Was kind of hoping they’d get everyone at once, but I’ll take it!

mo_ztt , to Work Reform in How the 'lazy girl job' took over work
@mo_ztt@lemmy.world avatar

So… I’ve dealt with people who take this girl’s approach to their work, when their work getting done well was necessary for something I needed, and I definitely didn’t like it. I also think this girl in the article is extremely at risk of having her job replaced by an AI and winding up behind the 8 ball when that happens and the market gets that much more challenging.

That said, for as bad as it is, I think this is actually closer to the answer than is everyone working for Amazon and peeing in bottles and $26k per year and no health insurance.

player1 , to Politics in How big are Donald Trump's legal problems?

Honestly he was caught red handed. I really think he’s screwed with the classified docs case. His own AG, Bill Barr as well as his former attorney, Ty Cobb, said as much. Also he is having a really hard time finding competent counsel to represent him. Part of that is since his attorney must have security clearance but it’s also likely because any half decent attorney sees how screwed he is on this case.

If I can let my cynical self speak for a moment: From all I've gathered, not too much if he can prolong the trials until he is possibly reelected (insane to even type that out). Motherfucker will just self-pardon himself like a good little fascist. He also has a favourable judge in the Miami court from what I've heard. A little pro-trump judge to preside over Trumps trial, the biggest presidential crime drama in the US since.. Watergate? Dunno.

Honestly its mad he's allowed to run his campaign with several trials for high crimes on the table.

The case was randomly assigned to Judge Cannon, who was already censured by the higher courts for her obvious bias toward Trump. This case will not remain in her docket.

This is absolutely a problem, but on the flip side then Republicans would have tied Hillary up in the courts rather than risk her winning in 2016. I mean, they launched how many Congressional investigations against her while they controlled the House? It worked as a smear campaign, and if it carried legal consequences she would have been barred from running at all. Imagine that they do this to every potential Presidential candidate that Democrats have to offer. Even ones you like.

They're gonna have to switch to a CBDC first. That will give the federal government more control over money and how it's spent. Programmable money, if you will.

One down, one to go.

Illuminostro ,

His poison will live on long after he’s dead. He’s throwing fucktons of money at politicians, conservative friendly universities, conservative “News” organizations, Youtube right wing grifters, you name it.

style99 , to Politics in Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity, US court rules
@style99@kbin.social avatar

But Neal Katyal, a prominent lawyer who has argued cases before the top court, predicted on X (formerly Twitter) that it will not take up the case.

"Trump's argument is so weak and the Court of Appeals decision so thorough and well done, I can see SCOTUS voting not to hear it," he wrote.

Legal analysts said the methodical nature of the appeals ruling, laid out over 57 pages that are dense with court citations and historical references, sent a clear message.

"What the Court of Appeals said, very politely and very dryly, is 'You're not even close, Trump'. None of these arguments pass the laugh test," Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor, told BBC News.

I can already smell Trump squirming.

But aren't they a sanctuary city? Doesn't this go against that?
