Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

That they did not get their shit together after last time says that they aren't *capable* of getting their shit together. So no, the only way they get anything from me ever again is fire *everyone* on the operational side within two layers of the CEO, and then stay clean for at least two full years.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

CA11 affirms lower court order tossing of Trump’s cases against Hillary Clinton and sanctioning his lawyers for bringing bad faith and frivolous claims.

![C. The District Court Did Not Abuse Its Discretion in Issuing Sanctions Based on Its Inherent Authority.
Federal courts have the inherent authority to "fashion an appropriate sanction for conduct which abuses the judicial process." Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 44-45 (1991). This authority arises from the "control necessarily vested in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of cases." Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31
(1962). To "unlock[] that inherent power," a court must find that a party or his attorney acted in "bad faith." Sciaretta v. Lincoln Nat'l Life Ins. Co., 778 F.3d 1205, 1212 (11th Cir. 2015). On a finding of bad faith, the district court may "assess attorney's fees." Id.
The district court ordered Trump and Habba (along with her law firm) to pay nearly $1 million in attorney's fees under its inherent authority. On appeal, Trump and Habba present several arguments against the sanctions. We discuss and reject each in turn.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:beirch5u3d3ybvuct27mtyxd/bafkreiapdlxp67gpzih2tqjvz4276mqtsq3f6ajrfukzygbtv5v7glyht4@jpeg)

The current US government's ongoing commitment to destroying the US tourism industry is of course not its worst feature morally, but it might be the weirdest.
The Interior Department has announced it will charge $100 per head for non-US residents to visit the most popular 11 national parks.
Stupid and self-defeating. Millions have visited those parks and left with with affection for America. No more, except those who can afford $400 per family per park.

If you can understand why a Hispanic ICE agent with a deportation quota will not save you....
Then you can understand why a Black cop with an arrest quota, cannot save you either.
The racism is in the system, not the individual.
The individual is just a part, working within that system.

If you try to push on the individual responsibility And interpersonal racism of the cop?
Then you will end up hiring a bunch of Black cops... who will work within the same racist system, and the outcome will not change.🤷🏿♂️
Eg, a city going from 400 to 800 cops, but 200 of the new cops are Black.🤦🏿♂️
