So they got to murder someone legally.

You know they are on some online forum bragging about it anonymously.

Sadistic.

'We are witnessing the complete collapse of the relationship between government and truth, and action and consequence.'

'How far we've fallen', remarks @mrjamesob.bsky.social, as the 'cornucopia of crackpots and sycophants' continue to support Trump even after his tariff U-turns.

Right because the money was there. The only checks he writes from that account are quarterly taxes owed. So it’s never overdrawn etc.

Yep a friend has a business. He tried to write a check to the IRS to PAY his taxes and the bank would not honor the check said he couldn’t remove more that 10 grand per day from the account he opened specifically to PAY his taxes. Had to write different checks and space them out. WTF. It’s his money

My dad was at the bank today and noticed a lot of people in the bank. Overhead a teller tell the person in front of him that he can only take $5,000 out at a time.

He asked if he can come back tomorrow to take out the rest.

Anyone else seeing this?

Especially because Trump has sworn in people who are literally profiting from meme coin pump and dumps and scams. He put Bill Pulte as the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the same guy who was on YouTube livestreams with $BBBY cultists pumping a dead stock & stealing donations

A photo of the stock exchange. Headline text reads: 'US stocks have dropped sharply as the dollar slumps'.

The S&P 500 fell 3.4% in early trading and the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.6%, dragged down by an 8% fall for index heavyweight Apple. Meanwhile, the dollar was down 2.4% against a basket of rivals, on course for its biggest daily decline since 2015. www.ft.com/content/f820...

Oh yes, true! Forgot about that one! I started it but didn’t continue. Not bc it wasn’t good, I just didn’t have the time!

I think that one worked bc they literally took a fresh perspective on the OG show & made it even better. I think changing it from a sitcom helped as well!
