Kut's Trump Approval Thread #1 (Starts Out at 100%)

[RustyHornet]

Had a friend once that treated the tip at a restaurant the same way. He'd tell the waiter/waitress, "Hi, I'm Jeff, and this is the way I do the tip. Here's twenty dollars (lays a twenty on the table), that's where we start. Each time something bad happens - my glass goes empty - my food is delivered cold - the check is inaccurate - etc. I take money away and put it back in my pocket. Savvy?" Jeff NEVER got bad service and I mean NEVER.

I was told by an Uncle of mine that that was how a tip was given in the old days and would actually be the proper way to give a tip today.

Well, that's one way to get them to spit in your drink.

Well, if it got too low, yeah, but I suspect that the tip probably never gets too low because of the excellent service. If you start out giving someone a great tip comparative to the price of the meal, and knowing how bad some people actually tip, I imagine the server would do right by you.

Yep. TIPS = To Insure Proper Service

This is why the service I get at my regular eateries is always good. I tip well.

Mods, can you check if any hits to this thread are from whitehouse.gov yet?

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

A-.

Nobody's perfect. Always room for improvement. Pretty good first day.

 

[Mgderf]

Can someone please confirm that this is in fact Kut?
Are we sure he hasn't been absconded with, and replaced with this more likeable version?


Seriously though, I too am impressed with this thread.
My hat is off to you Kut.
This is not at all what I had expected when I opened this thread, and don't ask what I did expect.

Trump was by far, not my first, or even second choice for POTUS either, but I'm glad to see him getting a fair shake to start.
I'll watch this thread with great interest, and chime in on occasion.

Bane speech out of Batman. "give it back to the people".

In the history of politics, I'm pretty sure it was from before Batman.

 

[churchmouse]

Nothing wrong just popping some up.

Pass the salt OK.....

Pretty good read so far.

Bane speech out of Batman. "give it back to the people".

From Imdb: Gracchus (Character) from Gladiator (2000)

Gracchus: So, after Rome's all yours, you just give it back to the people. Tell me why.
Maximus: Because that was a dying man's last wish. I will kill Commodus. The fate of Rome, I leave to you.


Dark Knight Rises was sooo 2012

Watching the National Prayer Service... I gotta say, I'm a little uneasy about singing "God Bless America" and "The Star-Spangled Banner," in the House of the Lord. Just seems weird, has it always been like that (which I suspect)? Anyways not a reflection on Trump - score unchanged.

I've always been uncomfortable with it as well Kut, I've attended churches that do it every "nationalistic" holiday, veteran's, 4/July, memorial day etc. Always seemed wrong to me.

i grew up singing them in church. You guys ever sing Onward Christian soldiers to a pipe organ and brass section? Moving.

VP Pence was clearly moved, he cried during How Great Thou Art

Catholics sing God Bless America in church not infrequently. Can't say I can recall hearing the National Anthem in church, it is much more militaristic.

Onward christian soldiers?

battle hymn of the republic?

 

[OakRiver]

So will this rating be entirely subjective, or are there some measurable and objective standards?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Trump starts at 0 and gains .01 for each law he repeals.

Move-busting is off the table, eh?
