this capitulation is just bloody awful, disgraceful bending over for Trump Trump cancels executive order against law firm after $40m promise - BBC News
Trump's order last week had cancelled contracts with the firms citing Trump's orders to wipe out any initiatives aimed at Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) within the federal government.
The Truth Social post also included a statement from Mr Karp, who said: "We are gratified that the President has agreed to withdraw the Executive Order concerning Paul, Weiss. We look forward to an engaged and constructive relationship with the President and his Administration."
Many in the legal community have expressed outrage over the deal, which one lawyer said was a "sad day for the legal industry".
Marc Elias, a former Perkins Coie partner and a top lawyer for Democrats, assailed the agreement in a post on social media platform Bluesky.
"Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation," he wrote. "This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession."
Soon after Trump made the announcement, Rachel Cohen, an associate at the Skadden Arps legal firm, resigned in a blistering company-wide email condemning the agreement.
everyone is petrified of that ***t

Comic Creator RE Burke: Her Visa Story
Historically I absolutely love the USA. I’ve always enjoyed visiting and have had family in various parts of the country all my life.
The idea of passing up a chance to visit is pretty much anathema but I don’t think I can go back until it changes.
Apart from anything else - I’ve had some robust conversations re Trump on WhatsApp. A random check including confiscation of phone could probably land me in hot water. Not a risk worth taking in the current climate, and that’s a white man saying that.
I wonder how many of their industries are currently being savaged by the actions of this regime? Tourism? Defence? Motor manufacture?
I have never felt the desire to go to the USA, I now feel I’m missing out on letting The Tangoed One know how I feel. I’m just not going to go even more than I did before. That will teach himQuote:

Once they get away with one despicable policy, they'll move on to the next like boiling frogs in an ever expanding move towards total control. Thus far I see no real resistance.Quote:

I'd rather see us distancing ourselves in every way possible. Reciprocate treatment of innocent US citizens would make us as bad as them and only give credibility to Trump's claims that everyone is against them. Like Brexiteers, MAGA cult members would see mistreatment of Americans living abroad as acceptable collateral damage.Quote:

I'm 100% of the belief that they're a shower of imbeciles who don't have a clue what they're doing and that this is the sort of thing that happens when loyalty and compliance are rewarded over competence and smarts.
And also - that we better get used to it.
That's where I'm at. There is no way this isn't a calculated move. Whoever started the group chat has selected the journalist and taken the time to do so.Quote:

Trump's whole image centres on being the one who decides what happens, who sees himself as untouchable no matter what.
He doesn't need to accidently leak anything, he can say it out loud and idiots lap it up.
These are incompetents, there's no doubt about it imho.

They are so incompetent it wouldn't be a shock if it was an error. On the other hand doing it deliberately while pretending it was a mistake seems exactly the kind of thing a moron would do and think was clever.
They are now claiming it wasn’t classified which gives the journalist free rein to publish the lot. Not smart.

Seems like a terrific foreign policy idea to tell the "enemy" in unclassified form what you are going to to to them and when and at the same time let would be hostile groups have the names of the decision makers as well.Quote:

The relationship we had/have with the US needs put on ice until the adults take control again.
Like Ross and Racheal in Friends - ironically a very popular US export - we need a break.
Something is happening with these tariff policies, he's either trying to crash the economy on purpose - maybe the interest he is due on his loans is up for renewal. I can't help but think there are some very wealthy people in America who are betting on this happening and when it does they will make fortunes. Big Short style.
Crash economy = widespread rioting = marshall law = Trump is King forever?
The other alternative is he really is just insane and doesn't know what tariffs actually mean for ordinary people - not that he'd give a **** if he did know.
9 weeks of Trumps presidency and already it has been more mental than the collective whole of his first term.
If Krasnov has had instructions to collapse The West, I'm sure Reeves can prevent this happening by making statements.Quote:

Greenland is extremely vulnerable right now and thinks Greenlanders will want to partner with the US despite opinion polls showing widespread opposition from the local population to US governance.
