Why the eff is my state not on that list? At least my city is, but how is my state not standing up for human rights?

It’s clearly a conflict of interest, by definition.

Maybe you could argue it wasn’t a quid pro quo or a bribe since there is no proof, but it’s awfully suspicious

So Louisiana will have a business that’s not in New Orleans (and not a refinery)? Employing dozens?

They can deport you for free

There has to be a way for law enforcement to investigate election fraud. However we always trusted the investigators would be legitimate and investigating actual fraud, rather than being the ones perpetrating fraud

I’m surprised he’s going after Massachusetts like this. I mean, I imagine it’s spite over humane treatment of immigrants and resistance to interfering with education, but come on. We’re so blue that no amount of voter intimidation could possibly turn our vote red

It’s at every level of the current administration…. While a healthy skepticism is always good, we’re never going to be able to trust anything from our government, are we

And make them pay reparations for what they don’t people’s lives

Even then the price will go up, now that they have a strong bargaining position and understand exactly where to put their leverage. Be ready for them to “renegotiate” in a year

As an X’er not too far behind them:

On paper I look like one of those hoarders: nice income and a lot of house equity. I also have above average 401k balance

However

• excessive home inflation
• interest rates lock-in
• medical emergency costs ridiculous
• kid college costs ridiculous
• car costs ridiculous
• divorce lost half of everything
• retirement age 65–>67
• ageism means i can’t expect to work as long as I need to
• boomer parents not going to leave anything

We’re hit by all the same excessive inflation as everyone else but we can’t downsize because mortgage rates are too high. All the missing safety nets affect us as much as everyone, except we’re out of time to recover from any catastrophe.

Given a family medical emergency, I missed 15 years of 401k contributions, and never upgraded from A “starter home”, despite what the valuation looks like, and I have a lot of major maintenance coming up

I have to say that despite a lot of things that look really good on paper, I was much better off financially in my 30’s

I also don’t see anything about continued threats. Sure this seems textbook “stand your ground”, but maybe it’s a better argument for gun control.

While no one should be threatened or assaulted, was this a potentially deadly encounter, or was it the presence of a firearm escalating an attack into something potentially deadly. Being assaulted doesn’t justify deadly force

• states do not have jurisdiction over irs, no “standing”
• the new crime was not perpetrated by the defendant. Trump illegally taking money from IRS as a slush fund to criminals who forward hi s desires is his crime

I think you’d need to make the argument that a slush fund payout is directly profiting from your crime but you’d have to argue that

I like Newsom’s energy in getting attention to another of the administration’s illegal actions

…. But can this actually happen or is it just noise?

We all know that soccer is unamerican (because we’re bad at it). Anyone coming here to watch soccer deserves to be punished

BS.

• Monday is a holiday
• everything said here has been true for years. Where are the charges?

I understand the desire for justice, I agree this case is egregious, and the proof does seem out in the open, but wishing doesn’t make it so

Common estimates are that he’s made $4B off the presidency, he got the Supreme Court to decide that any “official” act by him is legal, and sued his own justice department for $10B to orchestrate a “settlement” with a legally binding agreement to never charge him with anything.

He’s ready to retire now

Edit: oh, we’re only talking Iran? At some point Iran will propose everything they want and hype it online as trumps plan so he can say “winning!”

I do. She wasn’t just the only candidate who was not an evil egocentric conman, but would have continued policies for the long term improvement in the country.

My biggest complaint against Biden policies was this country is too schizophrenic for policies that build over a long term. Another 4 years might have gotten the ball rolling enough so they couldn’t be turned back. Meanwhile back in the real world, most were canceled after spending huge amounts of money but before we could see any benefit

…. And if anyone knows treason, it’s mango Mussolini

Fantastic that seeing consequences for some of their actions …. And there’s no presidential pardon keeping him above the law

We have laws against treason that just need to be enforced.
