That’s probably the exact reason, they didn’t SAY they wanted bribes on the record, but made a gesture of rubbing their fingers and thumb together and the Japanese delegation ignored or misinterpreted it

Hey, it’s not always like that. Now they can also report the victims to ICE, which makes the problem go away much faster.

Gotta make the line go up.

frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.ioto News@lemmy.world•Trump Laid Off Nearly All the Federal Workers Who Investigate Firefighter Deaths3·12 hours agoI’m sure DOGE is happily recording this in the ledger as a net gain for them, because people’s lives have no value in their books.

You’d have zero guarantee that it would still exist in 9 months, and they might even claw back any payments you do receive!

Where’s the accounting of costs for this one time event? I don’t see how it would reach $240 million, and if it does, we need to fix that so we spend the bare minimum for the swearing in of a single public official.
Is it irony that Robinhood donated $2 million to this event, presumably harvested from far, far poorer people?

You better believe any cop out there would confiscate that shit from any of us faster than you can say civil asset forfeiture.

Might be a good place to point out the ongoing health issues in first responders, again, because I don’t think they’ve funded their care yet (or maybe just canceled it like everything else that helps people).
