I normally wouldn't comment on this kind of stuff, but this quote from currently erstwhile Sydney shock jock and consistently all-round piece of shit Kyle Sandilands is just too precious.
"I just want to get back to work. I’ve got a family, I’ve got mortgages to pay, like everyone else."
Mortgage*s* to pay. Note the plural.
The man is on a cool 7+ million base salary just for being a dickhead on radio. Several advertising and licensing deals put him considerably north of 10. If I was on that kind of money, I wouldn't take out fucking mortgages - I'd pay cash.
"I have mortgage*s* to pay, like everyone else." I suppose being this far out of touch comes with the territory when you're worth hundreds of millions. Sure, everyone owns a bunch of investment properties that they're trying to wring maximum profit out of, at the cost of everyone else.
Fucking piece of shit.

@AtanasE In contrast my weather app says no rain, it also says "Did you see that the sun is out? I'm guessing you didn't, because I didn't get a fucking thank you card yet"
I for one welcome my new foul mouthed AI overlord.
US Administration: We're having great and productive talks with the Iranian leadership.
Iranian leadership: lol, wut?
The common response to this is that one or both parties are lying.
My personal headcannon is that the US Admin got taken in by a 419 (Nigerian prince) scam.
"Hello Glorious President,
I a diplomat of the current Iranian regime. We would like to bow to your magnificence, surrender completely, and provide you with complete control of the Iran and billions of US dollers. Unfortunately to do this we will have to file a small "surrender" fee of 100 million US dollars. ....."
I wish companies took security as seriously as Levis takes status updates.
THEY DO NOT PLAY
If you tell Levis that you want order status updates then you are going known exactly what is going on at all times. They aren't obnoxious about it, but they aren't far away from the line either.
While I appreciate the sponsorships, I think it's worthwhile to also appreciate the irony that the conference is focused on addressing the problems some of these very large sponsors have helped create in the first place
So, finally about that 97-page brief that kicks off the appeal. It was filed by political appointees and not the career lawyers who would normally work at this level. (The same appointees who seemed fine with dismissal on last Monday.) That might account for the tone which is more "judges bad" and less "judges make mistakes."
My summary: "My Executive Orders always begin with a declaration of my personal animus behind this retaliation because I am governed by that and not the law. The courts are clearly wrong because you are not the boss of me. I can too revoke security clearances for this reason, because I'm pretty sure you told me so. Also, if I sic the DOJ on specific individuals I hate, that's not retaliation, that's just the DOJ doing law things. And it's unfair for the judges to stop me from kicking these bad, bad law firms out of court rooms and signed contracts because I didn't do that yet — just a written, signed order to do so. And if it helps to rule in my favor, you can ignore the part where I confessed this is all retaliation for political reasons and my hurt feelings."

Regarding the security clearance revocation, we have only the #DOJ brief, but it reads a bit more seriously than the rest. #snark #ExecutiveOrder #LawFirms #PerkinsCoie #JennerBlock #WilmerHale #WilmerCutler #SusmanGodfrey #Trump
