Chronology of a Dozen Times Trump Pushed to Prosecute His Perceived Enemies The cascade of election coverage, commentary and speculation about how Donald Trump might use the power of the presidency to retaliate against his perceived political enemies has overlooked important context: Trump has done just that, while he was president, at least a dozen times. What follows is a chronological list of specific instances in which the former president in fact used the Department of Justice and other levers of government power — including by directly, publicly or privately pressuring officials — to target his chosen political targets. The record includes several cases in which he apparently succeeded more than might be imagined or remembered. https://www.justsecurity.org/98703/chronology-trump-justice-department/

Yeah, yucking it up with Elon bragging about firing an employee who was organizing a union was not a good look. But then there is little blowback on Trump's idiotic behavior and comments. The National Labor Relations Board on Thursday upheld a 2019 ruling that Tesla had illegally fired a worker involved in union organizing and that the company’s chief executive, Elon Musk, had illegally threatened workers with the loss of stock options if they unionized. The board ruled that the worker, Richard Ortiz, must be reinstated with back pay, and that Mr. Musk must delete his tweet. The company must also post a notice committing not to violate labor law in the future and announcing that it will undertake the mandated remedies. -NYT Support for Unions Hits 70-Year High as US Workers See Power of Organized Labor Despite corporate-backed efforts to erode union power in the United States for more than a century, U.S. public support for organized labor is higher than it's been in seven decades, according to a survey published ahead of Monday's Labor Day holiday. The annual Gallup Labor Day poll revealed that 70% of Americans approve of labor unions, while 23% disapprove. That's up from last year's 67% approval rate. Two years ago, 71% of survey respondents said they were pro-union, but 26% disapproved, meaning this year's 47-point approval margin was slightly wider than in 2022. https://www.commondreams.org/news/support-for-unions

Elections? Democracy for the highest bidder?
bamnutsak replied to connda's topic in Political Soapbox
It doesn't help that the FEC is neutered (3:3) SCOTUS made corporations "people" (Citizens United) Rules/oversight on PACs is all but non-existent -
Ah, the old 3-D chess nugget, I should have known.

But why would pro-Trump outlets/pollsters (like Fox) participate in the conspiracy you describe? Or are they all part of the Globalist cabal? I think pollsters go for different target samples: likely voter, first-time voter, etc.

Swiss Man Who ‘Kicked’ Doctor Loses Visa, 2nd Swiss Man Too Could Do So

Who said she did. I was merely citing a fact from ages ago. -
I think the margin of error is usually plus or minus, so the actual spread would be 2x. Some trends which contribute to unreliability include finding a decent sample, who is honest. Trump voters are often cagey about admitting they'll vote for Trump, maybe out of embarrassment? Then you have the electoral college bias. Harris will have to win by 3 ~ 5 points to get the win.

Another secure and fair election, coming up...
bamnutsak replied to impulse's topic in Political Soapbox
'Nuff said. States administer elections. In 2022, 70% voted by hand-marked paper ballot, 23% voted by matching which marks a paper ballot, and 7% by Direct Recording Electronic machines. https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-ELECTION/VOTING/mypmnewdlvr/ Harris is plus 7 in this left-leaning state with 4 electoral college votes. Trump is still likely to win. What will yousay then? "Oh the election was fine." Calm down. -

While it would help to have the exact variant (In Settings), you should be fine. https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/CA/samsung-galaxy-a52s-5g Most major providers probably have coverage. And the lesser-known brands are MVNOs that use the major provider's networks. So again, you'll be fine. -
British man, accused of drug dealing, arrested in Phuket
bamnutsak replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Yeah, this is why having his name would allow us to understand the details of the case against him. Was he even charged? And then released on bail? And then did a runner. Or did he figure out he was about to be arrested - maybe others in his crew were being arrested or he got a tip-off - and did a runner. -
This was from the Mark Levin interview. Wow, what a dumpster fire that was. SHilling for Trump's new "book", softball questions, 90 % of the time spent complaining and denigrating his opponent, 10% reliving past fictions, 0% spent on current policies. I loved when Levin inquired about Trump's faith ("You go to church.")...I'm surprised Levin didn't burst into flames. Trump: ‘I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country’ “I think you think like, if you believe in God, you believe in God more. And somebody said like, why? And I’d like to think that God thinks that I’m going to straighten out our country,” he said in the interview that aired on Fox News’s “Life, Liberty & Levin.” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4858345-trump-id-like-to-think-that-god-thinks-that-im-going-to-straighten-out-our-country/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmbnf2fIrAs&pp=ygUbbWFya2UgbGV2aW4gdHJ1bXAgaW50ZXJ2aWV3

^ Oh that was him arriving HKT-BKK. He'll have to be processed, legally extradited. I wonder what the flight arrangements are for a chap who has pretty much everything to lose? The only direct, non-stop flight is on TG, I think? Do U.K. LEO fly with him, or Thai LEO? -
Kennedy gives Swing voters a clear choice, Trump

Does anyone think that any remaining undecided voters either understand what these terms mean or really think VP Harris is one or all of these things? Trump often comes across as something created from DNA found in amber created in the 1970's. IMO he should stick with one name, one pejorative and one catch(y) phrase. Example: "Hilary", "Crooked", "Crooked Hilary" and "Lock her up."

How about his full name? It sounds like he was already deported/extradited?

bamnutsak replied to Pouatchee's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I dpn't think this is accurate. AFAIK you can BYOD (bring your own device). Obviously there are some potential frequncy-supported issues. You have a phone here, in Thailand? It works with a local Thai SIM? If so it is unlocked. (You could get a DTAC/True/AIS data roaming package to get you over the hump on arrival.) What is the make and model of your Samsung phone? https://www.comparecellular.ca/compare-plans-in-quebec/byod/ https://www.comparecellular.ca/compare-plans-in-quebec/prepaid-phones-and-sim-cards/ -
Note that unless you enable WiFi Calling (done from the UltraMobile Dashboard <PC>, or their mobile app) AND have a capable/compatible device (verify now while in the U.S.), you will NOT be able to make/receive calls or texts from Thailand UNLESS you purchase International credit(s)... $5 INTL Call Credit each month $5 INTL Roaming Credit (one-time) https://www.ultramobile.com/product/10gb-prepaid-plan/?srsltid=AfmBOoqs_7jd5wyZsfFxFvF9I4WljzWoObVVDZAzWA1Zygg6WXu02Rdl This SIM/plan, while good for the U.S. may be overkill for your Thai-centric application requirements. Again, I'd recommend getting (And activating while in the U.S.) ANOTHER UM (PAYG) SIM, for $13 and $3 month. Then get (another?) Google Voice number on that PAYG SIM number. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285112988423 ...if only as a backup.

Yes, the LINE desktop app offers full functionality - chat/"text", audio and video. But you need a mobile smartphone and a SIM/number to register for AND log in to the desktop app. But you'll need a shopping cart and an extra long extension cord for your desktop to match the phone's "portability, mobility, and flexibility".

Trump claims Zuckerberg plotted against him during the 2020 election in soon-to-be released book Former President Donald Trump writes in a new book set to be published next week that Mark Zuckerberg plotted against him during the 2020 election and said the Meta chief executive would “spend the rest of his life in prison” if he did it again. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/28/trump-zuckerberg-election-book-00176639 No pressure there. Justices side with Biden over government’s influence on social media content moderation The Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out a lawsuit seeking to limit the government’s ability to communicate with social media companies about their content moderation policies. By a vote of 6-3, the court ruled that that the plaintiffs did not have a legal right, known as standing, to bring their lawsuit. Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett cited the lack of any “concrete link” between the restrictions that the plaintiffs complained of and the conduct of government officials – and in any event, she concluded, a court order blocking communication between government officials and social media companies likely would not have any effect on decision-making by those platforms, which can continue to enforce their policies. https://www.scotusblog.com/2024/06/justices-side-with-biden-over-governments-influence-on-social-media-content-moderation/ Zuckerberg’s Letter to Jordan: Headline Grabbing, Legally Insignificant While some Republicans lawmakers are making political hay out of Zuckerberg’s letter, did he say anything that might have moved the legal needle in favor of the plaintiffs’ First Amendment case against the government over such jawboning pressure in Murthy v. Missouri? The Wall Street Journal’s James Freeman suggested the answer might be yes, opining that Zuckerberg now could be just the right person to “mount a new court challenge against the Biden-Harris administration.” https://www.aei.org/technology-and-innovation/zuckerbergs-letter-to-jordan-headline-grabbing-legally-insignificant/ Zuckerberg's letter: https://wsvn.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/Zuckerberg-letter-3.pdf
