I'm not a big Fiorina fan, but "career loser"? She may not have had the greatest run at HP, but you don't end up where she did as a "career loser". I'm going to go out on a limb and guess your resume doesn't exactly stack up to hers. Unless you consider former "friend" of Trump to be the pinnacle of achievement.

I wonder how your resume would stack up with mine in regard to college & business, no need to respond.

So here is my position on Fiorina & it's a long one. If any of the other candidates on either side moved
& lived next me me I'd try to be neighborly. Even if you moved closeby I'd deal with it afterall you
just seem silly not really an irritant. If Fiorina bought property next to me I'd move! I've been following
Fiorina since I lost a bunch on World Com way back, looked up Bernie Ebbers & found Fiorina name next
to his in 'Horrible Bosses: The Worst Tech CEOs Of All Time'


1) Fiorina Called the Outsourcing of American Jobs "Right Shoring."
"I know how to create jobs," And as for her knowing how to create jobs, that's largely true but only
if you are referring to job growth in China. And India. What she leaves out is that what she doesn't
know is how to build a company -- because under her watch, the value of HP stock plummeted 52%.
Before she was fired. Fiorina has a long track record of saying things that are cringeworthy. And getting fired.
As Head Of HP, Fiorina Undercut U.S. Foreign Policy of sanctions.

Forbes: Hewlett-Packard Exported Goods To Dubai To Open Up Markets In Iran. In the
April 12, 2004 issue a Forbes magazine story titled "Trading With The Enemy" reported.
Fiorina's pattern. Get whatever she can for herself, and everyone else be damned. But then,
what else can you expect from someone who cut 30,000 jobs and then takes a $42
million gold parachute for failing? The mystery of Carly's "achievements" was solved by many
other people years ago. Biggest asshole moment: Forced soon-to-be fired
employees to train their outsourced replacements.

2) When she was an advisor to the McCain presidential campaign, she embarrassed the candidate
twice and was dropped like a rock. Fiorina became later a talking point for Democrats" who focused on
Fiorina's severance package and her management style. Rothenberg concluded that Fiorina was
"like a dream come true" for Democratic opposition researchers.

3) Finally, November 2009, Fiorina formally announced her candidacy in the 2010 Senate.
Fiorina had contributed a total of US$6.5 million to her own race. Even more so than is usually
the case, the candidacy seemed to be all about the candidate. She yearned to silence forever all
of the naysaying about her stewardship of Hewlett-Packard, to be validated by voters.
Then she has the nerve to run for the senate.
So, Carly Fiorina's two big supposed credentials for being a U.S. Senator are that she was
1) a CEO and 2) an advisor to a presidential campaign. And she was fired from both.
In 2010 when the voters produced a Republican landslide Fiorina failed, and she failed big,

She had some nerve attempting a presidential bid!!!!!!!!!

Probably quite well, which would be kind of tragic considering you've probably had about 3 decades longer to work than I have.

I'm not sure that I'd consider Fiorina losing her 2010 senate race such a big failure. Odds kind of stacked against her, eh? I mean California last elected a Republican to the senate in 1988. She didn't exactly miss a layup there.

It's going to be pretty entertaining to watch you attempt to spin Trump getting curb-stomped by Hillary in 6 months.

'California last elected a Republican to the senate in 1988' As I said 2010 the Democrats were slaughtered in all
elections for Senate except when they had Fiorina as an opponent so I'll up you one. Scott Brown in 2010
became the first elected Senator in Massachusetts since Henry Cabot Lodge won his seat in 1947, that's 3 generations.

Two patients limp into two different doctors' offices with the same complaint . . . both have trouble walking and both may require hip surgery.
Patient 1 . . .
Is examined within a few minutes, is x-rayed shortly thereafter, and has a surgery appointment booked for the following week.
Patient 2 . . .
Sees his family doctor after waiting 3 weeks for an appointment, then waits 8 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another week, and finally has his surgery scheduled in another 6 months . . . pending the review board's decision on his age and his remaining value to society.
Why the different treatment for the 2 patients you ask . . .
The FIRST is a Golden Retriever taken to a Vet.
The SECOND is a Senior Citizen on ObamaCare.
In November, if there is no change in government . . . we'll all have to find a good Vet.

Co-host of ABC’s “The View” Whoopi Goldberg said that she is not moving to Canada if Donald Trump is elected president.


On Wednesday’s show, Goldberg said, “You know what, I’m not going anywhere, honey. This is my country. I’ve been here since the 1700s.”


I knew she looked old but not that old!


And WTF was Ted Danson thinking?

What an ass.


Obama…


“By every economic measure, we are better off now than we were when I took office. You wouldn’t know it, but we are.”


On Thursday the Commerce Department announced that the US economy expanded at the slowest pace in two years. GDP growth rose at an anemic 0.5% rate after a paltry 1.4% fourth quarter advance.


Obama will be the only president in history that did not deliver a single year of 3.0% growth rate.


Thank you Mr. President

Can you say pot/kettle?


Former Speaker John Boehner does not hold back when asked for his opinion of Sen. Ted Cruz.


During a conversation about politics at Stanford University, the former Republican Speaker described Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh.”


“I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life,” he said, according to The Stanford Daily.

Some Ann Coulter.


Now that Cruz has been mathematically eliminated, he's adding Carly Fiorina to the ticket. She's not his "running mate," but his "limping mate." It's an all-around lemon-eating contest.


Voters quickly moved on from Cruz and tried Kasich. But he turned out to be the spitting image of a homeless man. He's got the slouch, the facial tics, and a strange way of bouncing his head and looking around that makes you want to cross the street to avoid him. It looks like he cuts his own hair, and his suits are Ralph Nader cast-offs. He wolfs down food like a street person, has a hair-trigger temper, and rants about religion in a way that only he can understand.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said the weak economic growth shown in the first quarter Department of Commerce report is unacceptable and policy changes are necessary to get the economy back to where it should be during his weekly press conference Thursday.


Really? Go away boy, you bother me.

[h=1]The average Silicon Valley summer intern makes the equivalent of an $81,600 salary[/h]



  • Rodney Folz, a UC Berkeley student and soon-to-be Yelp intern, compiled a list of top internship offers for tech companies
  • He found that the median monthly based salary for an engineering-focused summer intern is $6,800
  • That's the equivalent of a $81,600 annual salary
  • Pinterest and Facebook were some of the companies with the highest offers, according to the anonymous survey

Feeling flush with cash thanks to payday?
Well prepare to be disappointed because your check is going to look pretty skimpy compared to what interns are getting paid in Silicon Valley.
A new report on internship pay shows that the median internship offer for an engineering-focused summer intern is about $6,800 a month.
In other words, if that intern were working a full year they would be bringing home a total of $81,600 annually.

A soon-to-be Yelp intern surveyed hundreds of fellow Silicon Valley companies and found that the average pay was about $6,800 month

In addition to monthly pay, some of the other companies offered housing and relocation benefits. Live-streaming company Twitch had the highest of this compensation




.
That's much higher than what most people make a year, according to the median national wage which equated to a little over $46,000 in 2014.

Folz (pictured) said he compiled the list to encourage other interns not to 'undervalue themselves'

The data was compiled by soon-to-be Yelp intern Rodney Folz, a student at the University of California Berkeley, who surveyed more than 500 of his peers to see what the different tech companies were paying their interns.
While 503 people responded to the survey anonymously, Folz only focused on the 18 companies which got the highest amount of responses, bringing down the total people involved in the survey to 298.
Pinterest and Facebook were the companies with the highest paid interns, according to the survey.
Pinterest reportedly pays their interns $9,000 a month for a summer of work, in addition to $1,000 for relocation and another $3,000 stipend for housing.
Twitch, a live-streaming platform, was in the middle of the list with about $7,400 a month. But they allegedly pay their interns $10,500 for housing for the summer as well.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Folz said that he created the survey to encourage young professionals entering the tech sector not to 'undervalue themselves'.
He says that the work interns do at these companies has the potential to make a lot of money and that interns shouldn't be afraid to negotiate their offers to reflect their value.
'I think the idea of being courted like this, being paid so much, being offered so much responsibility at a new job doing real things, is really exciting, especially when it's never happened to you before. They don’t want to ruin it by trying to ask for more,' Folz said.

1stProhibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
2ndProtects the right to keep and bear arms.

These Liberal/Democratic rioters personify what the Democratic Party is all about. Hypocrisy abounds in that party. They are against the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] amendment but also against the first amendment if the freedom is being expressed by another party. They are “interfering with the right to peaceably assemble” (Trump giving a speech) and go to extremes to create dangerous situations as a result. Jumping up and down on a cop car has nothing to do with Trump. That has everything to do with the kind of people that make up the Democratic party and support the rioters who break the first amendment right of Trump and those assembled to hear him speak.

Republicans do not support such actions from their followers. Many of these rioting protesters from the Democratic party are given financial incentives to do what they do. Yes, it comes from the top. I am not a Republican, I am an Independent, but I would never ever become a Democrat because I cannot support the aggressiveness of such riots as just occurred.

The right to keep and bear arms is bolstered by actions of such liberal/Democratic protester/rioters.
Why do they have to assemble in front of Republican meeting places? This says more about the Democratic party then does equal pay for women etc. Freedom of speech is one thing, interfering with freedom of speech is another. Such acts define the Democratic Party.
