It’s pretty obvious at this point. As soon as one funding stream dries up, the President starts looking for the next paycheck.

you think The Cabinet is just pushing 😁the narrative they want you to believe 😁?

looks like you didn't even read the linked article 😉.

It’s honestly pathetic how far this city has fallen. 👎

I just want the people of San Francisco to use a little more common sense at the next election. 👍

Give me some actual examples of why you think the people running San Francisco are so heartless...

and there's no need to attack me (like that other guy did). you can try to explain it
if you feel like it. if not, just say so and we're good

Larry Scott3 said:Since the City of San Francisco is the majority owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, they arguably have an obligation to be at the final, especially since it was the first FIFA final in history involving an American club...

It didn't seem to bother anyone when everyone was enthusiastically celebrating the losers of the finals back in 2018...

🤣
I was being completely serious and polite when I asked for an explanation because I genuinely don't get it. But this is how you respond to me 🙂
p.s. I definitely didn't go to any football celebrations. Watching the games is great, but the parties aren't really my thing 🤷

vividraven79 said:As for the mayor, I'm not so sure... but both deputy mayors would definitely be out there checking on the junior varsity teams, even if they didn't hold those titles.

And if you don't get why we celebrate the juniors, you clearly haven't spent enough time in Washington, D.C.

now I want to know why. If it's not too much trouble, explain :-) thanks

Joe Biden to Donald Trump: 'Half of your Administration was busy partying in that hole in Canada, not to mention a few judges from the Republican Party quota.'

says: What's the catch here? Is the tower just an eyesore?

It’s ugly, plain and simple. Ten floors too many.
They never should have been allowed those extra 10 floors. I'm certain they wouldn't have gotten the permits if they had initially proposed a 27-story building.
Their whole plan was clearly to play it sneaky and negotiate for more later, which is exactly what happened.

Ten extra floors is an increase of over fifty percent!!! (The City shouldn't have ever permitted this, and once they did, the developers completely bypassed the requirements set by the municipality. They didn't even build the additional parking garages required for those levels—instead, they just passed off 13 of them as meeting rooms.

And that's just one part of the shell game.

hollowmason64 said:Even if we’re all sitting here laughing and making jokes about it, what Biden is saying actually carries weight—that it's deeply unsettling how these people don't hesitate to throw a little pawn under the bus just to play their own internal political games. That part is true.
And honestly, anyone with half a brain finds the whole thing pretty chilling.

Exactly. They don't care at all. They'll step over anyone to reach their goal.
We joke about it just to make swallowing the daily crap they serve us a little easier.
It isn't funny at all. Both the driver and the director were basically set up; they both did everything by the book.
A few years ago, I was shocked when the Department of Justice failed to protect an average citizen like me. Now I get why my lawyer told me my expectations were too high. Once you start paying attention to politics, it all clicks. Look at this: the Department of Justice just absolutely gutted the FBI director and some random victim without a second thought.

Professor Smith just tore the head of the Department of Justice to shreds: 'Marusic was simply following the FBI's own protocols.
This is pure politics.'
The leading expert thoroughly debunked the excuses the Department of Justice and The Cabinet are using to justify the shake-up.

Sam Martinez9 said:He’s using Limarka against her, while you're just being a slimy... Honestly, I think there was some truth to the idea that democracy is essentially a system that prevents the people from having a government better than what they actually deserve.

You missed the whole point there. You really need to turn on your sarcasm detector first.😉

Biden: 'Trump's associate already tried to sabotage the head of the outlaw agency, and now this. It’s not the first time the Department of Justice has lied'

EDIT: Video is on CNN too 😬

if they're occupying part of the complex illegally
- because their contract expired
- which they weren't even entitled to in the first place (getting free space was never an option)

so how does that make them part of some "specialized operational function of the entire complex." 🤔

We weren't squatters. We were essential to the specialized operation of the entire complex.

🤔 🤔

what purpose are they actually serving there... what kind of function are we even talking about here?

Zachary Anderson20 said:Finding excuses for trash? Have you even looked at my past posts? You need half a brain to realize what's going on here. Let me break it down for you—I make fun of things because nobody around here will say a damn word about who is constantly running their mouth or what kind of benefit the City gets from it. Instead, everyone wants to dwell on some sad, ugly story about an old lady, because, let’s be real, the unnamed US person is right. It's ugly and it's depressing, but they're right. They're still trying to take over the unnamed US labor union or whatever. Just leave the woman alone.

Yeah, you've got a point there. Since he clearly lacks any sense of humor, he could probably pick a different topic if he actually wanted to mock the administration.

But you're the one using her just so you can obsess over the mayor. And everyone else follows suit with "leave her alone" and "save the poor soul."

And it's not even true that there wasn't talk about him cutting back on travel.

Zachary Anderson20 said:unnamed US person

Maybe it's because we don't know what kind of "good cause" our mayor is traveling to in South Korea, or how exactly those expensive trips are going to pay off for the city, so they have nothing else to write about?
God, I'm rooting for one more trip—just so they finally leave the old lady alone and let the unnamed US labor union take over, or maybe some decent soul could step up and help her out privately.

What does a trip have to do with the rest of that sentence?

Typical. No actual thoughts, just rambling. Real solid argument there...👍

velvetmason14 said:Is this Nataša Škaričić acting as a journalist or a politician?

Maybe she should mention her political ties to the Left wing before she starts trashing Milanović...

So much for "journalistic integrity" and objectivity when it's this bad.🤦

“Plenković acts just like Bernie Sanders”

Quincy:

“It’s rock bottom,” says Škaričić regarding the President's statements. “He is someone whose rhetoric represents a total systemic collapse. When he discusses concrete issues, he says things that, especially given his legal background, shouldn't even cross his mind. … He is truly terrible on every possible level. … He has a very real chance of just coasting through his retirement at The White House. As for the debate between him and Plenković, it’s like watching the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard—it's beneath contempt and makes absolutely no sense,” she claims.

Someone needs to hold Nataša accountable...

🙂

I protest 🙂

The Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial was actually informative and entertaining 🙏
A live stream; you see and hear everything, there's no Hrstić to relay it or Nataša to interpret it for you.
Her connection is stupid. Context is what matters—what Milanović actually says. Her delivery is just an adjective: loud.
(Speaking of delivery, the GOP is verbal sewage, always has been, just look at their Facebook feeds).

Most people watching the JD trial were just random folks from various industries who found it fascinating—especially those in entertainment, lawyers, medical experts, armchair philosophers, astrologers, Photoshop pros... even some carpenter explaining how wood breaks with a blunt object versus a sharp one 😁
So all those people are beneath everyone else? 🙄

Joe Biden just dropped another bomb regarding the situation at Remetinec. It’s the same old story with the judiciary and the political maneuvering happening behind closed doors. The tension is rising, and honestly, it feels like we've seen this movie before...

United States of America
Joe Biden fired back at Andrej Plenković: "I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing, so why don't you go do some push-ups, kid..."

I don't usually weigh in on judges unless they start making a spectacle of themselves in the public eye. For the most part, they're just people doing their jobs. But those few thugs and shady characters who spend one hand throwing people in jail and the other hand running their mouths? They definitely deserve some commentary...On spoke this past Friday following the formal ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of California, Joe Biden said...

He took aim at those recent comments from Supreme Court Justice Ivan Turudić. On Friday morning, Turudić basically dismissed him, claiming he was "just a trainee back at the Commercial Court" and lacks the competence to weigh in on judicial matters...

"Ture-Bure spent his career dealing with horse thieves and tobacco smugglers before rolling into Washington, D.C. as a Republican," Joe Biden concluded. He added that in a decent country, people like Ivan Turudić wouldn't even be allowed near a judgeship in the first place. Unlike Turudić, he noted, he was actually chosen by the voters...

He was "promoted" as a judge despite having almost zero experience, but because he's a Republican, they just "fast-tracked" him straight to the Superior Court of Los Angeles, the President said... In a decent country, you wouldn't see people like that at the Remetinec courthouse....

"Turudić is intellectually stunted," Joe Biden remarked, adding that judges Ivan Turudić and Marin Mrčela should be held accountable for extraditing U.S. citizens to other countries in cases where the statute of limitations had already expired...

crimsonwolf26 said:John Hickenlooper damaged San Francisco with an acoustic guitar🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, I think even the Republican headquarters should be able to laugh at this stuff themselves. If they can't find some ridiculous way to fine him for illegal parking, then maybe they should stop making fools of themselves. For once, let's just leave the man alone.🤣

Yeah, but they’re laughing at their own "brilliance" (and not out of shame).
Seriously, what isn't hilarious when the Musk scandal is blowing up, there's pure panic over at ADZ, and everyone's wondering what are we going to do now, what are we going to do? And then they suddenly remember to call themselves: FIGHTERS AGAINST CORRUPTION.

ZERO TOLERANCE, right? Give me a break.

It's honestly enough to make you die laughing.

🤣
Biden is at it again, making noise about the Remetinec cemetery situation. He’s basically throwing shade at the judiciary and claiming everything is rigged. It's the same old story from him... just constant agitation. Typical.

Quotes:

"I don't comment on judges unless they start making a scene in public," Biden said on Friday following a ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of California. "Most of them actually know how to do their jobs. But those few thugs and shady characters who throw people in jail with one hand while causing a ruckus with the other? They deserve to be called out."

Quotes:

Biden doubled down on his claim that Donald Trump has political Tourette's... "The guy is too anemic to even do two pushups... he’s got political Tourette's. And just because I snort? I've dealt with allergies my entire life. He's really gonna try and mock me for that..." Trump is just a protector of thieves, according to him... "If you're asking how long we can keep going like this—forever," Biden said, adding that an "Anemic" doesn't actually suffer from anemia at all.

granitecyclist said:Judge Turudić, that pillar of absolute moral integrity whose judicial career is basically spotless (well, except for that one little mishap where he couldn't quite remember who was actually behind the wheel of his car*😉), has gone and done it again to the Bidenites—just like how, I assume, Barr would have handled things too.

Quotes:

"He spent a tiny bit of time as an insignificant intern at the Delaware Chancery Court. He honestly has fewer days on the bench than I have decisions under my belt, so I suppose it’s a bit much for him to be weighing in on the judiciary or specific rulings. It seems almost ridiculous when he attacks a decision he clearly hasn't even read himself; I'm pretty sure he hasn't, judging by his comments, especially since he's essentially throwing his own office chief—who happens to be a close friend—under the bus...."

🍿

Quotes:

Back on October 20, 2018, in Des Moines, Judge Turudić's car was caught speeding, yet he wasn't entirely certain who was driving at the time. He ended up providing a list of people who use his vehicle—including his wife, his son, and most likely his son-in-law, who lives in Des Moines. Ultimately, he was cleared by the District Court of Des Moines. It looks like he won't even have to pay the speeding ticket, because they couldn't officially determine who was driving, nor could they penalize him for failing to provide reliable evidence regarding the driver.

The judiciary must be independent, efficient, expert, and honest. Only when those standards are met can we actually talk about a rule of law or a legitimate legal state.

Judges can't be members of political parties, nor should they engage in political activity, does honest and expert Turudić know that?

Quotes:

Adds that you think Biden "takes it upon himself to comment on everything"

Hahaha, and they're bothered by Biden. This gang isn't used to being called out so much.
what a bunch of trash. how did it get this far? the bigger the thief, the higher the status and reputation they demand.
all these people who had their doctorates paid for by state companies in Osijek are now teaching at universities one after another.
the crew with bought and copied doctorates 🤦

And what Turudić pulled to dodge his punishment is truly "top-tier and professional."
you can really see his expertise 😳

Then Eric Adams breaks the rules by slashing the amount.

Justin Trudeau would have to be delusional to go along with that. The FBI would be knocking on his door by tomorrow morning. He's already being investigated for things he didn't even do; imagine what would happen then. 🤣

Exactly.
Her contract is ALREADY finished.

Someone’s out here threatening kids with water bottles on the street.
Everyone has their own version of the Joker 🙂

It's just great when a woman uses children to play the victim. Real classy. Top tier behavior.
