If there's anything authoritarians hate it's when governments seize trillion-dollar industries on the basis of vague accusations of wrongthink.
Economist (and Nobel laureate) Paul Krugman: “Control of Starlink must, one way or another, be taken away from Elon Musk. It’s a matter of national security: we cannot let private individuals make foreign and defense policy, and it would be totally irresponsible to leave a crucial military asset in the hands of a racist, authoritarian conspiracy theorist.”

It's actually not normal, but the fact that PBS media is telling you it's normal should actually tell you a lot, shouldn't it
If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too. (via @PolitiFact) to.pbs.org/4zqnWBa

The Democratic Party’s multi-decade effort to swing open our national borders to import millions of illegal aliens they can give amnesty in order to replace the existing electorate, must fail.
The law must be enforced.
Even if Democrats really really don’t wanna.

The correct interpretation is that some people are willing to waste the time of six city workers to avoid paying $3
It will never be profitable to prosecute $3 crimes. But, society runs on a bunch of $3 transactions. So to have a society you have to arrest the guy stealing $3.

Realize what she’s saying here: she wanted you to indefinitely subsidize her $356,901 loan with payments of just $500 per month so she could get a useless degree that qualifies her to lecture you on how you should give her more shit
My student loans were taken out based on generous income based repayment plans with monthly payments of around $500.
Now thanks to Trump killing off the SAVE plan for no reason but he hated Biden it will be ballooning to $1400 a month and will end up at 4Xs the loan amounts.
How do I sue for breech of contract??

For 10 years, the Never Trump intifada carefully blended sheer grift with insufferable sanctimony.... now a decade later, the 'deeply principled' are reduced to endorsing a guy whose familial Muslim Brotherhood ties would see him banned from most Islamic countries.

NB: what is happening in Poland - where Brussels & Berlin's man Donald Tusk tried to upend Poland's Constitutional Tribunal while the Polish President was overseas & during the holy All Saints/All Souls weekend - is an augury of the liberal 'lawfare' to come

Yeah, if you fake your entire academic career and make outlandish and self-aggrandizing claims about hundreds of other things you haven't done, and invent various academic positions and achievements for yourself, and then try and use the police to intimidate journalists investigating all your lies, then, "to put it mildly", things "don't go well"

The real reason is that she's a streetwalker who now plies her trade in the Dem side of town. But she can't say that out loud, so she makes up highfalutin excuses like this which she hopes will fool at least some people, and at least herself if no one else.
