We can do minimal trade, and only when absolutely necessary, with Blue states.

Everything is 2 weeks Friday for this guy.

He waits until the last possible moment before the weekend to drop his bi-polar outbursts on social media...

Assuming he gets to Friday. Shit changes every few hours with him.

There seems to be some benefit to having a formal deal in place.

Yes, but the "in place" part is what's in question. You can sign a deal, and the next day Trump can say it was a bad deal and it's off the table... again.

Much of the stuff he's bickering about now are things HE negotiated during his first term! He'll never be happy, and we have to stop wasting time on this baboon and seek partnerships with leaders who aren't complete assholes.

He already flip-flopped on energy going to the states, and that was months ago. Maybe if he kept his word, we wouldn't still be playing this game.

What's the point? Even if we reach a deal, it's not like Trump is stable or trustworthy enough to honour it.

We MUST keep our threats in place for at least 30 days after Trump's last threat, or else this off-and-on bullshit will just continue indefinitely. And we should extend that delay every time Trump plays his games.

Fuck ticks, but nature has a sense of humour with this meat allergy. LOL

Doug will change his mind in 3...2...1...

Donald was featured on episode 98 of The War On Cars podcast, and it's worth a listen.

And the concept of "free parking" during holidays is awful, and I love the idea of still charging for parking on holidays, but using the revenue to help the homeless or other disadvantaged local groups in the community.

I believe it’s only done to blame others, if there’ll be a democratic government in the next decade they’ll point and jeer “Look at how many pandemic, medical and environmental deaths there are now, while under maga we had none!”

It's more insidious than that. Imagine the next democratic government inheriting this mess. They re-open science, education, and oversight departments, who discover shock that things are really bad. MAGA will say, "See, things are bad under YOUR leadership! Can't blame us!".

Closing your eyes and ignoring a problem like it doesn't exist is something that children, and Republicans, seem to do an awful lot!

Can't have hurricanes if you aren't monitoring them!

Can't have COVID deaths if you stop counting!

Can't have Government corruption if you terminate any oversight!

Even English "nursery rhymes" are passively threatening and morbid when you think about it.

According to this legal site, mishandling of a corpse gets you a lot more than 5 weeks, with mention of funeral homes and hospitals:

The penalties for these crimes vary significantly by jurisdiction. Some states classify abuse of a corpse as a misdemeanor, which may result in fines and a jail sentence of up to one year. More serious acts can be charged as a felony, carrying stiffer penalties, including several years in prison and fines that can reach $10,000 or more.

It's the maximum possible sentence. The court can't do more.

So, if they tried this as 190 individual cases, he'd only get a 5 weeks each? The courts really needed to do more.

Also, this is just the sentence for COVID aid fraud. Sentencing for the corpse abuse charges is scheduled for August.

I reread the article multiple times, and 20 years is the maximum for everything, including defrauding the government, to be confirmed in August.

Just over 1 month prison for each family defrauded, including the body of their loved one discarded like trash.

If he did this to just one family, would he have only gotten a month?

The court has disrespected these families worse than he did.

Except when they're kissing his ass, then he's like, "you guys are the best ever".

The display during his press conference yesterday was absolutely nauseating.

The brown nosing could be smelled through the screen.

This guy brings cards to a chess match. 🤭

There's fake black licorice, and there's the real stuff. Two very different experiences!

"The best" by what metric?

They aren't better in any metric when compared to developed countries: not happiness, not prosperity, not education, not healthcare, not rights and freedoms, not democracy, not science, not crime rate... 🥱

I'll turn to spray paint and vandalism if we ever reach that kind of ad hellscape.

And their stock is still too damn high!
