A lot of the Congresscritters resigning are eyeing higher offices now that they’ve secured a pension through their five year term of service in the House.

And while this is certainly a shit year for Republican incumbents, the gerrymandering favors Republicans long term. They’ll be back, and in greater number, in '28 or '30.

Literally the entire Senate voted to release the Epstein files

Well aware that they’d be redacted down to nothing

There’s a (now defunct) website called Hindenburg Investments that specialized in Short Selling companies they research, dig up criminal misconduct on, and then report to the SEC/FBI/etc.

The last report they released was on PACS, a company that was caught swindling Medicaid to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

After Trump won the election, I took a gamble on “Scams and Frauds” investing and picked up 1000 shares in this heavily depressed company. Trumps’ admin effectively dropped the investigation and charges on the firm, causing its stock price to triple.

Just something for the savvy investor to look out for in the future.

Companies can take out loans against projects on their books in order to finance delivery. And because banks are often run by people more greedy than careful, this opens an easy second hand swindle by which you claim yourself as a government contractor with a $300M project, borrow the balance at some percentage you don’t care about, and then never pay it back.

Yeah, sure. Your name is burned. But for a healthy cut of a nine figure job, who cares? This ballroom is twice what the Ocean’s Eleven team heisted, and it’s all legal.

It’s a weird fetishization of the need for data. Like, we already have the NSA, which operates on the order of Zetabytes, nevermind the FBI, the CIA, and the rest of the three letter agencies.

What is Trump going to do with a local data center that he couldn’t already do through DOGE at any of the existing centers?

Did someone seriously sell him on installing the Singularity in his basement?

they didn’t have the Senate votes to remove him from office

When has anyone ever?

“The right thing to do would be to sell WB to Amazon”, Brosnan continued, as sweat poured of his brow.

Eyes darting nervously, he continued haltingly, “we need… a strong and… productive environment for the… entertainment Bezos - business! I mean business! Please, don’t harm my wife! I did what you dema-” before the video feed was cut short.

“I’m a US Senator and I’m saying something obvious, please do an article about me!!!”

Paul’s (and his noxious friend Mike Lee’s) faux-libertarianism has been barely a speed bump for this Presidency. So much for Small Government.

This is fucking stupid.

It’s stupid because the game has already received a stack of awards a mile high. Nobody seriously cares about this. Nobody’s sales will be hurt in any meaningful capacity. It’s a dumb awards show, not the FCC.

People are going to use the tools available if it leads to quicker development cycles to get a product out.

I think this “placeholder art” is a silly line to draw. But the high profile of the game makes it a ripe target to make a statement.

If you really don’t want to reward people for “quicker development” over the human touch, might as well pick a game everyone already bought and highlight folks who did their dev work organically

Critiquing the visual appearance of architecture sounds like some Woke Leftist Liberal Arts shit to me.

My parents raised me in a hole under a tree stump and it built my character. Now I’m the assistant manager at three different car dealerships. You lefties with your indoor plumbing and central air will never have this much success

They can just impeach her

Hasn’t Trump been impeached twice already?

I mean, ask a torture victim if suffering is a choice. You’ll get a different response

I mean, you gotta ask this unironically

Everyone already has E. coli in their guts.

How do you think he smuggled it?

Lefty Memes but it’s a day dedicated to Southpaws

The goal of these rules is to minimize the utility of SNAP benefits and discourage application for and usage of these benefits.

Who’s going to defend her?

More pressing, who is going to prosecute her? To date, I’ve seen zero impulse under any prior administration to prosecute the wrongdoing of outgoing officials.

The closest case has been the half assed effort to get Leticia James on… misreporting a mortgage statement?

Nobody at the highest levels of government and business actually want to fuck with one another. It is always and forever punching down on the plebs.

Okay, she erased them. But did she remember to click “Empty Recycle Bin”

Liberty is when the government fears the people.

I think that’s Leninism

don’t complain when all you have left

Most farmers market sellers are also selling to mainline grocery stores and restaurants. You have to be incredibly small time to exclusively sell at market stalls every week or two.
