    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    Actually, they couldn't indict, either. Which is why he was only facing misdemeanor charges instead of a felony.

    Shocking no one, the Subway Bandit was found not guilty of assaulting an ICE agent.

    SCOTUS: sponsored by Harlan Crow

    He's been doing that since they changed the format and all justices get a set chance to ask questions. I honestly think his prior silence was mainly that he didn't want to interrupt people.

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Excluding every time they have their hands out for that sweet, sweet federal aid. Which somehow isn't socialism or a handout. Also, farmers may not be poor, but they're also some of the cheapest sumbitches around. Maybe that's why they love Trump, because he welches on payments for services...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Nationalization of politics. It's almost easier because we're lily white. 'Those people' are stealing your tax dollars. The replacement of local newspapers with Fox News has really hurt in the county seat cities like Dubuque, Mason City, etc that used to be the blue dots in red areas thanks to...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    I just ran a basic payment calculator on the dealer's website. Didn't account for trade-in, down payment, or negotiating down price and/or interest rate from sticker price. $41k car (CRV hybrid) with a 60-month loan with a credit score over 800 still gave me like a $585/mo payment. Even a base...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Took my 9 year old CRV in for a tune-up and found it needed a new timing chain (in fairness, it has 165k miles). That caused me to look briefly at new cars since I didn't really want to sink that much money into a high mileage car, but one look at prices and was like "nope, fix up the old one."...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Just and reasonable rates has been the standard for utility regulation since public utilities became regulated (technically, it's "safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates"). That isn't some new design or framework that's meant to insulate data centers at the expense of residential...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Cable Companies/ISPs are weird. Went to pay my monthly internet bill, and decided to just check on adding/upgrading service since they just merged with T-Mobile. Turns out I've been paying $10/month more for 500 megabit service than if I upgraded to gigabit service. So I did that. And after...

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    I knew that guy back at Dartmouth he was a couple of years younger than me. I would not have expected him to go full MAGA at the time (I considered him a country club Republican at the time), but this latest move is not surprising given what he did in the first Trump term.

    Just saying, is anyone really surprised when any social media platform gets enshittified? Bluesky may be better than Twitter, but it still needs to pay its bills which means driving engagement which means hitting the outrage button early and often.

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    So this is my area of practice, and obviously I'm coming from the legal side but I know enough of the business side to be dangerous. If the build out is done correctly, residential customers shouldn't be hurt. They could even benefit since the data centers will cover proportionally more of...

    The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

    I mean, they already do in most states. Most state bars, including admissions and disciplinary boards, are technically run by the state's judicial branch. The bigger deal is that not requiring ABA accreditation means you're going to get shitty unaccredited law schools showing up, ala California.

    The GOP always has the option of nuking the filibuster to pass it with their simple majorities. The fact that they haven't means they don't think the shutdown will blow back on them.

    Religion: Communion Toast Crunch

    Looks like yet another Pope disagrees with joecct that you can support the death penalty and still be pro-life. “Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,” the pope explained...

    The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

    Granted, I never worked with the BOEE, so it's possible their structure is more set up to issue orders like this on an expedited basis. But the licensing boards I used to work with would take at least a month to issue even an emergency order at their next scheduled meeting, and regular...

    Here's how bad local media has gotten. Despite being a national story, the Des Moines Register has wiped all stories about the superintendent off its front page. No followup stories since 8:00 last night.

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    Allegedly it was a traffic stop, which ICE doesn't have authority to do. They've trumped up allegations that he's in the country illegally (his family moved here from Guyana when he was a kid, beyond that no clue if they filed paperwork correctly, but since he's had to clear several FBI...
