    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.

    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.

    @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.

  21. 21

    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?”

    @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.

    Shedeur Sanders Fan Sues NFL for Emotional Distress Over Sanders’ Late Draft Pick

    This, of course, is Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s only path to becoming a millionaire.

    As a plaintiff, not as an attorney. He realized in his early 40s that his legal skills would never earn him that much. And he validates that truth, every day, on this blog.

    Speaking of libraries, this arrived today:

    Why is the Trump administration attacking libraries?

    Rick Larsen

    From:
    campaign@ricklarsen.org
    To:

    And Rick wants us taxpayers to give free shit to penny-pinchers like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit:

    Fast forward a few decades, and rural libraries like the one I went to growing up continue to be a critical resource in Northwest Washington. In some cases, a library may be the only source of free internet in a community, and a place to borrow tools or resources beyond just books.

    Although I will admit that it’s worth the money to watch Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit make Monday morning financial decisions based on something he read the previous Saturday in Barron’s, that everyone else read and made their financial decisions concerning the previous Friday, while the markets were open.

    Small wonder Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit finds millionaire status to be unreachable. He might lose money on his trades, but hey, at least the information costing him that money was free at the library!

    “In an email reported by Politico, Chris Senn, Federal Aviation Administration assistant administrator for government and industry affairs, said the Army helicopter “took a scenic route around the Pentagon versus proceeding directly from the west to the heliport.”

    Senn said the helicopter violated safety standards and required air traffic controllers to order two commercial jetliners to perform “go-around maneuvers,” aborting their landings and returning on another approach.”

    Increasingly the view is emerging within both the pentagon and the FAA that the 89th Airlift Wing is both overwhelmed by the increased duties of flying seeminly daily golf jukets, sightseeing tours, and every one of Kash Patel’s most recent club conquests around one of the busiest air spaces on earth, and unable to effectively deny White House demands for special treatment.

    Unlike many people in Washington D.C., a town full of lawyers, Tom Homan, Trump’s “border czar,” isn’t a lawyer. He’s an ex-cop who likes to flaunt his ignorance of constitutional and legal rights.

    A couple weeks ago, Homan threatened AOC with prosecution for holding webinars to teach immigrants their legal rights. At a town hall yesterday, AOC told him to fuck off. She also sent a letter to Pam Bondi, asking her to educate him about the First Amendment.

If Homan wasn’t such a jackass to begin with, I’d almost suspect her of paying him to do this shit. However, he doesn’t need to be bribed to help her political career; he’s dumb enough to do it for free.

    It appears “Eric” owns a courier and delivery service in the Atlanta area and lives here. A quick search of Gwinnett County records might come up with a last name, but I won’t do that to him.

    A federal magistrate will make quick work of this. Lack of standing, failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted, etc. He’ll be lucky if the NFL doesn’t ask for Rule 11 reparations.

I don’t worship it. I’m thankful for what I have and great-full for it.

    But if Dumbfuck would like me to check it again I could confirm it again.

    @59 He doesn’t want confirmation. Like all Trumpers, he believes what makes him feel good. Like prejudging Abrego Garcia’s guilt or innocence, evidence doesn’t enter into it.

    After the last couple months he’s probably become more sensitive about making promises he knows he won’t keep.

    That’s after spending the first 100 days keeping the promises he made during the campaign.

    A near-majority of Americans voted for this. 31 states and a congressional district in a 32nd voted for this.

    Rasmussen says 62% of Hispanics approve of his performance. Hispanics with businesses and jobs want the illegal alien trash taken out, too.

    What garbage can did you fish that statistic out of?

    Recent polling data indicates a decline in President Donald Trump’s approval ratings, particularly among Hispanic voters. A Pew Research Center poll shows Trump’s approval among Hispanics has dropped to 27%, down from 46% in November.

    The cost of Cadet Bone Spurs’ birthday parade?

    Defense officials told NBC News that the estimated cost could be as high as $45 million, with individual Army units ultimately bearing the cost of the parade — which could potentially impact funds used for training. Trump said it would be worth it.

    Wearing masks.

    Another example of not having the slightest clue what kids are like..

    Or how literally anything works…

    Trump: “I don’t think a beautiful baby girl that’s 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls … they don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have five.”

    Which kid has 250 pencils?

    Exhibit A: any Parade, trade show, community park event, scholastic book fair, scout visit to a firehouse they give kids pencils. Logo pencils, dinosaurs, unicorns, fairies (the ones conservatives are ok with), trucks, valentine hearts. Kids get free pencils all the time and they don’t end up with 250 of them.

    Exhibit B: Dixon Ticonderoga. The king of pencils. The #2 of oval filling tests.

    Made in the USA. 12 for $10 dollars

    A true American legend.

    And buying stuff is what keeps it all going. The Walmarts, the Staples, the Amazon, the Safeways, the Fred Meyers the Jesus Hobby the Dollar Generals and all the jobs that go with that.

    And when Donnie says beautiful 11 year old baby girl he’s dreaming of Epstein Island.

    Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

    REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ! For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders. We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

    Thinks Pelican Bay is a nice sounding place to take a 15 year old for a snowcone.

    Also doesn’t know that Alcatraz is a dedicated Historical Landmark and not part of the any of the entities he thinks can get it going again.

    Weird how Dumbfuck doesn’t remember how many of the protesters DID have masks on.

    You’re right, I don’t. But a couple of cities didn’t see a substantial increase in the number of cases afterward, and Seattle was one of them. I will certainly consider the possibility that the masks are a big reason why, if they were worn by a lot of the Seattle protest attendees. I don’t know.

    Other possible reasons Seattle did better:

    • Protest attendees had already caught it and cleared it, so were immune.
    • The most at-risk in Seattle didn’t attend the protests. Seattle is the most-educated city in the nation, and maybe some of the Seattle libbies acted like it that weekend.
    • Seattle cases contracted due to the protests didn’t get reported as well, due to embarrassment over the reason why (I’ll admit I made this up, but if you had gone to the protest and then come down with The Wuhan 3-5 days later you would know why and you would be embarrassed about it, wouldn’t you? I mean, some libbies do possess the ability to express shame, don’t they?)

    Probably not throats. But some careers could certainly be ruined. Which would be an excellent start.

    Dave Portnoy vows to ‘come for throats’ over vile antisemitic act at his Philadelphia Barstool bar

    An enraged Portnoy posted an ‘Emergency Press Conference’ video on Sunday after being informed that a light-up sign at the Barstool bar that said ‘F*** the Jews’ was spotted by his fans.
    …
    ‘Usually a great bar. You know, bottle service, people buy drinks, you get a sign. There was a sign yesterday that said, “F*** the Jews”,’ Portnoy said.

    ‘I’ve been shaking. I’ve been so mad for the last two hours. Like I instantly got on, this is why the Emergency Press Conference is late, because I was so over the top.’
    …
    Portnoy said that both of the waitresses responsible for holding up the sign have been fired and called one of them ‘one of the dumbest f***ing humans I’ve ever talked to in my life.’

    Nah. It couldn’t have been Welfare Queen YLB. Could it?

    Video of the sign was posted onto an Instagram story of an account that appears to have been deleted.
    …
    ‘I had this kid basically in tears, turning state witness to me, rolling on the people who there,’ he said.

    Philadelphia’s version of Andrew Villanueve, no doubt.

    @ 119

    It doesn’t matter how practical or expensive it would be to make Alcatraz a prison again, or whether it makes any logical sense, because Trump’s gonna do it if he wants to, dammit.

    Probably a whole lot less than paying the student loan obligations of people who have no need for this to be done for them at the expense of taxpayers like Welfare Queen YLB’s two fucked kids.

    Especially since they’ll be paying the tab long after the failed gambit to buy the 2024 election for Democrats.

    If only there was a government entity, perhaps one originally created by the opposite party, that could be used to make drastic changes in government spending.

    “We are operating at a fiscal deficit now that is unsustainable over a very long period of time. We don’t know whether that means two years or 20 years, because there’s never been a country like the United States, but this is something that can’t go on forever,” Buffett said.

    While Buffett did not discuss DOGE specifically, he did say it would be a difficult but important job to cut the budget deficit.

    “It’s a job I don’t want, but it’s a job I think should be done, and Congress does not seem to be doing it,” Buffett said.

    So it should be done by some other entity.

    @120 “Which explains why the election was not a close one.”

    Trump 49.8%, Harris 48.3%, I guess it depends on how you define “close.” You can read up on that, and why a mere 0.15% of the votes determined the 2024 outcome, here.

  132. 132

    @122 “Say, libbies, what will lower oil prices do for the US economy?”

    A depression for sure, but even a recession could do the trick. So would another pandemic. All of these are possibilities under the current administration.

  134. 134

    @125 Well, you don’t get there by cutting taxes for rich people, spending millions on golf weekends and useless military parades, or sinking money into crumbling 115-year-old relic prisons, do you? One glance at the Republican budget proposals tells you they’re unserious about deficits.

  136. 136

    @132 Trump wants to outlaw investigations of police brutality and protests against police brutality.

    He “doesn’t know” if he must uphold the Constitution, but he clearly doesn’t believe in due process or free speech, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he gave cops a license to kill.

    Donnie give an inteview about how Prices are down EVERYWHERE!

    Putting aside that the lowest price of gas in the nation is $.80 higher that he claims three states are currently…

    Eggs dozen
    January, $4.96
    March, $6.22

    Ground Beef Pound
    Jan, $5.54
    March $5.79

    Rice, Pound
    Jan $1.01
    March $1.04

    None of that involves the tariffs which is why Donnie is talking about dolls.

    Barbie, as has been in the press, are 100% made in countries now subject to tariffs.

    Despite the skittish and volatile stock market, a bigger problem is actually the bond market, although it has settled down a little lately.
