“He made $10m a year for telling 29 million Americans why they had to pay United Health $7000 a year to then pay some more each doctor visit AND deny claims as often as possible so that’s going to be hard to narrow down.”
If we have a fair coin and flip the coin 34 times in a row, there is a 97% likelihood that there will be at least one tail in the result set.

Sonia Sotomayor read this and now wonders why the fuck she even still tries. Being a Wise Latina, she recognizes that there is very little difference between 6-3 and 7-2.
And that if she retires (or worse) her Latinx seat will quickly be filled by Ted Cruz, who will be confirmed 99-0 because every other sitting senator would kill to get him out of their chamber.
Three – count ’em, three – judges on the Nutty Ninth delivered a smackdown to the increasingly silly Dow Constantine of such weight that Constantine won’t waste any more taxpayer money on the false notion that the federal government does not have standing to sue to enforce federal policy.
And on the false notion that there is no legal effect behind the EO issued by Constantine, even though it pressured companies to comply with the ol’ “Nice business ya got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.”
No concurrences. No dissents. Three judges speaking with a single voice, even the one appointed by Clinton.
Dow Constantine violated the Constitution. The title of his EO is “Prohibition on immigrant deportations.”. He should wait until he’s governor before pulling this kind of silly shit again.

Tobias called the notion that the 9th Circuit is liberal “dated.” Arthur Hellman, a federal courts scholar at University of Pittsburgh Law School, said the picture of where the court stands in relation to other circuits has become muddier.
“The reputation is certainly deserved based on the history of the last 40 years or so,” Hellman said Monday. “It’s been more liberal, by which we mean more sympathetic to habeas petitioners, civil rights plaintiffs, anti-trust cases, immigration cases. But it’s less of an outlier now than it was.”

One of those listed is a VP at JPM Chase. In bank-speak “vice president” is the same as “assistant branch manager”.
If there’s any relevance to the neo-Nazi allegation he won’t be there long. If he’s still got his job a month from now, it’s the same bullshit libbie-speak that spawned Literally Hitler.
“requiring twelve year old girls die from an ectopic pregnancy resulting from daddy-rape.”
yeah, baby, ectopic. know a lot about that.

I pardoned Dick for all crimes real or imagined from 1969 – 1974.
“Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.”
I was his last “trick”.
It’s impossible to play golf where I’m at now. Even “rolling” is tough. Those falls I took. Screwed me up.
Would we find a cowardly troll here?

Standing by.
@21 I’ll gladly supervise that test! It will be the toast of the magat world.

We were the best of drinkin’ buddies.
The court he calls ‘Nutty Ninth’ adheres to precedent and wording.
Now do the fifth that is passing brand new legal theories up to SCOTUS to be rubber stamped based on, “Well fuck it. I didn’t LIKE that part of the Constitution anyway.”

It doesn’t matter if anyone in the government “likes” or “dislikes” the Constitution. That founding document is there to rein-in government and to make sure government employees are respectful and remember who’s paying their salaries, ultimately.
@25,
Nah.
@ 19
No PPP. No employees.
My COVID-related payout was all of those naked puts I sold in previous months, which resulted in those shares put to me on 3/20/20. There went all my cash and suddenly I had margin loans. A whole lot of margin loans. I was forced to buy Oracle at $62. I was forced to buy Apollo at $40. And a shitload of other companies at deeply albeit temporarily depressed prices Woe was me.
But then the market roared back. And on the way I kept selling naked puts and collected volatility-priced premiums.
I got to sell Pfizer at $55 during that brief period of time a year later when the government was pouring tens of billions into its shitty vaccines. I had held that dog for 20 years before that. Pretty sure Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit was the one who bought my shares.
Who needs PPP, when you’re forced to buy shares at roughly the same moment that the panic selling reaches its peak?
So. much. winning.
@ 25
… remember who’s paying their salaries, ultimately.
In the federal government’s case it’s Welfare Queen YLB’s fucked kids doing the paying.
I read today that the University of Michigan has spent $250 million on DEI over the past decade. A quarter of a billion dollars to amplify racial disharmony.

You know, if you merely fail to copy the line that has the timestamp you can make it look like there isn’t one, once it’s pasted.
Democrats are wishing there was a DNC primary. There was a DNC primary. It lasted about 70 hours. It excluded the smaller states from meaningful participation.
And the DNC presumably was planning this as a fallback for months prior to Bi-Done’s announcement that he is too cognitively disabled in addition to being congenitally stupid to seek a second term.

Praise jeebus.. MAGA forever. Uhhh.. Jeebus won’t look kindly on those who shirk their debts.
Every single Democrat and indy senator voted to extend PPP in March 2021. There was no crisis then.
Unhappy that a small place with lodging and restaurants was government-subsidized to keep its staff employed even though there was no work for them and no income for their employer? Captain Whidbey didn’t run a take-out service for revenue. Captain Whidbey was dead in the water.
Pick someone else to harass. Small businesses whose employees were paid to do nothing did not enrich the business owners by taking PPP funds. Instead, they paid the funds to their staff, which was a requirement for loan forgiveness. Pick an attorney or someone like a CPA (or investment professional). Someone who could generate revenue AND pay for their staff without the help from the government AND get PPP money.
You liberals can do the stupidest things sometimes.
HA libbies who choose to criticize PPP should have a deeper understanding of PPP than the Welfare Queen YLB-level of understanding.

Poor students who qualified for Pell grants are on the hook for their loans. Sick family member? Have to leave school?

So get Congress to forgive all of that student loan debt. The 2021 Congress could have done it. It was all Democrat-controlled.
Congress made the PPP loans forgivable. Congress can do the same for student loans.
Go for it, Welfare Queen YLB.
Why isn’t anyone decrying the compensation package of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson?

This would be the time to remind you during his tenure as CEO United Health rolled out AI scoring that resulted in MILLIONS of denial of claims, most of them eventually paid but ONLY if the insured had the time or means to appeal the claim over a long period of time.
Getting paid handsomely to kill or bankrupt your customers is quite a thing.
There is a class action lawsuit underway over all the AI denied claims filed last year.
lol.. A bunch of red states have voted for higher minimum wage..
What happened “careful for what you wish for lefties”?
Oh that’s ok – that’s some version of state’s rights.. like maga women splitting their tickets between orange man and their own bodily autonomy..

Suppose you loaned a young person the money to buy a car, and that young person totally wrecks the car. Is it OK for the youngster to NOT repay the loan to you? After all, the kid no longer has the car, so why should he or she repay the money to you?
@49.. Are you high?
Covid wrecked a lot of bidnesses so the gubmint made loans with easy terms..
Loans are supposed to be paid back..
Way more money was lent to business and then FORGIVEN than was helicoptered to taxpayers who went online to the IRS website and asked for relief funds.
No mention of ANY of that and for some silly reason you’re fixated on the poorest of students being let off the hook for SOME of their debt.
you’re a miserable asshole.
@1 The rapacious CEO of a rapacious corporation got whacked by a professional hitman. Who could be behind this? Why, almost anyone. The question is who got to him first.
