Make Business Meetings Great Again

how many qanon theories are out there now? dozens? more? my panican buddy keeps sending me links to grifter accounts who report bombshell after bombshell about how Potus is compromised by various groups and the cabinet is either utter buffoons or utter evil traitor geniuses.

@WardoftheStates Trump casually drops 2-3 iconic photos that could comfortably sit in a history book per week. It's unbelievable. No wonder he's driven the Left completely insane.

I view the British Empire as our ancestors who deserve our respect and gratitude... and a rebuke or call to correction when they stray from what made our family great.

@archi_tradition overcrowded by tourists and thousands of north africans demanding you buy bracelets on every street.

You’re not depressed. You’re just not in Florence.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Maybe she meant Beatrice? The rivers on fire thing happened because of them, in the 1998 movie.

AOC says "rivers were on fire" because of corporations like Deloitte "pouring chemicals" into waterways. Deloitte is an accounting, consulting, and tax services firm. No idea what she's talking about.

I realize I’m lib posting here but I’m a single issue public land zealot so please oblige me. And before you go bashing the NPS for losing its way under Biden, trust me, I know. But Socha was a terrible pick. His concessionaire company trademarked iconic names central to American conservation heritage (eg Ahwahnee and they even claimed “Yosemite National Park”) so when they lost their contract to another concessionaire they sued us, the taxpayer, for $50 m and ultimately settled for $12 m. So he pushed a business model where his concessionaire company claims ownership over historic, significant cultural artifacts (Ahwahnee was built in the 1920s, his company took over concessions in the 1990s). This was absolutely a shakedown and it completely conflicts with the mission of the National Park Service. It’s treating his contract to serve pizzas like a casino and the taxpayer pays put at the end of the night. The Ahwahnee is absolutely essential to the story of American conservation heritage. The first Director of the NPS Stephen Mather had the Ahwahnee built to bring more visitors to NPS properties to attract more popular support for American parks. It’s a perfect example of a uniquely American style of architecture: National Parks Rustic. This is also known as Parkitecture and it’s mimicked all over the world. These animals also tried to trademark Camp Curry/Curry Village, the camp that Jellystone and other popular depictions of outdoor life in America are based on, it’s been in operation for 125 years! It’s the beating heart of American democratic access to the most beautiful places on earth. These two places embody why people come from all over the country to see American National Parks. We have high quality, budget friendly or high end, nature based accommodations specifically set up to make people love the parks. It’s your heritage and your story to pass to your children and the fact that this man’s claim to fame is trademarking this stuff and suing US taxpayers for a ransom is appalling. Do we have to strip mine everything? Can we get a public land person in this role please before I commit myself to the loony bin?

@RodeoProfessor I did not know any of this. Good info. what a scumbag

What a time to be alive.

@NRCC Which Hakeem Jeffries is this? The failed rapper Hakeem Jeffries or the failed nba point guard Hakeem Jeffries?

Moments Ago: A visibly agitated Hakeem Jeffries says “I stand by” calling for “maximum warfare” against Republicans. “You can continue to criticize me for it, I don’t give a damn about your criticism!” Unhinged.

Today, 150 years ago, Nicola Romeo was born - the Neapolitan engineer who contributed to the success of the Biscione. A visionary leader who turned an emerging company into an enduring symbol of performance, innovation, and passion. #AlfaRomeo

.@POTUS: "Honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence — but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or Constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts: moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea."

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS It is important for us as Americans to remember, that we are carrying the torch of a great western tradition. A great culture, a flame we must not let burn out.

I have a short visit to eastern europe this summer and have time to hit one other spot in Italy before we come home. How do you choose just 1 city in Italy? impossibile!

@BenSasse @Mike_Pence extraordinary humor. I'm in awe.

i can still live another 50 years if @Mike_Pence has the courage
