Sounds about right. Rich people don’t get rich by giving away hand outs. They get rich by being assholes.

Spend every day having a press announcement? What’s that going to do when they already decided they weren’t going to give it to him. He had other responsibilities too you know.

Expand ing the court won’t do anything if the senate won’t confirm your nominations.

A court case saying it’s their duty? That doesn’t make sense. The constitution doesn’t say they have to accept his pick. That’s the whole point of checks and balances, right?

Push a case that threatened national security? Are you high? That doesn’t sound like anything a responsible president would do.

Constitution says they have to be confirmed by the senate. He can’t just tell someone to go sit in the empty seat. That’s not how it works. Again, are you high?

While Obama might have been beholden to corporate interests, I think you’re just plain wrong on this one buddy.

Didn’t fight hard for his pick? What did you expect him to do? Go in there and start punching people? The senate has to confirm his pick and republicans were/are notorious for blocking anything a democrat president tries to do.

Of course that’s what the article is saying.

“Bluesky users are roasting Elon Musk for his freshly exposed blue-checked bot army of fake Xitheads.”

“Fast forward a year and it appears Xitter, the steaming remains of Twitter, is using bots to generate Tweets and look bigger.”

“After facing criticism from both fans and politicians for its failed handling of Taylor Swift ticket sales, Live Nation Entertainment announced a "Fair Ticketing Act" proposal in February that would try to combat bots and ticket scalpers in the resale market. Nothing yet appears to have come from this proposal.”

No shit. What incentive do they actually have to make changes when the current system makes them more money?
