Shareholders can sue if the board doesn't do the thing that will maximize shareholder value. Probably the basic underlying problem with companies that sell stock.

THEN LET THEM. First time around we coddled them. Let them suffer the consequences this time.

So, let's just reintroduce poll tax.

Wait, Florida's "you must pay all fees if you are an ex felon to get the right to vote back" already did that.

We aren't deporting enough. Quickly, fire the people doing the deporting! That will speed things up!

You know he’s not president anymore, right? And that party lost the election?

Maybe, just maybe, it is because something is wrong in-of-itself and not because it is a wedge issue used to demotivate voters?

Senator Menendez: "My timing sucks!"

This, strangely, is one thing republicans have in the past been upset over - and I have no idea why. You would think their support of for-profit prisons and there support of detaining all undocumented immigrants would mean this would fit perfectly, but from Clinton out to Biden every time someone tried this, Republicans got irrationally upset over it.

Someone has a virtual copy of "Keep talking and nobody explodes" and a Quest headset and by jobe they are going to use it.

Musk is currently reviewing it for DEI terms. Also Trump just fired the Sony board and declared himself president of Sony.

May I introduce you to Terry Pratchett's Boots theory?

Biden wasn't able to fire a simple postmaster, but somehow Trump found out he had the power to fire the board at the Kennedy center?

That is, unless they get military assistance.

Let me introduce you the headache inducing law know as the Posse Comitatus act

Biden deported from places that wanted to deport people, like Texas. Trump is focusing on places that restrict cooperation with ICE. They have/had the same man power to do the deportations. Of course Trump's numbers are going to be lower.

Trump: "If food prices are so high, what if we just... keep all the food here? That will bring them down, right?"

Wasn't Missouri the place where Rush Limbaugh's cousin saw the words on the amendment: "Allow abortion", said "This amendment clearly allows kids to get sex changes" and then went "No one was informed that they were supporting child sex change when they signed, so I call fraud and I'm striking the amendment from the ballot."

Then the people running the amendment campaign told the state supreme court: "We didn't tell anyone that this would support child sex changes because it doesn't. We have no idea what crazy pills Limbaugh is on," and the state supreme court was like: "Ya, he is an idiot."

Sounds like the legislator's "clarification" is just a continuation of this "let's tie trans stuff to abortion" theme.

To be fair, Borris was the first American born British PM. So, you could still blame us.

Just once I would like to have a Republican senator running on an ultra-conservative platform get elected and the reveal they are secretly an ultra-progressive.

Fair, I just see no other way of swaying minds without consequences. We tried 4 years of shielding people from Trump's baser urges, and we ended with thousands of people dying each day to COVID. Then 4 year later THEY VOTED HIM BACK IN.

In 2016, people thought that Trump was the problem. That if Trump left, we could have civility restored to the electoral process. Defeating Trump won't solve the problem because he isn't it - it is the electorate. The voters need to SEE what will happen when this or that occur.

Deport all the immigrants, see the damage that brings, then bring them back with legal protections this time.

Cancel all the science, see how far behind we get, then bring it back with all the funding to make the next moonshot.

Get rid of all fogien aid, watch as our global power dimishes, the vote to bring it back with a clear and true purpose other than empire building.

The people don't know WHY these things are important, and are unwilling to listen or learn. Thus, the only teacher is to experience. But to quote Trump: "There will be some pain" when doing it.

Blue states should do it to and unilaterally cut police budgets and corporate welfare.
