Anything (particularly a single set of laws) that takes almost 7,000 pages to explain, is utter nonsense

Then why all the protests? Are they protesting status quo? ššš

In 4 Years - Trump Had $8 TRILLION Deficit
tvc184 replied to HuntersLaptop2028's topic in Political Forum
Trump 4 year deficit: $5.5T Biden 4 year deficit: $7.7T Biden ran up 40% more than Trump. Biden had the worst 4 years by far than any president. Before pointing fingers and making predictions, you might want to clean up your own act. There might have been another $10T added but it would have been from the guy that just left office. š¤£š¤£š¤£ -
Found it. These quotes from the Beaumont Enterprise in September 2019. āDeGuerin responded to that during his questions to the jurors, revealing that he was not charging Walker for his services.ā āāIāve been working for Calvin Walker for 10 years,ā DeGuerin said. āAnd the money ran out a long time ago. I am working this case pro bono. I am here because I believe in Calvin Walker, and I believe in the good work he did for BISD.ā Here if the link but it might require a subscription. I have one but I think they allow a couple of views before a subscription is needed. [Hidden Content]

Going back into my memory again, which can be dangerousā¦. I thought at Walkerās last appearances, particularly the actual trial, DeGuerin doing it pro bono. DeGuerin claim something like Walker had run out of money and DeGuerin was going to follow it through to the end or something to thateffect.

Jasper coach accuses another Jasper coach of assault

All the more reason to think that it is a sorceress pursuit as you suggested. -
Bondi just fired the Chief Legal Counsel for the ATF. If she was the architect over recent ATF rulings, good riddance. Hopefully Loper-Bright will slow some of it down.

Reading slows down the false accusations. Canāt have thatā¦ā¦

I thought when they changed the law maybe 30 years ago, the sentence could be over 10 years but the probation time was capped at 10 years. I arrested a woman for endangering a child and she was given the maximum of 20 years on a plea deal but it was probated for the 10 year maximum. That was in maybe 1998.

Yepā¦.. TDS has not dissipated. It is probably more intense now but with fewer people spitting it out. Musk is an auditor. Itās like hiring an accounting firm to audit a bank. The auditors can only point out the discrepancies and/or wasted money. The banking institution is the only one that can make changes or ask for criminal charges. Musk is but the accounting firm asked to look at the books.

Yes. Every government has waste in every department. I know in my police department they were spending about $200,000 annually on typists that we didnāt need. It was nothing but a jobs program at the taxpayersā expense. While we donāt want to cut patrol officers or detectives, there is still waste.

$300B over five years comes out to $60B per year. The US is currently spending about $850 - $900B. I think the 2025 budget is sitting at $900B. Thatās more the next six highest countries combined. Four of those six are allies. China and Russia can combine their annual military spending and it doesnāt equal the US. In fact the US budget is 300+% more than Russia. If Russia is licking their lips thinking that the US military is suddenly threadbare then they had better take a closer look. Assuming the cuts go through, the US will spend about $840B next year and Russia will spend $225B with much of that tied up in Ukraine. Gee, we are only outspending Russia by a little over $600B. That is why the US has 11 nuclear super carriers in different battle groups while Russia and China haveā¦. zero nuclear carriers of the three oil burners that they have combined. Your sycophant isnāt wearing well. Maybe you can google another word

No. Launching American communications and military satellites is a national security and communications issue. If NASA can lauch dozens of satellites each week at a cheaper cost than Space X, they need to do so. If NASA could keep up cheaper, why did Biden give billions of dollars to Space X? It is not like sending $2,500,000 to Viet Nam for electric cars, $20,000,000 for Sesame Street in Iraq or $2,000,000 for sex charges in Guatemala.

I thought they assessed either 10 or 20 years in prison, probated for 10 years. In maybe an interesting note, Walker also claimed a Fifth Amendment violation of double jeopardy since he had already been convicted in federal court and all other counts dismissed. The right to travel nonsense as claimed, doesnāt exist. The right to travel is not expressly mentioned in the Constitution. We do have the right to travel. Apparently that confuses people with the privilege to drive. They are separate issues. We can go to or from any state, live in any state and work in any state with no restrictions from the state. Without a driverās license we can walk, ride a bicycle, ride in a bus, ride with another person driving, be on a horse, fly in on a plane and so on. So we are free to ātravelā without a license. Obviously we all know that but some people claim that right to travel prohibits a state from requiring a license. The crazy part is that most sovereign citizens claim to go by the Constitution. They simply ignore the parts that they donāt like. ā I absolutely believe in the Constitution!!! Well, most of itā¦.ā.

Democrats.org Now thereās an unbiased group. According to the article, in the last five years Space X has received $13B. Maybe I slept through it but wasnāt Biden the president for four of those years? Apparently Musk companies got billions of dollars under Biden. I suppose that is offset by $300 million under Trump NEWSFLASH: Musk doesnāt get to keep the money. Space X is putting several rocket flights a week into space with dozens of satellites. Space X has launched over 60 missions so far this year. In seven weeks Space X has launch that many rockets outperforming all other companies and countries combined. Space X employs 13,000 people. They can launch a rocket into space and deliver a military satellite almost every day. Gee, I canāt figure out how they can get contracts.

š¤£š¤£š¤£ Affirmative Action - Hiring or promoting a person based on diversity. But wait, that is discrimination! Letās get rid of AA and promote DEI. That way we can give preference to diversity and inclusion.

Geezā¦. You would think the WSJ would have been staffers but apparently not. A defendant can claim anything however that does not make it true. There are no pardons for solicitation of children, murder conspiracies and other such nonsensical claims. It is yet another example of taking fiction and trying to stretch it into fact. The order pardoning people was ācomplete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021ā So unless the murder plots and child solicitation occurred āat or nearā the US Capitol and only on January 6, 2021, there is no pardon. Also an overwhelming percentage of such crimes are prosecuted in state courts where a presidential pardon has no legal status. Any crime that happened outside the area of the Capitol, in any state (not in DC) or in sometime before or after January 6 even if in DC, the pardons have no legal status. The inadvertent discovery of other crimes is meaningless. It is similar to the Supreme Court case of Horton v California. The police were running a search warrant to look for evidence in an armed robbery but only the things stolen. The judge didnāt put firearms and other items used in the robbery in the actual warrant. When they ran the warrant, the police did not find the stolen items, but did inadvertently find the weapons, handcuffs, stun, guns, and handcuff key used. The defendant filed an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. The complaint was that the warrant did not mention the weapons and other evidence. It only mentioned the stolen items. Since the government accidentally found these other items not listed on the warrant, they could not be used. It sounds like a similar claim from some J6 defendants. Since the police were looking for evidence in reference to the protest and accidentally discovered other crimes, they canāt be used against them. š¤£š¤£š¤£ But donāt let the facts slow you downā¦.

No, itās mutually beneficial. Looking at just a couple of NATO members, their contributions seems to match their GDP. An example the US uses 3.4% of its GDP for NATO but Poland spends 3.9%. Poland is spending 15% more of their money on NATO than the US. Estonia is spending 3.4%, Latvia 3.2% and Greece who just went through a financial crisis is at 3.1%. It would be like complaining that people in Texas with 30,000,000 people pay more total in federal income taxes compared to people in Wyoming with 600,000 people. When you are 50 times bigger, it stands to reason that you will pay roughly 50 times more income tax total. Not counting just NATO but the total US defense spending is larger than (I think) the next 10 largest militariesā¦. Combined! Thatās not only NATO but involves India, China and Russia, who are not part of that organization.

I believe it exists. It used to be called affirmative action but when the Supreme Court tossed out affirmative action, they came up with a new name. DEI is affirmative action retitled.
