OT just told someone what scrapple is. It is defined as food dish as:
"Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other trimmings, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head)"
It is as yummy as epicac. I dated a girl from Harrisburg PA that loved it. Each time she ate it I refused to kiss her for 48hrs.
OT: AP: "The Trump administration this week quietly released an update to a major survey on civil rights in schools that was scrubbed of all data related to nonbinary students or bullying based on gender identity."
"Maria Bartiromo is disputing reports that she was terminated from her longtime gig as a host of various segments for cable TV networks Fox News and Fox Business.
“The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false,” her attorney said in a Friday statement. “Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise. Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth.”
A Fox News representative didn’t immediately respond to comment on Friday about Bartiromo’s statement."
They might do that, to keep her under her NDA and non-compete. They'd have to keep paying her at least something, maintain her benefits.
Depends on what's buried in the fine print.
My daughter works in TV news, for a local station. Her Producer contract, for a 26 year-old kid nobody has ever heard of, is about 50 pages long and has some incredibly intrusive clauses. Standard in the biz.
My daughter is in Minnesota, which just outlawed them. Her contract does contain one. It may just be academic but it may not be. Plus, a station hiring her would know about it and take that into consideration, whether officially or not.
It's a weird business, very archaic in many ways but with all the value of a TV station being public perception, there are reasons it's the way it is.
So, there is this barn, and the sign says Grim and there is a cat in the rafters and a horses ass in the sunshine and the cat jumps down onto the horses ass and stretches out and takes a sunbath.
LOL this is what happens when you are professionally credulous for $$$ but are doing it for the benefit of a 34x felonious conman sex predator. You get a specially made bus undercarriage just for you!
Ah well this lady is going to have plenty of money to kick back and relax on. She offered all the "Things I wish I were true" codswallop to purposefully credulous cultists drunk on sadopopulism. I'm sure she'll land on her feet somewhere else in the rightwing media human centipede. And ultimately if not, she can always go back home to bottles of whisky.
My three-year-old was watching CNN when she turned to me gravely and asked “Daddy, why does the funny-looking man with the beard and the eyeliner hate the Pope so much?” And when I told her “Because the Pope is a woke beta cuck,” she started crying.
A wild ferment pizza place in Rochester’s deep blue Browncroft neighborhood might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But over the dance-punk sounds of LCD Soundsystem, you can hear whispers that DEI is the reason the charred rapini is $8.
Who could have guessed? Donald Trump’s family is cashing in on yet another one of his moves as president, this time his wildly unpopular push to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America.
The Trump Organization is now selling “Lake America” hats for the low, low price of $55 a pop.
"Touting Friday's blowout jobs number, President Trump used the opportunity to weigh in on a new spike in the US trade deficit, threatening embargoes on unfavored countries.
Trump posted on Truth Social, in what appeared to be a directive to the Federal Reserve, to "LOWER THE RATE OR I'LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT."
Like asylum, this idiot doesn't understand what a trade deficit means. But fortunately for him as he's not a Democrat, he's not responsible to know anything about ANYTHING.
So, here's a thing: "The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," her lawyer stated.
If the lawyer just said 'she wasn't fired,' it might just mean her contract wasn't renewed. They want it made clear that they insist she's still a Fox News employee.
As per my comment earlier, I think Fox's lawyers are running this.
The 90 days off air smells like a contract clause being run out. Like they might have to pay her for those three months, but after that she might still be "on the books" but they can rename her shows and not pay her because she's not got a show any more.

Maybe Mike Lindell will help her legal team find evidence her job was stolen.
She’s going to sue Fox? Like her boy Trump would do? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She may still be under contract.
They might do that, to keep her under her NDA and non-compete. They'd have to keep paying her at least something, maintain her benefits.

Another reason I’m glad I never worked in TV.

I thought she did good at CNBC. Too many talking haircuts and Cramer there. Too bad what she really turned out to be.

They deserve nothing less.

Anyone who buys one of those is probably gullible enough to buy an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt that has an arrow pointing up.
We should sell them.....
Considering who would buy one, and the near-zero collector value, I say let wm buy as many as they want.
That is fucking highway robbery.
This entire regime is a psychopathic shit show that's becoming progressively more expensive and a helluva lot more dangerous.
The government has become their family grifting mechanism.
I will say, if anyone gives this fucking conman any money, they get what they get!
History repeatedly and damned grimly details that such arrangements do NOT end well.
So . . . not because she refused to go blonde and she aged out? Progress!
If they were going to let her go just for that, they'd have done it a couple of years ago.
But that still played a role.

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/article/trump-threatens-to-stop-trading-with-countries-that-have-a-trade-deficit-unless-the-fed-cuts-rates-150838488.html
"Touting Friday's blowout jobs number, President Trump used the opportunity to weigh in on a new spike in the US trade deficit, threatening embargoes on unfavored countries.
Trump posted on Truth Social, in what appeared to be a directive to the Federal Reserve, to "LOWER THE RATE OR I'LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT."
The trade deficit grew BECAUSE TARIFFS MADE AMERICAN PRODUCTS LESS COMPETITIVE BY PRICE IN THE WORLD MARKET.
He’s making tariff threats to the Fed? Okay.
What’s next, screaming at the Fed if Iran doesn’t open the Strait?
LET ME PLAY OR I'M TAKING MY BALL HOME!
Not blowout jobs numbers by any measure of recent years. Also the numbers come from TFG's sycophants.
Like asylum, this idiot doesn't understand what a trade deficit means. But fortunately for him as he's not a Democrat, he's not responsible to know anything about ANYTHING.
You could do us no greater favour at this point in time.
Love,
Canada
editor's note-
it's a blowjob numbers report.
What blowout jobs number are we even talking about?
Whatever the frayed wires left in cranium shorted together. The numbers may as well be eleventyflurble and twosixtynoonan.
No idea, but the media is running with that description.
It's half the average number Biden was doing.
even Bloomberg is being uncharacteristically stupid about this.
Americans are trained to not have any long-term memory. So a jobs report that's better than the last couple of months is all they need, I guess.
It's how propaganda works: repeat ad nauseam the point you want to make until an alternative reality sets in.
The markets in general is mehing this off.

Still not sure where you're getting 90 days, but otherwise it makes sense.
The weird and obtuse generated by Faux never ceases.
She’s a total professional *what* though? I cannot comment, except to speculate that the brainworm may be spreading.
Useful idiot.
How much does it pay to be a professional idiot? Because I think I could do that job perfectly.
