In disputes over protests, deportations and tariffs, the president has invoked statutes that may not provide him with the authority he claims.

        How big of a hot tub would you need to fit all the billionaires in the world in it at the same time?

          Pretty sure a standard Olympic-size pool oughta do it. Wait, unless you mean the heirs as well. Then we might be looking at a small lake of some sort.

            An olympic sized pool is two and a half million liters and since the average human body is about sixty-two liters you could fit forty thousand three hundred and twenty-two bodies in there with a blender and nothing would spill out.

            Apparently there are three thousand and twenty-eight billionaires in the world right now.

      Don’t know any billionaires you can talk to? Look up MLS listings and property tax listings for the most expensive properties in your area. Don’t forget to knock EXTRA LOUD. Apparently they don’t hear very well.

    Effectively it was stack the Supreme Court and lower courts to provide top cover, then use whatever means to get a majority and then move to rule by decree. It’s all illegal as presidents are bound by law but this one is protected by a rogue Supreme Court.

    Hi all, I hope people hear this and the post is not hidden. This is an insecure system, and talking on here about things you want to or will do will be used by the regime.

    Please take this as it is meant. I fully appreciate the anger and the pain you are all feeling, and you are totally right to fight, but you must fight smart.

    DO NOT LET YOUR ANGER GET THE BEST OF YOU. If this goes the way it’s looking like it might, direct fights with whatfever is left of the States’ forces is suicide, and the good guys need all the boots on the ground you can muster.

    There are many veterans of the war on terror who are literal experts on the tactics needed to win this; seek them out.

    Assume all coms are monitored because they are. Look after each other, people.

    A friend who knows the score.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
