This is their response to realizing that Trump's tariffs could cause them to lose the house and the senate for 60 years.
Their response isn't to maybe reflect on their behaviour and maybe stand up to the orange twat. But instead their response is to make sure that the Judiciary doesn't have the power to stop him and therefore prevent them ever getting voted out.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid child endangerment charges and put your students in another irresponsible situation next week.
It’s like they’re living in an alternate reality dictated by their talking heads, and without critical thought or reflection.
Otherwise known as "the prairies"
"Yeah, about your pamphlet...I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945."
"Everyone was on vacation."
"What are you talking about, Germany invaded Poland in 1939."
"We were invited! Punch was served. Check with Poland!"
"You can't just ignore those years! Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany!"
"Nope...He left to manage a Dairy Queen!"
"A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous!"
"I will hear NO MORE insinuations about the German people. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!"
Now all of these people converge on Mar-a-Lago and burn it to the ground. Preferably with Trump and Musk inside.
China can do without United States luxury imports like cars and iPhones for far longer than American consumers can do without coffee makers, microwaves, televisions, blenders, dishes, utensils, clothing, and literally every other consumer good in existence.
Maybe pay some attention instead of just posting a meaningless number. It's not HOW MUCH trade is done, it's WHAT is coming to and from each of the countries.
China doesn't need America's crap. America most definitely does need China's.
The worst type of person is the person who is so allergic to being "wrong" that they'll constantly double down with new bullshit to try to convince people why it wasn't a mistake in the first place. It's fucking exhausting.
You think the allure of being fully independent and having your own instance would be right up their alley given how they value independence, but nope.
Because it's not about freedom of speech for them, it's about freedom to force people to listen. Having their own server where they can shout at each other all day doesn't serve their purpose. Their panties get wet by forcing others to listen.
Even books read for pleasure shouldn't have to dumb down their grammar and writing style. There are plenty of comic books/graphic novels with better writing than the Twilight Saga (for example). By "learning something" I don't mean you have to read non-fiction books to learn about history and what not. But books like Twilight, which are written with no sense of story structure, word usage, or proper grammar in some places, are beyond harmful.
She's a shit writer whose style appeals to people who people who can't tell the difference because they barely paid attention in English class and don't care to.
If you want an example of the other direction, Harry Potter is a series that appeals to young people, but are well written and actually inspire kids to read because it challenges them to get better at handling good writing.
I'm not "gate keeping" anything. I'm saying the writer has an obligation to enrich people, regardless of whether it's reading for fun or reading for learning.
Ah yes. Nothing like a little gross oversimplification to generate headlines.
If the shuttle didn't exist, there are still a thousand things that would have had to go in a different direction to get a viable Mars program in the 80s and 90s. Not the least of which being that without the shuttle, and before the ISS, we would have no CLUE how to actually live in space for long periods of time.
So if we take it that we can't go to Mars without learning how to live in space for extended durations. And we take it that in order to learn how to live in space we need to have a long duration presence there, like the ISS.
What exactly do people think was necessary to build the ISS.....
You're right boys and girls....it was the SPACE SHUTTLE.
Fucking hell, I hate having to upvote this...so much....
Twilight is everything that is wrong with modern literature. It's dumbing down your art in order to cater to a population whose reading levels have declined to the low grade school level over the years.
Good books increase your literacy. You learn new things from reading them; new words, new phrases, etc... an author is supposed to add to the collective intelligence of the world, not debase themselves to write at a fourth grade level so that their books are more popular to incurious illiterates.
I would argue that he already thinks the rest of the world are vassals and always have been.
When he puts out demands to foreign companies and calls it "an issue of compliance"; it's clear he's not thinking of other countries as equals.
He thinks we're vassals and this is how we all should have been treated all along since WW2.
