Not at all surprising, but I'd be so embarrassed if I supported an administration that caused my own party's most senior judges to say things like this.


Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee who sits in Seattle, granted the request by Washington Attorney General Nick Brown and three other Democratic-led states for the emergency order halting implementation of the policy for the next 14 days while there are more briefings in the legal challenge.

“I have been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case whether the question presented was as clear,” Coughenour said.

I don't believe these are real, but the last line on the "flyer" is pretty funny.

These things always used to get the old zzl in a tizzy. Some anonymous redneck would put out some flyers or 10 guys in hoods would demonstrate in some small town with 500 counter protesters and its like we were one step away from The 1920s.

It's some hillbilly wanting to work up the vast, vast majority of Americans who would never dream of joining the Klan and I bet it works.

You’re just a little off here. They’re not trying to “work up” the vast, vast majority. They’re trying to get you to dismiss their actions, defend their right to behave like this, and normalize their “opinions.”

More than 10,000 refugees were currently in the pipeline to travel to the United States, according to government data. They include Afghans who faced danger because of their association with the United States before the military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Among other refugees who had been approved for travel were people from Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.

The sudden halt to the flights was an agonizing blow to refugees who had been following a complicated and lengthy process to enter the country legally, resettlement group workers said. …”

The lie that MAGAs were really just concerned with illegal immigration has been exposed.

What do you mean the 1920s? They were active in the 60s as well. Who do you think did the Birmingham Church bombing.

They were active in NC as well. In 65, I saw a cross burning in Kinston that had 1000s of people there and later that year we had a private one at our house after a sermon my stepfather preached.

Be stupid and make light of this.

Would you consider a “fake” al-Qaeda recruitment flyer to be funny, too?

Just happened to watch the first Gladiator last night. Noticed this gesture being made as the gladiators entered in the coliseum for the Carthage battle.

Cool. If only this was 180 AD, Elon would have the perfect reason to flash that salute.

Unfortunately, we're living in 2025 Anno Domini, where there isn't a single person on the planet who doesn't know what that salute represents.
 

Trump warns global business leaders of more tariffs as he forges ahead with agenda​


“… President Donald Trump slammed his predecessor’s policiesand said his presidency began a “revolution of common sense” in remarks to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, where he warned business leaders to make their products in the US or face tariffs. He also said he wants OPEC and Saudi Arabiato cut the cost of oil to help end the war in Ukraine.



Trump pitches world businesses to make products in the US to receive "lowest taxes of any nation on Earth​


“My message to every business in the world is very simple. Come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth. We’re bringing them down very substantially, even from the original Trump tax cuts. But if you don’t make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply you will have to pay a tariff, differing amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our treasury to strengthen our economy and pay down debt,” Trump said during his remarks at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

I'm just not seeing it. I see an irrelevant organization that likely has less than 100 members in NC and likely similar percentages in KY riling up a bunch of people with a flyer. And people fall for it every time. Ignore them and they go back to their trailers. Or don't. Make fun of them and they go back to their trailers humiliated

Elon Musk says he's 'Jewish by association' after Auschwitz visit, sees 'almost no antisemitism'
“I’m aspirationally Jewish,” Musk said. “So I was like, ‘What are people talking about with this antisemitism?’ Because I never hear it at dinner conversations."

Elon Musk said he is "Jewish by association" during a conversation with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro after a visit to the former Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland.

Musk, the Tesla CEO and owner of social media platform X, made the comments during a conference on antisemitism organized by the European Jewish Association. The association had arranged for Musk to make a private visit to Auschwitz, where an estimated 1.1 million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.

"I must admit to being somewhat frankly naive about this. In the circles that I move, I see almost no antisemitism. ... Two-thirds of my friends are Jewish," the billionaire tech mogul said in a video posted on YouTube by Bloomberg Technology. "I have twice as many Jewish friends as non-Jewish friends. I’m like Jewish by association."

The association organized the visit to address a worldwide surge of antisemitism after the start of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
