Apparently this AG doesn’t understand how this works. Evidence is gathered, presented to a Grand Jury who decides if there is “anything there” and if there is indictments are issued and trail with a jury of peers happens to determine if the subject is innocent or guilty. This is what happened for the convicted felon who was found guilty by a jury of his peers. So his analogy with Lincoln make him look even more ridiculous. Aaron Rupar.. Missouri AG Andrew Bailey on his lawsuit over Trump's criminal conviction in [checks notes] New York: "Look, no one would've tolerated it if 1860 a rogue DA in South Carolina had prosecuted Lincoln for speaking out on abolition issues and taken him off the campaign trail." x.com/anthonymkreis/status/1805254725706633696?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

New twist on TFG scene to cut taxes on tips.. Trump's pledge to exempt tips from federal income tax could destroy full-time jobs and force workers into tipped positions vulnerable to exploitative employers and customers with the right to withhold the bulk of their pay, Sharon Block, executive director of Harvard Law's Center for Labor and a Just Economy, argued in an MSNBC op-ed Monday. *** Trump’s proposal, unfortunately, is profoundly unserious," Block writes. "No one else should take this idea as anything other than what it appears to be — a cynical political ploy that would end up hurting many if not all of the people whom Trump is pretending to help." Block makes no bones about her dislike of current conditions for tipped workers, whose minimum wage has stagnated at what she describes as a "shamefully low level" of $2.13 an hour and whose plight has ties to the racist economic policies of Antebellum America, she writes. "The subminimum wage for tipped workers is a legacy of slavery," Block writes. "It became the norm after the end of Civil War, enabling restaurant owners and other service industry employers to avoid having to pay former slaves." But Trump's proposal — which has already spurred "love" from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — would do little to alleviate the lot of today's tipped worker for a simple reason: they don't make enough money to owe much in federal taxes, the professor writes. The money instead would likely land in the pockets with corporate owners whom Block argues would be incentivized to cut full-time positions and replace them with tipped positions. www.rawstory.com/trump-tips-plan/ |

Arizona sure is a mess... Richer is a Republican official and Busch is a Republican county party chair.... and she wishes him death... x.com/stephen_richer/status/1805279365816795279She also runs an "election integrity" group called "We The People AZ" that receives funding from Mike Lindell, Patrick Byrne, and Mike Flynn. Interesting choice of words. Not, "I'd kick his butt," or "I'd kill him." But "lynch." Why does that word roll off her tongue given its historical context? She says this after talking about good Christian values. And while some in the room laugh, nobody shouts out in protest. Nobody says, "that's too far." This isn't healthy. And it's not responsible. And we shouldn't want it as part of the Republican Party. |

I believe all the states on the west coast pay all their employees federal minimum wage. Why don't all the states? And before people start crying about increasing prices, Washington, Oregon and California all have minimum wage of 15.00-16.00. Much higher than a lot of states. |

Remember Rep Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) and her "shut up"? Right at the begining.. *** She's up to big mischief.. down right horror show for our Firefighters' safety.. Rep Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) wants to eliminate work requirements that protect firefighters and emergency medical responders, Bloomberg Law wrote Monday. Foxx is fighting regulations from Labor Secretary Julie Su that require training standards and rules aimed at safeguarding the first responders. *** In a letter complaining about the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Foxx claims that regulations make it difficult for rural communities where there is nothing other than a volunteer firefighting force. *** Less than 20 years ago, Foxx was bragging about bringing funds back to her district to help with training for firefighters. “These funds will be used to greatly improve our firefighters’ safety," Kernersville Fire Chief Jimmy Barrow said at the time. In 2022, Foxx fought the Federal Firefighters Fairness Act, which provided funding for those who were diagnosed with certain types of heart disease, lung disease, or cancer. Foxx claimed that the law made an assumption that the firefighters contracted the disease at work and she demanded tighter restrictions on care.www.rawstory.com/virginia-foxx-firefighters-paramedics/www.rawstory.com/virginia-foxx-firefighters-paramedics/ |

On some levels this is pretty funny. Good! The Hill. link” CREW files bribery complaint against Trump over oil industry donations”BY ZACK BUDRYK - 06/24/24 3:16 PM ET From the article… ,The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed a criminal bribery complaint urging the Justice Department to investigate former President Trump’s solicitation of campaign donations from fossil fuel executives. The former president met with oil industry executives in April and asked for $1 billion in campaign contributions, The Hill reported last month. The Washington Post, which first reported the request, also reported that the former president described the donations as a “deal” and said that in a second term, Trump would unwind Biden administration regulations on industry. A person with knowledge of the meeting who confirmed the request to The Hill denied it involved a quid pro quo agreement. The chairs of the Senate Budget and Finance committees have also announced a joint investigation into the meeting, with Budget Chair Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) calling it the “definition of corruption.” The former president reportedly promised industry executives he would end a Biden administration pause on new natural gas export approvals and asked attendees to “be generous” at a fundraising event in late May, although he reportedly did not request a dollar amount, according to The Washington Post. “We cannot have government officials making important policy as a result of corrupt exchanges that benefit them, rather than what is in the interest of the American people. That’s why the law is clear that a request for a benefit, including campaign contributions, in exchange for an official act is a bribe,” CREW President Noah Bookbinder said in a statement. “Donald Trump’s actions here follow a pattern of Trump opening himself up to corrupt influence, courting conflicts of interest, and using official positions to enrich himself–and in this case may run afoul of the criminal law.” The letter is addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Corey Amundson, chief of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section. CREW previously filed a complaint against then-President Trump alleging that he violated constitutional prohibitions against federal officials accepting foreign governments’ gifts or payments. The Supreme Court ordered the case dismissed in the lower court in January 2021 after Trump left office. “In a statement to The Hill, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the Post report “false,” adding, “Joe Biden is controlled by environmental extremists who are trying to implement the most radical energy agenda in history and force Americans to purchase electric vehicles they can’t afford. President Trump is supported by people who share his vision of American energy dominance to protect our national security and bring down the cost of living for all Americans.” |

About the hiring of TFG loyalists... They already have present federal employees reporting others who they think will not be loyal to TFG... Legal experts have raised red flags repeatedly about Project 2025, a plan backed by the extreme-right Heritage Foundation to help Donald Trump — or any other future Republican president — purge the federal government of rank-and-file employees who will follow the law over the orders of the president and institute Christian nationalist principles, among other things. Now, according to the Associated Press, Heritage is paying another right-wing organization to spy on federal workers and compile a list of those who would be disloyal to Trump if he retakes the presidency this year.Tom Jones and his American Accountability Foundation are digging into the backgrounds, social media posts and commentary of key high-ranking government employees, starting with the Department of Homeland Security. "They’re relying in part on tips from his network of conservative contacts, including workers. In a move that alarms some, they’re preparing to publish the findings online," reported Lisa Mascaro. "With a $100,000 grant from the influential Heritage Foundation, the goal is to post 100 names of government workers to a website this summer to show a potential new administration who might be standing in the way of a second-term Trump agenda — and ripe for scrutiny, reclassifications, reassignments or firings."Jones, a Kentucky-based operative who used to work as a GOP Senate aide on Capitol Hill, made the purpose of his project clear: “We need to understand who these people are and what they do.” www.rawstory.com/maga-trump-project-2025/ |

The not very bright Republicans keep asking are you better off today than 4 years ago. Well yes as we are not in a pandemic that killed thousands of Americans. But more importantly this idiot is not the president. Seriously was that even mean. From 4 years ago. Aaron Rupar… “Trump offers some appallingly ignorant commentary on coronavirus: "If we didn't wanna test, or if we didn't test, we wouldn't have cases. But we have cases because we test." This is false. Covid cases would exist even if we didn't test for them, they would just be misdiagnosed.” x.com/atrupar/status/1805634662636585076?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

Boebert PAC President David B. Wheeler claimed to have evidence that Boebert used methamphetamine and brandished a weapon — although it was not clear that the lawmaker was thought to be on drugs at the time the gun was displayed. The claims the group makes in the official letters to the government have not been confirmed. *** Spaulding was a former employee and friend of Boebert's, the letter noted. "Ms. Spaulding also relayed an episode where guns were drawn and she was threatened by Boebert at a bar in Grand Junction, Colorado, when Spaulding expressed her support for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Boebert said, 'I'll shoot you in your face if you tell me you voted for Hillary Clinton.'" *** Wheeler also claimed that Joshua Bartlett of Glenwood Springs "personally observed Boebert using illegal methamphetamine." The letter cited a Business Insider report that said Boebert was cut off from drinking alcohol at a New York event in 2023. "Boebert claims to carry a gun with her at all times making her gun licensure subject to revocation under Colorado and United States laws," Wheeler wrote. "Based upon this information, I am respectfully requesting an immediate investigation into these serious allegations, including Boebert's illegal ownership of a firearm while allegedly using illegal drugs, her excessive use of alcohol, her criminal recidivism, and her clear lack of respect for the law," the letter added. " Earlier this month, Hunter Biden was found guilty of lying about his use of crack cocaine on a federal firearms form. .... and more.... www.rawstory.com/lauren-boebert-use/Random comments; *. with a history of domestic violence, head of a family involved in petty crime, I’d suggest Congresswoman Boebert is the last woman who should have a gun. She’s seemingly one bad day from a gun rampage. Would you want her turning up ay your kids school with her gun? *. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If law enforcement is going to start enforcing laws they didn't do previously then why stop at Hunter Biden? *. Why bring up Hunter? *. Earlier this month, Hunter Biden was found guilty of lying about his use of crack cocaine on a federal firearms form. Random, unrelated sentences seem to get thrown in the article. |

Never forget—our enemies want to take away MY freedom because I will never let them take away YOUR freedom! They want to silence ME because I will never let them silence YOU. In the end, they’re not after me, they’re after you—and I’m just standing in their way!

It’s especially surprising since he is the one that is claiming to cut their taxes. He will make permanent his tax cuts to the wealthy. I don’t understand why Biden didn’t reverse them or would it have required congress to do so? Then again couldn’t they have done that during his first few years? |
