  1. Didn't see it posted anywhere, but the Milwaukee judge, Dugan, was convicted on one felony count of obstructing federal agents. She was acquitted on the misdemeanor count. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/12/18/milwaukee-county-judge-hannah-dugan-found-guilty-of-felony-obstruction/87675227007/ Appeal incoming.
  2. The point is not whether there's fraud or not. There is. The point is that this is racist propaganda.
  3. Yep, it's like a lot of things Trump. Somewhere buried in all the bullshit, there's a nugget of truth.
  4. UK hitting 0.080 and DeLeye negative.
  5. The point is not that the fraud announced in this particular release is de minimis or that fraud doesn't exist. The point is, the United States Department of Justice used this relatively small fraud involving a small number of people to take shots at political enemies in the form of the State of Minnesota, Tim Walz, Somalians and so on, without any evidentiary basis to do so. That's not DOJ standard operating procedure.
  6. No one's denying that fraud occurs, even on a massive scale. But they're alleging $9B in fraud, without evidence (as media likes to say), and slandering Somalis in the process. There may be a pony in there somewhere, but this is a load of shit. Also, look at how legitimate DOJ press releases that allege massive fraud work in the past: they cite indictments and actual loss numbers, even if those may be subject to proof and "optimistic" or overstated. Rarely do you see a $2.1M indictment, not against Somalian defendants, that leads to an unsupported speculation of $9B in losses attributable to Somalis.
  7. For some reason, Africans seem to be perpetrators of these medical frauds, Nigerians especially. One reason, it seems a fair number of them have medical or patient-care credentials.
  8. Yeah, as noted on the thread where this first came up, this is a "common good" site. They're the more intelligent and polite variant of MAGA. The common-gooders do analyze problems pretty well, but their solutions are too moralistic for and probably most of us.
  9. No one has said fraud isn't a problem. We've doubted the amount, locale, and perpetrators of the fraud.
  10. Yeah, white engineers are typically male and kinda have it made, even to this day. Make it a little more rarified and slap a law degree on there and it's still white dude heaven. In firms, we always highly prized women and POC applicants because they were pretty rare. And, as brisket notes, in a field where academics are prioritized, women are highly likely to have beat all the male asses.
  11. Marine biologist. But screenwriter may be worse.
  12. Yeah, what she seems to have meant was the profit margin dropped from 1000% to 600%.
  13. Yep. Rat chere in Texas. https://www.fox4news.com/news/48-texans-charged-nationwide-14-6-billion-healthcare-fraud-takedown Biggest takedown supposedly in US history. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/national-health-care-fraud-takedown-results-324-defendants-charged-connection-over-146 But here, the numbers actually add up. Also, funny, not a single one in the D. Minn.
  14. Poor aggy
  15. Probably pretty important to note that "expired US Attorney appointment" pretty much means the appointee is unconfirmable by the Senate. And the Senate confirmed Judge Janine. So, we're talking assclowns like Ed Martin, Alina Habba, and Lindsey Halligan. Add Joe Thompson, the commenter here.
  16. Probably. But a lot of the people behind Trump, like P2025, Thiel and the weirdos, are the kind of Republicans that could never get elected. Trump gave them a free pass From the comments: Thanks for helping us understand how folks end up voting for Trump.
  17. It's still Nike shit yes, but it is a separate entity for licensing purposes. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/florida-makes-big-move-joining-jordan-brands-growing-college-football-footprint/
  18. So, apparently those teams with the jumping Jordan logo have deals with "The Jordan Brand" division of Nike, not Nike per SE. It spills over from time to time.
  19. There's one.
  20. I will say that the article is not that far out there. It does accept that the designation of narco-terrorists is on the same level as ISIS, Taliban, etc., which is not really true.
  21. Well, a lot of em seem to be chickening out.
  22. An article from Reason https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trumps-somali-insults-disgrace-123045459.html This gives you the idea that all of this is more or less cooked up. The Trump administration digs around for some minority group, preferably black, to shit on, and finds some ostensible reason to do so, whether factual or not. And then turns it into eating cats and dogs. And, this would seem to be a sign of Bari Weiss' CBS news following the script.
  23. It's also exploding all over right wing media, as intended. And no doubt where GRU Horn got it. Oh gee, and Chris Rufo has been blathering about it for a month at least. https://www.city-journal.org/article/minnesota-welfare-fraud-somalia-al-shabaab
  24. Funny, child support puts a price tag on the cost of raising children and makes it a point of resentment. But given Texas' low rates, that monthly check is probably less than you'd have spent if you stayed hitched.
