Man, fuck this Puerto Rican, all of the vile stuff Trump has done and you still support him up until the point he insulted your people
It was a correction, not a question... And they are not binding only on employees of the executive branch. Obama's most famous executive order was DACA. You don't have a clue about this.
Look at this article from Biden's first weeks in office. This is all wide-reaching stuff. If you don't understand, ask a question. Everything doesn't have to be an argument.
President Joe Biden's efforts to move the country forward have, in his early days in office, been to put it in reverse.The president has already issued more than three dozen executive orders and memorandums on a wide range of issues, from LGBTQ rights to climate change and immigration. And virtually all of them have been done to reverse or stop actions taken by the administration of President Donald Trump.The president has given each day a topical theme, signing his name to documents on matters ranging from immigration to the pandemic. On Thursday, Biden signed executive orders on health care, including reopening the health care marketplace beyond its original deadline last December so people can sign up for an Affordable Care Act plan from Feb. 15-May 15. He also directed agencies to reexamine policies that undermine protections for people with pre-existing conditions as well as waivers that make it harder to get Medicaid, such as work requirements. ...Another executive order gets rid of the the so-called global gag rule and domestic gag rule, both of which ban federal funds to entities performing abortions, even if other monies are used to pay for the procedures. Trump expanded the global gag rule to deny all U.S. health assistance – not just family planning aid – to entities that provide, or even discuss, abortion with patients.Biden noted before signing the documents Thursday that he wasn't doing anything other than returning things to a pre-Trump status quo."There's nothing new we're doing here other than restoring the Affordable Care Act and restoring Medicaid to the way it was before Trump became president," Biden said from the Oval Office."Again, I'm not initiating any new law, any new aspect of the law. This is going back to what the situation was prior to the president's executive order," Biden said, appearing to address concerns that he is making new law without congressional input.Earlier in the week, Biden signed executive orders and memorandums aimed at combating climate change, largely by making climate change a central factor in the development of both domestic and national security policy.
You're welcome.
I see you're busy posting every tweet posted today-- Do you still stand by your statement that executive orders only affect executive branch employees and the only thing Trump did in office was pass his tax bill?
When I'm wrong I'm man enough to admit it-- Are you?
Fuck this bitch….. stay on that side
Tone deaf....
I zoomed in and it looks like it’s a cracka with brown spray paint on or at least that’s what I’m hoping for but fuck all those involved
Huh???
Clark County sheriff’s commander reprimanded; posted he wouldn’t help Democrats
Lt. John Rodgers said his medication may have led to ‘out of character’ social media posts; Sheriff’s chief deputy says he’s still ‘confident that (Rodgers) will do his job’Clark County Sheriff’s cruiser. Bill Lackey/Staff

A patrol commander for the Clark County Sheriff’s Office was reprimanded for Facebook posts in which he said he would require proof of who a person voted for before providing aid and would not help Democrats.
Lt. John Rodgers, who was hired to the sheriff’s office in 2002, received a written reprimand for his conduct, which Chief Deputy Mike Young said does not represent the views of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
The posts, included in Rodgers’ personnel file, include one stating “At the end of the day I will require proof of who you voted for if you ask me for help. Weapons and ammo are not cheap” and another posted on Oct. 20 that said “I am sorry. If you support the Democrat party I will not help you.”
Chief Deputy Young tied the issue to the ongoing strain in Springfield and Clark County over Haitian immigration.
“We’ve been in this battle over the last few months, with the attacks on the Haitian community and other immigrants, and we protect people’s rights and we don’t support the conduct to the contrary,” Young said. “I can’t go back in time and take that post away; the lieutenant made the post and he has received consequences for that.”
In a letter to Major Scott Cultice in Rodgers’ personnel file, Rodgers said he does not recall writing the posts and he was alerted to them when a coworker asked if he was OK. He wrote that he did not find them on his page when he searched for them and that the first time he saw them was during a meeting with Cultice.
Rodgers said that he sometimes takes a prescribed sleep aid that can cause him to make “out of character” texts, phone calls or other forms of communication as a side effect.
“I was taken aback when I read those messages and do not have those, nor have I ever had feelings toward anyone like what was depicted in the posts,” Rodgers wrote. “I have served this community, this County and the State for the last 31 years serving as a firefighter, campus policy officer and a Sheriff’s Deputy. There is no other job that would want to be doing than the one that am currently at.”
Rodgers apologized for causing concerns and said he decided to cease taking the medication. The lieutenant did not return a News-Sun message seeking comment.
Young told the News-Sun that the sheriff’s office has taken the posts seriously and that he is not concerned that the statements would have an impact on Rodgers’ ability to perform his duties. He said he had known Rodgers for around 40 years and believes these statements to be out of character for him.
“I’m confident that he will do his job, he will continue to serve the public; he just has to own the things that were said,” Young said.
The sheriff’s office provides services for all community members, regardless of their political affiliation or other demographics of which they are part, Young said. He said the situation will “take us back some steps” and the sheriff’s office will have to work to regain community trust and support — something he said it is willing to do.
“I hope that our community doesn’t believe that that reflects the entire profession of law enforcement and also not characteristic of the mission that we have here at the sheriff’s office.”

NSA, FBI, CISA, and Allies Issue Advisory about Russian Military Cyber Actors
FORT MEADE, Md. – The National Security Agency (NSA) joins the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and international allies in publishing the Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) “Russian Military Cyber Actors Target U.S. and Global Critical Infrastructure” to detail malicious activity used for the purposes of espionage, sabotage, and reputational harm since at least 2020.
The authoring agencies assess cyber actors affiliated with the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) 161st Specialist Training Center (Unit 29155) are responsible for the malicious activity. The report includes recommended mitigations to improve cybersecurity posture.
“This Cybersecurity Advisory contains comprehensive information about GRU Unit 29155 cyber actors and their cyber activity,” said Dave Luber, NSA’s Cybersecurity Director. “It is important for organizations to use this information and take immediate action to secure data and mitigate any harm caused by these malicious cyber actors.”
According to the CSA, the GRU Unit 29155 Cyber Component is responsible for deploying the destructive WhisperGate malware against Ukrainian victim organizations as early as January 2022. Additionally, Unit 29155 cyber actors have conducted computer network operations against numerous North Atlantic Treaty Organizations (NATO) in Europe and North American, as well as in Latin America and Central Asia. The activity includes destructive cyber campaigns, infrastructure scanning, and data exfiltration, with a primary focus since early 2022 of disrupting aid to Ukraine.
The CSA’s authors recommend taking the following actions today to mitigate malicious cyber activity:
- Prioritize routine system updates and remediate known exploited vulnerabilities.
- Segment networks to prevent the spread of malicious activity.
- Enable phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA) for all externally facing account services, especially for webmail, VPN, and accounts that access critical systems.
Statement by the Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs on U.S. action regarding Russian influence operations
From: Public Safety CanadaStatement
Ottawa, Ontario – September 5, 2024Today, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Public Safety, Democratic Institutions and Intergovernmental Affairs, issued the following statement:
“I commend the United States for its recent decisive actions against individuals allegedly involved in Russian influence operations aimed at undermining democratic processes.
I also condemn in the strongest terms the attempts by Russian state-owned media entity RT to spread disinformation, influence election outcomes, undermine democracy and rules-based international order, and engage in information operations and cyber incidents against Western targets.
Canada has been working in close cooperation with the U.S. and other allies on this serious matter. While we are unable to comment on ongoing investigations, we are united in confronting Russia’s aggression and subversion against democratic societies and we will not hesitate to take any actions necessary to hold Russian threat actors to account.
Any Canadians who illegally assist in Russia’s persistent attempts to use disinformation, criminal and covert activities, and corruption to undermine our sovereignty and democratic processes will face the full force of Canadian law.
The Government of Canada takes the issue of foreign interference seriously. In 2022, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) formally removed RT and RT France from the list of non-Canadian programming services and stations authorized for distribution.
We know that this issue requires a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach and we are committed to standing up to malicious actors who threaten Canada’s economic and national security. Canadians can be confident that Canada's law enforcement and security agencies investigate and respond to potential threats. We will always take the necessary action to keep Canadians and those on Canadian soil safe.”

Joint ODNI, FBI, and CISA Statement on Russian Election Influence Efforts
Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the following statement:“The IC assesses that Russian influence actors manufactured a recent video that falsely depicted individuals claiming to be from Haiti and voting illegally in multiple counties in Georgia. This judgment is based on information available to the IC and prior activities of other Russian influence actors, including videos and other disinformation activities. The Georgia Secretary of State has already refuted the video’s claims as false.
Russian influence actors also manufactured a video falsely accusing an individual associated with the Democratic presidential ticket of taking a bribe from a U.S. entertainer.
This Russian activity is part of Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the U.S. election and stoke divisions among Americans, as detailed in prior ODNI election updates. In the lead up to election day and in the weeks and months after, the IC expects Russia to create and release additional media content that seeks to undermine trust in the integrity of the election and divide Americans.”

Yeah - the cost of living is pretty high. Especially re: taxes on the westcoast - sales / carbon / income / property taxes.
The real estate situation is definitely a mess.
I've mentioned a few times over the years just some general numbers / stats as examples.
I bought a modest place in 2009. Thought I was paying way too much. The assessed value now is essentially 2.5x what I paid for it.
My dad lives in a place which was built in the early-50s and hasn't seen an upgrade or reno in 40+ years. Needs a ton of TLC to modernize it and will probably be a knockdown once the next person or builder buys it & puts up something new and nice. His place is assessed in the low 2 million range just off of property / land.
My childhood home ... parents bought it in the early-80s. Mom sold it in 2001 for just over 300k. The next owner resold it at a loss in 2004 for approx' 197k. The home is now assessed at 1.8 million with the current owners sitting on it the past 20 years with little to no upgrades or renos. I've checked some specs online and driven by the place a few times annually over the years. Looks the same, if not worse, to when I lived there. They removed a number of trees and shrubs and it has less privacy and is more exposed. From 197k to 1.8 million in 20 years is nuts.
