Trump is doing a great job of creating a groundswell of Canadian national pride. Dare I say that he’s Making Canada Great Again? He’s even doing a great job with the MEGA movement over in Europe.

“It’s really hurtful for the president to insinuate that you don’t exist or that your job consisted of sitting at home doing nothing and cashing the paycheck,” he says. “I’d like to see him sifting through spiny naiad in 120-degree weather looking for parasitic snails. He’s the one that goes golfing on the government dime. I don’t even know how to golf.”

Exactly. I'd like to see the golfer's reaction to a giant Slor! Many MAGA and MUSKS will know what it is to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Well, even so, the appeals process would have prevented that from being final, both of the conviction itself and the disqualification. And, in the meantime, it would have made no difference.

In the type of government Trump wants someone accused of those crimes would be in jail and disqualified pre-emptively.

Honest question for which I should probably know the answer:  is sentencing always delayed until the appeal process has been exhausted?

Quite the opposite usually.  A conviction is not final for trial and appeal purposes until the defendant has been sentenced.  That's the first stage of final, meaning appealable because everything is concluded in the trial court.  The final stage of final is convicted, sentenced, appeals exhausted.

“She has somehow been convinced that public servants are a parasite and unproductive even though she was a public servant,” says Jenn.

The federal job cuts are the work of DOGE, which has been tearing through agencies looking for suspected waste. No official tally of firings has been released, but the list stretches into the thousands and to nearly every part of the country.

More layoffs are expected as DOGE continues its work.

Eric Anderson, 48, of Chicago, was still absorbing the shock of being fired from his National Parks Service job as a biological science technician when he came across his aunt’s social media post celebrating the DOGE cuts. The gist, Anderson said, was, “Man, it sure is great seeing all this waste being knocked off.”

He grows angry thinking about it.

“Do you think I’m a waste?” he says, his voice rising as he recalls the post. “There are a lot of people out there that are hurting right now that are not a waste.”

Erica Stubbs, who was working as a forestry technician with the U.S. Forest Service in Boulder, Colorado, is avoiding social media after seeing hate for federal workers.

Though most people in her life have been supportive since she was fired, some have made passing comments about the necessity of eliminating jobs like hers.

“What they tell me is it’s just cutting out the waste, the excess spending — that your job’s not that important,” says 27-year-old Stubbs. “I’m not saying it’s the most important job in the world but it’s my job. It’s important to me.”

Social media is teeming with posts reveling the layoffs and urging DOGE: “Fire more!” In a fiercely divided country, many saw the cutbacks through their own political lens.

One man’s devastation, it turns out, can be another man’s delight.

Riley Rackliffe, who was working as an aquatic ecologist at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada, was buoyed that his firing led so many friends and relatives to reach out, offering to pass his resume along, call their congressman or even help with his mortgage.

Mixed with that, though, has been the vitriol.

When his firing made the local news, a Facebook posting of the story led to a storm of comments deriding him and championing the layoffs. One person called Riley, who is 36 and holds a Ph.D., a “glorified pool boy” whose job nearly anyone could do.

Even some of Rackliffe’s friends paired their expressions of consolation for Rackliffe with support for cutting jobs they contended were unnecessary government bloat.

“Hey, I’m sorry you lost your job but I think we really need to cut out some of this waste in the government,” Rackliffe said one friend texted him, saying he supported DOGE’s aims. “He basically said, ’We’ve got to do this. We’ve got to rip off the Band-Aid.”

What stings most, Rackliffe says, is the contention that people like him were lazy and worthless, collecting big paychecks for meaningless work.

“It’s really hurtful for the president to insinuate that you don’t exist or that your job consisted of sitting at home doing nothing and cashing the paycheck,” he says. “I’d like to see him sifting through spiny naiad in 120-degree weather looking for parasitic snails. He’s the one that goes golfing on the government dime. I don’t even know how to golf.”

 

 

 

But the Dems just aren't marketing well enough right @Bozo_Casanova? Totally not just pure unhinged id and hatred.

The Supreme Court gave Trump broad immunity for acts committed as President.

The biggest problem with the legal/judicial system is delay.  It is ever-present and can be exploited by a determined defendant. usually with money but there are tons of examples of poor defendants using delay to their advantage, and in some cases to force the system to work properly.  See, e.g. death penalty appeals and habeas corpus proceedings.

Delay is not completely inherent to the system, but is a byproduct of funding/resources.

And, while the legal/judicial system ultimately failed, the failure was proximately caused by the failure of the political system.

The legal system's job was not to see that Trump couldn't stand for or win a subsequent election, that was a potential byproduct.  Had it had the time to reach its conclusion, he likely would have been convicted in the Mar-A-Lago case.  The January 6 case was always a little hazier and left a lot of room for error.

Indicting and trying him solely to keep him out of office would be a perversion of the system akin to what we're seeing now.

OK, so why is the defendant (who has been convicted and sentenced) not in prison during the appeal?  It seems that would be emminently fair. 

Convicted, sentenced, go to prison.  Bada bing bada boom.  "Oh, you won on appeal?  OK, you walk.  Sue for damages."

Often, if a defendant is granted pretrial release, they will be left free on appeal.  It's not the same standard for release, but often the way things go.  The real standard for release on appeal is whether you have a highly meritorious appeal.

And, a criminal defendant has almost no ability to sue any aspect of the prosecutorial apparatus unless the indictment is dismissed early on.

Who judges that?

Trial judge.  It's usually a case where there are novel questions of law or something was hotly contested and the judge had to make a call that he "admits" could go either way.

Example, both Bannon and Navarro were on pretrial release on their contempt of Congress charges.  Both defended on presidential immunity.  Bannon had evidence that Trumpco communicated immunity to Congress and his lawyer informed him he didn't have to show up.  Navarro had neither.

Bannon's judge felt like he had to make a call on a DC Circuit precednt, so Bannon stayed free on appeal.  Navarro's judge didn't have to make a call because Navarro had no evidence that Trumpco invoked immunity and therefore his counsel couldn't have advised him he didn't have to go (IIRC, he didn't  have counsel, either).  Navarro went to the pokey pending appeal.

Bloomberg reporting Trump plans to sign an exec order that will restrict eligibility for a government-run student loan forgiveness targeting individuals whose work for non-profits clashes with the administration’s immigration policies. Could that be a more clear violation of the first amendment. Dictators.

A good friend of ours just had all of her student loans forgiven after working the requisite number of years. I guarantee her organization, located in CO and focused on adult literacy and education, would run afoul of Trump’s policies. I’m so glad her loans were forgiven while Biden was still in office. She was afraid this would happen.

President Donald Trump announced on Friday night that he had added Fox News hosts Maria Bartiromo and Laura Ingraham to the board of trustees at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The announcement came weeks after Trump fired much of the venue’s board and appointed himself chair.

In a post from his Truth Social account, Trump said Bartiromo and Ingraham would be the last people appointed to the center’s board of trustees.

“I am thrilled to announce that Laura Ingraham and Maria Bartiromo will be joining our Kennedy Center Board – This completes our selection,” Trump wrote. “We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America’s Golden Age. Together, we will Make the Arts Great Again!”

Other members appointed since Trump took over the Kennedy Center include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s wife, Allison Lutnick and Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance.

Bartiromo, Ingraham, Lutnick, and Vance join a board of trustees that includes Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump allies Elaine Chao, Dan Scavino


, and Susie Wiles.
Longtime Trump ally Richard Grenell currently serves as the president of the Kennedy Center.

Bartiromo and Ingraham join the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees a day after Jeffrey Seller, the producer of the musical Hamilton, announced the show would not return with Trump at the helm.

Seller said the Kennedy Center was launched “with a sincere bipartisan spirit” and added:

However, in recent weeks we have sadly seen decades of Kennedy Center neutrality be destroyed. The recent purge by the Trump Administration of both professional staff and performing arts events at or originally produced by the Kennedy Center flies in the face of everything this national cultural center represents. This spirit of nonpartisanship ended on February 7, 2025, with the firing of Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter, the Chairman of the Board David Rubenstein, and numerous other Kennedy Center board members, as well as the cancellation of important programming.These actions bring a new spirit of partisanship to the national treasure that is the Kennedy Center. Given these recent actions, our show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center. Therefore, we have cancelled the third engagement of Hamilton at the Kennedy Center, originally scheduled for March 3-April 26, 2026.

Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

When push came to shove Americans were the biggest pussies on the planet. Not even the French would stand back while this shit happens. We know for a fact the South Koreans didn't. 

Every person in a position to do something about it, including the entire secret service, have failed their oath to the US Constitution and fail it repeatedly every single day.
