Remember last year when Trump made a huge stinky fart about never signing another budget without his border money? Lol.

I won't believe it until the bill is signed.

How One Company Is Making Millions Off Trump’s War on the Poor

quote:

Maximus grew fast. It developed welfare-to-work programs, from hiring caseworkers to designing metrics to assess those workers and get them paid. It devised ways of managing child support enforcement, consulted with governments on cost-cutting measures, and dipped its toe into prison services. It ran contracts in Africa and Latin America and for the World Bank and the US Agency for International Development, and it oversaw workforce programs in Israel and Australia. Mastran built on the lesson he’d learned in the Nixon administration—that programs claiming to reduce fraud were an easy sell across the political spectrum. “We got more business from the Democrats” than the Republicans, says Mastran, who now runs an educational software company in Nashville. A decade after welfare reform was first rolled out, Maximus had annual revenue of $701 million.

The last decade has been even better to Maximus. The Affordable Care Act—particularly the complex eligibility rules for subsidies that Republicans demanded—created a rich new market. Last summer, Mother Jones requested the company’s contracts from the federal government, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and New York City. Of those 53 governments, 44 provided a total of 180 contracts—and 392 amendments and renewals—under which Maximus or its subsidiaries had worked since 2008.

i think the key here is that he can't feasibly go to mar-a-lago and gently caress off for three weeks unless he signs something and he reliably acts in the interest of letting himself be as lazy as possible

vvv judicial supervision of the dissolution, which will also be closely watched by the NY AG, will make that impossible

"The smallest, a $7 foundation gift to the Boy Scouts that same year, appeared to benefit Trump’s family. It matched the amount required to enroll a boy in the Scouts the year that his son Donald Trump Jr. was 11."

this is hilarious, it feels like it'd be so infinitely much more work to run a scam to illegally transfer 7 dollars than it would be to just pay 7 dollars.

Some of the FOX news crowd really, honest-to-God believe that antifa are some sort of street gang, just taking time off from doing the drugs to be dicks to good conservative people. FOX really wrote that hypermyth well, it plays right into the perpetual persecution complex.

I doubt he understands why though. I bet people have just said "you can't go to Florida" and let him assume he literally cannot go by not adding "because it would look loving awful" because they know he wouldn't care about that.
