"Nothing good happens when you bend the rules for Trump. We saw that play out, again, in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday.

It’s time for the courts to show that they are up to the task of treating Trump like they would treat anyone else."

Once again this whole transaction stinks. Privatization doesn't save money and usually results in less service. Staples likely demanded higher transaction fees AND the right to monetize Service Ontario traffic by being able to market to anyone who uses the service. Staples probably put a flashy colourful slideshow together and "gee golly" .....

Ford is selling Ontario, a little bit at a time, and doesn't have a clue about the impact.

Q: It was reported today that Ford will spend taxpayer dollars to retrofit Staples stores. How much will be spent? What expenses will qualify? Who will oversee these costs?

Q: Will Staples be required to separate and secure Service Ontario data from their corporate systems?

Q: Will this contract be made public? A privatization of government services of this importance should be scrutinized down to the last detail.

Q: Will Staples employees have access to private data?

From Xitter from Eric_OTooleMP:

BREAKING: John Lederer, Executive Chairman of Staples donated money to Ford's Leadership Campaign and to the PCPO to help get Ford elected.

Now, his company gets an exclusive deal to take over Service Ontario Locations.

The absolute gall of this question. A required question, mind you.

I will likely not be getting called in for an interview, but it was totally worth it.

They hate her so much. Why?

Donations aren't what they seem

@RickiTarr @mimrma I wish I knew the original artist of this:

Excuse me, pope, sir, I've got mary on line 2

If you’re wondering what stage of capitalism we’re at, it’s the “Child Labor is a Good Thing Actually” stage.

Help I can't stop. I need to sleep.

The Trump Doctrine:

Unless there are 67 votes in the Senate to convict, the president can commit as many crimes as he wants, with ZERO consequences EVER.

2024 may be the last election in American history.

So Donald Trump's legal position is that he can send Seal Team 6 to slaughter his political opponents -- and EVEN AFTER LEAVING OFFICE -- the only possible legal consequence for him is to be impeached and convicted by Congress.

Yes, that is literally what they just argued today.

"The time of my revenge is at hand! Cry bitch! Cry! AHAHAAHAHAHAHA!"

Saw the girl from a few weeks ago (her boss was making her clock out when it's slow, which is illegal!) and found out that she's now working at another place, getting paid for all her hours properly by them and her case is still working its way through the system.

She's pretty confident that she's going to get her money by summer.

Huzzah for workers!

US politicians who call their nation “the last best hope of earth” need to get out more.

Tell me you’re not a #StarTrek fan without telling me you’re not a Star Trek fan. 🤦‍♂️
