@Aevann I don't know what to do with this one but it sounds like it could be fun for 4 years.

Maybe the Kamala Harris version of The_Donald?

VI. CONCLUSION

On remand from the Supreme Court's decision in Trump, the district court set a litigation schedule whereby the parties would submit briefs regarding whether any material in the superseding indictment was subject to presidential immunity. ECF No. 233. The parties were in the middle of that process when the results of the presidential election made clear that Mr. Trump would be inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20, 2025. As described above, it has long been the Department's interpretation that the Constitution forbids the federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President, but the election results raised for the first time the question of the lawful course when a private citizen who has already been indicted is then elected President. The Department determined that the case must be dismissed without prejudice before Mr. Trump takes office, and the Office therefore moved to dismiss the indictment on November 25, 2024. See ECF No. 281. The district court granted the motion the same day. ECF No. 283.

The Department's view that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a President is categorical and does not tum on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government's proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Office stands fully behind. Indeed, but for Mr. Trump's election and imminent return to the Presidency, the Office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial.

The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobsin December, beating economist's expectations and cementing the fact that President Joe Biden is leaving Donald Trump a strong economy as his term comes to a close.

The report showed unemployment fell to 4.1%, while wage growth rose 0.3% to an average hourly rate of $35.69. Ultimately, wage growth in 2024 rose 3.9%—outpacing the 2.7% inflation rate, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The "economy remains very robust," Harvard economics professor Jason Furman wrote in a post on X. "A variety of indicators show the labor market has stabilized. There doesn't seem to be any pressing reason to change interest rates any time soon."

The report, released by the BLS, is the final full monthly report of Biden's tenure.

It showed that the U.S. had positive job growth every single month Biden was in office. And that average hourly wages today are higher than the $29.92 average hourly rate when Biden took office in January 2021.

Biden touted his success with managing the U.S. economy in a statement, writing:

With today's report of 256,000 new jobs in December, we have created over 16.6 million jobs over the course of my administration and this is the only administration in history to have created jobs every single month. Although I inherited the worst economic crisis in decades with unemployment above 6% when I took office, we've had the lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 years with unemployment at 4.1% as I leave. Although forecasts were projecting it would take years to achieve a full recovery, we have had the strongest growth and employment creation of any advanced country, brought inflation back down, and achieved the soft landing that few thought was possible.

Ultimately, the report will be the benchmark to determine the success of Trump's soon-to-be second term in office.

It's the second time Trump is inheriting a robust economy.

When Trump took office in 2017, he was handed a 4.7% unemploymentrate from President Barack Obama. By the time Trump left office, the unemployment rate jumped to 6.4%, which Biden had to contend with.

Trump, for his part, won a second term in office by trashing the economy and promising to lower the price of goods. However, he has since backtracked on that claim after the election.

"Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard," Trump said in a December interview with Time when discussing the cost of grocery prices.

What's more, while Trump has promised to bring prices down, his policies are expected to do the exact opposite. Experts say Trump's plan to impose sweeping tariffs on all imported goods could cause inflation to skyrocket and send the economy into a tailspin.

Ultimately, we should bookmark this story as Trump's term in office is set to begin to see just how destructive his agenda will be on Americans' jobs and livelihoods.

Section1. Order of Succession. Subject to the provisions of section 2 of this order, and to the limitations set forth in the Act, the following officials of the Department of Justice, in the order listed, shall act as and perform the functions and duties of the office of Attorney General during any period in which the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General, and any officers designated by the Attorney General pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 508 to act as Attorney General have died, resigned, or otherwise become unable to perform the functions and duties of the office of Attorney General, until such time as at least one of the officers mentioned above is able to perform the functions and duties of that office:

(a) United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York;

(b) United States Attorney for the District of Arizona;

(c) United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; and

(d) United States Attorney for the District of Hawaii.

This one changes the order of succession in the DoJ and revokes Trump's version from 2017. It basically says if the AG, DAG, AAG etc are unable to perform their duties for whatever reason, they'll be replaced by the US Attorneys of S. NY, AZ, N. IL and HI. Those attorneys are all from Blue states/appointed by Biden, so nothing to see there, but what's notable is he did this yesterday. (For comparison, Trump did it in March 2017).

So, assuming the orange buffoon will revoke it in 2 weeks (if he gets inaugurated), why would Biden bother changing the order of succession in the DoJ now?

It makes me wonder if he's about to do some 11th-hour firing. What does everyone else think? Is this the work of Dark Brandon?

This is what I believe in. Because otherwise, NOTHING they've been doing makes ANY SENSE whatsoever.

Why give Liz Cheney a medal when that would be one more thing for Donald to feel pissed about. A medal doesn't protect her if he gets into the white house and becomes a dictator, as he promised. If he becomes a dictator, the constitution already means NOTHING...those executive orders won't mean a thing either!

I mean, Biden and Kamala are way smarter than most of us. Their trustworthy team is likely way more intelligent than us. They must know the Constitution and the rule of law will be finished the minute he walks in = America becomes an oligarchy. I mean, come on!

Not only that, but what Liz tweeted to trump after how our country is not the Soviet Union. She added more fuel to the fire.

IKR! This is crazy!

100% either Liz Cheney has balls of steel and is jumping in front of the many bullets headed her way (figuratively & literally - probably), or she isn't worried because maybe she's been told she won't need to worry? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hold on, is this why kamala flew to hawaii before? To meet with the attorney general there?

All the Dems seemed very happy yesterday.

I know, right? You would've thought they won everything. ;)

Kamala Harris is just one heartbeat away from becoming our next president and yet she can’t remember the pledge of allegiance. Perhaps it is because she grew up in Canada and hates America? Perhaps she’s drunk? Perhaps she’s stupid. We may never know.

If Joe Biden really wanted to shake things up, he could drop a political nuke by resigning on January 5th.

Here’s the play: Kamala Harris becomes the 47th President of the United States...

I'll break this down. Biden just used Executive Order 13848 to impose sanctions on Iran and Russia for ELECTION INTERFERENCE in 2024! He KNOWS that Trump CHEATED with the help of Iran, Russia, Musk, and the GOP! Now, we'll have to see what he does NEXT! This isn't OVER!
