    Donnie “If you don’t ban trans athletes we will cut all your school funding.”

    Governor Janet Mills “We’ll see you in court.”

    Donnie “Here is my executive order stripping school lunch from your schools through the FDA”

    Governor Janet Mills “ Here is a lawsuit”

    Donnie “Fold”

    Didn’t even make it to the flop, Donnie. What weak ass hand were you holding?

    @2. I don’t see a reason for the convicted criminal to grant Santos a pardon. He can’t do anything for him.

    Now we all get to enjoy the Nazi Fucktard’s typical MAGA level of ignorance as he misunderstands the party spectrum in Oz and celebrates the Liberal Party loss. 👍🤡🙄

    5)Also how they vote. Although American RCV advocates don’t suggest adopting the Australian version, where unless all candidates are ranked, ballot is spoiled. Although it has allowed parties, independents to leverage there voters to get like minded candidates over the line vs unlike minded ones. There was a seat in Tasmania where the Liberals backs the Labor candidate over one of the Teal Independents.

    The quality of the occupancy of the American Embassy in Canberra has gone downhill this year. Although in 2023 the ambassador and her son took a swim in the Solomons for a good reason. 80 years earlier her father was doing the same, with wounded sailors from his PT Boat. He later gave the Australian Coast Watcher an invitation to the White House.

    So add ‘Bragging about bribing the United States President via press release to the things a Republican Congress is totally not interested in investigating.

    WASHINGTON — An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as $20 million worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy — the precise sort of quid-pro-quo arrangement that corruption experts warned Trump was encouraging when he unveiled his venture.

    Freight Technologies Inc. CEO Javier Selgas said in a Wednesday news release that buying Trump coin would be “an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.”

    Prosecutor declines to file charges against man who fired gun near protest
    Banks sent out his analysis of the evidence and the law in a memo Friday morning.

    Also, Banks found no evidence that the shooter, identified as Roane, shot into the air, stared at the protesters menacingly or purposely tried to intimidate people, as people have alleged on social media and elsewhere. In fact, Banks wrote that he found little evidence that protesters were frightened at the time.

    Banks concluded that video taken during the protest showed that “none of the demonstrators appear to have taken any defensive or protective maneuvers in response to the gunshots,” he wrote.

    “To the contrary, they continued to hold their signs up, barely reacting to the gunshots,” he wrote. “In Ms. Jensen’s second video, recorded after the shooting, she says that in response to the shooting she ducked but ‘nobody else did.’”

    The guy investigated puts up with a protest each and every Saturday across the road from where he lives. This day he decided to make some noise of his own. He fired into a berm in a direction away from the protesters, with his house between him and them. The protesting Karens – well, one octagenarian among them – didn’t like someone other than themselves making noise on a Saturday morning.

    Also part of investing: Being duped – or not – by silly talk about the “Tesla Takedown”.

    Buffett downplays recent market volatility as ‘really nothing,’ saying it’s part of investing

    Buffett pointed out that there were three occasions over the last six decades where Berkshire Hathaway stock declined 50%. He noted that there was no fundamental issue with the company during these periods.

    “I don’t get fearful by things that other people … are afraid of in a financial way,” he said. “Let’s say Berkshire went down 50% next week, I would regard that as a fantastic opportunity, and it wouldn’t bother me in the least.”

    Don’t listen to shrill pronouncements from the likes of Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit or QoS McHillbilly.

    Do look into options. The money to be made is best when the fear is greatest.

    Germany hits back at Marco Rubio after he panned labeling of AfD as ‘extremist’

    “This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.”

    @1 The most interesting part of The Hill’s story on this is the following excerpt:

    “I’m complying with state and federal law,” Mills told Trump after he asked if the governor would comply with his executive order.

    “We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get federal funding,” Trump told her at the time.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/education/5280442-maine-trump-admin-settle-lawsuit-over-frozen-funds-after-transgender-athlete-battle/

    I think Trump genuinely believes his word, opinion, or interpretation is the law. Not the plain wording of constitutional provisions and statutes, or two centuries of jurisprudence, or court rulings on his EOs, but what he says. It takes a breathtaking combination of arrogance, ignorance, hubris, and megalomania to get there.

    That’s not the only GOP bullshit polluting the air we breathe. There’s more:

    Few lines are more central to the congressional Republican leadership’s elevator pitch than the idea that we will get major savings by cutting Medicaid fraud, not Medicaid benefits.

    This sales pitch is no small deal to this White House. A president seeking to pass his tax bill with slim congressional majorities could be tanked by a handful of Republicans afraid they’ll lose seats … if Republicans are seen as paying for tax cuts to the most well-off by cutting Medicaid benefits for hard-pressed workers, children, seniors or families of children with disabilities.

    Which is exactly what will happen.

    No wonder the White House and Republican leadership are desperate to claim that there is a large pile of fraudulent and wasteful Medicaid spending that could be eliminated without forcing states to cut benefits or hurt rural hospitals. Facts, however, are not kind to this claim.

    https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/5279695-medicaid-fraud-republican-cuts/

    I could go on about how Republicans are living in a fantasy world tariffs, climate change, foreign relations, and lots of other things, but one sentence covers all the bases:

    “Republicans lie about everything.”

    @2 “Wonder how soon Santos will receive his pardon?”

    First you have to ask, “What’s in it for Trump?”

  24. 24

    @13 And Republicans screeched about Hunter selling influence he didn’t possess for $5 million or less …

    I’m not saying there isn’t corruption on both sides. All I’m saying is it’s because of things like this that Republicans have no credibility when they point fingers at others.

    @15 Didn’t prosecutors also decline to file human trafficking charges against Abrego Garcia after that traffic stop? Why yes, I believe they did. But some folks have decided he’s guilty anyway.

  27. 27

    @16 You obviously missed the latest court rulings (see, e.g., Perkins Coie EO reversal). Protests don’t have a direct impact on policy, although over time they can influence the political calculations of office holders. But today, given a president who’s violating the Constitution and/or laws with nearly his every utterance and pen stroke, the real action is in the courts.

    I don’t need to catalog Trump’s court reverses here; you can read news. Suffice to say a president who thinks his word is law is getting shot down everywhere, including by judges he appointed. We don’t have one-man rule in this country, no matter what he likes to believe.

    @17 “Don’t listen to shrill pronouncements from the likes of Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit …”

    The shrillest pronouncements I’ve made is my stocks are up this year. But yeah, since you bring the issue up, Trump isn’t good for the financial markets, especially the bond market, nor the dollar’s status as a reserve currency, and global trust in Treasuries.

    By the way, CNN reported this morning that Buffett announced he’ll retire from Berkshire Hathaway at the end of this year. Meanwhile, Ray Dalio is coming up with a new book next month; I almost ordered it from Amazon, but decided to put a hold on it at the library instead. Why pay to read what you can read for free? That’s what I pay library taxes for.

    … labeling of AfD as ‘extremist’

    “This is democracy.

    German “democracy”, apparently, is an unelected committee deciding a group it does not like is “extremist”, so that it can be turned over to another group of unelected people who will then pronounce said group ineligible to participate in the democratic electoral process.

    No, you pay them so that homeless addicts can shoot up in the public library bathrooms.

    I’ve been traveling so forgive me for not posting this yesterday, but: That Signal clone app for archiving messages that Mike Waltz has been using, TeleMessage? It’s unlicensed. Signal was unaware of its existence until they saw it in that Reuters photo. There’s no known security vetting.
