You got some payroll, there, Josh.

No African-Americans on your staff?

Not surprised.

Did you ask TPM if any had applied and were turned down? Did you ask if that was the entire staff? I doubt it and I’m not surprised you would make such a chicken shit comment. I contributed 100 bucks. What are you going to do? Drink for free?

You’re quite the observant dude. Do you always just look at the pictures…even if they’re black and white? Cristina Cabrera…what race does that sound like? Scandinavian? Summer Concepcion? French?

And let’s not forget Josh Kovensky, who is an immigrant from Kyiv. So far, we’ve identified 1/4 of his employees are either people of color or immigrants, and I don’t even know the background on most of the others.

Truly a ridiculous comment…

Picture was taken years ago.

Most of those people are now receiving their Social Security checks.

Back in the 80’s I ran several “tombstone” ads in the LA Times to fill positions.
I never got had one AA apply. I had women, men, but no Hispanics, and no AA’s.
Why? I have no idea.

I have no staff.

Maybe I’m whistling by the graveyard, but I think we’ve got a better chance than ever of him resigning. Why? He jumped the shark last few days. And, as it looks more and more that he will not be re-elected, he runs the risk of criminal prosecution if he runs and loses. If he quits, Pence can pardon him for federal crimes. Yes, he can be prosecuted for state crimes afterwards, but overall he will face fewer charges by resigning and getting pardoned now.

And your point? One has to have applicants. I had one AA on my staff. He quit for family reasons and moved to Boston.

Either there was no point – or you can think about it.

I’m easy.

That picture makes Josh look like he has two heads. Is TPM doing a remake of The Thing With Two Heads?
