I'm suing @JBSFoodsUSA, the world's largest beef producer, for misleading the public about its environmental impact.
The beef industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change, and JBS has falsely advertised its commitment to sustainability and endangered our planet.
— NY AG JAMES @NewYorkStateAG 1 53 PM · Feb 28, 2024 ·
I can’t believe honest lawyers and judges (there still are some, I believe) are just standing around letting people like her absolutely trash the legal profession. Are there no Bar Associations anymore interested in at least SOME ethics?
There are 1,600 scientists who say there is no such thing as “climate change.”
JBS should show the document from these scientists in court.
Litigious James. JBS should stop selling to NY unless they fire James.
None of that mattered. Trump was convicted before the “trial” began. There may be law but there is no justice in NY any longer.
And Ny’ers need to be punished by anyone that can for doing it.

My late father used to tell me that if nobody are meat, there would not be enough land to produce food and we would starve. I don’t believe that, but parents who don’t give meat to their kids need to supply B12 and essential amino acids to them. And the kids might not like the taste.
Good question.
It appears that she’s using NY’s deceptive trade practices law, which it exactly the same type of litigation that has been used against Trump, and earlier against firearm manufacturers in the Sandy Hook and Parkland civil litigation cases.
I guess she’s saying that if any of their products are sold within the state of New York, they would be subject to NY’s law in this area. For James, the good thing is that this is entirely subjective. If she can get a Manhattan jury to consider the case on a climate change argument, she figures she can win. She’s probably right.
This is incredibly dangerous.
JBS should stop doing business in NY on the grounds of a hostile business climate.
Campaign Finance: Letitia James (expenditures)

When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I really wasn’t expecting to find much. As you probably know, James is the Attorney General of New York who just secured a $454 million judgement against Donald Trump.
James was elected as the NY AG in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Prior to that James was the NYC “public advocate” for 4 years and a NYC city council member for 8 years prior to that. Prior to elected office she was a public defender for Legal Aid.
IOW Letitia James is a lifelong public servant and other than a mishap in the 2010s where she neglected to list the Brooklyn brownstone she owns & rents out on her financial disclosure forms, she hasn’t had any public scandals.
With that being said, I’m not quite sure what I was expecting to find but I do know I wasn’t expecting what I found.
The first thing you’ll notice when you download and sort the expenditures of any politician running for reelection in a safe seat is how they use their campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles to a degree middle America could never dream of.
What do I mean? Well, in 2023 alone, James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over $15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico.

Sometime people who go after others usually are the ones committing the crime.
threadreaderapp.com——Letitia has quite a life style for an elected “public servant....
elected pols use campaign funds to finance lifestyles middle America never even dreams of.
<><>In 2023 alone, Letitia James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over $15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico.
<><>there’s airfare, 5 years as AG, over $84,000 on airfare; includes private jet rentals.
<><>She’s billed her campaign over $20,000/year for meals (no large catering events).
<><>$18 at Dunkin, $60 at Dave & Busters, $165 at a Mass oyster bar, $700 at a Bklyn steakhouse.
<><>there’s thousands spent on Ubers and Lyfts.
<><>Tens of thousands spent on “office” at everywhere from Target to BJ’s wholesale.
<><>Over $7,000 dropped at a nightclub in NYC and billed as “office.”......
<><>the multiple stays at the Beverly Hills Wilshire.
Is this legal - to spend campaign $ entertaining yourself?
Speaking of campaign consultants, why would a state Attorney General need to spend over $300,000 in a single year on campaign consultants when they *just* won re-election the previous November?
<><>What could she possibly be consulting on?
<><>why do these million dollar “campaign consultancy firms” all seem to be in random 2 bedroom apartments?
And no, I’m not accusing Ms. James of breaking the law w her expenditures.
But considering the high bar she set for Trump in his civil fraud case, I find it more than a little galling that she plays so fast and loose w what she deems to be “legitimate campaign expenses.
$4,335 at “Nathan’s Luxlifestyle” on Martha’s Vineyard last August? Mmm hmm. $5,122 dropped at the “48 Lounge” in NYC last September under expense code “office.” Righhhtttt….
So you might be wondering, where does all this money Letitis’s spending come from? Well here’s where things get interesting.
Because it appears our holier than thou Attorney General, Ms. James, has gotten herself wrapped up in the ghost donor scam.
Now I knew the ghost donor bots weren’t just operating at the federal level but I had no clue how big it was at the state level.
Here’s a list of Ms. James’ total donations and their corresponding receipts by year… anything jump out at you?
Obviously 2022 is off the charts. Over 32,500 receipts and over 62% are from out of state. Who the heck donates to an Attorney General, running in a totally safe seat, in a whole other state?!
Answer: Ghost donors. Take for instance this woman named Suzanne, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Ms. Suzanne has to be one of the most faithful Democrat donors on the planet. Not only did she make 3,232 individual donations to ActBlue in just one year (2022) totaling more than $46,193
But she also found the time and money to also make 25 separate donations (for $266) to Letitia James’ campaign and another 9 (for $305) to Kathy Hochul!
And she didn’t stop there! I found Suzanne’s name on the donor rolls in Nevada, Idaho and Virginia!
Or how about this lovely old lady Barbara from Silver Springs, Maryland. Ms. Barbara, a retired 71 year old widow living in a modest townhouse, not only made 1547 donations to ActBlue at the federal level totaling more than $37,000
She also gave Letitia James $610 total in 34 separate transactions and then she sprinkled some money in Nevada, Massachusetts and Wisconsin!
I could go on but you get the point. Almost every name I grabbed from James’ 2022 donor list had AT LEAST 200+ donations at the fed level for 2022 and tons of them had over 2,000.
I’ve encountered people who think that everything that happens, even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, is caused by man-made ‘Climate Change’.
Yep. They had better start building new facilities in West Virginia. Martinsburg is next to I-81 and leads to major cities.

RE: Kurt Vonnegut
Breakfast of Champions had a controversial satire of the US that came after the white sea pirates used black people in place of machines.
I’m using the censored version from one review:
“Actually, the sea pirates who had the most to do with the creation of the new government owned human slaves. They used human beings for machinery, and even after slavery was eliminated, because it was so embarrassing, they and their descendants continued to think of ordinary human beings as machines.”
“Nobody white had much use for them anymore – except for the gangsters who sold them used cars and dope and furniture. Still, they went on reproducing.....and a lot of them had very bad dispositions.”
RE:As I’ve said before, I don’t know why anyone one does business in NY.
As mothers of small children say to the kids in the fast food restaurants during a car trip” “Just do your business and then let’s go.”
I’d bet that Letitia emits more methane than any cattle ranch in the country….
“raising cattle is inherently bad for the environment”
The percentage of methane in the atmosphere is 0.0001% It’s NOTHING. The thought that cattle is “bad for the environment” is utter, complete, total BS! But of course leftists today are self appointed experts in this area so we should all listen to them even if it destroys the economy.
This megalomaniac James needs to be slapped down. Hard.
