that was the lede for the story after the commercial break.

can you fucking believe that?

I think "you're fired" predates Mr. Trump.

[WinstonSmith]

No way, the guy trademarked it first.

Regardless, I have to admit I'm hooked on that damn show.

Does anyone else find it bizarre that this guy Trump is seen as this genius of capitalism (as if he came up out of the Bowry on his own) when in fact his old man left him a bundle to start with?

He's a twerp!

[Brentwoodcat]

His taking claim for "You're Fired" is the most fraudulent thing I've ever heard. How can he possibly trademark a cliche that's been around before he was born?

Has anyone forgotten, "Jetson! You're fired!"

The guy is an insufferable egomaniac.

I was saying that to my mom and dad when I was 5 or 6. I was firing them from being my parents but it never worked.

I can't believe you spelled LEAD LEDE

Oh wait, yes I can, you probably went to SLU

[SLUBLUE]

lede
The start of a story. It is spelled this way to prevent confusion with lead, a metal that was used extensively in hot-type days, and a term that refers to the spacing of lines in a story.

that's from journalistic jargon, dickface.

[Bluenotebacker]

Two indications of a joke, or sarcasm. Sorry, I guess you woke up on the wrong side of the bed today eh?

Fuckface.

[bigJOE]

yeah but trump invented the little hand gesture that goes with "you're fired." but he doesn't do the hand gesture, anymore. what gives? he hasn't done it since like week 4.
