, and eat children.

The Gospel of Donald Trump Jr.

Jesus, what have you done for me lately? It’s time you start pulling your weight or we’re going to have to let you go.

Nah, they’ll find Lincoln Project style guys that will just fake it to get on TV.

This could go in a number of different threads.

So bleak:

1:6.5 is an insane fucking ratio.

How is that even possible?

Guessing that includes music FM right?

Someone on Reddit (poorly) did the math on “Let’s Go Brandon” guy’s family business’s PPP loan

The amount of a PPP loan is approximately equal to 2.5 times the applicant’s average monthly payroll costs. In some cases, an applicant may receive a second draw typically equal to the first. The loan proceeds may be used to cover payroll costs, rent, interest, and utilities. The loan may be partially or fully forgiven if the business keeps its employee counts and employee wages stable.

PPP was $440k

Based on this information, 5 employees would equal payroll costs of $88k/$176k per month depending on if they took 1 or 2 loans. At 40 hours a week x 4, this is $110/$220 per hour per employee. An hourly rate of $110.00 equates to a weekly pay of $4,400, monthly pay of $19,067, and an annual salary of $228,800. (source) Oregon’s average salary for an electrician is $70k/year (2019). So the employees are making 3.3x or 6.6x the average salary.

If we say that 4 employees are making $70k a year ($5,830 per month x 4 = $23.3k) and the rest goes to the father/owner, then he would be making $416k per month or $4.9m per year or $2,600 per hour. (If 2 loans taken, then it is $347k per month / $4.2m per year / $2,170 per hour)

TL;DR: I have too much time on my hands.

There’s some information in the Wikipedia article here:

List of most-listened-to radio programs

It seems like tons of people like to listen to conservative talk radio on the way into work and on the way home. I’m sure they’re a delight to work with. They probably arrive at work stewing with righteous conservative anger and spend the drive home hearing about how all the bad things that happened to them that day were caused by Globalists. In case anyone was wondering where an ethnofascist uprising comes from, this is a big part of it.

Having worked on the PPP application for my former company, this is not how it would have worked. The PPP limited salary claims to $100k annual salary. If any employee made more than that, you could only claim the $100k (or $8.3k per month).

Maybe they gamed the system in a different way, if they did. Certainly the math doesn’t add up for a company of 5 people. Our company got $200k twice on two PPPs, and we had 9 full time employees and I think only one making less than $75k.

Yeah seems more likely they just claimed everybody made ~$17k per month.

Is he saying abortion “policies” were different under Donald Trump? If anything, it looks like abortion has gotten much stricter (in Texas anyway) and could go away altogether under Joe Biden.

[Trolly]

Looks like his wife conveniently jumped ship at just the right time.

Also guys, let me help with your “we got him” flowchart.
