Let's see... what else what else...
Okay, Kellyanne Conway gave a free commercial for Ivanka's brand. She literally said that was what she was doing while she was doing it. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/201...table.html Probably illegal. Sad.
Trump may not know how stairs work. http://jezebel.com/donald-trump-can-abso...1791749860
Trump accidentally put Steve Bannon on the national security council. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/201...eport.html
No idea how involved Trump was in this, but a recent operation ended pretty badly. http://www.latimes.com/politics/washingt...story.html Trump doesn't seem to have any condolences for those who died in this thing. All this time, I had hoped at LEAST Trump might value the sanctity of human life, but I guess he got one too many "you are a TRUMP, we are BETTER than the common rabble" speeches growing up, because he doesn't appear to care.
I've got a friend who grew up in a rich family. Apparently yes, "lessons" like that really ARE common place. They teach special manners most people never heard of too. Frankly when my friend talks about that upbringing, it is always fascinating and kinda horrifying. I had always assumed that sort of thinking was limited to cartoon villains. Next I'm going to find out that real life Greedly from Captain Planet exists, someone who actually loves smog and wants more of it.
Oh right, Ayn Rand is a literal cartoon caricature of an evil tycoon.
Lovely...

Quote:Mr. Mowen looked at the skyline, at the belts, the wheels, the smoke – the smoke that settled heavily, peacefully across the evening air, stretching in a long haze all the way to the city of New York somewhere beyond the sunset – and he felt reassured by the thought of New York in its ring of sacred fires, the ring of smokestacks, gas tanks, cranes and high tension lines. [p.255]

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
