Sarcasm aside, it’s unprecedented (and/or unpresidential) for one clown to be charged in criminal proceedings in four different venues and not be held in jail.

The man has multiple passports and owns a private jet. It’s fair to say he’s a flight risk.

Oh. Trump had someone photoshop something.

I thought Trump was referring the ketchup stains that he leaves everywhere from throwing plates when he’s cranky.

“Deadlock” is the excuse that your party makes when they only pass laws for billionaires.

Let’s give this a more reasonable title: “Stephen Miller Launches Advertising Campaign / Fundraiser Using Meritless Lawsuit”

Good news: here in Newport, WA, our hospital has re-opened the birthing center, and a second clinic is under construction. I assume a lot of the patients that we’ll get will be from Idaho’s Boundary and Bonner counties.

The real question is, why is a supposed billionaire begging for donations?

The man lies about everything, everywhere, all at once.

Now I’m off to the supermarket to get celebratory ice cream for the latest round of indictments that dropped today.

Speaking as a resident in her district, Cathy is a sock puppet for her donors. She’s been well paid and will spout the script that her owners/lobbyists have provided for her. I’d be surprised if Cathy has personally filled up a gas tank in the last 10 years. She’s a reliable tool for the billionaires.

Fuck her, in the neck, with a spork.

First, Leo is right to be scared. Anyone who subverts democracy so flagrantly is going to anger people. Angry people can get violent.

Second, why they hell haven’t democracy-loving Americans stomped Leo into exile?

Maybe she has no other achievements in her life?

GOP is a party of principles, and the first principle is that GOP candidates can’t have more than 2 pending criminal cases against them.

Anything else is just communism.

He got his ass kicked in the jail where he was being held. So now the wanna be assassin is in isolation. Yum - nutraloaf.

Next up, Trump will challenge that Willis cheated on a junior high math test and therefore the grand jury report is invalid.

“successful” debaters win a second term.

Trying to keep it PG…

The congresspukes who bitch the loudest about the military are cowards who never set foot in a MEPS station themselves.

I’m not saying that you have to have served to have a valid opinion, but I am saying that this guy is talking out his ass.

Y’all should read the article. The issue is that a professor who studies digital media can’t search TikTok, and can’t have her grad students search videos on TikTok. This ends her research because TikTok is where people post videos.

We’ve tried training, we’ve tried internal affairs, we’ve tried civilian oversight boards - nothing works.

If you want to fix broken policing, the answer is civil tort law:

• mandatory personal malpractice insurance for each cop
• abolish qualified immunity

Let victims sue, and make insurance pay huge settlements.

Implications:

• cop salary will have to go up to cover basic insurance premiums. That’s ok - it’s good incentive for cities to find alternatives to cops, the way paramedics are an alternative to licensed doctors
• after a few lawsuits, bad cops will have their premiums go up; that’s less take home pay for them, and that history will follow them if they try to change departments; really shitty cops will find they can’t afford to be cops and find new careers
• insurance companies will get good at cop lawsuits like they are with medical lawsuits; there will be a lot of out of court settlements, and over time, insurance companies will know which departments and which policies lead to lawsuits, and set premiums accordingly

This is how society turned barbers into surgeons; it’s not rocket science.

Well, those yield gains are from capitalism subsidized with government-sponsored ag research at hundreds of college campuses, and subsidized by intellectual property protections for patents and copyrights, and government price supports, and government crop insurance, and government land-bank programs to pay farmers to not overuse the land, and ag labor subsidized by special exemptions for minimum wage and citizenship verifications, as well as tight border controls and political vilification of the immigrant labor force to keep the wages low.

But yeah, when society throws enough money into capitalism and soaks up the external costs, it sometimes delivers results.

In short, modern US agriculture is hardly a good example of either unfettered markets or unfettered capitalism. Big US ag is privatized profits and socialized losses, like a lot of other US industry, albeit with much better PR than (for instance) the banking industry.

One company I worked at had more full-time collections people than sales people. Our products were a lot cheaper than our competitors, and it attracted a lot of customers with no money.

Another company I worked at ignored all “first notice” bills they ran up. CFO told me that if a company wanted paid, they needed to send a second notice.

I honestly don’t think the man has a grand plan. I think he “officially” ran for president partly to step up donations, partly to throw a wrench in the inevitable prosecutions he was facing last fall, and partly just to do something random to stay in the press.

Choking on a hamburder would solve a lot of problems, but I expect one of his creditors will buy off his kids to smother him with a pillow. Trump has done dirt with some shady people, and if Trump was facing jail time, God only knows what sort of embarrassing stories he might tell. I’ve been expecting Putin to send Trump a pallet of novichok Diet Coke for two years now.
