We really taught him a lesson about quid pro quo, didn't we? As in, he won't ever get in trouble using influence to get anything he wants.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Biden hiring Merrick Garland as AG is probably the thing that ended up putting the final nail in the coffin that was American Democracy. There were literally 100s of crimes to choose from and he just slow walked prosecution on any of them. Still not sure if that's because of cowardice or just loyalty to the Republican party on his part.
All of the above
cowardice or just loyalty to the Republican party
They're the same picture.
Susan Collins sure schooled him
Release the Trump/Epstein files
The upvotes are diminishing. Two more weeks and people will have moved on. It's fascinating to see how the mind works.
This makes a very good boycott list.
Edit: So where's the list, then?
They aren't great at releasing them
533 businesses and trade organizations didn't kill themselves.
They're doing their best, man.
True, but at some point they'll leak it by sharing the file with the wrong email address

Mr Trump has signed an executive order requiring banks not to discriminate against clients on political ground
.. while also releasing a list of his support for companies ranked on political grounds ..
I'm beginning to suspect this Trump fella might not be on the up and up 🤔
I mean surely the whole article is just a typo and the writer is confused? They can't possibly mean Donald Trump, the failed businessman, failed casino owner, failed university operator, convicted felon and best friend of convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein is corrupt?!
It won't happen within my lifetime, but I wish I could be alive when all these assholes face the barrel end of a gun in some sort of revolution.
Sadly I give it probably another 50 years to happen, at best, and I'll be long gone.
As will be most of humanity... The future ain't looking great
Yeah, I don't have kids myself and my wife and I have no plans or desire to...
...but we have friends who do and I'm legitimately worried for their future. Or lack thereof. Some think things will "just work out" - but I think that's wishful thinking and dumb.
I'd love to believe otherwise, but I don't think anything short of strategic, aggressive pushback, likely violent at times, will change things.
That whole "it'll work out" is such an incredibly privileged mindset. I can't imagine anyone with that belief has ever really struggled in any way.
1000%. I feel like everyone my parents age has that mindset though and it immediately makes me think, "yeah so you're an ignorant idiot".
I'm almost certainly older than your parents and my view is that nothing works out unless we make it work out. The system doesn't run itself and it's not self-correcting, either. And the fact that it allowed Trump to seize power is a sign that it's deeply defective.
If we don't start geo engineering real soon... It's all over indeed.
Stop the pollution first. Geoengineering is at best speculative, and at worst, may be a cure that's worse than the problem.
Be the change you wish to happen.
On my part, I am practicing with my gun. Way I figure, the antifa states will need soldiers, and someone has to be meat for that grinder. I might as well be among them, so that skilled people are free to do what must be done, whatever that may be.
I might be able to see it in my lifetime but I’ll be old as shit.
It's called a retirement plan for a reason.
Of course this guy has an enemies list. That comes in the fascist starter pack.
Its obvious. Trump hires women based on looks and men based on butt sniffing loyalty. Period.
And then, all of a sudden, fairness was achieved because Trump sorted by Column B only.
Let me fix that for you:
The scorecard, which Axios said will aid decision-making ~~on corporate requests~~ by all Americans who wish to avoid the boot lickers
Boy, the US is in for a super rude awakening into the rest of the world when they come back after this guy is done.
As an American, at this rate that’s an if.
do you understand how little the normal american cares about the rest of the worlds opinion is? most americans are just working to survive right now, having near zero time or patience to consider the thoughts of anyone else because literally no one is thinking of them right now
Anyone get the list? I don't want to pay for a list of pay-to-wins
Sadly I don't but would also like to see it if it is available.
List?
How is it that companies won't sue the government after finding out about this list.
And who will enforce the justice against the government?
spreadsheet
Ah yes, listed in the most secure mode of data collection.
Must be the bribe list.
Is this hell?
Nah, just practice
Welcome to the Christian Technate of America!
It turns out the DEI favoritism were the fascists we elected along the way.
They have a Banga-list for companies?
