This is going to depend entirely on who he puts in power. Steve Bannon is talking about a fucking new Great Society movement now to solidify Trump's power (seriously, wtf), whereas JD Vance and Elon Musk want to ruin poor people to enrich the wealthy

If Russia decided to invade and NATO doesn't immediately send reinforcements

That's the entire fucking point of NATO, my dude

“You have ruined my ability to buy a home. I’m 34 with a 100k+ job and it’s time I target the people and companies that have ruined my ability to live the life I deserve. I will be coming after your executive team personally. Please call me before I do things that are unforgivable and will make your executive team question their life choices. Thank you, Taylor Bullard."

Bullard sent the message as an answer to a Capitol One email “urging [him] to create a payment plan to resolve his approximate $543 debt with the company."

Not exactly the brightest bulb

Addressing the education portion of your question, I grew up in the American South in the 1980s-90s, and I learned plenty about the horrors of slavery and Jim Crow in school. I recognize this is a single data point, but am pretty sure these are widely taught. I also don't really hear anyone calling for a return to slavery or Jim Crow, so this education seems to have successfully imbued our culture with a sense that these are bad things.

I think your overall question is answered somewhat by the fundamental demographics of each country. What percentage of Germans today are ethnically German? A lot. In the US, our racial mix is much more fragmented, to the point where racial minorities have thriving subcultures that some people don't view as extolling "traditional American values," whatever those are. But these subcultures are increasingly visible and powerful, leading to resentment among many who view their culture, that of "traditional American values," as losing power.

The single largest ethnic group in the US are people of German descent (I'm one of them), with well over 40 million people, and these people along with people of British descent are largely the ones driving this "traditional American values" bullshit. People of Irish descent used to be subject to serious racism in the US in the early 20th century, but have since been fully accepted into the dominant white culture and many now also participate in white racism against Black and Hispanic people.

I don't get the petulant attitude about basic word differences. Different food and linguistic traditions exist in different places. Absolutely bonkers, right?

Early British settlers in the United States brought with them a simple, easy style of cooking, most often based on ground wheat and warmed with gravy. Most were not wealthy men and women, and so it was a source of cheap nutrition.

A very similar practice was also popular once with the Royal Navy as hard, flour-based biscuits would keep for long journeys at sea but would also become so difficult to chew that they had to be softened up. These were first introduced in 1588 to the rations of ships and found their way into the New World by the 1700s at the latest.

The biscuit emerged as a distinct food type in the early 19th century, before the American Civil War. Cooks created a cheaply produced addition for their meals that required no yeast, which was expensive and difficult to store. With no leavening agents except the bitter-tasting pearlash available, beaten biscuits were laboriously beaten and folded to incorporate air into the dough which expanded when heated in the oven causing the biscuit to rise. In eating, the advantage of the biscuit over a slice of bread was that it was harder, and hence kept its shape when wiping up gravy in the popular combination biscuits and gravy.

American biscuits and gravy are direct descendants of British biscuits and gravy. And American biscuits are not scones

The MBAs relentlessly seek power and money. I worked many years for a large hospital system that I watched transform from clinician-run, with nurses, doctors, and social workers in almost all leadership positions, to MBA-run, with people with no clinical experience in almost all leadership positions. Everything just got worse and worse over time as decision after decision was made that compromised clinical integrity in favor of saving a few dollars. I don't work there anymore

Let me guess, you've also turned down the measles vaccine. And polio. And viral hepatitis.

That looks extremely precarious. Impressive that it can navigate that and survive, but it looks like something you should never do on purpose. That won't be able to navigate a swift current, and what happens if it gets caught on something underneath the water or capsizes

YouTube says the policy will combat “egregious” clickbait that misleads viewers, with a particular focus on videos related to “breaking news” or “current events.” The company’s examples of egregious clickbait include a video with the title “the president resigned!” that doesn’t actually address a resignation or a “top political news” thumbnail attached to a video with no news content.

This is only going to target garbage-level content. You can still expect the same clickbait-style titles and thumbnails from established creators

4. A ton of people rely on the advice of financial advisors who don't have their interests in mind and who sell them mutual fund packages with high expense ratios that do poorly long term. These people generally lack the financial knowledge to know any different.

These weren't pardons, but commuted sentences. I don't know what the stipulations surrounding that are

I can only hope this is a joke. This is Tim Heidecker, from Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
