Yay! You can now 'tip' your favorite judge or Supreme Court justice without having to worry about pushing them into a new tax bracket!

Actually the confession/accusation aren't against Biden but his people.

“It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger.

You can take it as read that someone else is putting "Donnie's" XOs under the autopen. I'll bet you dollars against donuts that the architects of Project 2025 are writing some of those XOs and having them signed with the autopen and Trump knows little or nothing about them.

Failure by what metric? First off, he went in and destroyed everything he wanted to. He got the FAA to cancel their contract with Verizon and sign with Starlink for communication; He and DOGE gutted agencies that were supposed to regulate SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla, and X; DoJ dropped a case agains SpaceX; and since he started his rampage, more than 40 agencies have taken no actions on investigations into his companies suggesting they are at least being slow walked if not dropped all together. The transportation department lowered requirements for Tesla and other companies to report incidents with self driving cars, and the FAA gave SpaceX permission to quintuple their number of launches despite the effect on the environment and air travel.

In what way was this a failure? Because Trump and his people hate him? Frankly, everyone hates Musk these days. Plus, I wear it as a badge of honor when the likes of Trump and his cronies hate me.

Exactly. If they had any proof, they could provide it in court, but they do not want to do that. They don't want a thousand trials, they just want to deport tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people with no oversight.

Additionally, the “fat guy” very likely loaded the “bike” with surveillance-ware and surveillance gadgetry before giving the “pizza kid” the “bike”…

Certainly loaded the bike with surveillance as did all the fat guy's friends and some of their enemies too.

I've been waiting for this. Every dirty thing he's doing now will be classified so that the courts will have an even harder time blocking him.

“It is absolutely absurd for a district judge to try to dictate the foreign policy and national security of the United States of America,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said. “These are the monsters that the district judge is trying to protect.”

No. That district judge is trying to protect the all of our due process rights. Rights which are guaranteed under the 14th amendment to each and every person within the jurisdiction of the United States of America, citizen or not. Because if any one person is denied these rights, then they can be denied to any of us. How can you prove you are a not a murderer, or a rapist, or even than you are a citizen if you are denied your right to due process?

First, because in my personal experience, locally owned businesses pay and treat their employees better than corporate run places that focus only on profit for the owners and shareholders. Second, they couldn't (legally) pay them less than Walmart does.

The Federal Criminal Police Office said in an annual report released on Tuesday that the number of violent crimes with a rightwing motive in Germany was up more than 17% last year to 1,488

You have to salute their commitment to the bit.

By attacking the Republicans at every step and making every evil choice as public as possible. What else can they do? What do you want them to do?

Walmart employs members of the community.

Seriously? Sure they hire workers but they pay them so poorly that huge numbers of them qualify for food benefits from the government and medicaid. When you shop at Walmart, you pay them twice. Once at the register, and once in your payroll taxes which go to their employees. Meanwhile, the family that owns the company have a net worth of $432.4 BILLION dollars! Fuck Walmart and the companies like them!

In 2020, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), at the behest of Senator Bernie Sanders, studied who was using federal assistance programs and where they worked. The GAO found millions of full-time workers were stuck relying on federal medical and food programs to make ends meet.

According to the office, 70 percent of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid users in their study were full-time workers, with 90 percent of them in the private sector. A significant number of them worked in restaurants and department or grocery stores.

Surprise, surprise — Walmart ranked among the top four employers whose workers relied on Medicaid and SNAP. As Eli Rosenberg broke down in the Washington Post, in nine states alone, Walmart had 14,500 employees on SNAP and 10,350 on Medicaid. Other top offenders included McDonalds, Dollar Tree, Amazon, Burger King, and FedEx.

Edit to add: Prosperous? When Walmart moves in locals suffer.

A study published in 2008 in the Journal of Urban Economics examined about 3,000 Walmart store openings nationally and found that each store caused a net decline of about 150 jobs (as competing retailers downsized and closed) and lowered total wages paid to retail workers.

The damage is long term too.

A 2012 analysis conducted by Puget Sound Sage, a nonprofit public policy organization that looks at regional economic issues, found that each new Walmart store decreases a local community’s economic output over 20 years by an estimated $13 million. The research also discovered that each Walmart store costs the community an additional $14 million in lost wages over the next 20 years. Although the Puget Sound Sage study was conducted years ago, research continues to reveal how Walmart affects the economy when it comes to town. For example, Walmart’s lower wage offerings have contributed to a decline in average retail wages in communities where the company is located. This exacerbates income inequality and economic disparity in those areas.

You are correct, they shouldn't have but you can't change the past. They fucked up. I want them to do something now to try and do something about it to try and fix the problem.
