A rundown of Trump’s worst offenses:

Refused to release tax returns
Accepted emoluments in violation of the Constitution (we sued)
Hired daughter and son-in-law, costing lives
Put a “Muslim ban” in place, that mysteriously left out countries where Trump did business
Overt racism: see “shithole countries,” “why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” “law and order”
Made more than $13 million from special interests hosting events at Trump properties
Hired more former lobbyists than any president before him (that we know of)
Tried to host the G-7 at his resort
Separated families at the border, made no records to reunite them
Sent millions of taxpayer dollars to Trump properties (all those golf cart rentals don't come cheap)
Lied about Secret Service preferences to funnel even more $$$ to his businesses
Paid more than $2 million in damages for illegally using Trump Foundation charitable funds for political purposes
Apparently violated up to eight campaign finance laws by instructing Michael Cohen to make hush money payments to Stormy Daniels
Demonized the press
Installed his crony/fundraiser Louis DeJoy at USPS
Oversaw disastrous and deadly response to coronavirus, full of potential conflicts of interest
Continued to receive foreign trademarks while in office (same with Ivanka Trump)
Refused to concede his defeat in the 2020 election
IMPEACHED TWICE (once for withholding aid to Ukraine in an attempt to win an election, once for inciting an insurrection)
Fired inspectors general, impeachment witnesses and US attorneys
Pardoned Roger Stone, Duncan Hunter, Blackwater Guards and Charles Kushner
Campaign staff apparently committed criminal offenses (his inaugural committee and family are still under investigation)
Embraced authoritarian leaders, especially Vladimir Putin (and destroyed notes of his meeting with Putin)
There's a lot that still demands accountability. So, no, we are not quite ready to "move on" for the sake of unity.

More from Trump

OK, #Squidigation fans, I think we need to talk about the new Wisconsin suit Donald Trump filed - personally - in Federal Court last night. The suit is (as usual) meritless. But it's meritless in new and disturbing ways. This thread will be


Not, I hope, Seth Abramson long. But will see.

I apologize in advance to my wife, who would very much prefer I be billing time (today's a light day, though) and to my assistant, to whom I owe some administrative stuff this will likely keep me from 😃

First, some background. Trump's suit essentially tries to Federalize the Wisconsin Supreme Court complaint his campaign filed, which we discussed here.


If you haven't already, go read that thread. I'm not going to be re-doing the same analysis, and I'm not going to be cross-linking to that discussion as we go. (Sorry, I like you guys, and I see this as public service, but there are limits)

Also, @5DollarFeminist has a good stand-alone thread analyzing the new Federal complaint - it's worth reading as well, though some of the analysis will overlap.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
