also I probably wouldn't have such severe mental health disabilities, or maybe even none, if it wasn't for racist govt policy that stole my grandparents as kids and sent them to "boarding school" to be traumatized, leaving them unable to probably parent my dad, who killed himself when I was 8. his two sisters also killed themselves, and his brother had to live his life in an institution

An alarming(?) number of these are either presently or imminently applicable:

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

Fort Apache might be the very best John Wayne/John Ford western btw. It's incredible.

I mean, a teenaged Shirley Temple is Henry Fonda's saucy daughter, c'mon!

Delaware judge Kathleen McCormick recancelled Elon's pay package after having it voted for by Tesla shareholders and then revoted and approved by 72% of Tesla's current shareholders.

Oh and Judge McCormick has ordered @Tesla to pay the attorneys who brought the case $345 million.

smh That's crazy.

The illegal deal was ridiculous and Tesla shareholders gained way more value than the attorney fees granted.

I do of course approve of robbing Telsa shareholder value but only for Glorious Common Good.

A Delaware judge has reaffirmed her decision to void a $56 billion compensation package for Tesla CEO Elon Musk. On Monday, Judge Kathaleen McCormick upheld her January ruling, which noted the astronomical 2018 pay package was the largest ever for a publicly traded corporation. Elon Musk is already the richest person in history, with a net worth estimated at more than a third of a trillion dollars.

Meanwhile, Musk has promised to “delete” the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when he takes the reins of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency under President Trump next year. His pledge comes after the CFPB finalized a rule to supervise tech companies which offer digital funds transfers and payment wallet apps. Those are features Musk is working to add to his social media site X.

omg!!! I'm so outraged that Elon couldn't get the 56 billion he wanted!!

we need to all for fight for billionaires rights!

poor guy only has 333 billion. how is he going to get by?

Dems need to reign in Biden, he's been off the chain since the election. This kind of thing is only going to embolden Trump.

I once did some IT work for Teodoro "Teddy" Nguema Obiang Mangue who is now Vice-President of Equatorial Guinea. At the time was known as the world's biggest playboy.

Huge mansion overlooking the ocean in Malibu, TWO Bugattis, three hole golf course, the most insane property I ever saw in California.

My point is, when Teddy's dad took over Equatorial Guinea, the strong rumor is, he and his men killed and ate his own brother to consolidate power and this South Korea loser just pushed a button with no plan whatsoever.

This is all true.

Wanna see a dead body?

The CEO of United Healthcare was assassinated on the street in NYC this morning. Look at this beautiful clean hit. The only unprofessional thing is doing it on camera.

meanwhile, all my Syria vacation plans have been dashed since I invested my whole retirement fund into Hawk Tuah coin at the top of the market and now I have to work a second job at an all-night gas station just to afford noodle ramen
