  1. Given the decisions lately of the supreme Court, I'd say six of those members might prove you have a point.
  2. One of those justices is the notorious socialist John Roberts and the other was the fire breathing Marxist Antonin Scalia.
  3. More idiocy. Do we need any more proof that you are not an American? If you were an American, you would know how prestigious it is to be a clerk for a supreme Court justice. Both these attorneys were. clerks for Supreme Court justices. In addition, both graduated from an elite University. One graduated magna cum laude and the other the top of his class. Please stop trying to pose as an American. You aren't fooling anybody.
  4. Thanks for the idiocy. Both Sassoon and Scotten have the kind of elite resumes that would have long since gottem them top positions in elite white shoe law firms if that is what they were looking for.
  5. It should be noted that Hagen Scotten, the author of this, is a second rate typical lefty lawyyer 3 who has done nothing in the way of service for his country...oh wait a minute... "Scotten is an Army veteran who earned two Bronze medals serving in Iraq as a Special Forces troop commander. He graduated from Harvard Law School at the top of his class in 2010 and clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts." https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/new-york-city-attorney-adams-trump/2025/02/14/id/1199178/
  6. Now this is how to give the corrupt Trump administration the finger. Here's an excerpt from the resignation letter of the chief prosecutor in the Adams case. It's about the corrupt use of dismissal without prejudice. "But any assistant U.S.attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial powerto influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going tobe me." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/seventh-doj-official-resigns-warns-trump-use-charges-leverage-nyc-mayo-rcna192240
  7. 15% of China's exports go to the US. And they control the supply of several critical materials. So it's not only China that would suffer.
  8. In Sassoon's letter of resignation, she accused Bove of not studying the case before directing her to ask for dismissal without prejudice. In reply, not only did Bove claim he had studied the case closely, but also questioned its legitimacy. In fact he wrote that he was now going to launch an investigation of how the case was arrived at. He claims there was possible malfeasance on the part of the prosecutors. This makes no sense. You don't first propose to ask for a dismissal of a case without prejudice then turn around and say it's a bad case. At least you don't do that if you're a competent lawyer. And Bove is certainly a very competent lawyer. But if your boss is clueless, then this is the position can find yourself in, flypapering yourself with lies.
  9. I for one upload her for her courageous stance in supporting Bashir Assad by publicly doubting reports that he had used chemical weapons against his own people.
  10. It's notable that the prosecutor was ordered to request that the case be dismissed without prejudice. What that means is that the charges against Adams could be revived anytime. In other words, it's a way to coerce Adams into cooperating with the Trump administration.
  11. Thank you for another non sequitur. You've got nothing.
  12. The thing is, though, not only did Republicans including Vance specifically blame Biden for the high price of eggs, but Trump claimed that he could lower the cost of groceries. Not merely slow the pace of inflation but lower them. And do it right away. Of course, now that he's elected, he's singing a different tune
  13. As usual, it's you who's doing the lying and not the person you accuse. The Inflation Reduction Act Primarily Impacts Top 1 Percent of Taxpayers In a new analysis, the Tax Policy Center finds the tax provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are highly progressive. Taxes would rise by $6,060 (0.3 percent of after-tax income) in 2023 for households in the top 1 percent—with incomes greater than about $1 million. Households in the top 0.1 percent (those with over $4.4 million of income) would bear an additional burden of $41,580 (0.4 percent of after-tax income), TPC estimates. https://taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/inflation-reduction-act-primarily-impacts-top-1-percent-taxpayers
  14. Blaming a President for high egg prices is really stupid. "The U.S. has an egg shortage because the “Biden administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the mass killing of more than 100 million chickens. Karoline Leavitt blames Biden for egg shortage, but killing infected birds was Trump’s policy, too https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/jan/30/karoline-leavitt/karoline-leavitt-blames-biden-for-egg-shortage-but/
  15. Where did I mention anything about price?
  16. I've had the same problem with Samsung chargers that I've purchased at the company store.
  17. Spending that the White House does not like is being labeled fraudulent. At the same time, President Trump is rolling back anticorruption efforts and ethical standards for himself and allies like Elon Musk. Now that he is back in office, President Trump sees corruption everywhere — in the foreign aid agency, at the Justice Department, in federal contracting. But when it comes to his own orbit, he doesn’t seem interested in looking. https://archive.ph/ieTq6#selection-4727.0-4727.228

  18. Thanks for the advice so far.
  19. I think 3 months would still be an improvement.
  20. Is there such a thing. Mine generally don't last more than a few months. Particularly the cables. Is there any brand out there that does offer superior chargers and/or cables?
  21. So USAID has $50 million in Gaza Zimbabwe for HIV prevention in the form of condoms? I know they have a major program is Zimbabwe to combat HIV butt but 50 million for HIV prevention just in Gaza, Zimbabwe? You got a source for that? Also, would that be per year or over the life of the program which I believe started in the George W. Bush administration (?
  22. Maybe in the alternative universe you live in USAID is just being audited. But in this one, its programs are being put on hold and people told to go back home. Also, lots of lies are being told about it.
  23. Here we see another victim of truthiness. Somehow, in their biased way of thinking, the claim that 50 million was spent on condoms is valid because x amount of dollars was spent on family planning. In fact, the claim that 50 million dollars was spent on condoms is an unvarnished lie.
  24. You have to be an utter ignoramus to believe that Forbes is left wing. But that way, you can dismiss evidence without looking at it. The condition you appear to be suffering from is called willful ignorance.
  25. Stop with the falsehoods. This is what you wrote "Don't care" about "Many false and misleading claims about USAID spending practices have spread quickly on X, propped up by billionaires including Musk and Bill Ackman."
