In It to Win It's JournalCoke, American Air, MGM: Big companies unleash pink slips as coronavirus reshapes global economy
As Congress and the White House are locked in a stalemate over a fresh round of economic stimulus — which includes a highly coveted $600 unemployment bonus that’s helped prop up consumer spending — a range of big companies are moving to shave headcount.

A phony economy attended the Republican convention
Trump-Pence: Remarkable
This is the version of economic history you heard if you tuned into the Republican convention this week. President Trump and many other speakers assailed the dark ages of the Obama-Biden administration, when nobody had a job and children were starving everywhere. Then Trump became president and everybody got rich. Would voters really want to give Joe Biden, now Trump’s Democratic opponent in the presidential race, another chance to bankrupt everybody?
This fanciful narrative is supposed to make voters think there have been major differences between the Obama and the Trump economies. In reality, trends underway during Obama’s second term largely continued during Trump’s first three years.

Florida Supreme Court says DeSantis exceeded his authority in naming new justice
In a 5-0 ruling, the court agreed with Democratic state Rep. Geraldine Thompson, who filed the lawsuit claiming that the governor’s appointment of Francis in May was unlawful because Francis had not been a member of The Florida Bar for 10 years as required by the Florida Constitution.
“In a nutshell, when a governor fills by appointment a vacant judicial office, the appointee must be constitutionally eligible for that office at the time of the appointment,’’ wrote Justice Carlos G. Muñiz, himself a DeSantis appointee to the court, who authored the opinion.

How exactly do they get away with bashing government and praising government AT THE SAME TIME???

BUT COPS ARE AMAZING! We're for law and order! There should be more cops!
Law and Order my ass!
When they’re not in power, elect them to restore law and order.
When they’re in power, re-elect them to restore law and order.
When they’re in power, re-elect them to prevent the disorder that took place while they had power.
Re-elect them to prevent the very “riots” that happened while they had power.
Re-elect them to prevent the crime and shootings that has risen while they had power.
Law and order my ass!
