he had done at least four other contracts with Achter via text. He said the only difference this time was Achter responded with a “thumbs-up” emoji instead of “ok”, “yup” or “looks good.”
I think this precedent set between the two parties is relevant, giving an otherwise casual text message a little more authority. Not that one word text responses are how you should enter a contract, but it’s what they had already been doing.
My biggest complaint about Democrats has always been their lack of balls, and weird cultish insistence that they always take the “high road” and try to work with Republicans in good faith.
According to the city’s lawsuit, “So-called ‘ghost guns’ – home-assembled, unserialized, and untraceable firearms that are sold and purchased without regard to firearm regulations – have become the weapon of choice for those seeking to evade firearm laws. Unsurprisingly, the number of ghost guns recovered at crime scenes has skyrocketed in recent years.”
I like how the interviewee remarked on his concerns for the younger union members.
I imagine the Teamsters are too large and too savvy to go for a new contract that creates a two-tier system of new members with a crappier package than senior members. They should know that would be a death spiral for union membership.
The Espionage Act was passed by Congress in 1917, two months after the US entered World War One. The law broadly criminalises the mishandling of government records “relating to the national defense” of the US. It is not strictly used to punish spies seeking to harm the US and in recent years has more often been used to punish whistle-blowers who expose government secrets to journalists. Mr Trump, whose presidency ended on 20 January 2020, was not allowed to hold or possess classified documents as a private citizen, much less in an unauthorised place, after leaving office. But prosecutors say he held on to hundreds of pages of sensitive information one year later at two of his resorts - even after he was asked repeatedly to hand everything over to the National Archives.
He may not be a “spy” but he’s still sharing / selling government secrets to their enemies
