成本很低的增加美国白人就业机会的方法,不就是把外国移民都干掉/吓走/关在门外吗?

肯定有很多人怨恨她失败了,让自己失望了,更暴露了美国整体的丑陋。在很多事情尤其是政治方面,自己永远是好人,错都在别人,反省自己就别指望了。所以每一个政客的最大本事就是要拍人民的马屁,把人民哄得心花怒放自尊大涨,你最好,你没错,坏人都是。。。那边的。笑嘻嘻 wrote:为什么呀?

北京——中国已初步批准特朗普总统注册27个新商标,涉及餐厅和广告在内的行业,这些商业利益可能会招致更多关于存在潜在冲突的指责。
中国已是他商业前景最大的目标之一。包括最近这批商标在内,他的公司自2005年以来已在中国申请了至少126个商标,涉及餐厅、酒吧、酒店、经纪业务、广告和管理咨询。
这批新商标获得批准的时机可能会给特朗普造成不好的看法,因为它们和他上台的时间离得太近了。
2月,中国政府宣布授予特朗普在建筑项目领域保护特朗普品牌的权利。在那之前,双方打了10年的官司。但就在特朗普与中国国家主席习近平的通话中放弃质疑中国对台政策的几天后,中国便宣布批准了该商标。
接着便是大量商标获批。中国商标局的网站显示,该机构在2月27日和周一初步批准了27个新商标。
最近这批名为“唐纳·川普”的商标起初获准用于高尔夫俱乐部、保险服务、育儿中心和养老院等等类别。如果商标局没收到反对意见,它们将在三个月后正式获得注册。美联社早前报道过这些商标。
马修·德累斯顿(Matthew Dresden)是西雅图哈里斯-布里肯律师事务所(Harris Bricken)专攻中国知识产权法的律师,他说,“一次批准”所有这些商标不符合常规做法。

同一研究,从专业角度看的报道:In a new study on gender and ethics, researchers found women receive harsher punishments than men for ethical violations at work.

这个数据经常被用来鼓吹支持把资助穷困地区的钱交给/借给妇女发展商业,言下之意是女人比较不自私。Maybe that is true ... or a self-fulfilling expectation ... or social pressure, ie, brain washing.Girls and Women spend 90% of their earned income on their families , while men spend only 30-40%.
再来一点阳光!我现在也每晚在msnbc.com上面看maddow的节目(工作日每晚西岸时间九点后就上线了),她确实把川皇和俄国的故事讲得跟侦探小说似的。赞!能打败狐狸台,太好了!Judge Smith dissented, believing that the case is moot. But he reserved his sharpest words for the U.S. Department of Justice’s intervention in this case:
And then there is the United States, appearing through attorneys from the Department of Justice. I have no criticism of their knowledge of the law, and their zeal is, to say the least, more than adequate. But they entered these proceedings with arrogance and condescension. One of the Department’s lawyers even exhibited her contempt for Texas and its representatives and her disdain for these proceedings by regularly rolling her eyes at State witnesses’ answers that she did not like, and she amused herself by chewing gum while court was in session.
It was obvious, from the start, that the DoJ attorneys viewed state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings. And the DoJ lawyers saw themselves as an expeditionary landing party arriving here, just in time, to rescue the state from oppression, obviously presuming that plaintiffs’ counsel were not up to the task. The Department of Justice moreover views Texas redistricting litigation as the potential grand prize and lusts for the day when it can reimpose preclearance via Section 3(c).

对,都是总统选的,拒绝辞职没出路。唯一区别是“辞职”和被“解雇”。 高调拒绝辞职的Preet Bharara刚刚被解雇了。vivi wrote:US attorneys都是总统/司法部长选的吗?拒绝辞职的有什么出路?
Here's some transparent projection. 这些人一点不傻,自己是什么玩意儿,心里比谁都清楚,要不然怎么会又疑心又暴怒别人都在讥笑自己呢?都摊开承认吧,我就是 backwoods hayeseed bigots 你能拿我怎样?别装了。此法官对女律师大怒,显然因为他觉得她是个 uppity bitch. Uppity 这个词是很有趣的。DoJ attorneys viewed state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings.
上面我引的那篇纽约客文章就有提这个。还说Billions里面 Giamatti的SM情节什么的,让Bharara的同事很惊诧他这么爱惜羽毛的人怎么允许这种毁形象的事情发生。Jun wrote:忘记在哪儿看到,Bharara 是电视剧 Billions 里面 Paul Giamatti 演的主角的原型来着。

入职前在白宫被面试也敢开玩笑Once, Bharara opened a speaking engagement before a roomful of financial traders by saying, “I just want to apologize in advance that I don’t have enough subpoenas for all of you.” As the audience broke out in laughter, he said, “I’m just kidding.” Pause. “I do have enough.”
下午纽约时报记者刚刚爆料周四白宫川普手下主动打电话联系Bharara,叫他回电话。他不仅没回,还通知司法部Sessions的办公室有这回事,而且不合规矩。周五就闹出46个US Atterney都被解雇的Friday massacre...真是没法不让人想入非非啊!When Bharara was interviewed at the White House for the U.S. Attorney’s job, he was asked if he had been born in India. Yes, Bharara replied. But was he a citizen of the United States? “Damn,” Bharara said. “You’ve got to be a citizen for this job?”

这文章让我想起几年前听过的一篇freshair:Joseph Kennedy, 'Patriarch' Of An American Dynasty, 讲JFK老爹的历史。当时印象特别深的是二战结束后Joseph Kennedy对丘吉尔说的一句话:“what good did it do [referring to US entering the war]? now we have Stalin instead of Hitler? Both are threatening capitalism. One is no better than the other.”It was 2001, just weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, and Mr. Putin pledged solidarity with America while also sketching a vision of Russia’s European destiny. He was the first Russian leader to address the German Parliament, and lawmakers jumped to their feet, applauding, as many deputies marveled that he could speak their language so well.
Except for Angela Merkel, then the relatively untested leader of the opposition. She joined the standing ovation but turned to say something to a lawmaker who had grown up in the formerly Communist East, as she had. She knew how Mr. Putin’s German had gotten so good.
“Thanks to the Stasi,” Ms. Merkel said, a reference to the East German secret police Mr. Putin had worked alongside when he was a young K.G.B. officer in Dresden.
