9·4 months agoOh yeah, I know, it’s just not much of a stretch haha.
Jesus. It’s like if Mac from Always Sunny was the defence secretary.
Apparently not really. It already happened with Sheriff Joe Arpaio. This country is fucked lmao.
I mean, a congress member seems to be saying he can. If he “can’t” he’ll do it anyways, it’ll go to the supreme court and they’ll say it’s fine.

Edit: apparently that’s actually part of what Joe Arpaio was pardoned for.
Sure, but the president can (and will) pardon any of them.
And remember, the courts can’t consider motive, so as long as tariffs are defendable as an official act (which they are) he’s 100% immune. I mean, they found him immune in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, and that was related to campaign finance as a candidate.
The worst part is that if you’re selfish, you’d think Biden would be better. I miss that 30% increase in my stock portfolio vs the 25% decrease for no reason.
I don’t think it’s the CIA doing it to us. We are just dumb as bricks and voted for this because eggs were expensive and trans people bad or something. But I don’t disagree with anything else.
I sure wish someone else could CIA us for a change.
Lmao that’s true. Does that count as major? It PALES in comparison to the Biden Infrastructure bill in terms of scope.
It’s still crazy to me that Trump has all three branches and didn’t pass a single piece of major legislation.
Basically anything really well rated should be fine!
Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.
Emulators.
Slay the Spire.
Fascinating!
It’s absolutely a topic worth discussing and considering from a college or advanced high school level perspective imo as there is debate to be had. IDK if you saw it, the article I linked does discuss a lot of the benefits, and it discusses a lot of the downsides to those benefits. Like cotton from the south was definitely cheaper, but putting all their eggs into the slave estate basket meant they didn’t have a well developed industrial base, which you can see caused them a lot of issues in the civil war. It was also bad from their overall economy.
Fucking yikes. I wouldn’t have guessed that from just the title. I don’t understand why I don’t just assume the absolute worst when Republicans do anything these days 😂
What’s wild is, I actually went and googled this topic with an open mind. It’s not even true. There weren’t major benefits besides adding diversity and culture to our country, and there were certainly better ways to go about that.

For some more context, the article says four of the five units have remedied their issues, and the State Department is working with the Israeli government to remedy the issue with the fifth unit. I’m not sure what they mean by “remedy”, but I’m assuming they mean punishing the individuals responsible or something.
I’m hoping it’s fine given how many supplies have been coming from European partners as of late.
Idk if it counts, but surely Andrew Johnson after the civil war right?
