Regulations especially against harmful practices in manufacturing and financials are intended to protect the environment, communities, workers and consumers in said places.

China hasn't a long history of giving a shit about safe practices.

In America we know of our risks and want protection.

Damn. And I thought catholic educational terror was due to the freak'n nuns!

You know, Rasputin made his way into royal influence by enticing the Tsarina, yes??

Is it more than very very remotely possible Musk is pleasuring Melania?

But, but really, the memo on how to do a coup de etat said dictatorial takeover requires no election.

Don't question, don't complain, accept that God has made the important choice.

Vance was a distraction to keep us away from criticizing Musk.
He was, more than less, a male version of Sarah Palin.

... Musk and Trump wish to be free of such constraint. MONEY in their minds should rule all, as evidenced by Musk's purchase of Trump's presidency.

Yes, and Trump has penis envy

It means a new prosecutor must be handed the portfolio.

While Trump's defense will try to make everything found by the original team in admissible.

The only thing wrong with that illusion is that Elon is going over the cliff wearing a parachute made for Base-Jumping

He's got complete immunity of Trump, as well as Trump's presidential liberty to pardon him.

Mostly I sit, in amazed respect at their perseverance and courage facing an enemy so terrible that it makes many US politicians hesitant to act.

Or maybe America's 1st Reich by an Afrikaner

If I was paranoid I'd be wondering just what tech Elon has implanted in Trump's skull.

Been there, done that.

Don't panic when in a couple of days the leads will no longer stay stuck to your skin. Just keep pushing them back on.

Same with the leads into the Holter monitor box.

And, as Redd Skelton used to say, "May gawd bless yer beating heart!"

Once, I would have expected court help will come sometime in the future, but Trump has SCOTUS blanket immunity for everything he does in his official role, and I'm guessing that will soon be extended to Musk, Ramaswamy and all elected MAGAs.

Lame duck Dems, you're at it again. Wait until you are powerless to do anything but too little too late.

And in 2026 you'll undoubtedly run on the notion you did your very best in opposition.

After all else is considered, the NFL is an ENTERTAINMENT industry... and the Bears as a team can't rise to that low bar for those of us who aren't amused by trainwrecks

It's interesting that when we're feeling aggrieved we find relief in venerating a radical anti-government religious terrorist...

I suppose that's because of how the psychology of oppression makes the enemy of the proxy for my actual oppressor a hero.
