Every one of Trump’s posts like this show how unsuitable he is for governance. Collectively,
they damn those who made/make this maniac president.

“History has judged Chief Justice Taney as among the most outstanding American jurists….” [Mitch] McConnell, Haynesworth and Carswell: A New Senate Standard of Excellence, Kentucky Law Journal, Vol 51, Issue 1, (1970). Perhaps Roberts has been persuaded by hugely incorrect “scholarship”.

After failed attempts to deny the validity of the data, how long before MAGA tries to claim that Trump intentionally spiked employment in a ninth level chess move to cause the Fed to drop in interest rates?

Well reasoned string. Thank you.

USA: verkommene und im tiefsten Herzen verdorbene Politikermaschinen

Übersetzter Screenshot
Robert Schwartz war pleite und lebte in einem Herrenheim, also stieg er in den Lieferwagen. Er sagte, er sei gebeten worden, seinen Namen, seine Adresse, Telefonnummer und E-Mail auf ein Formular zu schreiben, in dem er angab, dass er eine Spende in Höhe von 250 Dollar für politische Kampagnen mache. Der 48-Jährige hatte keine 250 Dollar, aber das schien dem Mann, der die Papiere verwaltete, keine Rolle zu spielen.

Schwartz sagte, er habe seinen Namen unterschrieben und erhielt 30 Dollar in bar. Er wurde zurück in den Park gefahren und eine neue Gruppe von drei oder vier Obdachlosen hüpfte für den gleichen Zweck in das Fahrzeug.

Staatliche Aufzeichnungen zeigen, dass die Kampagne, die Schwartz' angebliche Spende gesammelt hat, Caleb Slater gehörte, einem 28-jährigen Republikaner, der letztes Jahr erfolglos für den Staatssenat in der Region Syrakus kandidierte.

Eine Untersuchung der Times Union über die Spendenbemühungen der Kampagne hat Informationen aufgedeckt, dass Slater Beiträge von 250 Dollar von mehreren Obdachlosen gemeldet hat, die der Zeitung sagten, dass sie nie Geld für seine Kampagne gespendet hätten und dass sie dafür bezahlt wurden, Beitragsformulare für die Kampagne einzureichen, laut Interviews mit sieben Spendern und einer Prüfung von Kampagnenfinanzaufzeichnungen

I would expect Professor Dershowitz to know that affiliation, speech and opinion are protected against governmental infringement but are not without any personal consequence.

As @eggerdc.bsky.social suggests here, it's notable that Trump seems more willing to risk making an obviously corrupt deal with the convicted sex trafficker Maxwell, than he is to release the files. What's in those files about Trump...must be something.

Trump can’t bully or bribe the Jeffrey Epstein files, but Epstein’s top co-conspirator is another matter.

They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.

That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.

The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

Sophie's choice was for her son, so the family might live on through him. The morality of that vote has been debated since the book was published.
Lisa chose to let people of 49 states die to protect her own political interests when a "no" could have saved those in all 50 states. No debate. Immoral!

International students contributed $43.8 B to the US economy during the 2023-24 academic year. Trump’s actions vs academia has and will chill foreign admissions. DOGE can only document $60 B in “savings”. The Mad King’s balance sheet should reflect both sides. In the end we can expect lots of red.
