One of the strangest things about getting older is realizing no one actually knows what the fuck they’re doing.
And now the democrats will take heat for suspending the disinformation board, because democrats will never learn that no matter what they do the right will always criticize them for being radical leftist.
if there were a more clear example of Biden and his administration being stuck in 1990. this is pretty embarrassing. Letting the Right win and literally own the Internet
Don't even have to go back that far. The Obama admin got played as bad, if not worse, the late 2000s with the ACORN shutdown.
Honestly it's a really stupid idea. You're effectively setting up a govt agency that will be eventually taken over by the GOp and be the most absurd propaganda. It's not going to help the 40% of this country that are brainwashed
Would be absolutely amazing watching yhe do nothing democrats getting their ass handed to them by leftists then take oflver the democrat party
oh cool, just a decision implying administrative agency enforcement power is unconstitutional. "unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the SEC" is an insane thing to write in an opinion about the SEC in 2022 and signals there is a good chunk of judges who will write the same opinion for multiple regulatory agencies. The entire administrative state is based on Congress's ability to delegate legislative power. Ruling from 5th Circuit doesn't make this law of the land or anything, but I bet this goes to the Supreme Court.
If this holds up flying in an airplane will be an interesting experience. Also eating food, drinking water, and driving on bridges.
this makes me so happy. I hate that smug fucker Not even a dime: JPMorgan investors rejected a $52.6M bonus retention for CEO Jamie Dimon, a rare occurrence for the long-time CEO JPMorgan Shareholders Deny Jamie Dimon’s Special Payout Getting rejected always hurts. Getting rejected, and losing out on tens of millions of dollars in the process, hurts even more. Just ask Jamie Dimon. On Tuesday, JPMorgan Chase shareholders voted against a pay plan for the bank’s six top executives, which would’ve seen Dimon awarded $50 million as a one-off award. Go ahead and shed a crocodile tear or two. Dimon’s in the Rough Only 31% of shareholders voted yes as part of the “say on pay” vote to award the executives a total of $201 million for their work in 2021. It’s a harsh rebuke of Dimon and his leadership team, which helped steer the megabank to record earnings last year, and marks a razor-sharp reversal of last year’s 90% vote of support for similar executive payouts. What’s more, it's the first time an executive pay package has failed to earn shareholder approval since the “say on pay” vote was instituted at the bank in 2009. While the resolution is nonbinding, the bank’s Compensation & Management Development Committee does take votes into account. The rebuke could signal a failure by shareholders and the board to see eye to eye on the bank’s future. The board says the proposed package reflected its desire to see the 66-year-old Dimon remain at the helm for years to come, but shareholders are increasingly wary of the bank's newfound willingness to spend: • In February, shareholders criticized Dimon for offering too few details on an ambitious plan to spend $15 billion — most of it on new technologies meant to fend off disruptive fintechs (for context, that amount is more than the GDP of Belarus, a traditional hub of high-tech talent). The reversal in Dimon’s typically cost-conscious habits marks a 50% increase in spending compared to 2019. • “Excessive one-off grants to the CEO and COO amid tepid relative performance worsen longstanding concerns regarding the company’s executive pay program,” Glass Lewis, an influential proxy advisor, wrote in a letter urging shareholders to reject the pay package. JPMorgan’s share price is down roughly 30% from an October high, and is now below pre-pandemic levels. Jamie Rides the Bus: Dimon, worth $1.6 billion according to Forbes, earned $34.5 million from the bank in 2021 — though mostly in the form of restricted stock. New York City Mayor Eric Adams would like to see him spend some of it in $2.75 increments — Adams urged Dimon and other high-profile CEOs to “ditch their customary black cars” and take the subway to work, as a way of encouraging workers to return to the city. If Dimon is denied his $50 million, he may have to seriously consider the offer.
SCOTUS won't abolish the administrative state entirely. Gorsuch's proposed test that he wrote in a dissent is basically just a naked power grab for the Court. Essentially instead of Congress getting pretty much unlimited latitude to delegate authority, SCOTUS will get to pick and choose which delegations are appropriate. And they're all corrupt right wing zealots! Great!
How long before everyone who blamed the government for the shortage now say it's government overreach to fix it?
The dissent skewers the majority opinion. I’m not holding my breath that this gets overturned, but it absolutely should based on precedent.
Even more recently the firing of Shirley Sherrod https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_of_Shirley_Sherrod Democrats never fucking learn
The wiki of the dude this fifth circuit decision is about is wild. He’s a real one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Jarkesy?wprov=sfti1
Politics are very dumb bc I’d imagine that in a normal world Biden just goes to a podium and says it’s bc of trump and just reverses it
No he’s not, he’s an evil cumguzzling piece of shit just like you Joe. Hopefully the democrats can get enough senators so they can tell you to fuck off and die
The primaries have shown that the democratic electorate wants a more progressive Congress. The fever dream is Speaker Jayapal and a 54D-46R Senate...
What the hell happened to her? IMO her politics came from a sincere place, but she was just kind of an idiot about tactics/force the vote type of stuff. This is legit Jimmy Dore territory.
She and several other lefties morphed into this post-left hackery over the past two years if you've seen the dumb shit they post on Twitter, a lot of it started with the Force The Vote (a House floor vote for M4A they knew would likely fail but put targets on centrist Dems' backs). They're basically trying to prove that the horseshoe theory is valid except they really aren't leftists anymore.
The group that think they need to prove their leftist bona fides by criticizing the dems at every turn are just the worst. There are plenty of thing to criticize without having to defend the fascist shit. Which is your point about the horseshoe theory
The irony of the replacement theory is that it is real and it was in fact sort of successful, but it’s not something that is happening now or in the recent past. The great replacement came about from US immigration that occurred between 1880 to about 1965, when it became US policies to bring immigrants from Europe in order to squash the black majority that existed in the southern and Southwestern states. What people like Tucker Carlson are seeing is the natural correction of an immigration policy that was never going to be sustainable.
Was reminded of a rumor that Thiel is paying BJG now for this kind of shit, it's almost certain he's paying Greenwald and she sounds just like him here.
How? Money. She got bought off. Also, people toss around the "horseshoe theory" shit too much. If the words "Tucker was right" ever come out of someone's mouth, particularly on the subjects of race or immigration, they're no longer a leftist. Period. End of discussion.
This was precisely my point fyi. Lot of centrist Dems are using examples like this to punch left but these people are grifters and are absolutely not leftists anymore.
The double edge sword on this is that if you point it out that those people are grifters then it’ll get used to paint all leftist as grifters because at the end of the day the people who attack leftist are disingenuous people who are incapable of thinking understanding that some people are genuinely interested in making other people’s lives better.
