@athairmor@lemmy.world is right; presidents cannot pardon state level crimes: https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S2-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013316/
Specifically, the offense must be “against the United States”, and state level offenses are only against the respective state, not the United States.
My first thought is that this entire article reads like a camouflaged press release from Meta.
The source for the article seems to be an anonymous, internal leak, but those “leaks” are often from the company itself as a way to send a message while maintaining plausible deniability.
My second thought is that they are grouping together wildly different types of infractions without saying how many people were guilty of each one. It’s possible that one person was committing outright fraud while everyone else was just accused of a minor technicality.
Finally, the accusation of “pooling” funds seems like a big tell. That’s what you should want the employees to do to save the company money. Without specific details about why that was wrong this sounds more like a gotcha than a legitimate reason to fire someone.
All of these together make this article seem like a way of scaring employees into resigning so they can cut the workforce without being subject to WARN act requirements.
Joe Biden ‘discussing’ possible Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities
Casually discussing committing war crimes... civilian energy infrastructure is not a valid military target.
Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?
Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.
No, they wouldn’t.
They would exist outside of our universe (since they created the universe), so the rules of physics in our universe don’t apply to them.
Even if the reality they existed in had something equivalent to atoms, it would be inaccurate to call those “atoms” since they are in different realities.
I largely agree, especially in the case of Amazon which is notorious for worker rights violations.
That’s why I described it as “as much as Bezos did” rather than in absolute terms.
On top of that, she was heavily involved in Amazon from its inception.
She earned her money just as much as Bezos did.
Age is only a protected class if you are 40 or older.
Only the federal government can determine whether or not the immigration is illegal.
For example, seeking asylum is legal immigration and there is no requirement for an asylum seeker to cross at an official port of entry.
Only the federal government has the right to evaluate asylum applications, so by trying to bypass the federal government, this law is effectively an attempt by the state government to deny people the right to seek asylum.
It only applies if he took an oath to uphold the constitution prior to committing the treason.
I.E. government officials and ex military personnel who took place in the Jan 6 riots would be disqualified, but not every random yahoo that was there.
EDIT: Others have pointed out that he is ex-military, so it looks like the 14th amendment does apply to him after all.
The production cycle for animation is ridiculously long and writing is at the very beginning of it. It’s possible that all the writing was done long before the strike started.
The Michigan Uncommitted movement isn’t why Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Georgia, and Nevada, nor why he won the popular vote by almost 4 million votes.
Every single third party vote could be given to Harris and Trump would still win.
No one claiming the uncommitted voters cost Harris the election actually has evidence to back that up.
Instead, they’re just using the election as an excuse to push the racism and bigotry that they wanted to push regardless of how the election turned out.
