*I think it was you. Right?

**Or was their a choice of furniture? Am I just making shit up in my memory?

- Anyone who voted for Trump

- Anyone who pretends to be a libertarian and who voted for Johnson instead of against Trump, especially in a state where it might have made a difference
- Anyone who voted for Jill Stein
- Anyone who didn't vote
- Anyone who wouldn't vote for Hillary because Bill cheated on her
- Republicans, for many things which paved the way for Trump
- Obama, for not finding a way to make Republicans pay for their obstruction, and for failing to build institutions around his desire for change
- the Democratic Party, for all sorts of failures
- Hillary, though I suspect she did her best
- the media, for its promotion and normalization of Trump, and for the many fake scandals that dominated its coverage of Hillary
- Justice Roberts and the other conservatives on the Supreme Court, for getting rid of key parts of the Voting Rights Act, paving the way for Republican legislatures to make it harder for people, especially Democrats, to vote
- James Comey, for selfishly injecting himself into the presidential race
- the Electoral College, for handing the Presidency to an incompetent Republican who did not win the popular vote the second time in sixteen years
- myself, for not having done more

But he never lost his head, even when he won that iron bed... (originally written about Bumpkin-at-law, or whatever that handle was, but I think you're right, there were more than one winner)

Thanks! I was wondering about that. Monthly? And was there a student loan payoff thing, too?

(Uh, it may not seem it, but I do know the difference between there, their, and they're. Honest.)

Please explain? Who was the guy with dog?

Anyway, my comment about the bed? Shortly after the board moved to Infirm, there were contests and one of the prizes was furniture - I forget the name of the company that was giving the loot away, but the contest ad showed a picture of an iron bed frame.

My memory tells me that TM won the contest but never got the prize. And seeing the post reminded me of that.

ETA: Tried to make it more cryptic in a probably silly attempt to prevent outting anyone.

I think my old CEO got it kicked off Yahoo. Some numb nuts from the firm posted a memo with detailed financials. Then we were kicked off Yahoo. The CEO claimed she never threatened anybody, but when we set up our firm I did hire the CEO's secretary who told me that was a lie.

There's no valid NDA. It has just been a courtesy. Fugee and I are the only original "flounders" still posting here. I have no problem telling the story, but I will leave it up to her.

Thanks for this list. While it is incomplete, I'm sure, it is a good start. (When you say in no particular order, I'd point out that the first group on the list have to be first in ranking too.) There is plenty of blame to go around and while I'm trying to move on with positivity for the future, it is important to reflect a bit on what got us here.

Can we go back to posting on the Fashion Board now? I think my brief stay on this board is coming to a close.
