You don't need $10 billion in revenue. You could just coast along and only hit, what, $9.8 billion? And then you wouldn't have to ruin 500 people's lives. I'm betting the CEO has a bonus scheduled if he hits this goal.
Punchline for those who don't want to read the article: He's Puerto Rican.
“I feel terrible for the American people because it’s not the American people, and it’s not even elected officials, it’s one person,”
Like hell. Congress is the one thing with the power to end this madness. The Republicans in control of both houses are absolutely responsible as they are doing literally nothing to rein in Trump's madness.
No shit. Now convince the democratic party leadership that winning elections is more important that kissing donor ass.
It is absolutely clear now. The DNC is a private company whose main function is to fund raise, period. If they also win an election then that's great, but if it comes to a choice between winning and raising money, they will choose raising money. They will never move to the left to win voters if it will cost them fund raising opportunities from the center and right.
He put up an ad with these two girls' pictures and then claimed that they were transgender? What the fuck kind of thinking is that? Does he not care that his supporters would likely beat these girls to death?
I guess it was gradual, but when did it become the job of journalists to try and guess what politicians mean when they make statements? Shouldn't the meaning be made clear by the speaker? Right now it seems like its:
Trump: Speaks rambling gibberish saying something about a faucet
Journalists: "It seems like Trump is talking about the Columbia river and here's why that is significant..."
Oh dear gods... Please do not pull this "I'm going to work with the other side" nonsense. The republican party is morally bankrupt and it is no longer possible to reach across the aisle without pulling back a hand that's missing a ring, watch, or maybe some fingers. Just stop with this centrist bullshit!
In Florida convicted felons may not vote until their sentences have been served and they have paid all outstanding fines and restitution.
Okay, that is just not true. I don't understand how Former Florida appeals court judge Philip Padovano doesn't get that. Trump is clearly able to vote now under Florida law.
The law states that:
A felony conviction in Florida for murder or a sexual offense makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida unless and until the person’s right to vote is restored by the State Clemency Board.
For any other felony conviction in Florida, a person is eligible to register and vote if the person has completed all terms of his or her sentence. Completion of the sentence means: Prison or jail time; Parole, probation, or other forms of supervision; and Payment of the total amount of all fines, fees, costs, and restitution ordered as part of the felony sentence.
On the surface, that sounds like Trump shouldn't be allowed to vote, but note that this first section refers to convictions in Florida. The law goes on to state that:
>A felony conviction in another state makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted.
He was convicted in New York. Here is the pertinent law in New York:
A new law passed in 2021, restores the right to vote for a person convicted of a felony upon release from incarceration, regardless of if they are on parole or have a term of post-release supervision. If a convicted felon is not incarcerated, they are eligible to register to vote.
Since he is not incarcerated in NY, he is eligible to vote in NY and therefore eligible to vote in FL. Sad to say, but it's true. Don't waste your time on this one, there's plenty of real stuff to go after him for.
I think she just overplayed her hand. Smith has already said that she has made a clear error and asked her to reconsider. When she refuses to change her mind, he will appeal this ruling and win and she will be reprimanded yet again. The appeals court can decide, if they feel the error is egregious enough, to replace her. I hope Smith is just giving her enough rope to hang herself.
Contact the lawyers of the Jane Doe who claims Trump and Epstein raped her at the age of 13. She dropped the case due to death threats. Maybe she could be convinced to go forward with it now if Carroll pays for legal costs and heavy 24/7 security for her. Trump would really hate that.

You don't say. That kind of seemed obvious from the very fucking start. Trump is absurdly incompetent or he is actively working to destroy the country. I honestly can't tell which it is.
