Unions are the only reason we don't (still) have sweatshops in this country.

Edit: I agree about the police union, but there are quite a few good ones.

To be clear, my indifference extends to other government employee unions. Private sector unions need to be strengthened and their protections extended to more workers. It would also be nice of their members remembered which party wants them destroyed.

good. I was actually shocked when I saw that. When elon did it I was more... disappointed? I'm not sure that's the right word, but I guess a part of me had hoped the richest man in the world had not gone full nazi, as it appeared he had. when he confirmed it, i wasn't shocked. when I saw a man of the cloth do it. I was stunned. I'm not religious (recovering catholic) but holy shit, in what reality did that seem smart? just stunningly dumb

As a former Florida resident, I never had any use for Cuban Republicans.  They were always viewed by me as just another flavor of one issue voter idiot - who do not care about anything but making sure the people who stayed in Cuba have no access to trade or success and happiness in life.   

My Spanish teacher in high school was a former Cuban Supreme Court justice, and a more angry, emotional, vindictive Cunt was never birthed.   She always made it very clear that teaching us was beneath her.    I’m sure it made her very sad that she could no longer be bribed to throw cases in favor of the corrupt government and oligarchs.

The Nazis were mostly Catholic and the church was okay with it.

Only about 1/3rd of the German population was Catholic.  This article from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides some factual background about the various religions in Germany and how they responded to the Nazis:

Maybe not in Utah, but firefighters are much, much less Trumpy than their police brethren.

My long time for law partners husband was a captain in the New Orleans fire department, and he and his buddies are the Trumpy-est bitches you can possibly find.

They are a unique subset, admittedly, because their entire life is devoted to receiving benefits on the government tit in a socialist way, jumping on every perceived disability category and dollar they can find.  

But they will get angry and bemoan anyone else getting government benefits.   It is what it is.

Oh well.

Soooo... 91% Trumpy instead of 98%?    Until Utah elects 1 non-republican to national office, the entire state gets no sympathy when the leopards feast  (just like TX).

Just chiming in to say "defrocked" is a phenomenal word.  Sounds exactly like what it means, and honestly should replace "fired" as what they call it when you lose your job.

I’d like to imagine a bishop yanking his collar off in a scene reminiscent of this skit

but I’m afraid that the Catholic Church has a different interpretation of the phrase dishonorable discharge.

Judaism. Just go to the synagogue and say you want to join. Then ask for recommendations for the nearest mohel to prove your dedication

Yeah, I'm not sure joining a synagogue roster with anti-semitism on the rise is the best idea. 

I'd go with Mormon or Scientology or Methodist. The first two, folks will think you're a weirdo and leave you alone...maybe. And pretty sure Methodists are used to people not showing up, so...

This eliminates the first 2 choices. Fairly certain the Mormons check your 1040 to verify your tithe was at least 10%.

My goodness. Remember when Trump got on Truth social and said he was sending the military into California to turn the water back or whatever? 
I thought that was just some crazy talk. However, it seems to have had a grain of “Truth”, as it were.

It appears the Army Corps of Engineers was ordered by an appointee to drain full reservoirs into flooded farmland without telling anyone or coordinating anything, and sent farmers, local politicians and others into a scramble to stop it before it destroyed equipment and crops. 
 


For the record, Tulare County voted 60-40 for Trump. 
 

the best people

It remains to be seen whether their incompetence will ultimately enhance or mitigate the disaster, but it is clear we're not dealing with a competent bunch (shocker)

Defucked for downsized. Defrocked for fired for cause.

Read that the Swiss government used to, and still might, automatically deduct a tithe from your paycheck. Which might explain why “no religion” was the largest denomination.

I'm not an economist or a foreign policy expert. But I imagine economic decline and disruption in Mexico will ... maybe incentivize border crossings. But that was never the point anyway.

I am not so sure. IIRC the best time in relatively recent Mexican history was from the 40s to the 70s when I believe they were running inside their own economic bubble. Maybe some uncouth Gringo flailings revive the almost religious pride in doing things that way, instead of the current "do backflips for money."

It is Mexico, and we are us, so given our mutual track record I expect to be disappointed.

That person ranks very high on the "What the fuck did you think was going to happen?" scale.  Did you not watch TV in the months leading up to the election and see the million Republican ads about the evil trans folk?

So, as a result of this ruling, the mostly blue states that sued will continue to receive funding, but the red states that are going along with Trump's idiocy will not.

A federal judge ordered the White House to keep money flowing to 22 states.

A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to keep taxpayer dollars flowing to 22 Democratic-leaning states for all congressionally approved government programs, including those that could run afoul of President Trump’s ideological tests.

The decision, signed by Judge John J. McConnell Jr., is a temporary but significant victory for the Democratic attorneys general from those states and the District of Columbia, who sued the administration in U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. The order applies only to the states that filed the lawsuit.

It requires the administration not to “pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate” taxpayer money already allocated by Congress.

The 13-page order, for which Judge McConnell did not specify an expiration date, adds an obstacle to Mr. Trump’s plans to aggressively reshape the government around his own agenda; a federal judge in Washington, D.C., issued an earlier administrative stay on Tuesday blocking the initial order from the White House Office of Management and Budget to freeze as much as $3 trillion in federal money while the review for ideological compliance continued. That stay was set to expire on Monday.

The Trump administration has sent conflicting signals about the freeze, rescinding the memo that ordered it but signaling that the review of the ideological tilt of previously funded federal programs would continue.

“This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze,” the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said on Wednesday, in a social-media post that was introduced as evidence in the lawsuit. She added that the president’s executive orders “on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”

Judge McConnell’s order countermanded that claim, calling out Ms. Leavitt’s statement and requiring the Trump administration not to reintroduce the freeze “under any other name or title.”

The freeze, however brief, caused chaos. State governments were abruptly locked out of portals that reimbursed them for basic services like Medicaid, housing subsidies and school lunches.

The White House withdrew the order in the face of legal challenges and public backlash, but the fight is just beginning over how much authority Mr. Trump can exercise over spending in his efforts to implement his agenda.

Judge McConnell’s Friday order does not block the Trump administration from continuing its review, only from defunding those programs that fail its tests in the states that sued — New York, California, Illinois, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin, along with the District of Columbia.

In that sense, it may create a divide between Democratic states that will continue to have funds flowing and Republican states that will still face uncertainty.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Rob Bonta, attorney general for California, said in a statement that he was “grateful for the court’s decision.” He accused the Trump administration of “intentionally creating chaos” and “attempting to sow fear and confusion in our communities.”

The series of executive orders mandating reviews of existing programs are still in force. The litmus tests range from the specific, such as ending assistance to sanctuary cities that decline to help with immigration enforcement and rescinding subsidies for electric vehicles, to the opaque, such as defunding “infiltration” of diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, “environmental justice” and schools that teach “subversive, harmful, and false ideologies.”

The Supreme Court already answered the question of whether the president can withhold congressionally allocated money in 1975, said David A. Super, a professor at Georgetown Law. That was when the court found that President Richard Nixon could not direct the Environmental Protection Agency to withhold money allocated to cities for sewers and sewage treatment under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.

“The Supreme Court unanimously held that the president has no inherent authority to withhold the money,” he said.

But the current court has shown deference to presidential authority and a willingness to overturn its own precedent.
