Can’t wait till we start seeing these people charged and prosecuted.
This should have been DAY ONE where apparently everyone in the world except the judges recognized this was going to happen. Remember that piss-poor “gag order” that prevented trump from talking about members of the court AFTER he’d already said a bunch of incendiary things and even then he continued to do so; so they fined him like twenty cents? The one that got suspended by a circuit judge who was 100 years old and eventually was persuaded that yeah maybe it should stay?
Fuck. I don’t know if these guys are just right-wing idiots themselves who thought maybe trump was possibly somewhat normal but for the rest of us this is just another in a mountain of “no shit sherlock” trump things.

More like going to Starbucks because it’s there and hoping they’re not doing this.
I’m presuming the suit is more of a public relations attack to point out these abuses than it is to correct Starbucks for whatever oversight they screwed up. Which is a good idea - I mean, we just read it now.
It’s hard to imagine, but in several places around the continent there aren’t local shops. In even more there aren’t local shops that are near where people are going. There should be - if we could Patreon up some kinda national chain of local shop coffees that’d be great but that’s essentially what Starbucks did in the 90s the olde fashioned way.
Not defending Starbucks at all in any way here, but as an unrelated aside it’s hard to remember that in most places in America there was a time before Starbucks when coffee was just pretty bad tasting everywhere. You could doctor it up with sugar or whatever if you had to, but there weren’t espresso drinks. it was urn-percolated or pour-over coffee and that was it. Like tea - lots of water. There was “good” coffee from places and then the rest. The alternate reality we live in now where espresso drinks are the norm is kind of great in one sense. Anyway - not related to Starbucks doing awful corporate things for which they should be roundly rejected.

Who? Is doing this? What? Are they actually, y’know doing as such? Sending - letters? Like, paper letters or are they emails? Or - posting somewhere? How many of them? This two page article doesn’t actually SAY anything about what it says it’s about! There’s no actual reporting. Which . . .
There’s a lot of hot takes from various people, and that’s the entirety of the article. Like, the only actual facts they’re claiming to report on are reaction comments.
That’s super problematic, and not a little suspicious. C’mon politico. Just make shit up, i guess?
The anonymous social media MAGA account @catturd2, which has more than 2 million followers, criticized funding for Ukraine included in the deal.
“Blah Blah Blah Blah—you just gave 62 Billion to Ukraine. You don’t give AF about our border,” they wrote.
These people are the most miserable excuses for humans imaginable. Seriously, why are they so batshit insane? Is it just right-wing media, or are we looking at some kind of nanoplastic syndrome that affects the red states disproportionately?
