Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Highly unusual list includes 533 businesses and trade organisations

Donald Trump has drawn up a scorecard for corporate America, ranking companies based on their loyalty to his administration.

The highly unusual list ranks 533 businesses and trade organisations based on their efforts to champion the US president’s “one big beautiful bill”, according to reports.

Companies that have fared well deployed a variety of tactics – often trumpeting the benefits of an individual policy, such as Uber’s celebration of Mr Trump’s “no tax on tips” proposal.

The scorecard, which Axios said will aid decision-making on corporate requests, comes as part of Mr Trump’s “America First” agenda and protectionist policies.

Of course this guy has an enemies list. That comes in the fascist starter pack.

Its obvious. Trump hires women based on looks and men based on butt sniffing loyalty. Period.

Mr Trump has signed an executive order requiring banks not to discriminate against clients on political ground

.. while also releasing a list of his support for companies ranked on political grounds ..

I'm beginning to suspect this Trump fella might not be on the up and up 🤔

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 4 minutes ago

I mean surely the whole article is just a typo and the writer is confused? They can't possibly mean Donald Trump, the failed businessman, failed casino owner, failed university operator and best friend of convicted paedophile Jeffery Epstein is corrupt?!

We really taught him a lesson about quid pro quo, didn't we? As in, he won't ever get in trouble using influence to get anything he wants.

Biden hiring Merrick Garland as AG is probably the thing that ended up putting the final nail in the coffin that was American Democracy. There were literally 100s of crimes to choose from and he just slow walked prosecution on any of them. Still not sure if that's because of cowardice or just loyalty to the Republican party on his part.

Susan Collins sure schooled him

Release the Trump/Epstein files

How is it that companies won't sue the government after finding out about this list.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Anyone get the list? I don't want to pay for a list of pay-to-wins

[–] Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 hours ago

Sadly I don't but would also like to see it if it is available.

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 16 points 5 hours ago

Let me fix that for you:
The scorecard, which Axios said will aid decision-making ~~on corporate requests~~ by all Americans who wish to avoid the boot lickers

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago

And then, all of a sudden, fairness was achieved because Trump sorted by Column B only.
