My guess is disgraced retired general and paid Russia Today personality Michael Flynn.

It could go that direction, or could go toward forcing otherwise unwilling people to join the military through a program that pays off student loans. This program looks pretty limited, but it looks like it has all the linkage to be expanded to be more generally applicable to more people:

College Loan Repayment Program (LRP)

Summary

The Loan Repayment Program (LRP) is a special incentive that the Army offers to highly qualified applicants entering the Army. Under the LRP, the Army will repay part of a Soldier’s qualifying student loans. Only specified Military Occupational Specialties (MOSs) qualify for the LRP.

Benefit Highlights

The Army will repay 33 1/3% of the outstanding principal balance, less taxes of the Soldier’s student loans annually or $1,500, whichever is greater, after each year of service (up to $65,000, less taxes) up to three years total. Loans must not be in default before entering active duty, and during the repayment process

U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents northern Wisconsin and is considering a run for governor in 2026 and kisses the boot, said the memo amounts to “ordering state employees to block ICE from doing their job.”

Fixed the article.

Even though it feels like its been an eternity already, trump has only been in office 87 days.

Former major makes major blunder by signaling major incompetence on Signal, forcing former major to seek force majeure immunity.

The general consensus is that the private information shared on Signal is a major problem that should probably lead to corporal punishment.

At the time, Dr. Steven Hotze, the sole trustee and beneficiary of the Braidwood Management company, said he was unwilling to pay for PrEP or STI screenings for his employees. “They are consequences of a patient’s choice to engage in drug use, prostitution, homosexual conduct, or sexual promiscuity – all of which are contrary to Dr. Hotze’s sincere religious beliefs,” the complaint read.

How about rape, Mr Hotze? Do patients that contract STIs when they are the victims of rape deserve to just suffer even more with STIs after their attack? How about the victims loved ones? Do you expect them to shun the victims of rape if they contracted an STI from it?

What they are worth is what someone is willing to pay for it, not what Tesla prices it at.

They aren’t selling: Cybertruck Isn’t Selling So Tesla Shifts Production To What Actually Sells

Even Tesla doesn’t want them and refuses them as trade-ins but will take other cars so its not a problem with trade-ins in general: Tesla Is So Cooked That It’s Now Refusing to Accept Cybertrucks as Trade-Ins

but that’s no reason to completely ruin this girl’s guy’s life, she’s already paying for college…

We agree on this.

two Tesla Cybertrucks worth more than $100,000

Doubt

They should reply with only:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

But the judge, appointed to the court by Trump during the president’s first term, said he has to assume that the administration is operating in good faith unless time proves otherwise.

Mr Judge, trump is intentionally defying your judicial order. What part of that is operating in good faith? What will it take for your to see that “good faith” has long since been exhausted?

Because they don’t want to be the US citizen in question.

Could the court, at the next hearing on this matter, jail the DOJ lawyer representing the government for contempt?

“Hiddenday”

It would be a day locked away from everyone’s consciousness until the day’s arrival. You’d be expecting your normal 7 day week, and go to bed Sunday night. Then the day after Sunday you’d wake will full knowledge of Hiddenday and everything you’ve ever done on prior Hiddendays. You’d already have a plan and knowledge if you were choosing to go to work to earn extra money, if you’d be staying home resting just a bit more, or going out to spend time with friends or family. You’d go to sleep on Hiddenday night knowing you’d forget the specific details of what you did that day ( but that you’d have that knowledge back next Hiddenday in 7 days). You’d wake up Monday morning remembering yesterday was Sunday, but you’d have any knowledge you accumulated the hidden day prior. If you worked and are paid hourly, you’d see an extra 8 hours of pay on your payslip, and no one would ever question why there were more hours. You’d carry the same rested feeling you had going to sleep on Hiddenday night but not know exactly why. Your family would tell you how much they loved spending time with you this week, and you’d feel the same, but you couldn’t put your finger on exactly which day that happened.

We’d all go to work on Monday thinking how wonderful it would be if there was a 8th day.

The tact taken by this administration isn’t trying to amend the Constitution, its to simply ignore it. There are three branches of government in the USA. trump’s Executive branch and the Legislative appear to be in nearly lock-step in ignoring the Constitution and their duties to uphold it. The Supreme Court has capitulated in almost every action trump’s Executive has asked, with only minor pushback. The recent 9-0 Supreme Court decision requiring the trump administration to return of Ábrego García to the USA is the first real pushback we’ve seen. So far trump is continuing to ignore the return requirement.

In other words, the Constitution is worthless if the bodies in power charged with its defense choose to simply break their oath of office and not defend it.

Why does it feel like the trump administration would use Mangione’s acquittal by jury as a reason to try to attack and do away with the 6th Amendment (trial by jury amendment)?

Older movies, but these themes are central to both The Net and Enemy of the State.

That said, the fingernail thing isn’t a myth.

Oh I don’t think flip/foldables are impervious to a strong enough press from a fingernail, I’m just of the opinion that phones get beat and broken all the time. That a flip/foldable is susceptible to a different kind of damage isn’t a dealbreaker for me.

I think even people that put money into these know these are a rug-pull. However we need to update the meme. Perhaps those that lost are: temporarily embarrassed rug-pullers themselves. As in, they were hoping to fleece someone else, and got fleeced instead so they’ll stand up and defend those that fleeced them hoping one day to fleece others.

Its bad people all the way down from the abusers to the victims.

I feel like its a bad idea for people to buy these. I mean… the screen are weak plastics that can get damaged by a fingernail.

I’ve never had a screen scratch on my flipable from a fingernail. Also, how many people do you see walking around with a blown out cracked glass screen on non-foldables? People are hard on all phones.

Seems like an expensive buy for such a terrible durability. A terrible deal in my opinion.

They’re just not that expensive secondhand which is how I buy them. You can see you can get last year’s flagship model for $200 to $400. If you get the 2023 model its even cheaper at $100-$200.

At this cost who cares if it breaks in two to three years?

What even is the use-case for these, anyways?

They are VERY small compared to normal mobile phones and you can put it in your pocket. I really like that.
