After joining in on that McCarthyist "condemnation of socialism" nonsense, Jeffries is the last guy I'd trust to have a spine on this.
Biff is not merely "doing a terrible job"; he's attempting to annihilate constitutional governance step by step.

Starting a war without an apparent ounce of info going to Congress first would seem to be a fully impeachable offense, yes.

AFAIK, Moscow had some serious and strategic interests in Venezuela, so they might've been taken by surprise by this just as much as anyone else.
That doesn’t mean they won't negotiate over the spoils if Caracas falls, though.

I have relatives in Georgia. I never liked 70's-era Dr. Pepper due to its pruny-esque flavor, but Mr. Pibb was something I started actually *looking for* up here in Chicagoland.
And now a zero-sugar version exists. Cazart!

The unfortunate fact is that out of all of the "let's make this lousy marketing project trend!" sodas of the era - Coke II, Like, Pepsi Clear, what have you - this is the one whose unspeakable vileness makes me wish that it'll never resurface.
Luckily, Mr. Pibb is being marketed nationally again.
