He’s consistently in favor of his political opponents being threatened with violence, it’s one of the few things he’s been consistent about in his life

They also straight up lied a lot. The best example of their shit we got was when they sent an undercover employee in to the Washington Post with a fake story about how a Republican candidate impregnated her as a teenager and then kept badgering the reporters to speculate on what that story could do to his campaign.
Gosh, I can’t believe Forbes whiffed on a social justice issue, they’ve been so deeply committed to those principles throughout their publication history /s
The auditing firm for Trump Media and the auditor’s owner were charged Friday with “massive fraud” by the Securities and Exchange Commission for work that affected more than 1,500 SEC filings, the federal regulator announced.
The auditor, BF Borgers CPA and its owner Benjamin Borgers have agreed to be permanently suspended from practicing as accountants before the SEC, and also agreed to pay a combined $14 million in civil penalties, without* admitting or denying the allegations, the SEC said.
So we didn’t find out that the SEC thought this auditor committed criminal conduct until the SEC had already negotiated this settlement where they don’t have to admit any wrongdoing? Bang up job enforcing the laws there guys, that will definitely deter this kind of conduct from other bad actors in the accounting industry /s

e; It really should go without saying, but since the conversations on this website have effectively reduced my whole personality to “why aren’t more people talking about how this Democratic administration’s handling of the federal government is falling short of what that party says they stand for,” I feel like I should say I doubt we’d see even this pittance of enforcement out of a Republican government, so, yeah, I sincerely hope these pathetic losers get another four years to keep disappointing me because the alternative is still a hell of a lot worse
lawmakers are pushing for tougher penalties for low-level and nonviolent crimes
Oh joy, when we did this in the 90s it ended with the Supreme Court saying there’s no issue with giving a life sentence to a father of three for stealing VHSs of children’s movies from a K-Mart. I imagine some details will change this time around, but not the important one.
what’s to stop government officials from simply ignoring the Supreme Court
A federal government being willing to enforce the law Reconstruction style and send in federal troops to effect the arrest of these traitors and the unconditional surrender of their government. Anything less is just giving the anti-democratic forces time to get stronger and chip away at more of our society.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
