What a TOTAL SHOCK. Trump's W.H. "Tech Summit" degenrated into another Kiss Dear Leader's Ring slop-fest.

Pretty sure I didn't need the "sarcasm smiley" for my "total shock" remark.

Such groveling from these clowns is an international embarrassment.

4. Everyone we used to respect are revealed as morally degenerate cowards and traitors.

Congress, courts, judges, university officials, corporations, billionaires, military, etc etc.

Most disgusting sight I have ever seen in my life.

7. I had 3 separate 6-month contract assignments at Apple during the Scully years

Morale was in...the...BASEMENT. No one can EVER over-state what the return of Steve Jobs did to prevent Apple from swirling down the commode. Things were OK on assignment #1. By the end of assignment #3, I sat in a meeting in which a VP said Apple had tapped out every bank they dealt with, and there was a real chance of going under.

Then it all changed. I was long gone by then. Apple never meant to me what it did to a lot of their full-time employees, but I never thought it would become a kneeling and groveling monument to Trump.

I feel the underwhelm too. A staggering disappointment as the tsunami of peak Peter Principle and failing upwards because of who someone is rather than their achievements wash over us.

Dissent is dead. Smothered with a pillow.

All of that praise directed toward the most undeserving.

11. Evil has taken over our country. Vicious, ruthless psychopaths are in charge.

Yes evil is rewarded. Goodness is punished and destroyed.

Greatest moral collapse in US history.

6. I used to think CEOs of companies that big and that successful would have more self-respect.

Apparently they don’t. Must have a lot of anger and resentment eating them up inside, though.

...Trump had him in the crosshairs, and that boy literally scampered out to Mar-a-Lago with $1 million in hand.

Then there's Bezos destroying the WaPo's reputation in order to make it more pleasing to Dear Leader.

They're all living in the moment, as if this moment is going to last forever.
