discolé monade Posted February 9 Posted February 9 All Cabinet departments — like the Defense Department or the Treasury — as well as independent agencies, like the Securities and Exchange Commission, must comply with the APA in all policy actions or decisions. The APA was signed by President Harry Truman and received bipartisan support after a decade-long effort by Republican and Democratic lawmakers. Concerned with a burgeoning "administrative state" after the New Deal expanded the role of executive agencies, Republicans wanted judges to review and curb the executive branch's growing influence. 4 Quote

rpgamer Posted February 9 Posted February 9 2 hours ago, tsar4 said: Things aren't going so well for the Administration... I do get a little nervous about leaning on the judicial to hold things together, tho.. Under normal circumstances, totally fine, but, this administration has shown a clear disregard for legality already, and it still relies on actually enforcing the law in a way they don't just ignore. Every unconstitutional order is all too easily jumped on by anyone that thinks to gain from it, politically or financially, despite the orders not explicitly being laws. Idk. Just sorta anxiously waiting for the masks to come off and they all decide they're just going to make their own rules and declare courts have no power. Judicial wins are a great start, but I definitely feel a lot better seeing the wins in action. Costco shareholders rejected a proposal to review the company's DEI protocols 4 Quote

Buy it from f'ing whom?

They’ll buy it from desperate Palestinians for pennies on the dollar, providing they can prove they own it, which they probably won’t be able to do because their records are blown to fuck somewhere. So then they’ll (the US or likely a land developer) give the $ to the Israeli government, who will quickly fuck over the real land owner with a “who tills the land owns the land”. It’ll be a complete fuck over of the Palestinian people as their land gets “bought” right from under their feet. 5 Quote
discolé monade Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Donald Trump’s proposed “land grabs” mean the US is no longer perceived as “an anchor of stability, but rather a risk to be hedged against”, the organisers of the Munich Security Conference have said in their pre-summit report. but it's ok...right? in the eyes of the morons that put him on his throne...this is ok. 5 Quote

I mean, I'll read what I ask for. That is unless I genuinely don't think they're worth the tine, such as Bucket or the like. Even at my most combative, something I'm good at avoiding these days, I've never seriously put you in that category. I may have associated you with that during the classic tantrums I haven't gone on for several years, but I've certainly not held that as a genuine belief. It might not be worth typing out. I'd be inclined to read regardless. I did ask out of actual curiosity. Edited February 10 by naraku360 1 Quote
