The knives are out for Miller. Will he get forced out? Or silenced?

Unfortunately, any damages that they might be awarded will be paid by US taxpayers, not by Chiselin’ Trump, himself.

Noem doesn’t understand her role. She was not supposed to throw Miller under the bus. She was supposed to step in front of it herself.
I don’t think she did this out of a survival instinct, I think she’s just stupid.

A Stagnant Labor Economy May Finally Be Heading Downward
How long until Dear Leader says other people need to be willing to work for less?

Surely, if Dear Leader can profit from oil extorted from VZ by American military action, or dues paid for membership on his Bored of Peace, he can afford to settle legal actions arising from his decisions?

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. There is a reason we say, “never forget.” I lost people on both sides of my family who I never got to meet, to hug, or to know, only what my grandparents told me about them. Part of a Jewish prayer for those who are suffering has extra meaning today: “When pain and fatigue are my companions, let there be room in my heart for strength. When days and nights are filled with darkness, let the light of courage find its place.” The people of Minnesota have room in their heart for strength and courage. Isn’t that amazing?

The economy here in Minnesota has not been helped with the ICEholes in town. Many smaller businesses have shut down. I am beginning to think that the note that came out from those Minnesota businesses was published because they are seeing the impact of all this from employees not coming to work and beginning to impact their bottom lines.
I can see where they might just want this to be over.

Depends on if Thiel wants him there or not. He’d be a handy lightning rod so that Vance could implement the Christian Taliban.

It seems like every day there’s another corporate announcement of mass layoffs. The AI that was supposed to be the excuse for worse customer service is neither cost effective nor popular. Venture capital is tapped out. Every day that the bubble doesn’t pop the contagion spreads through additional debt to finance data centers and GPUs.

You would think unemployment would be way down, what with all those “illegals” no longer staffing the vegetable and fruit fields, or the slaughterhouses and meat processing plants, staffing restaurants, or delivering food or folks? Good old natural born Americans would be filling all those positions! Regardless of the low pay, wage theft, irregular hours and lack of bennies! Amirite?
