I worked for NASA at MSFC back around 2000 as a database programmer in the financial division. I designed and created a database system in MS Access that took monthly billings from all of the different NASA centers nationwide, ALL of which sent the data to MSFC in differing formats, and then automatically converted it into one common format, then automatically corrected errors in the data input. Lots of different report types were then created with a click of a button.
My database won a LOT of awards, including cash awards of $1,000 and more... all for the idiot woman one floor below me who took credit for it all, and who was constantly calling me to come down and show her how to do the simple stuff!!! Never once did I get any recognition for my hard work over 2+ years on the project, and despite the amazing salary, especially for someone who never graduated from college, I walked away from it in 2001. I hated the woman who kept taking all the credit for MY work, plus all of the constant meetings for bullshit stuff, up to and including why we weren't getting enough work done! Hint: It could be because we were always sitting in phuckin meetings!
"Massive bureaucracy with many layers of ego and self-importance" is an absolute understatement!!! This message has been edited. Last edited by: bronicabill,

I am sure they want nothing more than to restrict Trumps apperances with "the people" and then blame it on their own incompetence. And double sure they didn't want Trump at Corey Compentore's wake when Biden didn't want to go and was not even wanted there by the family. Bad optics; Trump being seen as welcome by the family and caring for people and Biden only cares about himself.
Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Exactly! Fucking bitch. Not being able to secure the area? Like the roof is too sloped? Unbelievable!

Trump could ask for volunteers to provide security at the wake and he'd have a more competent and devoted team than he had last Sat.

Sounds like a Sigforum get together...
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Nobody was held accountable for the 8,000,000+ fraudulent votes that put Biden in office. No arrests, no trials, etc. What's stopping Democrats from repeating the steal? What guarantees do we have that the election won't be stolen again? What options are available to Trump if (likely when) Biden is declared the "winner"?
