6 figures?! 🧐🤬

lovethispost.bsky.social•82 days ago

But his mamma says he’s a good boy?

jocon1234.bsky.social•82 days ago

What was that about “Draining the swamp?”

arrivalrate.bsky.social•81 days ago

The rest of us would simply have been fired.

shamrockchickens.bsky.social•82 days ago

Maybe he can run Trump's cancer charity instead

maximillianquinn.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's awesome when a non-prof can pay out six-figure severance packages....

artimusdragon.bsky.social•82 days ago

I'm glad to see that there are still some large media companies not falling in line to a conman turned president like trump. What is this lame duck fear that they have of this aged out clown?

chrisgalea.bsky.social•82 days ago

Something is very wrong when you get a six figure payout for basically getting fired

huh-nope.bsky.social•82 days ago

See "NRA" for example. 6 figures for silence.
CAN'T have donors knowing management are suckers.

chrisgalea.bsky.social•82 days ago

Good point

huh-nope.bsky.social•82 days ago

IF we all thought of everything, there'd be no reason for SM.😆

sholahoon.bsky.social•82 days ago

This only makes him more desirable to republicans

5miriam9.bsky.social•82 days ago

Why is this guy still the nominee?

mainemomma.bsky.social•82 days ago

Is this a strategy to put forth loons for these positions, then once all the dirt comes out install a lesser known evil person that no one has heard of? Just to exhaust us all?

pj-who.bsky.social•82 days ago

I've been wondering that, too. It's not a bad strategy--like announcing broccoli and sardines for supper and then "caving" to everyone's outrage by fixing a big salad.

katiewhittemore22.bsky.social•82 days ago

This is not a bad trait to MAGA! They are cheering him on. THIS is who they are. We need to start educating our children to be critical thinkers, to be kind, to volunteer in their communities and a civics class needs to be taught every year. We are raising hate filled morons.

goldpup.bsky.social•81 days ago

Just another check mark ✔️ on the background form

huh-nope.bsky.social•82 days ago

I LOVE the 'you can't tell ANYONE how badly you ****ed us over' NDA's the best.
Proves Americans STILL have some pride & self respect.

lovers51.bsky.social•82 days ago

The fact that Concerned Veterans of America kept a six-figure severance payment and NDA quiet speaks volumes. It's clear they're more concerned with protecting their reputation than transparency and accountability.

jlbenner.bsky.social•82 days ago

Imagine getting fired for breaking the law and instead of jail you get even more money? I can't imagine it, I'm poor.

elaineavila605.bsky.social•82 days ago

That's troubling. It's unacceptable for an organization to pay a large sum to a prominent figure accused of financial mismanagement, intoxication, and sexual impropriety, then require a non-disclosure agreement. Transparency is crucial, especially in non-profit organizations.

sweet-lou.bsky.social•81 days ago

Oh My 😱🍸🍸🍸🍸
🥴

jquasi.bsky.social•82 days ago

If your mom has to beg to your potential employer on live TV, you are done. You don't deserve to have that job when smaller scandals have sunk the prospect for many people before you.

phbehnken1234.bsky.social•82 days ago

Other than that, he's a great guy to have a beer with! Let's put our future and the future of our grandchildren in his trembling hands.

artimparato.bsky.social•80 days ago

In past times, the super rich would compete between themselves to do the most for society.

A badge of honour opening hospitals, schools, universities, orphanages...

Now they just hoard wealth and live lives of absurd luxury.

Pathetic

mir-scs.bsky.social•82 days ago

How nice of him to get paid for getting fired after financial mismanagement, intoxication, and sexual impropriety?
Did those who were at the other end of the abuse also got paid and told to stay home?

emilyjayne.bsky.social•82 days ago

It blows my mind how people get fired for incompetence and get paid. Makes you wondering what they're keeping quiet with that NDA.

crkrjx.bsky.social•82 days ago

why do we protect the worst of humanity?

splatterthought.bsky.social•82 days ago

...money, land & power were sacred. Recognizing that our words were harder than our hopes, our appearances purer than our hearts, we deemed the words subjective & tailored our appearances to the fashion of the moment, bespoke by our benevolence to incivility. Suitably, we sat in the status quo.

patriotp.bsky.social•82 days ago

Why is Trump picking the worst people?

zobear.bsky.social•82 days ago

Financial mismanagement, substance abuse, sexual assaults… Trump’s kinda guy!

vladtheinhaler2425.bsky.social•82 days ago

Another great American CEO success story. A 6 figure severance package from a charitable organization for our veterans. All for a guy who was a drunken, woman abuser who mismanaged money. It's just mind-boggling how we do things here in Merica.

meri13fromnola.bsky.social•81 days ago

So he meets ALL of Trump's requirements for the job. 🙄

lynnchan.bsky.social•79 days ago

What would happen if President Biden, who has been granted kingly powers by SCOTUS, legally NULLIFIES all of the NDAs of Trump & his incoming administration?

ALL of them . . . the sexual ones, the financial ones, the inappropriate behavior . . . ALL of them

jofromeurope.bsky.social•82 days ago

He's over qualifyed

hellcatfury123.bsky.social•82 days ago

WHAT was it for. And why the NDA

kev-toronto.bsky.social•82 days ago

He likes beer.....

gopjesus.bsky.social•82 days ago

Hegseth is very much a typical MAGA chud.

grabarr.bsky.social•82 days ago

Another NDA to protect this predator

silkyweineck.bsky.social•82 days ago

love this culture of paying people off again after they loot you

yourfuturepotus.bsky.social•82 days ago

We just need a few Republican senators to say no. That is doable!

scotsandlit.bsky.social•82 days ago

*sigh* Who would hire this guy?

21law.bsky.social•82 days ago

no one in their right mind

livingthedreamz.bsky.social•82 days ago

Daily Post: 🇺🇲Biden needs to protect us all. It is his job as President to do so. It is vital to the U.S. citizens, Gov employees past and present, NATO, Our world wide allies, Veterans and the world itself.

jwpitt.bsky.social•82 days ago

Why can't I be an asshole, quit a company, sign an NDA, and get a shit load of money?

skaggsotld.bsky.social•82 days ago

I can't believe you mismanaged all our money. As punishment, here's a pile of money.
