I’ve had similar experiences with sales people falling for other’s sales techniques. Somehow they don’t see it!

Any evidence at all for this claim?

Not everyone agrees with you.

Which means we no longer need to store and handle them securely, right? Can I have yours?

They don't care about facts. At this point I think it is fair to say they don't understand what a fact is. They prefer "alternative facts", which is another way of saying they will claim, without evidence, or even with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that anything which aligns with their feelings or beliefs, or serves their purposes, is a fact, reality be damned.

Hard to do when you’re a coward. Some things are more important in the long term for a company than the next quarter’s results.

Every person and every company which cares about democracy, freedom, … should collectively stand up to these bullies. They aren’t smart, they aren’t tough; they’re greedy, undisciplined, unethical, amoral, narcissistic, thin-skinned, unintelligent bullies. They whine and moan and will crumble if we just stood up to them. So why don’t we?

Nope. They’re just not letting a tragedy go to waste. The environment is ripe for them to continue their authoritarian project.

It’s absolutely an overreach and there’s no chance this is the high water mark. Things are going to get much, much worse before there’s any hope of things calming down.

That’s a feature for them. Are you against fascism? Congrats, your rights have been reduced. Pray they don’t reduce them further.

And with the neutering of lower courts to impose nationwide injunctions, they’ll get pretty far before we get a final judicial ruling, likely on the shadow docket.

I believe it was reported that Cook, the Fed Governor in question, didn't fill out the paperwork incorrectly, but rather the bank entered the info incorrectly into their system.

Yes, that is the reason. Trump's only motivation for every word he speaks and action he takes is for his benefit, exclusively. That's his entire ethos.

May you one day be on the receiving end of the system of justice you claim to be trustworthy, prudent, and impartial.

Pretty sure OP is referring to the propaganda this admin spewed about DOGE's purpose being to save money. An admin that actually cared about saving money wouldn't waste money on a pointless rebrand.

Wait, some people actually believed the numbers doge put out? Why? Do you also believe that tesla FSD will be available ten years ago?

What percentage of vg jobs were in California prior to these cuts?

> The problem is authorities just let people get away with these things for so long, especially if it was from a certain side.

Are we talking about the rich, powerful, and the politically connected side? Because they kinda get away with everything. Just look at the current administration, they clearly don't believe any laws apply to themselves. When the justice system doesn't administer justice, eventually the people take justice into their own hands, which is what we're starting to see more and more often. Hopefully justice will eventually prevail.

Cowards aren't known for standing up for their convictions.

> I doubt he would win another (unrigged) election.

Many people said the same thing between 2017 and 2021.

SOME people like the idealized concept of a dictator. Those people are fools.

Sounds like a man in need of a real-life educational experience! Really show us how enjoyable the experience is. Perhaps they could have masked officials without identification round up other politicians with the slavery-wasn't-so-bad mindset, put them in chains without due process, and ship them to the areas of the country where the crops are rotting in the fields due to their immigration policy. At night they could be housed in Alligator Alcatraz / Speedway Slammer / Deportation Depot / Cornhusker Clink / ...

I believe we refer to that as “telling on yourself”.

A sizable subset of the very slight majority which elected him were conned by an expert conman, again, and very quickly realized their mistake, which is reflected in the polls.

People didn’t vote to end democracy, they voted for what a liar promised them, and will be utterly incapable of achieving for them: a lower cost of living.

Poor education, both intellectual and emotional, is the root cause, leading to this monster regaining power. No wonder he loves the poorly educated.

No, start considering the source. If a mental patient tells you that a stock is a good investment, do you buy? No, so why listen to a man who lies with every word he speaks?

If Kamala had been elected president the debt would've grown, but at a lower rate than under Trump, and her policies would've benefited regular folk, not just gazillionaires.

Kamala also isn't in the Epstein files and doesn't have a history of sexual assault, and certainly wouldn't have moved that absolute demon Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security club fed because she was willing to provide testimony to deflect from Kamala's crimes (of which there are none).

Shall I go on?

You chose one of the most incompetent, nonsensical, unethical, greedy, lecherous humans on this planet, who also has an absolute lack of morals or empathy, because he said he'd reduce the deficit / debt? What did you think was going to happen?

I hope you take this misstep as an opportunity for self reflection.

Imagine the kind of soulless ghoul you'd have to be to contribute to this deportation.

They are slightly left wing and report accurately on Trump, which to many means they are anti-Trump. Those people should accept the reality of what Trump is, but sadly for the rest of us, they won't.

Section 2 of the 14th Amendment mandates that the apportionment of Representatives among the states be based on "counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed". This means that the census counts everyone residing in a state for the purpose of determining that state's representation in Congress.

Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution mandates that an apportionment of representatives among the states must be carried out every 10 years

Which is their goal

I've been cycling several thousand miles a year for many, many years, and in my experience I can certainly "outrun" a bad diet. Go for a 40 mile bike ride 5 days a week and you'll have a difficult time eating enough food.

A couple years ago I added weight lifting to my regimen and I could never eat enough. Most days of the week I'd stop by mcdonalds to pick up a couple mcdoubles as a snack. I was easily consuming 4-5 thousand calories a day (150-175 grams of protein) and I was still losing weight while gaining muscle. At one point I was sub-10% body fat whilst eating a mix of healthy food and junk food. Every visit my personal trainer was telling me to eat more.

If you're interested in losing weight while eating whatever you want I suggest doing 10-15 hours of fairly intense cardio per week, and 2-3 very intense lifting sessions per week.

> And my own comment above is downvoted for some reason.

Perhaps because you're defending, and assuming good faith behavior, from an organization which is committing violations against your fellow man on a daily basis?
