Former Judge Resigns From the Supreme Court Bar
In a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, he detailed why he’s lost faith in the court.
"I can no longer say that with any confidence. You are doing far more— & far worse– than “calling balls & strikes.” You are allowing the Court to become an “errand boy” for an administration that has little respect for the rule of law."
- James Dannenberg- hahaha for a judge you think he cite his case than rely on opinion im sure there is an objection for that.********
- just because you make judge doesnt make you a good judge.********

"Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) and Rep. Tim Ryan (OH-13) proposed legislation to establish an emergency Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill would provide a check between $1,000 and $6,000 to every American who earned less than $65,000 last year. More than three-quarters of American workers would qualify for this tax relief. Americans most likely to be impacted by the public health crisis – including hourly workers, independent contractors, and gig workers – would get a much-needed emergency boost during this economic downturn."
- they'd rather starve to death than accept a government handout and be labeled a Commie!!!!!!!_niko
- but government handouts to billion dollar companies they're ok with._niko

- Well if I don't have to pay the bill I'll take it! But begs the question from where when running huge budget deficits as is...********
- Like Italy which has already had tough times. Setting up for a global debt reset? But only would work if all agreed and that is highly unlikely********
- ha long term might be good for lots of useful idiots to believe gov got their back and not see anything at all or for years out********
- show true socialism and gov lack of ability where markets exist because they're better.********
- Question where the money comes from when it benefits actual people, but ballooning the debt for handouts to the .1% and the largest corp's, endlessly adding toformed
- 'defense' spending, not to mention the handouts to farmers, etc., are all ok, right? The selfishness and disregard for the country, as people, is insane.formed
- well said formed. They dont question billions of tax breaks as handouts to corps but question this. Thank God they are keeping the budget in balance.Beeswax
- they believe what they're told to believe. consumer scuM!inteliboy
- Wow limited memory. When have I supported such measures? Clearly miss the humor. formed especially********
- Formed arguments equates to my joke. If it benefits me look the other fuckin way. What is the difference of a bailout that benefits one group vs another?********
- One good answer I don't expect to get is wether supporting a fucked up Corp structure is better than letting 40 percent companies fail and losing all jobs disap********
- Ear based on m2 growth and chasing yield in an environment ppl realized has little risk based on politics and necessity********
- Why Boeing may get a bailout because at the end of the day. One Corp but 10,000s out of jobs. Jobs are votes and economy********

- Robie over here posting about the primaries as if they still matter. Biden’s a lock and Trump is probably, likely, almost certainly toast.FNP14
- Mr. T has bricked the COVID response and the stock market is set to erase every gain of his presidency. TOOOOAST.FNP14
- We can hope. Sadly, his lackeys, like robo, don't care one bit about reality. They'll likely blame the dems for Trumps handouts, too.formed

With USA bars and restaurants closing, how do servers and staff make ends meat? Maybe 800k in NYC alone out of work. Same for small commercial businesses shutting doors. There's going to be shit load of people with no pay checks for the next two to who knows how many months. Shall the government step in with a stipend? This is seriously going to force the government assistance hand.
- Yes, the implications for social cohesion are grave if they don’t provide effective assistance. Tense times.dorfsman
- Delivery and takeout. They aren’t actually all closed.monospaced

I'm surprised no one is talking about this here, yesterday Trump and that greasy looking evil bond villain looking dude Manuchin r whatever said they want to implement an emergency UBI (Universal Basic Income) cutting us all (US citizens) a $1000/mo check (+$500/mo for each kid) during this Corona virus epidemic, cutting us all checks starting in 2 weeks. love him or hate him that's pretty BIG.
then you got this establishment Democrat fighting him on it.
if Trump does end up doing this brace yourself for 4 more years because that establishment health insurance sellout piece of shit Biden doesn't stand a chance.
Bernie was pushing for $2k/mo

^^^^Trump’s response so far (as we’ve already seen it):
January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA... Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away... They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States... has, as of now, only 129 cases... and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down... a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful.... the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it... Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
March 13: [Declared state of emergency]
March 17: “This is a pandemic,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
