That's assuming JD would even be allowed to become president, which he won't.

MAGA is dead and gone, pack it up everyone. The courts will fuck us over constantly for the next four years and Trump will do nothing to stop them.

The case involves a small amount of USAID payments that contractors say their owed for work already performed.

Honestly this is the correct ruling for the Supreme Court to make and it doesn't really hurt Trump's agenda in any significant way.
 
The auto industry needs to take a fucking beating for this shit. The fact these car companies are getting away with this grift while quality is tanking is insanity. Nobody should be taking out what's essentially a second mortgage for cars. No vehicle period outside of exclusive luxury vehicles should be costing anymore than $15k-20. The worst part is, it's all inflated costs. The vehicles fucking sit in the lot and rot for months, if not years or sit in a warehouse until eventually nobody buys them because they're charging 45k for a damn SUV.
This is also kinda why I’ve always looked side eyed at union factory workers. When shit started going overseas, you’d always hear about these smug assholes with quotas they hit by lunch time and then they’d sit around for the rest of the day flipping off their bosses.. like the pride was fake and they saved it for the picket line

Idk. The teamsters president there, Sean O’Brien? He got me thinking by endorsing trump and seeming to give a fuck about the state of industry, but before that, I’ve always disliked factory unions
 
PL but almost all developers I’m seeing in small towns are Indians/SE Asians/Arabs or Indian/SE Asian/Arab exclusive companies.
All I know is some of the people who told me to "learn to code," and that my job would be gone by now, have been replaced by H1-Bs and I still have my job.
 
I've am watching the state of the union today and democrats were told to not make it about themselves, when Trump starts talking about thousands of people dying in Ukraine due to our support they start clapping lmao wtf is this shit. Are these people brain dead so I guess the dems support killing hundreds of people nice.
 
There’s actually a big scandal happening in Texas over the state govt being shanghaied — a large group of politicians who ran on republican platforms turned coat after the election and immediately voted to give more power to the dems. Several bills that Texans voted for in overwhelming numbers have been in stalemate due to this shit. Rumors are that a lot of these “rising star” TX Dems are Obama funded. A few honest and upright TX reps are documenting this corruption live on X every week trying to get the word out.

Those of us in the know have been begging for larger coverage of this insanity. We have been drowning in Indian H1B transplants, illegal Mexicans, violent rapist Venezuelan gangs and Californians since 2020 and the demographics in several formerly rural counties are changing overnight.

There are entire apartment complexes, streets, neighborhoods, even full-on towns that are overrun by violent illegals being funded by shadowy corps and protected by psychopathic politicians like Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Dustin Burrows and Dan Crenshaw. Meanwhile, native Texans are forced to pay disgusting amounts of money in property taxes on homes they’ve owned for decades to fund it all. And no one is covering it.
Blue Texas is all but a foregone conclusion. Why is nobody outside of this thread talking about this?
 
The problem is that this dipshit district judge told the State Department to just pay everything, every claim from everybody, do not check for completion, fraud, or anything else. Within hours. Yes, that means he ordered relief for parties that were not involved with the suit and yes that means he is ordering the State Department to violate Federal law. This is how stupid and or brazen he is.
That was after they failed to do it for two weeks as stated in the initial TRO. They would have had enough time to check routine payments for fraud in that time. The government was dragging their heels to not pay for work they promised to pay for.
 
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is referring all four mayors at today’s hearing for criminal prosecution.

Eric Adams, Mike Johnston, Brandon Johnson, and Michelle Wu.

"You are in direct violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1324."

"I'm criminally referring you to the DOJ for investigation. These are going to Pam Bondi immediately!"
