It was as Spek pointed out - an FU vote to the establishment with zero real alternatives. And also if youre making less than $300k the city is very expensive and someone saying they will help reduce costs by taxing millionaires is an appealing message for them. 

Only for those who know neither history nor economics.  There is no single country that is prospering and does not have billionaires.

What a wild comment from Trump.  

We know the Chinese students often come to spy and steel.

Why though? Why give some random stranger so much power over your life? Trump clearly dominates the minds of like 75-80% of the country…why? 
 

Im at Disney today, life’s so great I can’t stand it. Not losing my mind over manufactured fear over what some politician might or might not do at some random time in the future. 

I agree.  But you do know why, you’re just being generous.

Yea the lefties get off on this virtue signal thing. And the poor West Virginia guys with the Orange Jesus complex, idk, need something ta believe in. But in general….so weird, I don’t get it but get nearly limitless entertainment out of it all.

Today, a practicing Danish CPA would be disbarred and fined an enormous fine communicating that way. Back in 90's, perhaps '95 or '96 A Danish CPA got disbarred and fined DKK 300 K not tax deductible for in a written quarrel with a discontent client leaving out the door, loosing his head, for in print to the client expressing 'I don't want persons like you as clients.' [There were more like that in the case, but not worse than that - snide insinuatiions.] It's called example setting for the profession to define limits for behavioral standards, by deheading a member.

NYC has and will always have billionaires and millionaires.  Money will move out, money will come in.  Anything Mamdami does will move things around the edges.  And then he will go and things will move again. Cycle of life.

For the guy who says to ignore it and doesnt let it impact him you post more about it than anyone here.  You seem quite obsessed by it all.

Oh he'll set her up in a club Fed and pardon her on Day 1460. 

 

But I think we are seeing progress:

 

Months ago it was "Trump can do no wrong!" If something went wrong, it was the other guy's fault! 

 

Now we've clawed our way to: If something goes wrong, well what does it matter anyways? Geeze just get over it! Stop letting the President impact your life! 

 

So I think that's a teeny tiny bit of progress from the right in terms of taking a little bit of responsibility!

It's like seeing a child grow up right in front of your very eyes, so heartwarming! 

[adesigar]

Just something that came across my news and article feed today.

[Mephistopheles]

I think the Maxwell pardon will be a good thing in terms of creating cracks in the base. Epstein (releasing files), and anti child sex trafficking seems to be one of the few things where there is bipartisan support for. So much so that Marjorie Taylor Greene has developed TDS!

Curious why you chose us 3 to whom to pose your question.  The answer is no; she is vile.

 

Just wanted to see if we are all on the same page on this...seems so.  Cheers!

Aha...I said it would take two years and no one would give two shits about Disney!  About the same for Budlight.  Now if only Target would get over the hump...I have a bunch of LEAPs on it.  Cheers!

lol! , There are no limits for what a Dad will endure for his kids! Same goes with the wifey, if the love is true!  

 

- And then yet, a lot of marriages end up stranded anyway? - What is it? : It's in the reptile brain! - It's called attraction! - Marriage is the most oversold and overrated concept in many cultures around the world! If you really love your songbird, then you're also willing to let it fly if it wants to! - Unmanagable attractions lead to infidelity, breach of mutual trust, combined with greed and such, it keeps world go around! - Dynamic! - and already fat lawyers keeping up on their weight

Some of the things you mention under Question 1 are very concerning to me while others are more debateable and closer to normal disputes about the extent of executive power.  See, e.g., Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952); Biden v. Nebraska, 600 U.S. 477 (2023).  

Also, I don't think you answered my question, which is a difficult one:  In the context of a republic that is going to have a federal election in 2026, can you describe specifically what you believe the "good people" could or should be doing that they are not?  

Thank you KJP, that was interesting. The second case is typical legal work used to resolve conflicting 'powers' at the margin. The first case is both interesting and relevant (versus power to order tariffs for example) as judges leaned towards limiting the power of the POTUS despite an actual war going on. Isn't it incredible that there is still a material possibility that the actual Supreme Court defers to a single person for a situation which should be crystal clear to start with (in terms of constitutionnaly-derived separation of powers)?

For the "difficult" question related to the apathy of the good people, i would say here's the beginning of an answer: A Reagan-appointed judge who decides to speak out in (a left-leaning but high validity) publication:

To @adesigar, i just saw your post, mine then becomes somewhat repetitive. Some stuff is worth repeating though?

Don’t really know this guy Dave, other than he pops up every now and again on Twitter.  Kinda of crazy how much of a jerk he comes across in this video.  Understand he was harassed the other day, sure, but not acceptable.

[DooDiligence]

Imagine an ex-president actually wanting to greet veterans and thank them personally.

 

 

Meanwhile, the Mango Mussolini rivets the crowd with another banger as he mulls over freeing a former business partner and convicted sex trafficker.

To be fair, I actually owned Disney at one point, despite better judgment, and then thankfully switched to Nintendo. Disneys still in a rut. But disappointing was that all the virtue signalers whom were claiming to be ready and lusting for the “dip to buy”, never actually put their money where their mouth was….shucks
