You actually can’t if you are already on record. Only the judge can dismiss you for cause.

That’s one way to get rid of an annoying client…

He’s not wrong. Even more, with them worshiping at the king Trump altar they will even be able to buyout all the competitors that were hurt by these tariffs (no regulators to stop them) and make their monopoly even stronger.

We would be really struggling to stay alive pay ourselves millions in salaries.

Deal is DOA. Trump doesn’t want a deal, in his own words he hates EU because he thinks it was created to hurt US.

Fascists defends fascists? What a surprise…

Israel expands demolitions ethnic cleansing of West Bank refugee homes.

Good to see. CryptPad has been go to for collaborative docs for years now.

Despite their debt crisis in 2008 they did recover. Their 2024 GDP was ~€240€ billion.

Did you ask school teachers if they want to be armed?

It’s good alongside F-Droid, doesn’t really work as a complete replacement.

It’s hard to pin down what she actually believes in, but if I had to guess she was forced to take those strategists on and their policies to maintain access to the funding that came from Biden.

Even if she didn’t believe in many of the popular policies she mentioned in the early days, I think she had okay instincts, but was too afraid to go against the whole Democratic machine.

Being a strategist is a business and they get paid no matter if they win or lose, so their interest lie in protecting that business model inside the aparatus.

P.S. Nowhere did I defend the Harris or her loosing strategy. I just pointed out factual mistake.

It was Biden strategists not her.

Three weeks into her presidential run was the first time the Biden campaign’s pollsters — now hers — held a deep-dive call with Kamala Harris’ inner circle to discuss what she’s been saying on the stump. Over the line came a lot of praise, but also some suggested tweaks. First, said veteran Democratic numbers man Geoff Garin, summarizing their analysis, stop saying, “We’re not going back.” It wasn’t focused enough on the future, he argued. Second, lay off all the “weird” talk — too negative.

I see 3 main reasons she lost and none of them have really anything to do with Walz.

1. She refused to break with Biden on any policy failures even though he was extremely toxic.
2. She hired useless Biden strategists who pushed the typical unpopular bullshit like courting republicans (hence Cheney), being pro business, wars are great, “I love cracking”. And her pro working class/anti-corporations messaging disappeared. Remember price gauging talks in the first rallies?
3. She ignored a genocide, backstabbed Paslestinians at DNC and promised to continue arming the terrorist state of Israel.

Walz was put in a box and hidden the moment Biden stategist were hired. He literally was nowhere seen after a first week until the debate (which was a total failure as he was forced to repeat her horrible positions) and then last week. He was chosen before Biden stategists joined who hated his guts since they literally fought all their miserable lives against working class policies he supports. They wanted Shapiro.

Shapiro is, quite simply, a genocide apologist. He has compared antiwar protesters to “people dressed up in KKK [Ku Klux Klan] outfits or KKK regalia.” He called for clamping down on anti-genocide voices, especially on college campuses — free speech be damned. He supports a bill to punish colleges that boycott or divest from Israel, including financial punishments. He also condemned Liz Magill, then president of the University of Pennsylvania, after a McCarthyite congressional hearing designed to gin up dishonest accusations of tolerance for antisemitism and before she resigned. As attorney general, he went after Ben & Jerry’s when the company decided to stop selling to Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

To be fair, he was intentionally gagged by the Kamala’s useless strategists during the debate. You could see how uncomfortable he was repeating her talking points instead of talking about working class people issues he championed and achieved.

Probably both.

They were losing popularity before the elections were called though. The losses are because of the circle around the flag effect, but their unpopularity is not.

More likely Trump just called his buddy Bezos and said to kill it.
