Sure there’s reason to log: a few people can make their profits temporarily increase, and provide jobs for a few dozen people.

Is it a good reason? No. But it’s a reason, and I came up with it after a second’s reflection.

Next up: Dems working on secret report found Epstein and Trump were friends!

On a corruption index, shouldn’t 100 mean entirely corrupt?

Either way, the US doesn’t look good, but this seems to be an integrity index.

Trump also trash talked his longtime friend Epstein.

So what would happen if everyone registered as a republican and voted for socialists in the primaries?

For some reason I read that as motorcycle the first time. I was imagining a motorcycle with a sofa sidecar.

Hopefully that’s not what he’s saying. I hope what he’s saying is that the neoliberal Democrats aren’t in opposition to the crazy actions the Republicans are taking, and so anything they’re doing to stop them is purely performative.

Still not quite sure I agree with this, but I’m pretty sure that’s what the OP was arguing.

2024 was unfair because he didn’t win by a landslide.

Did you try tweeting your rep? That seems to be the only way to get their attention these days.

The problem is, if she exits now, what sane firm would hire her?

Yes; they’re the ones that survived.

Where I grew up, the “local tribe” had been migratory slave traders who expanded into the area shortly before Europeans showed up. They then proceeded to sign a treaty granting them the whole area, including parts where they had never actually settled.

Unlike the other tribes in the area to whom ownership was a foreign concept, they not only understood what was going on, but figured out how to profit from it. So they now have massive treaty lands that had been managed by a different nation for thousands of years prior to European settlement.

They may be playing the OTHER Trump card… that is, implicating Trump.

One thing we’ve learned from the US is that avoiding using accurate language to soften the meaning of things just lets the fascists take over.

Along with what others are saying… only the least damning half of the files have been released so far. He’s not absolved until the complete unredacted file set has been reviewed by someone no likely to cover for him.

And even there; he’s already a convicted felon; all he could possibly be absolved of at this point is… I’m not sure what.

Jan 31 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court judge ‌has ​dismissed a judicial misconduct complaint by ‌U.S. Justice Department against a judge who clashed with President Donald Trump’s ​administration over its move to deport several Venezuelans to El Salvador.

Seems to me that any big data centre should have to be invested in local power infrastructure projects themselves. Otherwise they’ll drive up prices for individuals and then abandon BC Hydro (read: BC taxpayers) with the costs once they’ve extracted what they can.

Well that was unexpected.

So… something Trump will ignore.

So… the Mexican government learned that cooperating with the current US executive will just get you betrayed and result in an immediate shortening of your political career.

Well that’s one way to get rid of him….
