Mrs. McMahon Appointed To The Donald's Cabinet

[candycorn]

Everyone knows it's not for real for crying out loud. McMahon is not to blame for drug or alcohol abuse by the wrestlers.

Wrestlers?

They are her employees.

Heck, she and Vince had a Wellness Program for the wrestlers.

Wellness Program
The World Wrestling Federation had a drug-testing policy in place as early as 1987, initially run by an in-house administrator. In 1991, wrestlers were subjected to independent testings for anabolic steroids for the first time.[57] The independent testing was ceased in 1996.[58]

The Talent Wellness Program is a comprehensive drug, alcohol, and cardiac screening program initiated in February 2006, shortly after the sudden death of one of their highest profile talents, 38-year-old Eddie Guerrero.[59] The policy tests for recreational drug use and abuse of prescription medication, including anabolic steroids.[59] Under the guidelines of the policy, talent is also tested annually for pre-existing or developing cardiac issues. The drug testing is handled by Aegis Sciences Corporation; the cardiac evaluations are handled by New York Cardiology Associates P.C.[59] The Wellness Policy requires that all talent "under contract to WWE who regularly perform in-ring services as a professional sports entertainer" undergo testing; however, part-timers are exempt from testing.[60]

After the double-murder and suicide committed by one of its performers, Chris Benoit, with a possible link to steroid abuse encouraged by WWE, the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform requested that WWE turn over any material regarding its talent wellness policy.

In August 2007, WWE and its employees defended the program in the wake of several busts of illegal pharmacy that linked WWE performers to steroid purchases even after the policy was put into place.

Ten professional wrestlers were suspended for violating the Wellness Policy after reports emerged they were all customers of Signature Pharmacy in Orlando, Florida. According to a statement attributed to WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt, an eleventh wrestler was later added to the suspension list.

Because of the Wellness Policy, physicians were able to diagnose one of its performers with a heart ailment that would otherwise likely have gone unnoticed until it was too late.

In August 2007, then-reigning United States Champion Montel Vontavious Porter (real name Hassan Assad) was diagnosed with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome,[65] which can be potentially fatal if gone undiagnosed. The ailment was discovered while Assad was going through a routine Wellness Policy checkup.

On September 13, 2010, WWE updated their list of banned substances to include muscle relaxers

Now are you going to admit there is something to it or are you just going to be a political hack?

Actually... the "entertainers" are independent contractors, not employees.

Distinction without a difference. They are contracted to the WWE to provide a service.

[Lewdog]

I am not actually familiar with this hag,,, I mean, woman. Ive never been interested in wrestling so Ive never heard of her until now.
Whats the story behind dozens of employees dying under her watch? I might have to consider having little respect for her.

Most have died due to drug overdoses, brain problems coming from concussions, or health problems from years of drug or steroid use.

isnt that an issue in most contact sports? But I see what you mean, with a bit more concern, testing etc... it sounds like a good deal of those deaths could have been avoided. Are these things overlooked because the people using the steroids are bringing in so much money? Basically they are nothing more to the industry than a tool to generate cash?

.
Well, there is that. Additionally, the "cat is out of the bag" as far as kids being suckered into thinking it is real (They still hold out that the action is real in the WWE believe it or not)

So someone who is 5'10 like Tully Blanchard or Ric Flair wouldn't have a career in this day and age except as a speed bump for larger men. Nobody is going to believe they would stand a chance with larger guys. So the message is that if you haven't got size, you haven't got anything. Thus you have these behemoth figures who are, as you put it, tools to generate gate. In the past, you could have a normal size body and have a career. That's no longer the case.

That's not true... in fact the WWE has been going towards the smaller guys in recent years. Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan... Samoa Joe, how many guys you want me to name? Now all the guys look like Rick Steiner.

I'll trust you on that. My message was that the kids of today realize that if you're the size of Kevin Hart, you're not going to be doing much damage to Kevin Nash.

It happens in WWE all the time. Rey Mysterio for example. He used to wrestle the bigger guys like Kane and the Big Show. Fans ate it up. Right now, a wrestler named Kalisto is wrestling Baron Corbin.

There is a difference. The wrestlers don't have a union, and have to provide their own insurance.

I think that part of the problem we are experiencing here, on both sides really, is that in the past, presidents were basically picked by the party, they might give you a choice between this guy or that guy, but in the end when there is a winner sitting in the white house, he was chosen by the party, not the voters.
Now along with that comes the appointments to the cabinet, we have become used to the party actually being the entity that picks the cabinet members, we voters might think that the president elect is making these picks, but I think its the party loading the administration with the people they want to work with.
Now along comes Trump, the republican party did not want him, they wanted Cruz or Rubio, someone that they already had groomed to do what they want. Trump wins and all of a sudden the party is no longer in charge of picking the cabinet, Trump is picking, and he is picking people that he has dealt with over the years, that he has become accustomed to working with and that he trusts.

Shockingly, there is a lot of truth in what I quoted. What Mr. Trump will learn is that Presidents usually don't make new friends so you have to hold on to your old ones.

The problem (if you want to call it that) is that party patronage has ensured some steadiness and delivered the greatest civilization to ever grace the planet. While I don't think 4 or 8 years of letting governors think they are UN ambassadors or pediatricians running vital bureaucracies will sink us; it's probably not something you want to mistake for being a long term positive.

I'd feel more comfortable if they brought up some actual reforms such as "zero based" budgeting, forcing Congress to approve any single expenditure over $1,000,000 (or whatever is practical) other than creating these black boxes where you have no track record to look at.

Lets see how it goes.

WTF
You might have some reasonably intelligent qualities after all..
Dont fuck with me like that again. LOL
But you are right, I dont think we want to play the game of non experienced people running things for too long, but I still maintain that it is going to send one hell of a harsh message to both parties. I would love in 2020 if the democrats ran someone off the wall like Trump too, that would be the straw that breaks the back so to speak, it would mean that even the left is tired of the BS coming out of washington. The left deserves as much say in this country as the right, as long as things are as they are, neither of us has any say. Its all staged.
And I do like the approval of anything over 1,000,000. Its a small number, its might make the big numbers look bigger to them and could end up with a tighter budget with less waste. With as much money as this country is capable of generating there is no reason for us to have the debt we do and the issues with people starving. With proper leadership, we could have it all and a surplus along with lower taxes.
both sides can have what they want at the same time if things can be brought under control. I say give it another 20 years and this crap could all be fixed.

Clooney/Damon 2020
A clear vision for America (20/20--get it?)

I dont think I would be too excited about such a pair, however, if it was between them and one of the establishment republicans, I might be tempted to go with that. For the same reasons.
Look, I honestly think that this country is very close to its breaking point. Drastic measures have to be taken and the first step is to shake the hell out of DC, Trump is going to shake it a little bit, but we need a full blown earthquake to get these idiots attention.

Not the thread for it but America is nowhere remotely close to reaching any sort of breaking point. "Make America Great Again" was good bait.

Put another way, when you look at the nation in 2020, you will see that not much will have changed; yet 40% of the nation will swear that we're "great" again.

Each individual will have a different view of what great again means.
I grew up in the 60s, back then you didnt have to be a rocket scientist to raise your family.
One of my friends fathers worked at a record store, didnt own it, he worked at it, his mom was a secretary somewhere. The lived in the same community as I did. ( my father actually made serious good money) Another family down the street from us had 12 kids,, TWELVE, ( I think they were Catholic and using condoms in the 60s would send you to hell. they have better condoms now) But the mother in that family did not work outside of the home, hell, she was freaking pregnant all the way through the 60s and into the 70s. The dad was a cashier at the Giant Food store. A cashier. They had the biggest style house in the community and he was able to afford to raise those 12 kids.
Today both mom and dad work, the bring in over 100k a year, they have one kid and live in a crap house, drive an old ragged out car and can barely make ends meet.
I want to go back to the 60s when people could actually afford to live, and I mean LIVE not just exist.

Happened on her watch....dozens of employees of the WWE all under 50 and now dead. And you're telling me that the co-founder and one of the people in charge had no idea? She should have--don't you think?

Gee, I wonder how you'd react if Ms. Clinton had employees that report to her dying at that clip????

Again, the McMahon body count speaks for itself.

And dozens (if not hundreds more) over 50 who have died prematurely and as in the case of Chris Benoit...took their family with them.

Oh give it freaking up. That world of make believe is an entertainment company with 800 plus employees and she is co founder with Vince and was CEO.

George Lucas is in the world of make believe too. So is Spielberg.

Are they incapable of running their businesses?

They do not pass it off as real.
They also do not have dozens employees of theirs killing their familes and themselves to keep their jobs...
DEAD WWE WRESTLERS UNDER 50

Everyone knows that conservatives are totally apolitical and value truth above all else. So I do expect you guys to get right on the fact that in her Industry, Ms. McMahon was on watch while dozens of her employees died. After all, you guys seem to spend days speculating about a comparative few in Ms. Clinton's past who died early.

So are you just a political hack or are you interested in broadcasting the truth?

I am not actually familiar with this hag,,, I mean, woman. Ive never been interested in wrestling so Ive never heard of her until now.

Actually, Vince McMahon was taken to Federal Court back in the day because guys like Hulk hogan accused him of asking wrestlers to do steroids in order to look better. It wasn't until after that, that the WWF/WWE started a Wellness program. Things are a lot better now than they used to be, but many wrestlers still accuse the company of allowing the big earning stars to get away with more than the others. Also, the WWF/WWE no longer allows wrestlers to get hit in the head with chairs like they used to, and have tighter concussion protocols. In fact, one of their biggest stars Daniel Bryan is no longer allowed to wrestle in the WWE due to his repeated concussions. All this has only come after years of wrestlers dying, and a huge lawsuit that is still pending against them.

Nailz accused him. Not sure who else. That's for true. But Hulk Hogan's testimony got him acquitted.

That was in Laurel Md. Anne Arundel County. (have to state the county because the city of Laurel is in AA county, prince georges and a bit in howard counties.
Most of the people in the area were employed by NSA, which is only about 5 miles or so down the road in Ft Mead. ( my Jr High school was in Ft Mead. McArthur Jr High.)

It is great choice to choose someone that has been CEO of a successful company, she also helped her son Shame O Mac to start up some other businesses out outside of the WWE.

If this would have been an far left drone Obama appointment they would have been a mid sized donor with zero experience about the job.

Here's an example of what I said in the other thread about liberals being awful people. Here they are mocking a woman when they know nothing about her. They are mean and spiteful people, and personally, I'm sick of their bad attitude.

Speak for your own ignorance, don't try to push it onto others.

I know quite a bit about Linda McMahon. I've even met her a number of times.

I don't think she's a "bad" person, or that she's going to hell, like some here do about their political opponents - but I do think she's an absolutely incompetent wanna-be politician.

Linda Marie McMahon (née Edwards; born October 4, 1948) is an American professional wrestling magnate and a former Republican Party candidate.[3] She is notable for her career developing WWE with her husband Vince McMahon. McMahon was active with WWE (WWF until 2002) from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a small regional business in New York to a large multinational. McMahon and her husband became wealthy through the WWE's success, and the McMahon familyname is now synonymous with the wrestling industry.[4] As President and later CEO of the company, she negotiated business deals, launched wrestling merchandise, signed wrestler contracts, and managed and wrote for WWE publications.[5] She also started the company's civic programs, Get REAL and Smackdown Your Vote. McMahon occasionally made on-screen appearances, most notably in a wrestling feud with her husband which climaxed at WrestleMania X-Seven.

Linda McMahon - Wikipedia

Doc, she's MORE COMPETENT THAN YOU.

So, you're saying that overseeing oiled-up men in their underwear pretending to fight makes her a competent politician?

Or does the fact that she lost back-to-back Senate elections by staggering margins make her competent?

Obama bending over to pick up soap in a Chicago gay Bathouse made him competent...so......

I know quite a bit about Linda McMahon. I've even met her a number of times.

I don't think she's a "bad" person, or that she's going to hell, like some here do about their political opponents - but I do think she's an absolutely incompetent wanna-be politician.

Linda Marie McMahon (née Edwards; born October 4, 1948) is an American professional wrestling magnate and a former Republican Party candidate.[3] She is notable for her career developing WWE with her husband Vince McMahon. McMahon was active with WWE (WWF until 2002) from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a small regional business in New York to a large multinational. McMahon and her husband became wealthy through the WWE's success, and the McMahon familyname is now synonymous with the wrestling industry.[4] As President and later CEO of the company, she negotiated business deals, launched wrestling merchandise, signed wrestler contracts, and managed and wrote for WWE publications.[5] She also started the company's civic programs, Get REAL and Smackdown Your Vote. McMahon occasionally made on-screen appearances, most notably in a wrestling feud with her husband which climaxed at WrestleMania X-Seven.

Doc, she's MORE COMPETENT THAN YOU.

So, you're saying that overseeing oiled-up men in their underwear pretending to fight makes her a competent politician?

Or does the fact that she lost back-to-back Senate elections by staggering margins make her competent?

Obama bending over to pick up soap in a Chicago gay Bathouse made him competent...so......

I think you spelled incontinent wrong.

Her bio is interesting. She's certainly the right person for the job. Check this out.

"McMahon presently advises global businesses as part of APCO Worldwide’s International Advisory Council and is the co-founder and chief executive officer of Women’s Leadership LIVE, LLC, a company that uses live events and ongoing mentorships to educate and inspire women to launch and expand their own businesses, advance their careers toward executive roles, and pursue opportunities for leadership in public service."

Clooney/Damon 2020
A clear vision for America (20/20--get it?)

I dont think I would be too excited about such a pair, however, if it was between them and one of the establishment republicans, I might be tempted to go with that. For the same reasons.
Look, I honestly think that this country is very close to its breaking point. Drastic measures have to be taken and the first step is to shake the hell out of DC, Trump is going to shake it a little bit, but we need a full blown earthquake to get these idiots attention.

Not the thread for it but America is nowhere remotely close to reaching any sort of breaking point. "Make America Great Again" was good bait.

Put another way, when you look at the nation in 2020, you will see that not much will have changed; yet 40% of the nation will swear that we're "great" again.

Each individual will have a different view of what great again means.
I grew up in the 60s, back then you didnt have to be a rocket scientist to raise your family.
One of my friends fathers worked at a record store, didnt own it, he worked at it, his mom was a secretary somewhere. The lived in the same community as I did. ( my father actually made serious good money) Another family down the street from us had 12 kids,, TWELVE, ( I think they were Catholic and using condoms in the 60s would send you to hell. they have better condoms now) But the mother in that family did not work outside of the home, hell, she was freaking pregnant all the way through the 60s and into the 70s. The dad was a cashier at the Giant Food store. A cashier. They had the biggest style house in the community and he was able to afford to raise those 12 kids.
Today both mom and dad work, the bring in over 100k a year, they have one kid and live in a crap house, drive an old ragged out car and can barely make ends meet.
I want to go back to the 60s when people could actually afford to live, and I mean LIVE not just exist.

Where was that--if you don't mind me asking.

That was in Laurel Md. Anne Arundel County. (have to state the county because the city of Laurel is in AA county, prince georges and a bit in howard counties.
Most of the people in the area were employed by NSA, which is only about 5 miles or so down the road in Ft Mead. ( my Jr High school was in Ft Mead. McArthur Jr High.)

Must be more of those phantom jobs created by Uncle Sam (lol).

The short answer is this; Thank Wal*Mart for the way it is now although that is unfair to Wal*Mart; they were just the first to leverage their buying power and force manufacturing to reduce costs and jobs, drive down wages in every area they opened a store, totally shun unions, and use the public health system as part of their health plan. If Target had done it first, they would have been just as bare knuckled when it came to dealing with their suppliers, the municipalities, and employees.

Until we change the atmosphere, companies will continue to operate the same way. Rolling back OSHA and worker/environmental safety regulations are only going to make things worse; not better. You think the money that Wal Mart or Petco saves by not having to comply with so many regulations will find it's way into it's shopper's pockets? Ha! Maybe their investor's pockets but that's it. We're seeing that already with

And, no, tariffs will not do anything to change the atmosphere.
