Also, Trump isn’t the President. So whatever he may, or may not do, is hypothetical… It’s also irrelevant to what Biden is actually doing…you know, because he’s the current president…
This was definitely NOT a huge component of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It also definitely did NOT play into the Democrat’s delusion that any left leaning voters they lost by shifting to the right would be replaced by the GOP moderates it would attract.
Oh, and Chuck Schummer also NEVER repeatedly made these claims in public, or during media appearances.
So yeah, this is a bold and definitely BRAND NEW strategy.
Federal agents raided a property management company operating in Arizona as part of an investigation into price-fixing rent, marking a distinct escalation in the renewed push to enforce consumer protection laws....
If recent history has shown us anything, it’s that this will just lock in the current rates. Of which the combined profits from, will be exponentially more then whatever legal costs and fines are ultimately paid.
Maybe a single pasty will get 36 months, with 24 suspended.
All of which will eventually be overturned on appeal to SCOTUS.
If this was to do with collusion against home owners, a significantly powerful voting block that is politically catered to, it’d be different.
But renters are viewed as livestock, the pay pigs for the elite, and only given enough illusions of justice or action to avoid bread riots.
I will provide the caveat that if this investigation dovetails into, or brings in, investigations into companies that also harm the interest of middle class homeowners, there might be some hope for it making a dent.
You’re referring to settlements where the accused pays a fine and maybe agrees to certain conditions, but is allowed to do so without admitting to any wrongdoing.
That part comes after the investigation concludes…which is exactly what I’m talking about.
…SCOTUS has been expanding corporate power since long before the current majority. This is a nearly 40 year long project and it transcends any nominal association of a justice as being liberal or conservative.
There’s no doubt that it has been accelerated as of late, but don’t kid yourself about who they serve
Also, that CFPB case would have wrecked the status quo of power and how government funding works. Not a subtle shift, or a quick jolt, but a fucking wrecking ball by making it so that programs that makeup nearly 2/3rds of the federal budget would have to be continually reauthorized e.g. Medicare, Social Security, etc.
When Britain’s prime minister, Rishi Sunak, stood in the pouring rain last week to announce a general election, there could hardly have been a less auspicious beginning to the Conservative Party’s campaign. In the space of a few days, it has gone downhill from there....
That’s all well and good. They clearly deserve much much worse.
Unfortunately, what comes next is New Labour pissing on everyone’s head, while their media toadies write endless columns about how their prayers for rain have finally been answered…and everyone better be grateful for it.
“People in our caucus… to me, they’re not really taking this as serious as we should,” Tuberville said. “American people need to wake up. This is a war; this is a war on our Constitutional rights, our constitutional republic. This is not as much about Donald Trump as it is about the people in this country.”...
Exactly, and I bet you feel fucking stupid as shit now. Don’t you?
Well, I’m not getting left behind this time. No fucking way.
I’m not waiting for the SCOTUS ruling to get in on this action. I’ve already got the ball rolling on all types of fraudulent and criminal financial dealings.
I always setup my own new installs offline, with no Internet connected and assumed that the was the workaround this was referring to. Guess that’s my fault for not reading the article. I wasn’t even aware of the fake email bypass.
But my reasons were primarily because I wanted to disable as much telemetry as possible and tweak other settings before putting it on a network.

Nursing homes and the entire home care industry have been thoroughly ransacked by private equity.
And what’s even more pernicious about this case of corporate raiding, is that the public actually believes the lie that these industries and businesses are not profitable.
They are highly profitable, but all the funds are siphoned off and legally embezzled the way private equity always does: exhorbanant consulting fees and switching the vendors and suppliers to their own companies, and jacking up the rates they charge themselves.
And that’s before you even get into the favorable legislation they purchase through donations, and the refusal to adequately staff the companies.
