Yep, pretty sure the LA Fires are still ongoing (though likely lessened) despite attempts to hide it using the short attention span of media interest. That's probably not helping the Dems right now, what with Newsome's career literally being consumed in fire at the heart of their cultural centers.
All they caring about is ilegal filth.

Protecting the illegal filth.
 
Musk did that nazi salute on purpose. Doesn't bother me, but the question is was it to derail Trump and damage him via the media or give the media and the internet something stupid to bitch about while Trump actually gets to work?
Probably to show their hatred to South African culture as isn't that a normal army salute there?
 
Sadly, The ExKennedys came back and sued Jello Biafra because he wouldn't let them sell "Holiday in Cambodia" for a Levis Jeans commercial and didn't give them special extra large royalty checks from his barely alive Punk record label, Alternative Tentacles. A judge then found that despite having written the songs, sung the songs, and performed the songs with other band members and other bands, the songs were actually owned "by the concept and construct that is the Dead Kennedys band" and not Jello specifically. They then promptly replaced Jello after stealing his IP and got a different singer to make versions they can sell for advertisements. IIRC, the latest of which was a Toyota truck commercial ad.
Jesus, never even heard about this story...remember kids, by the time you have to show up in a courtroom, you lose. Don't end up in court.
 
Not happening unless Walz pardons, he's got both MN state and federal convictions; and someone here said he's better off in federal than state prison, I can't speak to that but federal pardon doesn't get him out, and it might not necessarily make things better for him.
IIRC he took a plea deal with the feds so his federal conviction would be served concurrently with his Floyd charge. I also think the fed charge was acting as a deterrent to stop him appealing his case because it wouldn't result in him searving a lower sentence.

Just Elon sperging Hanlon’s razor:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
It did work in Trump’s favor, though. Most of the discourse is on whether it was a Nazi salute or not, instead of Trump’s actions.
 
Given how incredibly long and drawn out the federal hiring process is I can promise this isn’t as big a deal as it seems. I highly doubt most of those jobs would have been properly filled during the next 90 days due to the nightmare hiring process that is currently in place. It sucks for those people because getting a job without nepotism in the government is a bitch assuming that’s the case for some of them.
Most federal jobs are internal hires anyways.
There is a good chance a number of people with their offers being rescinded are already employed and were playing the upwards game of musical chairs on USAjobs.

It's a direct response to Sam Hyde.
 
This second Trump term is exactly what I hoped it would be and this is only his first full day in office. A giant glorious middle finger to the Democrats, mainstream media, and other wack job liberals.
To cuck them. What can these bums do? Jack shit.
Once more the trolls will rule the nation and we will have lulz.
