"Justice Department in upheaval over order to dismiss NYC Mayor Adams' corruption case"

"Acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon,
a Republican who clerked for the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, started the exodus.

Writing to Trump's new Attorney General Pam Bondi, Sassoon accused Mayor Adams and officials in the
DOJ of what amounted to a quid pro quo, that Adams would aid Trump's immigration enforcement
if the DOJ dropped his case.

Sassoon excoriated that alleged offer, writing -- quote --

"It is a breathtaking and dangerous precedent to reward Adams' opportunistic and shifting commitments on immigration and other policy matters with dismissal of a criminal indictment."

- we are 34 trillion in debt

That must be why we are cutting taxes for the people who don't need tax cuts by raiding and stealing funds from Social Security and Medicare.

Makes perfect sense if you are completely morally and legally bankrupt.

"Who will be the next pope " and how does the conclave work?
New website sheds light on the cardinals who will elect the pontiff after Francis' death

The conclave could return a conservative, whose "appointment would send a powerful message about the direction the Church would be taking", said the Catholic Herald, or "a Pope from the developing world". A pick like the Philippines' Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle "would be hailed by liberals, given the changing demographic of the Church".

Tagle has long been one of the leading "papabili" (the contenders to be pope) as they are known in Italian, among both Vatican watchers and bookmakers.

However, in November, Italian Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's secretary of state, or highest-ranking diplomat, became the favourite with the bookmakers.

For 11 years he has survived Francis' "regular savage reshuffles", said Damian Thompson in The Spectator.

"He is regarded as a moderate who would be able to repair the damage caused by his boss's outbursts and vendettas."

Bet Herr Musk taught him the not so secret Nazi salute to use with same group of Nazis that Musk himself was saluting in the Video.

This whole bunch are the same kind of Far RWing Nazi Fascists that gave us WWII.

I gave that like 3 FFs.

It's very efficient and very hard on it's labor most Global Corporations are.

Every time I see one of our Trumpsters here talking about how they oppose Globalists and Oligarchs... I just have to wonder if this brain worm stuff is spreading.

Herr Musk will have demanded the Judge be Impeached... and doxxed the Judges kids by nightfall.

Wow... the Bald Dwarf is feeling all empowered now that his Stooge Donald is breaking up the Western Alliance, giving him chunks of Ukraine, and undermining both America's best allies and trading partners, and also democracy and the Rule of Law in the US.

Next thing you know, he'll be demanding Alaska as part of any Deal, and DJT will say, "Yes, Sir!".

God, I loved Molly Ivans. And Anne Richards. More quotable than imaginable.

Getting past 'Evangelicals realize' is difficult for most people, and rightfully so.

But there is a backlash a-brewing among a lot of different Trump constituencies.

Exactly. Peter Theil and his pet faux-redneck Shady JD are on-board to create a Corporate Authoritarian Gov by Oligarchy... with their model being Singapore, where the Leader is the Chairman of the Board selected only by the Board.

Much neater that way, no more messy democracy.

So really, it's Make America Singapore Again.

You should be happy, that's what's happening now... so, enjoy all your new price hikes.

Brainwashing complete.

Immigrants of all kinds has always been a Net Plus to the US Economy. And they are much less likely to commit crimes that are Citizens.

Social Security Cuts Being Discussed by Republicans

Feb 14, 2025 at 10:42 AM

"Republicans are publicly discussing the prospect of making cuts to mandatory spending programs, which could include programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Republican members of Congress are working on a major reconciliation bill that would renew or expand key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a landmark piece of legislation from Donald Trump's first presidency.

The TJCA, which lowered corporate, individual, and estate taxes, contains numerous provisions currently set to expire at the end of 2025. The Treasury Office of Tax Analysis estimates that extending these tax cuts could add up to $5 trillion.

West Virginia Representative Riley Moore confirmed that Republicans have been "discussing" cutting mandatory spending"that is Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits"in order to pass Trump's tax cut agenda.

Moore said "the unified government" has an opportunity "to actually address mandatory spending." Mandatory spending is the part of a government's budget that is legally required to be spent, and includes funding for entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security and other payments to people, businesses, and state and local governments."

So, must be just another day. But hey, whoring for Herr Musk is hard werk!

"This is a greed-driven company that is preying on our nation's most vulnerable and poorest people. If you can sleep at night and live with yourself while harming the poor and disabled during the day, this job is for you," reads one review on Glassdoor.

"If CareBridge is the future of healthcare then we heading to a sad state of affairs," reads another."

.

This is like an evil Twilight Zone story... unfortunately it's true.

"The drama " which recalls the Saturday Night Massacre of Watergate fame " represents the most high-profile effort yet by Justice Department officials to push back against Trump's DOJ leadership, which is tasked with ending the "weaponization" of justice but which critics fear is perpetuating it.

Danielle Sassoon, who quit as the acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York, laid out stunning allegations of political interference in a letter to new Attorney General Pam Bondi.

And she said that the New York City mayor's attorneys had repeatedly urged a quid pro quo under which Adams would help Trump's hardline immigration policy if the case were dropped."

;)

Wow... so the secret quid pro quo (that was obvious to everyone but Trumpers when the Mayor's deal was announced) just went public as patriotic DOJ officials resign in protest.

Good times!

Perhaps if you focused on the issues here rather than trying to stand out by trying, and I do mean trying... to rattle cages for attention... you know, like a troll rather than a Member.
