"Trump & his allies made clear that if he wins reelection, he plans to gut the existing government & “install a pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists”...

It’s been under a week since he announced in an interview... that he’d cheerfully “weaponize” the power of the Justice Department to indict his rivals for no other reason than that they were “beating me very badly.”

12% 401(k) Contribution - What to do? [USA]

Hi everyone, I recently landed a new job where the base 401(k) contribution for all FTEs is 12% of your salary. This is regardless of your contribution, with no additional match. I realize that this is unusual for most people and it is for me as well. In my last job, I got up to a 6% match so I maxed that out and didn't think on...

You all see the video from ??

It started bc a Black security guard told some white boaters they couldn’t leave their boat docked where it was. The white boys beat up the Black guard, and then all hell broke lose w/ Black bystanders coming to the guard’s aid.

Then it got worse.

With indictments, this looks like a full on class + race war is simmering, imo. Orange rapist stoking hate thru his SM today.

And that’s what the yt gqp want.

The U.S. National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (aka Big Hot Dog) puts out a figure each year claiming to be the number of hot dogs an American eats annually and it's big. 70 hot dogs a year — not including bratwursts, sausages, veggie dogs, or pigs-in-blankets! Defector's Kelsey McKinney wrote this exhaustive investigation on where the heck this number comes from. To augment her research, fediverse-style, we want to know roughly how many hot dogs you personally consume a year. Story may be paywalled.

POINTS TO PONDER...

In today's closed door, secret Republican vote, Jim Jordan received only 86 out of 219 votes to be Speaker of the House.

He is a miserable failure and unliked by the larger republican caucus.

Dr. Peter Hotez, professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine has been attacked all weekend by Musk and Rogan on the bird site. Dr Hotez is a vaccine scientist and a threat to disinformation con artists like the two twits mentioned above. He will have a new book out soon and it is important to spread his book title message far and wide.

Arrested During Debate?

Multiple insider sources have told me they expect Trump to turn himself in for arrest at the Fulton County jail either immediately before or DURING the first Republican presidential debate this Wednesday in Wisconsin.

Trump would sell his soul for news coverage and it looks like he might have done just that!

is nearly always counterproductive in

  1. If u are angry, your points will be discounted
  2. Outside expressions of anger vs insider threats. Who wins?
  3. Not usually strategic to go around displaying anger
  4. Anger makes people sloppy, they make mistakes
  5. Anger means people lose critical feedback. Feedback that could have benefited them

Thoughts?
