Trump will soon pardon a reality TV couple found #guilty of #fraud & #TaxEvasion, the White House confirmed.

Alright, knowers of consumer law, please take me through which crime this is (maybe point me to the relevant legislation?)

Went to drop my car off for service. The receptionist said if it's over $1000 there is an extra fee. I asked how much and she said she didn't know. She pointed to a laminated piece of paper on the bench which also said there's a fee for transactions but didn't say how much. I asked if it was a percentage, she said yes. I asked what percentage, she said maybe 7%, actually maybe 1%. I asked what the fee is for and who it is charged by, she said "it's just bologna". I asked her to confirm that she would not be telling me how much this fee is, but that she would require me to pay this fee to get my car back, she confirmed this.

This was in Mount Gambier SA.

Which crime is this? Thanks!

When Hillary Clinton was first lady, a furor erupted over reports that she had once made $100k from a $1k investment in cattle futures. Even though it had happened a dozen years before her husband became president, it became a scandal that lasted weeks & forced the White House to initiate a review.

@bmacDonald94 One difference between the two?

Hitler died by suicide *at the age of 56*, being a mass-murderous bastard, but NOT demented like Trump.

Trump's 78 now, publicly displaying unmistakable signs of dementia.

Hitler was a psychopathic manipulator, who made the Nazi party the big monstrous terror engine it became until 1945.

Trump is a manipulated psychopath directed by big bunch of radical fascist subversives, conspiracy theorists, mozzarella-white supremacists & fanatical illiberal legal professionals.

The subversives in the background puppeteering Trump are the real threat to the people's government, democracy, rights & liberties.

Law and Order? Safety?

Crissafulli ran on a platform of safety as his number one concern. But apparently the only safety he is worried about is the safety of property. He cares little about the safety of women and children.

#qldpol #law&order #safety

He refuses to support and implement laws protecting women in the workplace. He refuses to make workplaces safe for people.

This is why Teals emerged. LNP abandon women, so he will end up like Dutton. Women will abandon the LNP and him.

Read the room. Fuckwit!

"…Trump will have crowned himself king. No Congress and no court could stop him. Even if a future Congress were to try to stop him, it could not do so without the power of the courts to enforce their hearings, investigations, subpoenas, and laws.

What can you do? To begin with, call your members of Congress and tell them not to pass Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill."

Here is the letter dog killer #KristiNoem sent to #Harvard, [she of course posted it on X].

It does not allege ANY violation of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program #SEVP. Not one. She cites no #law violated, no regulation broken, no policy ignored.

#Harvard’s response:

“The government’s action is unlawful. We are fully committed to maintaining Harvard’s ability to host international students & scholars, who hail from more than 140 countries & enrich the University – & this nation – immeasurably.”

In the days before the govt’s error became public, #DHS ofcls discussed trying to portray #KilmarAbregoGarcia as a “leader” of the violent street gang #MS13, even though they could find NO EVIDENCE to support the claim. They considered ways to nullify the original order that barred his #deportation to #ElSalvador. They sought to downplay the danger he might face in one of that country’s most notorious prisons.

In the end, a snr #DOJ lawyer, Erez Reuveni, who counseled bringing #KilmarAbregoGarcia back to the US, was fired for what AG #PamBondi claimed was a failure to “zealously advocate on behalf of the United States.”

Documents obtained by NYT laying out the debate among leading lawyers at the #State, #Justice & #HomelandSecurity Depts reveal new details of the admin’s early efforts to *develop a strategy* for a case that has become a major test of #Trump’s mass #deportation effort.

#CoverUp #law

“This was an administrative error,” James Percival, a #DHS official appointed by #Trump, wrote to his colleagues on March 30. “(Not that we should say publicly.)”

Tricia McLaughlin, DHS propagandist, said in a statement that #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s #deportation was part of “a highly sensitive counterterrorism operation with national security implications.” [that’s some hardcore lying.]

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that #Trump broke the #law when he fired members of an independent #CivilLiberties #watchdog without cause in Jan, ordering the reinstatement of those challenging their removals in court.

In a 71-ph opinion, Judge Reggie B. Walton of the Federal District Court for #DC said that Trump’s dismissal of Democratic-selected members to the 5-person Privacy & Civil Liberties Oversight Board was illegal.

The judge issued a permanent #injunction ordering the govt to let the 2 board members challenging their dismissals, Travis LeBlanc & Edward W. Felten, immediately return to work.

In a statement, Mr. LeBlanc celebrated the outcome:

“The court’s decision is a win for #privacy, a win for #CivilLiberties, a win for #independent agencies & a win for the rule of #law. I look forward to promptly returning to the agency & continuing my service to the nation.”

ICE Agents Are Camped Outside Immigration Courts to Make Arrests

The tactical shift accelerates the erosion of limits on ICE — and appears to be aimed at speeding up the pace of deportations.

Harmeet Dhillon, the asst AG for the #DOJ's *#CivilRights* Division, said her office will seek to dismiss the pending litigation against the 2 cities & retract the dept's prior findings of constitutional violations.
"Overbroad #police consent decrees divest local control of policing from communities *where it belongs*, turning that power over to unelected & unaccountable bureaucrats, often with an anti-police agenda," Dhillon said in a [BS] stmnt.

The move comes 4 days before the May 25 5yr anniversary of the death of #GeorgeFloyd, a #Black man who was murdered by Derek Chauvin, a #white #police officer who knelt on his neck as Floyd repeatedly pleaded that he couldn't breathe.
Floyd's killing, & the killing of #BreonnaTaylor who was shot to death by #Louisville Police executing a no-knock warrant, sparked worldwide protests about racially-motivated policing practices during the final year of #Trump's 1st term.

“If biological sex were as obvious as lawmakers keep insisting that biological sex is, we wouldn’t be here. You wouldn’t have to try so hard to legislate the gender binary into existence.” https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-lege-pushes-to-define-biological-sex/

This whole thing is ridiculous. #DOJ is saying that after the congresswoman assaulted #ICE agents they then gave them a tour?

And why did it take 10 days for them to decide that Rep #LaMonicaMcIver had assaulted federal agents?

Oh right, because #KristiNoem started lying about it on TV. Got it.
