Then this dipshit said he wasn’t paying the bill, I mean tell me something we don’t already know…
He can make much more choices resulting in shit of epic proportions.
Like he would have anyway
every time something comes up in politics that i don't like i just imagine donald trump swaying catatonically to Ave Maria
We've seen him handle an actual emergency and it was strikingly similar. It's good to know he handles even small problems in the same dumbfounded way.
We're all completely screwed if this crisis generator gets back into office.
What no live music?! Wtf
This time his minders had an excuse prepared.
Weirdly plausible. It only works though if they did this to him on purpose to keep everyone from hearing him speak.
I already commented, but another thought came to mind: Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
That was hilarious...
“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”
He already wasn't gonna pay.
His nickname should be "Crime".
That story has been printed weekly since 1995. Who's he kidding?
Guy probably didn't even pay for the AC at that event where they were passing out from the heat.
This was my thought when I saw the clip originally
Lol I thought you made that quote up, so I had to check the article. He actually said that lol.
He probably hasn't been paying all along and is now down to the bottom rung of contractors.
Oh, that's insightful. I bet you're right. Would certainly explain some events.
That is correct.
I volunteer at a venue that offers a stage for bands and DJs starting out and looking for a first place to preform.
It has a capacity for an audience of 300. None of the people working there get paid.
We can't display "Complicated Business" on a big screen when a mic cuts out, but would have fixed that issue within a minute.
Unless the stage is mobile and outdoors, or in someone's living room, you set up an emergency backup amp, mixer, speakers and mics before the first guest enters the building.
Respectfully, as someone in the performing arts, how does no one get paid at a venue with a capacity of 300? A bar venue with a capacity of 30 I'd understand, 50-100 is pushing it. But 300? That's huge!
I'm doing a gig later in November at an amphitheater with a capacity of 200-300ish or so. The pay is $500 for 6-8 minutes on stage. I'm not even part of production, just a guest performer. The venue I most often perform at nets around $150 per person at capacity (max is 100)
Even if you only charged $10 for entry, that's a few thousand dollars. There's enough there to give people something for their work
OK that was misleading.
The artists, sound and light tech obviously get paid. DJs get around 50€ per set, bands 200€, technicians 70€ per night. No one who lives off their art performs there, except sometimes as a favor cause they like the place. It's very much a stage for hobby musicians. The money pays for their cost to get there and back, and they also get fresh-cooked food and a place to sleep.
The bar and door are staffed by volunteers who get free entrance and drinks, and the venue is managed by volunteer members, who get to hang out there whenever they like, at a very unique place.
Entrance fee is between 5€ for an 8 hour event with only DJs, to 8€ for a night with 3 bands and 2 DJs. A beer costs 1,50€, soft drinks 1€, long drinks 4€. We are very much running the place at cost, so everyone can afford to go there.
It only works out because of the massive amount of unpaid work done behind the scenes, lots of connections to professionals willing to help out for free cause they like the place, tax-exempt status, a special deal with the local brewery, and relatively cheap rent.
And the capacity is 300 for the main stage. Together with the second stage, outdoor stage and bonfire area (if the weather is good), we can let in 600 people.
Inb4 hang mic pence
So the guy who thinks he and he alone can fix the world, and that foreign leaders admire and fear him cannot (1) hire a campaign competent with the simplest contingencies, (2) cannot stick through any interview that asks him about things he did, let alone a hostile interview, (3) cannot find and maintain staffers nor cabinet members who won't betray him for being ignorant and unhinged.
I guess these are those "the best people" that we've heard mentioned so many times.
He ever said he wanted to fix anything? I thought he just wanted to be in power so he can grab more pussy.
