Jed Shugerman: Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a flagrant violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause:

"The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]." Art II, S.1, cl. 7.

Republicans like to keep the People uneducated. Texas is a prime example because its governance between Democrats and GOP can be compared. The intelligence of Texns has dropped in just one generation under Republican rule. BUT! Most Texans over 12 can still count to 10. =====================

He did say before the presidential election, “Vote for me this one time Christians and you’ll never have to vote again, we’re going to fix it so you’ll never have to vote again” Am I the only one who remembers this??

Why the fuck do we allow any foreign country to buy up land of any kind in America. China and probably Russia are buying up farm land. Soon we’ll have no food. WTF are people doing?!

Gas is currently $5.09 in my area. Minimum wage in PA is $7.25 You gotta work 45 mins for a gallon of gas to drive to your minimum wage job. How much longer before people just stop showing up because it's unaffordable to do so?

We have a mob boss in the Oval Office who uses power & loyalty rather than institutional norms. From his language to his actions, he threatens anyone he deems not loyal to him. He is doing this on the world stage threatening to blow up Iran to individuals like Marjorie Taylor Greene. #25thAmendment

They call them "data centers" because “mass-surveillance centers” would be harder to sell.

Trump demands ABC fire Kimmel on Monday. FCC orders Disney's early license renewals on Tuesday. That's not a coincidence. That's retaliation. The 1st Amendment only works if the gov't can't threaten your license for content they don't like. Every broadcaster in America is watching. That's the point.

What are Texans actually gaining from data centers? Less water, higher power bills, more pollution, less farm land, harmed livestock, less public funds, few local jobs. Big Tech takes our resources, and our communities get left behind.
