    After a slew of court wins yesterday by legit, ethical firms pushing back against GOP fuckery and retributive weaponizing of Fat Hitler executive orders, Skadden, Arps and Paul, Weiss now look like absolute assholes and are seeing their highest billing clients getting poached aggressively.

    Good.

    The federal cuts now force states to come up with funding from their own budgets – or shutter programs altogether, Perry said. States like West Virginia – where more than half the $19.2 billion annual budget for fiscal 2025 relies on federal funds – are particularly hard-hit.

    DOGE says it’s cutting nearly half a billion dollars from Kentucky, Indiana health departments
    LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – New entries on the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) website show the agency plans on cutting nearly half a billion dollars from state health department grants in Kentucky and Indiana.
    The cuts are likely to come from several programs including those the Purple Heart program for veterans, child vaccine distribution, staffing for the 988 hotline, addiction treatment resources and more.

    More than two full hours of Indiana MAGAt Rep ViKKKtoria Spartz arguing angrilly with and yelling at her own voters is so awesome it’s actually worth enduring.

    https://youtu.be/R93fjuWhFo0

    But the real money sequence comes at 19:00 minutes
    https://youtu.be/R93fjuWhFo0?feature=shared&t=1140

    Great question. Great crowd response (the entire room stands and cheers for the question and some even begin chanting “lock him up”). But Spratz’s body language and demanor once the cheering dies down is absofuckinglutely priceless.

    I can only add that I sincerely hope Democratic Party leadership can get their shit together and exploit this open frustration among the ranks of Republican voters for once. But that shouldn’t stop the rest of us. This shit needs to go viral. Most of this video footage of the crowd jeering and booing their own elected Republican Rep. is being sanitized by the media. They are reporting that it was a difficult confrontation for her. But they are clipping out the crowd reactions and most of her angry, confrontational response. It’s really going to be up to the rest of us to get this out.

    Video like this is powerful.

    @6 You raise an interesting issue. The number of publicly traded companies has been steadily shrinking. Stock buybacks reduce the shares of those left. So now there are fewer shares available for the public to own, and you gotta get while you can! That’s what I’m doing.

    Doctor Dumbfuck, who by his own admission has no shares, is pissed that I didn’t leave any for him. Well, like voting for Trump, that’s a personal choice he made, and it’s on him not me!

    @9 Who would’ve guessed they wanted to drain the swamp in order to create their own swamp?

  25. 25

    @19 Spartz is an interesting case. Born, raised, and educated in Ukraine when it was part of the USSR, she’s very anti-socialist and anti-government. She’s a CPA and former real estate broker who entered politics via the Tea Party movement. She’s a three-term member of Congress representing a district in the Indianapolis exurbs who won her first election with only 50% of the vote, though the district is about 60-40 GOP leaning.

    Spartz is unusually independent for a Republican, as shown by the fact she defied MAGA Mike’s entreaty to avoid townhalls; but make no mistake, she’s a hard-right Trump and DOGE supporter. And despite being an adulthood immigrant herself, she’s pro-border wall, pro-ICE, and anti-immigrant.

    So yeah, even though Indiana is a deep red state, she’s out of sync with her constituents on the issues raised in the townhall, notably DOGE cuts to Medicaid etc., but unlike most Republicans she has enough brass to stand up and take it from a hostile crowd of constituents. That doesn’t make her admirable, though. Even by Indiana standards, her political positions suck.

    So now there are fewer shares available for the public to own, and you gotta get while you can! That’s what I’m doing.

    What you’re doing, very publicly, is proving you cannot afford to purchase a round lot of any company that isn’t listed on the pink sheets, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    What you’re doing is proving that no matter how financially destitute an individual might be after a failed career, (s)he can dabble in the stock market.

    It’s certainly entertaining.

  28. 28

    @26 Just bought 400 shares of Nvidia as a fun little side bet to liven things up a bit. Could it go down? Sure, but it’s a relatively small piece of my portfolio so I’m not risking much.

    “Round lot?” Isn’t that 100 shares? I usually don’t trade in such small quantities, my trades typically are hundreds of shares at a time to make buying and selling worth my while.

    Just sayin’. Us serious capitalists don’t play around like you.

    Helpfully, Elmo has identified on his Nazi Group Chat platform who the recipient of his $1,000,000 bribe to help steal a state supreme court election is.

    Scott Ainsworth of Green Bay Wisconsin was featured with a DOUCHE employee holding a giant, prop check in his driveway.
    The Wisconsin Attorney General has filed suit to stop the payment.

    Elon won’t be able to reimburse Scott for the expenses he will now endure resulting from his sudden global infamy as a willing enabler of the destruction of democracy. That’s not fair.
    But that’s just a consequence. Conservatives used to believe in consequences.

    Trump decided his party couldn’t risk Elise Stefanik’s House seat in a special election, so he pulled her nomination as U.N. ambassador. What then followed is at least two other Republicans approached about the job have turned him down, and White House staffers are having a hard time finding a taker.

    That’s a safe district for Republicans in a safe state.
    I look at that crowd and I see nothing but comfortable, older white people, few of whom perform any paying work.
    I’m sure there would have been some effort made to turnout non-MAGA voters to challenge the Rep. But this is suburban Indiana. C’mon. And when aksed about firing Secretary YEAGERDOG (WOOP!) every voter in the room stands and cheers at the top of their lungs. And I get to watch the blood actually curdling in Rep. Spartz’s veins as that booing and jeering just washes over her in wave after wave. Just ten weeks after the inauguration.

    I love the ballsy defiance. It’s a magnificent display. I even saw MAGA Mike threatening to shut down some of the federal circuits and maybe reorganize the entire federal judiciary the other day.
    I giggled a little bit thinking about it.

    Throwing judicial ‘shade’. Saying something is harming the youth without any, you know, actual evidence, is not reason to make law. Re: Florida passing an age limit on social media

    State of Florida: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

    THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons.

    Judge also questions what about the age of 16 makes them LESS susceptible or is the law based just on feelings.

    And then the judge is just trolling counsel for the State:

    But invoking the “it’s commonly known” — I mean, it was commonly known that masks would prevent, potentially, the spread of COVID, but apparently that was fake news. So, I mean, I don’t understand how the “commonly known” helps you.

    COMPUTER & COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION v. UTHMEIER

  44. 44

    This week’s Barrons magazine says “rural America sent Trump back to the White House” and now “farmers are at the trade war’s front lines.” They’re caught in a vise between retaliatory tariffs on agricultural exports and “rising costs for everything from labor to fertilizer.” And then there’s this tidbit:

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture in February fired 6,000 employees as part of the rapid downsizing of the federal government led by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Some of the employees who were cut studied infectious diseases and pests that could decimate U.S. crops. In response to some farmers’ concerns, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins this month said the department would bring many of those researchers back.

    You know what? If I was one of those fired employees, and was making progress on lining up another job, I wouldn’t go back. The federal government is now an undependable employer you can’t plan to have a career with.

    Even worse, when they fire you, they’ll ruin your professional reputation and compromise your ability to find other employment by falsely claiming you were fired for “poor performance” in order to get around legal impediments to laying you off.

    And even if I went back to put food on the table, I’d keep looking for another job. Maybe even in Canada. There soon may be an agricultural export boom up north to fill the vacuum left by American farmers who no longer have export markets for their crops.

  45. 45

    If Trump has any solution at all for farmers, it’s giving them handouts of taxpayer money. Instead of putting them on taxpayer funded welfare, why not just let them grow and sell crops?

    Trump tells NBC in a new interview he “couldn’t care less” if auto companies raise prices and adds that he hopes they do raise their prices.

  49. 49

    @46 Yes, he wants to force us to drive American cars, even if they’re overpriced junk.

    By the way, do any U.S. automakers still make cars? General Motors doesn’t unless you can afford a Cadillac. Ford and Dodge, a Stellantis brand, don’t unless you count the Mustang and Charger as a passenger cars. Stellantis offers other cars, but they’re all European brands.

    So if you’re forced to buy American, you’re left with pickups, SUVs, crossovers, and vans. Even if you just want a Toyota or Honda sedan, you’re fucked. When a Camry costs as much as a Mustang, you might as well just sell the kids when it’s time to buy your next car.

    Looks like a temporary solution to Amtrak Cascades rolling stock shortage caused by Amtrak pulling the Horizon coaches over corrosion issue has been found. On a railfan Facebook group, extra coaches have been spotted on the Cardinal and Lake Shore Limited, being switched at Chicago onto Train 7 bound for Seattle. Usual way Amtrak moves extra rolling stock to Seattle.So in the next few days, the Horoizons will be on the front of Amtrak 8 headed East.That will make the Empire Buulder’s nocturnal visit to Spokane interesting. I’ve observed the rendezvous with 28 from Portland a few times, 28 tends to get to Spokane first, where the locomotive has to be removed, and 8 overtakes it on the adjoining track, and the conductor has to guide the engineer over the radio to back up and couple to the rear coach of 28. 8 is going to be a few cars longer for a few days.

    These are Amfleet coaches, while even older, I’ll give them a pass. They were some of the last coaches built by Budd. They were reliable.

    They are already preparing his exit:

    In an interview with Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier”, Elon Musk said that he was confident his DOGE could find $1 trillion in savings, slimming current total federal spending levels of about $7 trillion down to $6 trillion. Musk, who is also the world’s richest man, was designated by the White House as a “special government employee,” which caps his work at 130 days. That means his period leading the DOGE operation could finish as soon as the end of May.

    He was already forced to strip mine value out of his phony AI company to cover his losses on his ruinous devaluation of Twitter.
    The goal of progressives for 2025 is to systematically destroy the value of Tesla. Dry up Musk’s sources of finance and we eliminate his source of power and influence. Other plutocrats seeing his ruin unfold will stay away.

    53,
    Biggest picture of all economically is the complete collapse of any form of forward-looking economic guidance thanks to the constantly shifting “feels” and “butt hurtz” of Fat Hitler.

    Cowardly, groveling business leaders have no choice but to pretend that it’s all very normal and “really quite good” that they are sidelining investments because they can’t know from one day to the next what things are going to cost. And without investment growth grinds to a halt.

    The natural tendency is for economic forecasting to be slightly biased in favor of optimism, based on the rational actor theory which assumes that market makers with access to the same data will respond in ways seeking their own interests. That assumption fails with Fat Hitler because he is not rational, he is incapable of comprehending the data, and he rejects any advice that doesn’t reinforce his biases and ratify his grievances.

  56. 56

    Fat Hitler’s golf outings are averaging over $10 million per month in direct costs to the taxpayers. Of course, once again he’s on vacation in Flordia this weekend.

    61,
    Like many fascists, The Nazi Fucktard is frustrated and confused by the this movement to destroy the Tesla brand. They aren’t getting the street fights they are hoping for.

    That’s because the organizers are disciplined, conscientious, and careful. They know that their efforts to organize are subject to monitoring and disruption by fascists like The Nazi Fucktard. So they keep their communications limited, and their operations organized and on a tight time schedule. This is actually generating some complaints from among regular American citizens yearning to take part who don’t know how to get the details. But the movement is not about memes and publicity. It’s about destroying the stock value that props up a Nazi oligarch.

    The Nazi Fucktard and his buddies are all having a sad today because their U-haul trucks full of khaki dipshits went to the wrong locations and showed up an hour after the event ended.

    And the greatest irony of this is that, despite the complete absence of any underlying evidence to support these kidnappings, these cases will be decided on procedural grounds. The record indicates very clearly that the administration is just going out and grabbing people to create photo ops and deportation theater and to fill quota numbers issued by Stephen Miller.

They folded like a cheap suit. They made it clear that Paul Weiss not only won’t fight for its clients, it won’t fight for itself.”[43] Harvard Law School lecturer Deepak Gupta similarly asked, “Would you want to be represented by a law firm that can’t even stand up for itself? A law firm that might sell you out to the federal government to save its own skin?”[44] Retired US Circuit Court of Appeals judge J. Michael Luttig (a Republican) wrote, “Paul Weiss chose to cower before the powerful and sell out its firm and the nation’s legal profession to the President.”[45]

    “The WHCA board has unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year,” wrote Eugene Daniels, the association’s president, in a letter Saturday to members that was obtained by multiple media outlets.

    “At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists,” he continued.

    Ruffin was announced in early February as the featured headliner for the April 26 dinner, with Daniels himself telling Politico at the time that “Amber was immediately at the top of my list” of candidates, and that he was “thrilled and honored she said yes.”

    @86 While we exercised restraint about calling them Nazis for decades, they never tired of calling us “communists.” That’s been going on since the ’40s, maybe longer.

    Even so, I think “fascists” may be a more accurate term than “Nazis,” because they haven’t deported people they don’t like to concentration camps or carried out mass executions, although they’ve threatened these things for many years.

    Now that they’re snatching foreign students with valid visas off the streets for their nonviolent political views, labeling them “terrorists,” and rendering them to detention facilities thousands of miles away, I guess the question now is when it will pick up speed and expand to include citizens.

    Hey speaking of influences, the Right-O-Sphere is passing around an AI image with the words

    “Ford to open 4 plants in the United States with 5000 high paying Jobs.

    Now tell me Tariffs don’t work”

    Ford CEO the day after Tariffs on cars announced:

    “We have no plans to open any new factories.”

    President Donald Trump said he was “very angry” and “pissed off” when Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership ….

    “If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault — which it might not be — but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,” Trump said ….

    “That would be that if you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States,” Trump said. “There will be a 25% tariff on all oil, a 25- to 50-point tariff on all oil.”

    There are lots of things I could say, but I’ll merely point out Trump is so financially illiterate he doesn’t know what a “point” is. (Spoiler: In financial speak, a “point” is 1/100th of a percent.)

    because they haven’t deported people they don’t like to concentration camps

    Untrue.

    They just aren’t being condemned in the media for having done so.
    Undoubtedly by now some, perhaps many, have died as a result of their torture and abuse.

    MAGA/GOP have set for themselves a target of over 9 million.
    Mathematically it wouldn’t be possible to come anywhere close to those numbers without implementing some kind of system for mass disposal of bodies.

    You can quible over semantics and precision of language if you think that’s more important. But these are people who dress as Nazis, salute each other as Nazis, constantly resort to rhetoric and ideas stolen directly from Nazis, and honestly embrace for themselves goals that are indistinguishable from Nazis.

    President Donald Trump on Sunday did not dismiss the idea of pursuing a third term in the White House, despite the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution prohibiting it, claiming that “there are methods” to achieving this and emphasizing that he was “not joking.”

    https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/30/politics/trump-third-term-methods/index.html

    No, there are not, and he’s ignorant of how legal interpretation works. Courts interpret statutes and constitutional provisions according to their intent, not their literal wording.

    When Congress and the required number of states adopted the 22nd Amendment, they intended no future president would hold the office for more than 10 years. You can’t get around this, there is no workaround consistent with the 22nd Amendment.

    He could still serve a third term if the Supreme Court decides enforcing the 22nd Amendment is a “political question” for the people or Congress to decide, over which courts have no jurisdiction (it came close to doing that with the insurrection clause); but if it does that, we might as well not have a Constitution or courts.

    Joe Walsh Q at WalshFreedom • Mar 28

    Bcuz I used to be a Trump supporter, I engage with Trump supporters every day. Always have. Four Trump supporters today told me the exact same thing: “This is not what I voted for.” 4 random Trump supporters. Just today.
    Slowly, I’m hearing this more & more from his supporters.

    Yes it is. I’m sorry but fuck these people, this is exactly what you voted for, we tried to tell you this. You just didn’t expect it to hurt you.

    “Ford to open 4 plants in the United States with 5000 high paying Jobs.

    And like liberals wouldn’t applaud this. The issue would be, that it would be too good to be true without some type of subsidy, like bailout of farmers.

    Green energy subsidy = bad.

    Bailout farmers subsidy = crickets

    PRESIDENT VANCE: You know, I like this job, so I’m keeping it.

    STILL VICE PRESIDENT TRUMP: A deal’s a deal, dammit!

    STILL PRESIDENT VANCE: The people elected me, not you. See you at my State of the Union!

    Small Trump-Supporting Community of Emmitsburg Maryland Shocked by National Fire Academy Closure
    All in person classes have been cancelled. The DOGE spokesperson said. “We are only authorizing travel for mission critical programs. This isn’t one.”

    Voting for Republicans caused that.

    No, a realization that there’s no reason for FEMA to pay travel expenses and tuition to train local fire fighters, and cover their Hooter’s and other adult entertainment expenses in the process, caused this.

    It just took Republicans to bring this misuse of federal taxpayer dollars to light.

    Seattle can pay for its own training. So can Spokane.
