    Welfare Queen YLB comments frequently about PPP funds handed out to people who didn’t have a need for it it. From her comments one might think that people who stole PPP money and are caught doing something illegal in the process are people she would like to see prosecuted.

    It’s a surprise, then, that a majority of House Democrats feel differently:

    Nick Sortor
    @nicksortor

    🚨 #BREAKING: The US House just EXTENDED the statute of limitations for people who committed COVID fraud, allowing those who stole COVID relief funds to continue to be prosecuted.

    DOGE is coming for these criminals.

    Democrats are apparently VERY afraid of this, considering 127 of them voted against it.

    Dwayne Johnson Slams Reporter for ‘Toxic, False Clickbait Garbage’ and ‘Posting Bulls—‘ After WWE Event Used to Criticize Maui Relief Efforts

    “I typically refrain from responding to toxic, false clickbait garbage like this because I hate dignifying bullshit with a response, but when you use Hawaii’s tragic events to draw attention to yourself I won’t stay quiet,” Johnson wrote on X.

    I provided a link — see how I did that? If you want to know why 127 Democrats voted against H.R. 1156, go to this document and scroll down to pages 38-39. There you’ll find a perfectly logical and valid explanation. Meanwhile,

    The Trump administration is slashing the size of the Justice Department’s unit that oversees prosecutions of public officials accused of corruption, three sources who spoke on condition of anonymity told NBC News.

    Only a small fraction of the section’s employees — roughly a half-dozen — will remain in an office that, until recently, oversaw all federal public corruption cases nationwide and housed dozens of employees, two sources said.

    From the link @ 8:

    Trump’s issues with odor appear to have begun many decades ago, when he was in his thirties, which means either (a) they stem from a serious medical condition he has since endeavored to lie ruthlessly to voters about, (b) they stem from dubious personal habits like drug abuse that American voters have a right to know of, or (c) they arise from personal hygiene issues of another sort that Trump himself opened the door to regular discussion of on the campaign trail by (i) regularly attacking the personal hygiene of political opponents, (ii) making ageism (not to mention disinformation related to age) the centerpiece of his two campaigns against Joe Biden, and (iii) making a decision-in the midst of pursuing a white supremacist political base-to put himself forward as an ideal specimen of “alpha-male” toughness, charisma, and sex appeal.

    widbee dumbfuck and other trolls have attacked lefties as smelling bad.. Very Nazist type behavior equivalent to the Nazis loathing Jews at every level imaginable, hygiene in particular

    Interesting that the article notes that people who love pants shitter generally have a strong intolerance of noticeable body, fecal, decay, etc. odors.. This is borne out by the behavior of trolls here.

    Too bad only a very few will get a whiff of their orange pants shitting dear leader.

    Ray Dalio is sounding a debt alarm, but it’s falling on deaf ears. If Republicans were serious about debt they would use savings from firing federal workers and slashing program funding to reduce deficits instead eliminating or lowering taxes for billionaires like Dalio by three times as much, thereby increasing deficits and adding to debt.

    Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.) said on Tuesday that President Trump successfully made the case against the Department of Education …. adding that poor test scores across the country have demonstrated “a failure in so many ways.”

    https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5189943-mark-harris-trump-education-department/

    So taking money away from struggling schools for things like special education going to improve test scores? I suspect this Republican minister from North Carolina will say those students should pray more. But there’s always been a ton of prayer in schools, you know. When there’s a test the students do a hell of a lot of praying.

    You know the US didn’t start the dairy tariffs thing, right? Maybe ask the Canucks why they’ve got a 298% butter tariff:

    Any additional imports are subject to higher tariff rates. Canada maintains TRQs for 14 categories of U.S. dairy products under the USMCA. Tariffs get steep pretty quickly, ranging from 241% for liquid milk to 298% for butter, effectively pricing those imported products out of the market.1 day ago

    USAID official tells staffers: Shred and burn your documents

    A senior official at USAID instructed a number of the agency’s remaining staff to convene at the agency’s now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.

    The materials earmarked for destruction include contents of the agency’s “classified safes and personnel documents” at the Ronald Reagan Building, said an email sent by USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by POLITICO.

    Maybe ask the Canucks why they’ve got a 298% butter tariff:

    Or maybe ask Fat Hitler.

    He very proudly renegotiated NAFTA to become USMCA and signed off on those dumping penalty terms for Dean Foods and DFA.

    Dean was entering bankruptcy at the time due to massive overproduction and looking to dump excess product through its Canadian subsidiaries where there are no government imposed price supports. So in order for Dean to obtain permission to dump limits were agreed to. In the end Dean failed and DFA bought their operations and with reduced production never exceeded the dumping limits. Deans Canadian subsidiaries were sold to Canadians. And now DFA has no market leverage in Canadian distribution.

    Trump and DFA signed off on all of it. And Canada very kindly granted DFA an enduring license to dump in Canadian markets, but without coercive market controls and only within the negotiated dumping limits. And those limits have never been exceeded.

    So Dean Foods in a desperate bid to avoid bankruptcy started a dairy war against Canada. And Trump acting on the advice of DFA forced them into bankruptcy so that DFA could buy them out cheap. And in exchange for going along with that scheme Canada demanded that DFA agree to strict dumping limits.
