I thought the Onion did satire as opposed to actual journalism.

Gulf of America is some rehash Freedom Fries all over again. I'm so tired of performance politics. People actually hurting and struggling and all folks can do is hype some non-sense in front of a camera.
Freedom fries not far behind from making a come back. Because you know, that’s how you solve issues.
Digital circuits. Went to college for Electromechanical engineering. Got really into digital circuits.
Got out of college and pretty much fell into computer programming. Fast forward several decades and I finally land a job with same hours and good pay with life in a semi stable state.
Decide to hobby my enjoyment for digital circuits. Fucking chip shortage happens and getting MCUs and GALs (among others) become harder to get.
It’s slowly gotten better, but it had me asking if the universe didn’t want me doing digital circuits.
Good job getting a shot of it before Musk orders more free speech and that result is free speeched into oblivion.
One, the filing can be found here. Because this story basically links over to the WSJ's copy of the PDF file. A PDF file that's on their CDN which is paywalled.
Two, yeah I was absolutely expecting this to happen and it's likely we are going to see a ton of this. The law requires a bit of transparency. I fully expect Trump to counter with "national security" and tell the courts to fuck off because Congress is spineless as fuck. And Trump calling everything an emergency or nation security to prevent any kind of judicial oversight was like his whole MO last go round.
Three, we've got to reform emergency powers in the United States. It's got to be a one and done for 90-days. Post that, Congress has to step in. As the law is now, every 90-days the President can renew the emergency and basically the other two branches can suck his dick which is quite possibly the dumbest function we've got in our laws.
All that said, I fully expect Trump to tell all the courts to go to hell and the case to be dismissed for lack of everything because it's "top secret" shit they're doing in DOGE. Filing in the Courts ain't going to do shit to stop the guy. Only Congress can check the guy at this point and they are all too busy sucking his dick. So for at least the next two years, Trump will get away with literally everything.
Yeah, this is exactly the point here everyone. The pardons work because nobody has asked anyone if these blanket pardons are indeed legit.
So we can all sit here and try to mince the logic of such, but the real answer is that it exists in a superposition of legal and not legal until the various courts rule upon it.
It's an incredibly bad chart mostly for the x-axis being so horrible in scale that March, when a lot of fines were handed out, had to be repeated twice.
What we are seeing are specific fines that were handed out. Like the Apple $2B fine is from the EU for antitrust law violation that was handed to them in March. The $89M fine was handed out by the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in October over the whole Apple Card thing and how bank disputes weren't being handled and how Goldman Sachs who backed the card wasn't keeping all of the required compliance information (which I'm shocked at how quickly everyone forgot about it).
I digress.
Yeah, this chart is incredibly bad at indicating this information and by breaking out by violation over time really takes away from the point that ought to be expressed.

Democratic Political Establishment: "I will slit your throat with a rusted spork if you even think to take my defeat I so rightly stole from victory's jaws!"
Like had fours years to prep literally anyone to take Biden's place, decided "Nah fuck it! We run dementia man!" And then last moment was like "WHAT?! Dementia man not popular? Fuck it, we'll just select whoever ourselves fuck all those primaries." $10 says they learn absolute jack shit from this.
the magards will finally realize they've been took
No they won't. They will line up for the next one. The only reason they will ever stop is because they have nothing left. And then when they have nothing they will blame immigrants, woke, Soros, or whoever for their lot in life.
There are people who exist in this world who can not comprehend that the actions they take lead in part to the consequences that follow. The only thing that can be done is to watch from the side them losing everything and then getting out of the way as best one can in their fit of rage.
Sort of like a person with a gambling addiction putting the last $10k of their life savings into a slot machine. We know what's going to happen, there is nothing that can stop it from happening.

Goddamn can I read that man like a fucking book. I'm sorry we're all trying to vote the bastard out but the State gerrymandered the district because... AND I SHIT YOU NOT... "California does it, so it's okay if we do it too". Honest to God what our State Assembly said about breaking Nashville up into a hellscape of gerrymandering.
Do know, he's an idiot IRL as well. He's the kind that's really full of himself and he's got a super high self-worth in head.
