  1. The team just fell apart down the stretch. No fight
  2. No shit - I would have voted for his corpse that was animated by the magic of Jim Henson studios and the Muppets over any of this wannabe despot BS
  3. So in one case in CA, a judge ruled to reinstate 24,000 probationary employees who were fired illegally (with back pay) and now this: I just can’t get over how damn efficient this all is. Elon truly showing how brilliant he is in creating lasting change for the better
  4. Not just out of the country but the US is apparently using our tax dollars to pay to hold them in a slave labor prison indefinitely
  5. this post was restricted to only logged in users so I took a screenshot. We have to consider that Elon is doing these things on purpose to benefit foreign actors. Given that he’s gone through no background check, has limitless conflicts of interest, and couldn’t obtain a clearance without the president’s personal intervention, it’s something we need to be very concerned about answering
  6. All of those factors are self inflicted. Just fantastic work all around- truly a golden age
  7. That’s a good joke. Also would have accepted “his OL”
  8. I first chaired trials in federal and state courts for 15 years and also appeared in a handful of cases before Judge Boasberg. No way would I have the balls to make this argument to his face. Embarrassing bad faith BS
  9. Brazen defiance to the chief judge of the DC federal court He’s bending over backwards asking them to give a written justification as case law and precedent requires more than the government screaming “NATIONAL SECURITY”. Sounds like noon tomorrow for that submission. That said - showing up to an evidentiary hearing on your own contempt of court without answers is a stupid battle to pick. They don’t have 5 votes at SCOTUS for ignoring TROs
  10. This is going about as expected
  11. With NK troops in Ukraine, it may be only a matter of time before other countries get involved. Poland has been itching for an excuse to join the fighting
  12. Isn’t the script in Christopher Guest movies a series of scene set ups or a few key jokes and the actors improv for a bunch of takes?
  13. Schumer is too old and has no instincts anymore. Completely misread the situation
  14. I don’t care why - this is a good thing
  15. I won’t speak for the person you’re quoting, but I’d guess it has something to do with this: “As of October 2024, there have been hundreds of documented nonfatal incidents involving Autopilot and fifty-one reported fatalities, forty-four of which NHTSA investigations or expert testimony later verified and two that NHTSA’s Office of Defect Investigations verified as happening during the engagement of Full Self-Driving (FSD).” https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevebanker/2025/02/11/tesla-again-has-the-highest-accident-rate-of-any-auto-brand/
  16. Because of the legal shell game they set up. Ostensibly these people were hired into the US Digital Service and that was folded into the Executive Office of the President so it’s “not an agency”. A federal court only just ruled that DOGE is subject to FOIA
  17. Perhaps the beginning of accountability and sunlight into this shadow presidency
  18. So first of all - so great for all the US based champagne producers… This is such a dumb way to run a country. It truly seems like he’s trying to crash the economy
  19. We’re disappearing green card holders for their speech - of course the precedent was set when we looked the other way when Virginia resident and WaPo journalist was murdered by MBS so what do we care of middle Eastern people anyway. We are permitting a foreign billionaire to dismantle US agencies that have active regulatory enforcement investigations into his companies simply bc he was the President’s biggest donor We have politicized our entire federal law enforcement arm from prosecutors to the FBI itself - no more impartial rule of law, emphasized of course by pardoning terrorists who assaulted cops in a literal effort to stop the certification of votes electing a President I used to believe there were immutable issues that everyone shared that were the backbone of the American idea. We’ve instead become a Russian vassal state All that to say that I don’t believe in third rails. There’s not a single issue this government can take on that will result in a wholesale rejection of Trump or MAGA. GOP politicians and voters alike would rather eat glass than admit we should have people inspecting our food to make sure it doesn’t have glass in it
  20. They genuinely believe (or refuse to correct) that tariffs can replace the revenue from income taxes.
  21. Yes and it’s 25% - cartoon idiocy. EU retaliation already levied
  22. So we all have GOP Congress to thank to taping our feet to the bicycle and forcing us to endure whatever tariffs fuckery comes next with no legal off ramp. Just fantastic work
  23. I have to believe this is mostly because of poor cap management. It’s not like there’s a ton of room in the budget unspent- it’s that they don’t prioritize putting money aside for free agency. Any signings they do make I seem to remember also news of key players restructuring their contracts to make the cap space available
