#1  No mention of the charges against Paxton. Breitbart, you call that journalism?
Posted by: Slavitch Johnson7042 || 05/28/2023 11:31 Comments || Top||

#2  ^ I have seen the same lack of information in a number of articles. Most annoying for anyone trying to understand what is going on. Never mind the classic Who/What/When/Where/Why - it's all about the feelz!

#3  Complicated. He's long been dodging some old claims of malfeasance. In October 2020, seven of Paxton's top aides accused Paxton of improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other crimes. Then there was a lawsuit by the whistleblowers, and a $3.3 million settlement. Paxton asked the Legislature for more money to pay the settlement.

That was not well received. But there were 20 articles in the impeachment - see Wikipedia.

He was on the non-progressive side of several issues, as well, including being too cozy with TheOrangeManBad.

San Francisco Old Navy to become latest store to shut down in crime-ridden city
[NYPOST] An Old Navy store that has been in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
for three decades is slated to shutter this summer — adding to the growing list of retailers closing down throughout the crime-plagued city.

The Market Street location — located just three miles away from its corporate headquarters — will shut down July 1 once its lease expires, according to a company statement.

"Old Navy is always evaluating its real estate portfolio to ensure a healthy fleet of stores that can provide the best possible experience for our customers," said Gap Inc., which owns a number of retailers including Gap, Banana Republic and Athleta.
"Humina humina humina"
The company said that "the way we leverage flagship locations has changed" since it opened the Market Street location in the 1990s, but is working to find a new location in downtown San Francisco to replace the empty storefront.

The Old Navy closure comes just weeks after Gap. Inc revealed it would slash 1,800 jobs across the country as part of a cost-cutting reorganization.

#1  This is different. The press release doesn’t mention the fact that only thrives are visiting this store. This is about leveraging incoherent business platitudes.
Posted by: Super Hose || 05/28/2023 7:38 Comments || Top||

#2  Screw 'em. Old Navy is owned by Gap, Inc., and Gap (HQ in San Fran) amazingly has a CEI score of 100.

#3  I do love their HQ having to suffer the consequences of their corp policies. Sympathy level = ZERO

#1  six hours of testimony

we'll see what the coverage is tomorrow - how long the WaPo, NYTimes, NBC, etc. can bottle it up

#2  alifornia Attorney General Kamala Harris had evidence in her hands that she could have used to bring former PUC President Michael Peevey, architect of the secret San Onofre deal, to justice. And she had plenty of time, three years, to file criminal charges before the statute of limitations ran out on obstruction of justice--the easiest charge to prove.

#3  It will be funny when the media starts to slander the whistleblowers. It will mean that they can’t ignore the story any longer.

#4  "Republicans Pounce!" "It's all political!" and all of this in a 30 second clip...

Government Corruption
'You need a safe harbor - I can work with your father alone!' The telling text Jim Biden sent to nephew Hunter suggests Joe WAS in on their business plans after scathing article appeared linking connection to corrupt Chinese energy deal

#1  To my understanding Jim was an Epstein pal and owns some unimproved real estate in the vicinity of Epstein Island. You would think that he would need a safe harbor.

#2  #1 Check out what Jim pulled in Costa Rica.
