You’d think he’d be ashamed to be so terrified of a girl.

There’s so much to unpack here. You have the Deputy Press Secretary making a statement that nobody asked for Pence is totally not anti gay. And for evidence he points out that Pence had a meal with the PM of the country he was in - who so happened to be gay. Like he was supposed to just tell him to fuck off or something.

I guess what do we make of Trump’s meetings with various fascist and authoritarian dictators based on this logic?

My ideal answer for almost all of those would be something along the lines of, “I’ll do some introspection on that and get back to you.” I guess some people just go around memorizing those questions and canned answers to them?

The person who I know who wrote a book on resumes says pretty much no one reads the cover letters. They take about 7 seconds to skim a resume. I kinda do a form cover just do it’s there.

I can remember getting 2 cover letters over the last 4 years of hiring people. And neither made any difference.

Speculating here, but perhaps they were of more use when you didn’t tweak a resume for practically every job (or type of job) you’re applying for.

I know when I first entered the workforce, you had your One True Resume™ and then you cover letter explained why YOU were the right candidate for Position X.

But, then, everything about what I was taught in “How to be a slavewage 101” seemed dated at the time as well.

I realize this has been posted elsewhere, but it needs to be here too. This the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Not even the Onion on their best day could come up with something so profoundly stupid.

But a thought occurs to me. Why should we waste time searching for ways to give Trump partial credit?

The obvious question for Trump is: so, what you’re saying is, you don’t care at all about Florida or Georgia?
