Walmart/China: That'll be $100.
Me: You know, I always spend my money here, but you never spend any money at my store. That's a trade deficit. I'm gonna levy a 20% tariff on you!

It doesn't use any sources apart from the Bible, which are improperly formatted and not cited at all. The entire thing is opinion, so yes, she failed because of her beliefs because her beliefs were not the assignment.

Can a President unilaterally close air space over a soveriegn country?
Is he threatening to blow up commercial flights like he has been fishing boats? Because he can?
One airliner blown up and the entire administration will be removed and tried in an international tribunal... full stop.

It's not the loss of a wing of The White that we don't even really understand the function of. We're upset about the lack of process, the lack of permission, and the recklessness that it symbolized.
It's the metaphor for what's happening to the entire country. The wrecking ball-ness of it all.

MAGA could be revived by an impeachment effort saving the midterms. If he's in the middle of a trial and some reps vow to vote no on impeachment, MAGA could rally for them.

When the raptors tested the fences, it exposed weak fences but they didn't get out. They escaped due to human greed and corruption.
That's the real problem. The fault in our system isn't that it was weak. It's that we failed to imagine this level of greed and corruption.

There is absolutely NOTHING in the Constitution that requires a signature for a pardon to be legit. In fact, I would say the ADA would consider the autopen a reasonable accomodation for an elderly person in those circumstances.

The reason *they* aren't into politics is because they're working hard to make ends meet, clean the house, finish homework, and feed the kids. But your boss, your landlord, your school board, and big ag are all into politics.
Those guys want you to stay out of their business. Don't.

A "high value" man doesn't want to marry a woman who makes as much or more money than himself because then he wouldn't be high value anymore. He'd just be a "man" and that means actually having to develop as a human.

Every person who died in the US since February 13, 2025 died while RFK Jr. was in office. That is correlation.
Did some of those people die from measles because of RFK Jr.'s anti-vaxx nonsense? No, only some of them did. That is causation.
