@atrupar I think he is confusing Tom Emmer with “90 percent of the public.” He and his untrained army are reveling in intentionally inflicting trauma.

@JamesTate121 Semper Fi.

@CMDROpAtLargeCA @RubenGallego And don’t be coy. You are not any member of the general public and you knew and know exactly what you’re doing while you taunt and terrorize those of us who live here. It shows a deep lack of respect when you come into our community. Show some integrity to your fellow Americans.

@GreatClips: “Free haircuts for Veterans on Veterans Day!”

Call to schedule appointment. “We are super busy. Call back tomorrow.”

Call back. “That was only yesterday.”

It’s like those signs in the bar that say “Free beer tomorrow.”

@alfranken Those who carried out the orders are (a) following unlawful orders; (b) violating their own oaths to uphold constitutional law. You know he did not look up an obscure 1700s law himself. The threat is not the president himself; it is his followers who are carrying his orders out.

@SecretaryPete 🤞Hold them to it. If I have learned anything from this last airline meltdown, it’s that they will tell you (the government) that they are awesome at taking care of their customers until you stop watching them. Then they go back to their cheapskate predatory practices AQAP.

@Ask_WellsFargo I appreciate your reply here but the point I’m making is I honestly don’t believe people in charge actually realize how awful and exhausting and revolting the experience is, every time, because if they did actually experience it for themselves, they would fix it.

[Troy Melhus @MelhusPlace]

@Ask_WellsFargo At this point you’ve missed the point. I’ve been disconnected three times (just today) and then directed from a call center that communicates poorly, to go to a branch in person to deal with a technical issue on your malfunctioning technology/website, all to just make a payment.

Our current state of entitlement.

@HansDelbruck1 @ColoradoDOT I could not find that on the app, but seeing the “anticipate opening at 5 pm” in your reply is exactly just the kind of communication — as in any — I was looking for. Thanks @HansDelbruck1!!

@tokenwon @jorgss17 @ColoradoDOT Not in #Vail. We are in the dark here about what is happening here.

[Troy Melhus @MelhusPlace]

@tokenwon @ColoradoDOT @ColoradoDOT just posted #I70 East is open again just now, yes. Any information now about the Vail pass would be greatly appreciated.

[Troy Melhus @MelhusPlace]

@ColoradoDOT At least an ETA?

[Troy Melhus @MelhusPlace]

@ColoradoDOT Seriously @ColoradoDOT — no updates at all? Please give some details why this is not cleared or open yet?

[Troy Melhus @MelhusPlace]

@dhstatus Stuff happens, but the lack of support and communication now is as frustrating, if not more frustrating, than the actual outage.

@StephenKing “The problem is the human heart,” he says. True in a manner of speaking: this tyrannical minority doesn’t have the heart to stop handheld weapons of mass destruction from destroying thousands of lives every single day. The problem is indeed the human heart—their lack of one.

@hulu_support @hulu Thank you. The ads are frankly more graphic than almost any content you stream, regardless of rating, with the barrage bordering on pornographic. It’s rendering your service unwatchable, even with parental supervision.

[Troy Melhus @MelhusPlace]

@jayrosen_nyu For me his tell came in the anecdote of early in his wrestling exploits when he went cheap and was willing to permanently maim his own teammate’s knee to win a “bet.”

Winning without principles just shows you don’t have principles.

Today’s grammarian PSA, in case you weren’t paying attention to ALL the packaging in the grocery stores(!) it’s like the Mandela Effect — they knew this all along?!?
