Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

[ScoobyDoo]

It's funny how I can know something is true and this administration just ignores it.

“Instead of helping the 5 million borrowers that have fallen into default and the millions more that are behind and now at risk of default later this year, this Administration appears set on inflicting massive economic harm on millions of Americans.

— Aissa Canchola Bañez, Student Borrower Protection Center

Commentary: Forget tariffs — GOP proposals on student loans will crack the economy

GOP budget proposals will raise costs on student loans, push more borrowers into default and cut assistance programs to the bone — putting college out of reach for millions of households.

Clueless moron finally figures out that he's screwing over the United States.

"Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace," Trump wrote on the social media platform he owns.

Appears the original Trump tax cut totally fucked the tech industry.

Massive Tech Layoffs May Be the Fault of a 2017 Trump Tax Cut

A new theory of the tech industry's economic woes has been found.

gizmodo.com

We are now an anti-intellectual, anti-research, anti-science, anti-engineering nation.

It turns out that a little-known provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 altered a longstanding loophole, known as Section 174, that allowed the tech industry to offload the cost of its research and development operations onto the federal government. Prior to the TCJA, tech companies could deduct 100 percent of the costs of R&D, allowing tech businesses the freedom to commit significant resources towards innovation. Bloomberg reports that, as Congress sought to find a way to offset the cost of giving big tax cuts to billionaires, one place where they discovered fat to trim was the tech industry’s R&D funding.

That tells me that he has a property or two that is having "staffing" issues because of the current happenings.

Too late now. He's scared everyone, and screwed up what was already a screwed up system even more. Crops are going to die. People are going to die. Economies are going to die.

Saddest part is that these arrests and other harassment of prominent Dem politicians like Newsome is actually an effective tactic for the fascists, because it creates sympathy and gives attention to these feckless, ineffective people while keeping the attention away from potential new and effective people.

That may be true, but Gavin has been around a long time and Trump has been feuding with him forever so I don't think this will affect him all that much long term. When this dies down people will go back to hating him for attacking the homeless and cozying up to Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon.

This is like when people in NY hated having to like Cuomo and DeBlasio during the Pandemic. As soon as they could they flipped on him again. Same will hold true for Gavin. He is too well defined already. Plenty of time for him to "Corey Booker" it up if you know what I mean

BREAKING: Ninth Circuit panel issues an "administrative stay" of Judge Breyer's order — which would therefore mean Trump's activation of the California National Guard would remain in effect — through at least Tuesday. The panel is made up of two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee.

No he didn't. He pretended he did then caveated out of it by saying the criminals are taking jobs in those industries which is a defense of what he is doing. All he did was try and bait the people to come back (but still allowing ICE to walk in to meet their quota. Whatever BS EO he might sign will have less teeth than most.

Democrats seized on Trump's new posture. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, in a post on X, wrote: "Step 1: Trump creates a problem Step 2: Blames it on Joe Biden, who isn’t even president Step 3: Posts a rant about his solution — which doesn’t actually offer a solution."

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

One question about the timing of the criminal charges against Mr. Abrega Garcia, which are tied to a 2022 Tennessee traffic stop, was answered by a DHS special agent now testifying. The agent said he was asked to begin his investigation on April 28 of this year. @tennesseelookout.com...
