Trump Signs Executive Order That Will Effectively Ban Use Of TikTok In the U.S.

Y'know, you two fuckers are not just wrong, you're fuckin' boring. That's even worse.

Thighland

More good news:

U.S. Added 1.8 Million Jobs in July......unemployment drops to 10.2 percent!!!

Trump extends unemployment benefits, defers payroll tax

“Bypassing Congress, President Donald Trump on Saturday signed executive orders deferring payroll taxes for some Americans and extending unemployment benefits after negotiations on a new coronavirus rescue package collapsed.”

“Trump said the payroll tax cut would apply to those earning less than $100,000 a year. He said that if he is reelected in November, he would look at the possibility of making the payroll tax permanent.

Extra aid for the unemployed will total $400 a week, a cut from the $600 that just expired.

Trump also signed executive orders holding off student loan payments and extending the freeze on evictions.“

*gestures futilely at everything going on*

Sure the boomers are A-OK with this? He literally doesn't give a shit about any of you.

The problem is the same as always (only exponentially amplified by Trump's fans' impermeability to serious media outlets): Democrats need to really explain why the Dotard is screwing people up the ass, and as it turns out a good explanation doesn't fit on the front of a fucking hat the way a meaningless bullshit slogan does.

Depending on your current plight, there are two ways to view this:

Either Nancy Pelosi is still holding to 'vote by mail' provisions being part of next U.S. coronavirus bill and President Trump knows the Republicans won’t vote for that, so he helps the unemployed NOW via executive order


—OR—


President Trump is just pandering for votes by deferring the payroll taxes with promises of making it permanent —IF— reelected.

ONLY Congress can levy or abolish taxes......

Perhaps the executive order is enough to provoke the Madame speaker into getting a bill passed???

Perhaps you're a turd?


—YEAH—


You're a turd!

Payroll “holiday” cuts (which have to be reimbursed later anyway) do fuck all for the unemployed. This idiot is flailing and you’d better believe he’s pandering.

The trash inquired about getting added to Mount Rushmore, for which he lacks ANY qualifications for, so...yeah. Go jump off a high pier with cement shoes.

It effectively negates Congress’s responsibility for appropriation of funds......just think what a Democrat would do with the same power.

Another way to say it......Trump’s tax/covid executive orders are exactly as unlawful as Obama’s DACA executive order, but the free minded freethinkers here at SYG never complained about that back then!

Whataboutism at its best there.

Oh you mean the working class who are going to need Social Security and Medicare more than anybody else as they age and are seeing the steps towards those programs being defunded before their very eyes, presented as some kind of boon to them ? Americans and fine print just aren’t compatible.

Speaking of programs being defunded, the crime rates in cities that are actively defunding the police are skyrocketing......early AM Chicago is the latest example:


Chicago shops downtown

Street view looting

Aftermath in the daylight

Trump tweet (August 10, 2020)

“So now Schumer and Pelosi want to meet to make a deal. Amazing how it all works, isn’t it. Where have they been for the last 4 weeks when they were “hardliners”, and only wanted BAILOUT MONEY for Democrat run states and cities that are failing badly? They know my phone number!”

"Signing executive orders is not the way our country is supposed to be run"

"Executive orders are an outrage"

Three points to anyone who can guess who said the two statements above.

Why are you guys supporting someone so blatantly unqualified for public office? Is it because after years of dysfunction (mostly perpetrated by the Republicans), you've lost confidence in actual qualified politicians? How exactly have politicians "failed" anyway? By actually charging taxes instead of nickel and dime-ing the country's infrastructure and social programs into uselessness (oh, wait)? By requiring rules preventing impulse purchases of deadly weapons? By letting women and minorities have a say in how the country is run?


You wouldn't last ten seconds in a country run by genuine tyrants.

Bytor, one of your sources for that spent literal hours defending the pronounciation "Thighland".

That shit was just great. "Australians, Thais, and British people pronounce 'Thighland"

Sure we all collectively looked at each other and just said "we absolutely don't".

Obama Got Caught = TREASON!!!

: )

the poor meme-brained keeps chronicling his mental decay, huh?

For those of you who do not C-SPAN, on Tuesday, August 11, 2020, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit reheard oral arguments to determine whether a federal district court judge must dismiss the perjury case against Michael Flynn as recommended by the Justice Department.

I’ve linked the entire dialog (w/ audio), but I want to bring your attention to 00:18:00

“I THINK THERE IS VERY LIMITED TO -- LIMITED DISCRETION TO TURN OR DENY THAT MOTION. THERE IS IN THE CASE LAW EXAMPLES LIKE THE ONE, JUDGE MILLETT OR ANOTHER JUDGE USED ABOUT BRIBERY OF THE PROSECUTOR. IN FOKKER ITSELF THE COURT RECOGNIZES THERE IS AN ASSUMPTION OF REGULARITY -- PRESUMPTION OF IRREGULARITY. JUDGE TATEL: LET'S SAY YOU'RE RIGHT THERE IS SOME DISCRETION TO DENY THE MOTION, THEN WHAT HAPPENS?“

00:18:36
“IN THIS CASE IT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHEN A PROSECUTION IS INITIATED IF IT WERE DENIED, THERE IS NO ROLE FOR THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH ANY FURTHER BECAUSE SENTENCING IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS LEFT. NOW THE GOVERNMENT AND MR. FLYNN COULD TAKE THE POSITION THEY ARE GOING TO MANDAMUS AFTER THAT, THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE THEY THINK WOULD BE THEIR NEXT STEP. IF THAT DID NOT HAPPEN THE DEFENDANT WOULD GO ON TO SENTENCING AND THEN THERE WOULD BE AN APPEAL BY EITHER ONE OR BOTH OF THE PARTIES. JUDGE ROGERS: -- JUDGE TATEL: HOW WOULD THAT APPEAL COME OUT?

Beth Wilkerson (a defense attorney) saying, “There would be no role for the prosecutor with regards to a sentencing of the individual defendant who is no longer being prosecuted by the government“ is unbelievable:

A) U.S. code: 28 U.S. Code § 455 “you are disqualified if you are a party to the proceeding”

B) this is a prosecution without a prosecutor! You have no solicitor, you have no district attorney, you have no US attorney......the attorney general of the United States decided to dismiss this case!!


Judge Sullivan can’t be judge and prosecutor!!!

He's a little fucking rat. Love to know how republicans can be A-OK with this. Or is it now "well if we want to win the election it doesn't matter what gets done to get it".

Are you surprised? I'm not speaking out of jadedness; just chads, voter suppression, and Russian bots.

ETA: Aaaand gerrymandering, of course.

Because you don’t go and change how things are done less than 100 days from an election! Mail in voting is the fast track to voter fraud and I don’t want my tax dollars funding voter fraud......why else hasn’t congress voted on, passed and funded this mass mail in possibility in the past?

American’s voted in person during the World Wars and previous pandemics in the past. People have no problem making their way to the streets to protest and they sure know how to line up at the liquor stores in weed dispensaries!

If you want to vote, grab your mask and stand in line!!!

Speaking of Republicans

Speaking of rats:



Everyone have a great weekend!

Any evidence to go with that waffle? No, you don't. You're just parroting Trump's lines cos he's shitting himself about it.

Furthermore, I'm actually baffled by this "Americans voted in person during the world wars!" argument. Who are you referring to here? The civilians in America who had no risk going out to vote? The soldiers in far flung counties who were voting by, you guessed it, mail? Please explain to me this argument so it's so nonsensical.

"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
Really need to start heeding these words don't I.

Oh come ON, again?

I think they've defunded that hay bail with all the straws they're pulling.

Just did this in support of the U.S. Postal Service. Its, easy, quick, and costs you nothing, so why not?

Also, this tweet: "After Elizabeth Warren's request the Postal Service independent watchdog is investigatingTrump magadonor Louis DeJoy policy changes and potential ethics conflicts."

Elizabeth Warren, one of the few out there with a spine to do something effective, and she gets shit on by people for doing so.

I usually try to avoid the political discussion here over the weekends, usually just posting about music and such. However, when you wake up Friday afternoon to Obamagate news......one must share:

NPR tweet thread

Just in: FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith plans to plead guilty to charges related to information-gathering involving the Trump campaign and Russia four years ago, according to his lawyer. It's the first criminal charges associated with how the Russian investigation was conducted.

Clinesmith had been identified in an earlier report by the Justice Department inspector general. He allegedly doctored an email to help get court approval for continued surveillance of onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Subsequent investigations validated the core findings of the Russia investigation: That Russia attacked the election in 2016. But they also revealed problems with some actions by the FBI and the Justice Department. More on the charge against Clinesmith:

Ex-FBI Lawyer To Plead Guilty In Case Linked To Alleged Abuse Of Surveillance Power

“Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith has agreed to plead guilty to a single false statement charge, marking the first criminal action in an investigation centered on how intelligence agencies gathered information involving the Trump campaign and Russia four years ago in the waning months of the Obama administration.”

“In the waning months of the Obama administration”

It was June 7, 2018 when I first mentioned Executive Order 12333 wondering why President Obama wanted to change how the nation’s intelligence agencies could spy on Americans.

Seriously......any of you free minded freethinkers care to speculate as to why President Obama would make such a change 72 hours shy of his Presidency ending?

Couldn't find a meme with a tree and a rope, huh.

You're fucking disgusting. I sincerely hope you get dick cancer.
