Anyone who didn't want to attend would have to take an excused, but non-paid, absence.


On the face of it yes but often the reality is that the management team will consider these people do not fit the company's culture and will be on the skids on the way out the door. Many who attended will have been aware that the reality is that they had no option if they wanted to keep their job.

I could pay with the few thousand dollars from the Trump speech and would still need that mask.

you have to get back in touch with reality.
he's in the oval office.
its just cognitive dissonance to say he is an omega , by the definition of the political hierachy itself .

the dude is at the top of the dominance hierachy.

i could go to the CEO of macdonalds corporation and tell him my wife can cook a better meal and he's just a fraud.

doesnt matter.

the USA is a market driven society.
"the customer is always right".
the customer votes for big macs and big donald.

they are at the pinnacle.

now you can get mad at the american public and call them dumb and ignorant and fat and unhealthy.

but it may be better to try to build rapport and show them a better way.

but that requires a lot of work, a lot of discipline, a lot of effort, a lot of emotional mastery.


and the left just cant do it 
i think thats the key observation here.

the laziness of the left who just find it easier to throw their toys out of the pram and have a tantrum.

and THATS what makes THEM at the bottom of the hierachy

Could be the case aia

It's obvious that enormous numbers of people from the left hate trump with a passion.

When you truly truly deeply deeply hate someone the first place you should check is the mirror

Is my resentment and hatred due to jealousy
Is it hard for my ego to accept that this person has achieved something which I feel I I should have been able to achieve because I'm more talented than him

I truly believe this is the case

When people see someone who is or has something they would like and especially if that person does not appear to have any particular talon it really gets in deep

It really touches a nerve with mofos

That's incredibly confronting for someone to admit to themselves
Most people would never have the courage to do that

But if you're feeling resentment and you're feeling hate it's often a good idea to try and understand where that's coming from
It will probably take you to dark places
Places you don't want to go
Because it will rock and shake the very foundations of your identity

Does your sage advice apply to Trump himself, a man seemingly full of hate?

It's interesting you say that
Maybe I just see things differently
When I see someone like Rachel maddow
I see genuine hate and seething rage

When I see trump talking
I just see some dude his opening his mouth
The wind is blowing and his tongue is flapping and all sorts of garbage is coming out

I just see an unfiltered guy who really doesn't care much about much
I honestly don't think he's a hater
I think he's a bit of a stirrer
I think he loves the limelight
I think he's got a big ego
I think he loves to be the centre of attention
But I honestly don't think he hates
He's too busy dealing with all these other weird personality traits
