All right, so the rumour mill is currently churning out claims, that DOGE would appoint Ron Paul to head the auditing of the Federal Reserve. Is there any indication this might be true or is it just regular Xitter/pol/ sperging?
I don't see what use Ron Paul would be in the technical aspects of auditing the fed, but he'd be a hell of a symbolic leader of that particular audit
 
I beleive this is the case where one of Musk's companies(don't recall which) was trying to give him his shareholder approved compensation, but a judge said it was too much.
Yes. Some activist leftist law firm got a guy with 9 shares (Tesla has millions) to object, and the judge, seeing a great opportunity to fuck Elon over -- she was the same one that forced him to buy Twitter after he tried to back out, rightfully pointing out it was mostly bots and thus not worth as much as he had offered -- declared the compensation package illegal.

Not illegal: The 3.5 billion dollar in legal fees the law firm then claimed Tesla/Elon owed them, again with the blessing of the judge. THAT was cut down to a mere 333 million on appeal.

It was a blatant, blatant violation of standards and precedent, specifically under the same legal theory of "fuck the enemies of the left" she used to force him to buy Twitter, and has caused a mass exodus from the state by corporations. In short, it's another instance of the left shooting themselves in the foot: Delaware's entire reason for being was to be a tax haven for corporations, but if some judge can declare the entire running of your corporation to be subject to judicial fiat, and you owe the activist rat fucks that pull the lolsuits on you billions with a capital B for the privilege of being fucked over without lube, then it's not worth it.

Compensation package, btw, was something like "If I can make the value of your company go up 1200% you give me 12% the current worth of the company, if I can't, I get nothing." He did, but they said that was too much money. Remembering that this was while Tesla was actively being targeted for stock price subversion via various jews on Wall Street.

When people say red states are dumb I'm glad we can't point to California and Delaware as states showing Ton's of failure.
 
lol, so that judicial order not only has a TRO against DOGE working on the Treasury data, it includes a demand that they immediately destroy all data they've already collected since Trump was elected. (A)

You know, temporarily permanently destroy it.

Still no law or legal standard cited, this is literally just a judge going "oh shit no you can't do that, we'll think of a reason why after you start paying us again."

This is all from an motion (Ex Parte?) where the Trump admin and DOGE wasn't even allowed to state their case before the TRO went in place. And they did it on the weekend so there would be no responding to it until Monday.

The TRO even purports to bar the Treasury Secretary himself from looking at the data

It's pure bullshit and will never survive the Supreme Court, if it even goes that far. It will be emergency appealed for a stay and win that while the issue is being fully litigated, it will have stopped DOGE for a whole two days over the weekend

I've been enjoying the desperate attempts at delaying it. You only have 1441 days to go!

Theorycrafting: They're hoping the autists at DOGE kept working, so they can claim contempt of court and put the kids in jail for the next ~4 years.

I asked the Twitter LLM about it, and these were the relevant bits.
  1. Legal and Judicial Review:
    • The case brought attention to how Delaware's Court of Chancery handles corporate disputes. The decision raised questions about judicial overreach versus protecting shareholder interests, fueling debates on whether state courts should have the power to retroactively alter or void corporate decisions like compensation packages. This could lead to a reevaluation of how much deference should be given to corporate boards by the judiciary.
  2. Shareholder Rights and Influence:
    • The ruling underscored the power of minority shareholders to challenge significant corporate decisions, potentially emboldening more shareholder activism. However, it also led to debates on whether such judicial actions undermine the democratic process where shareholders vote on matters like executive compensation. There's now a more pronounced discussion about the balance between judicial oversight and shareholder autonomy.
From what I can read into this, it means that there is now precedent in Delaware that decisions made by the shareholders of a company can be voided or changed depending on how a judge was feeling that day, or the whims of Johnny Fuckville with 1 share gumming up the works because he has time and money to burn. No wonder companies might be moving out, especially if Tesla doesn't challenge the ruling as a particular Fuck You and leaves it on the books as legal precedent with nobody else able to challenge it without case standing, which they don't presumably have.

Judges let off the government all day every day for not following judicial orders, at best somewhere down the road the appellate judge(s) get pissed and then the government complies with the original ruling. If this judge is so retarded as to rule contempt immediately and demand arrest and incarceration, the DOJ, which is responsible for enforcing contempt orders, would say they're in custody while they're in some DC hotel suite full of PCs still doing their thing, or DOJ would set up some Goodfellas situation for them with just as many PCs at the Federal Bureau of Prisons building in DC
 
It cost them $6 million to change the name in the first place btw, not sure how or why, I guess that's just government spending for you.

Bragg is an interesting guy, he was not a good general and his contemporaries and his men all hated him. They only named the base that because he was a general from NC. Imo they should rename it Fort Lee.
 
I can only hope appeals are granted immediately
the supreme court hates trump, roberts will take 3 years to deal with this.
I’ll be honest, I really, really don’t care about Kanye’s latest schizo rant. He’s politically irrelevant, and he really should just go away. His antics aren’t shocking anymore, and he just looks washed up.
something i found out recently, but his political sperging coincides with his release dates for his albums, for the most part, plus because vocal jews are all born in the 1980s its the zoomer equivalent of bands telling evangelicals to go fuck themselves back in the 1970s, plenty of controversy and the parents of your fanbase might get angry but you get plenty of cool points, which is why Kanye west had a #1 hit song this time last year despite his reputation.

its actually sort of neat in its own way, because very little of what Kanye says is stuff that the black community is going to be mad at, its mainly just stuff that pisses off the mainstream, like when Marilyn Manson might have said something bad about George Bush. Especially with how badly the mainstream media has turned on other rappers from his generation, Kanye deciding to instead go back to being more underground was a pretty smart move, like his recent releases as Y$ are apparently pretty good, the fact he got a #1 hit song on the charts despite all the "controversy" proves he made some smart moves with his persona and winning back his non-white fanbase, after being Mr.Kardashian for so long.
but never under estimate that crafty house nigger
the fact he only got around to it in 2014 means he isn't that crafty.
but will get tossed by SCOTUS. I can't see many judges willing to take the hit, but some will.
SCOTUS hates trump and will take their sweet time and the judges won't be effected, Nick Rekeita's parents baby him less than SCOTUS does these judges, between the abortion leak and the last couple years of fuckery in general its obvious Roberts is too spineless to do fucking anything.
He's "gay married" with 4 adopted "sons."
you do have to wonder what percentage of adopted kids are being adopted by fags, there's about half a million adopted children in the US at any given time and every gay marriage has like 6 of the fucking things, just from the articles posted on the farms i've counted like 50 adopted kids with gay parents. with how few gay people are married you'd assume way less kids would be adopted by them, but instead they seem like a third of adoption seekers.
The supreme court is full of conservatives that want these changes as well. It might take another few weeks but in the grand scheme of things that isn't that long
i genuinely hate you the most out of all the new users, you're so autistic
 
It’s great that Trump is going to give Elon’s people a way out of that nightmare shithole called South Africa.

The Boers who don’t take the offer ASAP are fucking RETARDED and I’m not going to pity them when they’re destoyed either by communism or feral blacks.
Most Boer families have lived in South Africa for almost 400 years. Technically longer if you include the tiny fraction of Boer DNA that is Khoisan. Nobody with roots that deep should ever have to involuntarily flee their homeland. The only solution is to partition South Africa and let the Bantus run their tribalist shithole and let the Boers and Coloreds and even the Jeets take the rest. Yes, South Africa is so bad the Indian storeowners are positively civilized.
 
I entirely agree with that, and I hate it because it's fucking impossible. I'm entirely down with saying "fuck arguing over what system of Government is optimal at the moment, let's get rid of the Oligarchs first."

The problem is that Leftists, even ones who I see actively agreeing with that sentiment, are completely incapable of giving up trannyism and other sexual deviancy. They talk about the working class coming together to fight for their own interests, but when they say that, all they really mean is "everybody becomes a Leftist."

The worst example of this was the Healthcare CEO shooting. You finally have a situation where the Dissident Right and Woke Left are in agreement on something, and I saw a lot of Leftists posting exactly what I just said, that IDPOL is being used as a wedge to prevent working class populism. But any positive impressions I had all were immediately ruined as their rhetoric turned into the usual "Right-wingers must give up their hateful, transphobic ways" shit.

The only way to work with the Woke Left is to agree with them uncompromisingly, and in entirety. They would much rather let the Ruling Class get everything they ever wanted than try to compromise with Right-wing values.
Upgraded agree to winner there because fuck if it ain't true and why I bailed wholesale on the party.

It went from "They're poisoning our food and robbing us and cheating the common man and we need retirements and futures" to "Who cares! Private company now that we're on the payroll! The real issue is that we don't have gay marriage and pride parades worldwide!"

It's all so exhausting.
