This is unfortunate. The real story isn’t Musk’s indignation or the poor way Trump is handling the situation though. That’s just the side show to keep us from focusing on the real issue. And it’s bipartisan. Our politicians from the bottom to the top are a group of thieving, lying grifters who do what they want and when they want without genuine regard for the general population. It friggin sickening. These spending bills are a joke along with the process with which they are contrived. Just bend over and take it and be happy about it.

Yes he may have been the worst president of my lifetime. He was also easily the best ex-president. No one did more good with their time after being in office than that guy. If I could bet on one ex-president for sure being in heaven, it’s that guy.

Mexico sued several US firearms manufacturers as being responsible for murders in Mexico It was not completely unexpected to be a winning case for firearms manufacturers but the unanimous decision, authored by Kagan, is a welcome sight. The case is Smith & Wesson et al. V. Estados Unidos Mexicanos (Mexico) Smith & Wesson was sued along with six other gun manufacturers (Colt, Glock, Ruger, Baretta, etc.) in the United States by Mexico. The claim (that might have shut them down) was that those manufacturers were responsible for gun violence in Mexico and because the cartels used American manufactured guns. Mexico claimed that since the manufacturers did not strictly police or regulate who bought goes from FFL’s, they were responsible. The First Circuit Court of Appeals covering Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Puerto Rico ruled in favor of Mexico saying the suit could go forward. The firearms manufacturers appealed to the Supreme Court and their ruling was issued a few hours ago. A unanimous Supreme Court ruled that the federal law, Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, protects firearms manufacturers from lawsuits in state and federal courts unless it can be shown that the manufacturer was complicit by aiding and abetting the illegal gun transfers. Mexico showed no evidence that any of the manufacturers were knowingly helping the drug cartels to obtain the guns. The decision was authored by Elana Kagan who in her order wrote…. “Finally, Mexico's allegations about the manufacturers’ design and marketing decisions" add nothing of consequence. As noted above, Mexico here focuses on the manufacturers' production of "military style" assault weapons, among which it includes AR-15 ri-fles, AK-47 rifles, and .50 caliber sniper rifles. But those products are both widely legal and bought by many ordinary consumers. (The AR-15 is the most popular rifle in the country.) The manufacturers cannot be charged with assisting in criminal acts just because Mexican cartel members like those guns too” So in the Opinion of the Court written by Kagan, the AR15, AK47 and similar guns are “widely legal and bought by many ordinary consumers”. She then noted that the AR15 is the most popular rifle in the country. That language may come up in the next session or two when the Supreme Court takes up the assault weapons ban in some states under the premise that they should not be included in the common use test in the Supreme Court cases of Heller and Bruen. The main facts that are important here in my opinion are that even the liberal leaning justices, saw the stupidity of Mexico‘s claim and issued a ruling to protect gun manufacturers against what I think is a frivolous claim and that Kagan wrote the opinion. In doing so wrote that the assault rifles and even sniper rifles were widely legal and purchased by consumers and that the AR15 was the most popular rifle in the country. The flabbergasting part is that the First Circuit Court thought that the manufacturers should be liable if one of their weapons was later used to commit a crime. I guess in their opinion, if a drunk driver killed someone, the family should be able to sue Exxon-Mobil for manufacturing the gasoline.

No doubt. We grew up poor as church mice after my parents divorced. My Mom refused food stamps, or housing assistance. She said as long as we could get by getting clothes from the Treasure house (donated clothing) and grow a garden and things of that nature, she would never consider assistance. And she never did. We had very little, but we got summer & after school jobs to help out my Mom with bills and buy our own school lunches. I've always thought that made us a stronger family and us kids stronger individuals. Even though she's gone now, I still thank her for that lesson all the time. I have no issue with assistance for those that need it. Emphasis on the last 5 words of that sentence...

Statistically speaking, Houston is the best team and currently playing the best in the AL West.

The Dems just want to be doxxing them.

They need to keep the masks. For their protection from retaliation. Antifa needs to be unmasked

A little surprised by Kagan, Jackson & Sotamayor. Interesting that Kagan wrote the opinion. Goes against the typical liberal mantra of ‘it’s the gun.’ Agree the characterization of AR-15 style rifles as ‘common’ will have future impacts when gun control issues try to portray them as military weapons only.

I think we would of known by now with as many leaks that came out of the Bien Admin. Trump also banned him from Mar-A-Lago for hitting on a teenage daughter of another member. Trump never drank or used drugs and stayed has stayed out of "social trouble". It was not until he ran for President that lawfare was used against him. This will be just like when the Democrats were after Trump and his tax returns. They alllll thought he was hiding something and that would be the thing that sinks him. The tax returns were released and not a PEEP out of the Democrats

I'll give you that one, he was a good man

I had a person with which I associated that turned out to be real creep. Everyone who knew him, including myself, disowned him. I won’t go into details, but it was bad. It’s kinda like the serial killer’s next door neighbors who were most surprised when he was caught. I would guess that billionaires run in the same circles and have mutual acquaintances. If you find one to be a bad apple, you discard him. Trump knowing Epstein is no secret, but I believe it was before Epstein even owned the island. If I am wrong and Trump was involved, then get him. I could never back anyone who would do such a thing. Carter may have been a good man, but for a president, he had no backbone.

#1. There is no need for a comprehensive immigration bill right now - We are just following the laws that congress has passed. You do believe in following the law and not picking and choosing which ones we enforce, right? If not, I guess you would be ok if New York went back to stop and frisk......? #2. The parents have a choice of leaving the child or taking them with them. Every time an America citizen is arrested and have children they are being separated from their parents......the big news flash, is don't come here illegally and you won't have to worry about it.

Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE Great work by @usedgov and @DOGE taking action on long-running fraud in federal student aid estimated to cost taxpayers > $1B/year and contributed to shortfalls in education funding available to low income students. The Dept. Of Education disburses $120 billion in student aid per year between Pell Grants and loans. The fraudsters (largely international crime rings): - Use stolen SSNs to sign up for online classes at secondary institutions - Use the same SSNs to receive federal student loans or Pell Grants -Use a chatbot to “show up” for the first few days of classes -Pocket a portion of the money (which is sent from the federal government to the school to the fake students) -Disappear It is estimated that over 20% of online community college enrollments per year are siphoning off Pell grant money meant for low income students. The Dept. of Education, starting next week, has now instituted mandatory identity checks for all first-year students receiving financial aid. DOGE and Ed are actively working on a technology-based solution now that will be deployed ahead of next year’s loan season. DOGE is still at work!

Steeler’s Wheel. Lol

True dat. (Music in background) Clowns to the Left, Jokers to the Right, here I am...stuck in the middle...

ICE lives in fear of retaliation…..from who? Americans? Not in my book.

This is ANOTHER 80/20 issue in my opinion. This is no different than demanding under cops being able to be identified by a simple google search. Does it really matter WHO arrest you? At the end of the day you going to the same place🤣

The majority of the people disagree as proven in the 2024 election. At least trump is trying to do what he told the American people he was going to do.....and it beats the last 4 years of a man who was nominated to run the country but if he was your Dad, you would of taken his keys to all vehicles away.....

The RANGERS gave up 3 runs in the 9th to lose the game and the series to tampa bay. Pitcher forgot to cover 1st on a ground ball to 1B. Runners from 3rd and 2nd scored on the play for a walkoff. The RANGERS look like a little league team!!! 🤬

Wow win 8-2 after 3 plus hour rain delay. Valdez another 11 K gem, Paredes 2 Dingers. This old toot didn't stay up and watch it but now 1 1/2 up Nice

I know you don’t like the “but but”, except I have to ask why no one else has released the files? No one has a good answer for that. I’m not simply talking about Trump here, but when you have “BIG MONEY”involved in anything, it’s amazing what can be released and what cannot. There are so many filthy rich people involved in this that none of us would know if they named them. I say get them all!

Still dont like musk, that said..... glad he spoke out and put pressure on these folks to release the files... "but but where was your outrage the last 4 years" hell get Biden and whoever else is hiding stuff.. I wouldn't piss on any of em if they were burning... we're waiting

I am a never Trumper. Always have been. Don was completely caught off guard when his Attorney General was so excited about releasing the files. As always maga cult surrounds the wagon.

Well, I quoted dct. | have said on many posts that if Trump is proven to have had sex with underaged girls on the island, then get him too. Problem is…..don’t we all want EVERYONE on the list? My loyalty question was to the libs who, all of a sudden, are Musk followers.

Not loyal to any party. The dems may not have called Trump out because too many dems would have to fall as well.

With all the lies and fake charges that the dems threw at Trump, including assassination, do you truly think that if they had Epstein evidence on Trump that they would not have already released it themselves? Do you really believe that or does it just give you a warm feeling to post it?

You’re missing the point. They’re ALL con men/women.

I doubt that.

Let’s see. Elon donated almost $300 million in the last election. The bill they are arguing about (allegedly because Trump is back to spending money like a drunken sailor in a cathouse) also cut heavy subsidies for EV manufacturers. Someone remind me how Elon made most of his money? C’mon fellas, we don’t need Sherlock to solve this riddle. And Elon for as brilliant as he undoubtedly is, apparently didn’t do much research. This man has a history of stiffing people, even when it’s in writing. He should be pissed at himself for thinking a handshake/ wink wink deal was fool proof.

When I get time, I'll post the schedules for the 33 coverage area teams that are participating.

I can disagree with a person and still support them and their policies.. On his worst day he is still better than Kamala or Biden.

My Father pasted away in December of 2020, he would of been 90 Jan 19th. I remember several months before he passed, I took him to Wal-Mart to pick up some things. That was a big deal in itself, because I drove his truck. He didn't want to give up the keys, but he had no business on the road. He had Lewy body dementia, so it affects mind and balance. Anyway, we had to park several spots from the entrance and he was struggling to walk but refused to use a walker. I picked up a shopping cart on the way and he used that to help him walk and keep his balance. I told him he should get a handicap sticker for his truck so he could park close. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, " Son, they only give out so many of those, so I don't want to take one away from someone who really needs it". Lying to benefit your family or any type of fraud, takes money or goods from someone. BTW, my Dad was raised poor, lived on a houseboat in Louisiana and started working when he was around 10. He made a good life for himself because he seen what poor was.

Of course you don't think Conald is on there, you believe whatever they say i get it... hell "pedojoe" as yall called him could be on there! Hang em all, the stuff that folks get away with and goes on behind the curtains is the sickening part and you agree with it by defending it... prove me wrong... I'll wait! He had close ties with Epstein and he magically committed suicide under whos watch? Be real with yourself for once and think outside of some source or X

Lol oh god we’re doing the “2 more weeks” thing, AGAIN?!?!!!

How many times do you get tricked before you learn lol

I keep seeing excuses for it not being released... think we all know the real reason! Certain names etc Keep holding your breath tho it's coming, how they want it seen

She said they have to make sure their i's are dotted and their t's are crossed. But it's coming. First they have to protect the children. And second she said when any of this is brought to a grand jury they have to have everything in order.

Who’s been tricked? That’s just a troll’s interpretation, like he knows more than anyone else……yet same troll couldn’t have been more wrong than he was 11-5.
