(14,177 posts)that a speaker is about to embark on a long winded speech full of BS. It was about 3 seconds into his BS speech, which I was sure was going to be steaming pile of lies anyway. So, I heard "When I was elected Governor of Massa.." then I watched his hand gestures and facial expressions and watched the audience reaction and the reaction of the woman who asked the question. She seemed quite devastated, her question didn't get answered. The quiet discomfort of the audience was palatable. No one was buying the story. The knew they weren't buying and like me probably not sure why they weren't.
I heard the part about the woman who wanted to leave before 7 so she could go make dinner and be there for her children. And I was like yeah about that, kids get home way before 5 pm most anyway. Mine were home by 2 pm and 3 pm. middle school and high school let out an hour earlier than grade school. So, I guess he has no idea what times public schools are likely to let out either.
And his story about those binders was a fabrication anyway. He didn't ask for them. He was given them. And he apparently didn't hire anyone that had a resume in that binder anyway.
