It’s odd how all of Putin’s short-term strategies have failed, but his long term ones like brexit and supporting the far right throughout Europe are working a treat.
He has at least a few competent people in his rogues gallery.
Southern Christian.
Pro-life, but love guns and executing people while hating access to Healthcare for the poor.
Southern Christian love is the darkest kind of hate.
- Be an advanced, developed nation
The south is not remotely an advanced, developed nation.
It’s like if you took Brussels, then glued the worst bits of Somalia to it.
We had to fight a war to get them to stop keeping black people as pets, and they just kept doing it anyway.
Hitler wrote of the south specifically as an inspiration for German genetic policies (Jim Crow) in Mein Kampf. Black GIs came home from killing nazis to be lynched from trees.
By far the best outcome for the GOP is for Trump to get got.
They can win elections on this forever, and walk in any solid corpo-fascist they want under a Maga hat, for instance jd Vance.
Sorry, politico is pretty firmly center if not center-right, even by US standards.
Future xena, because why mess with a formula.
This is just their way of saying ‘don’t blame us, haven’t we been through enough?’
An infected phone app on your wifi can screw you.
Same, Texas is unique, they fought 2 wars of independence because their parent country started (or could theoretically start) restricting slavery.
Technically assault does not require contact:
In the terminology of law, an assault is the act of causing physical harm or unwanted physical contact to another person, or, in some legal definitions, the threat or attempt to do so. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in criminal prosecution, civil liability, or both.
Some jurisdictions have the misdemeanor charge of ‘menacing’ for when contact isn’t made.
Should have solved that problem back then.
Note how racist and evil the south still is, and compare it to Germany, and they had 1/3 the time to get better.
The founding fathers established the electoral college as a compromise between electing the president in a vote by Congress and a popular vote. I would take an amendment to the constitution to get rid of it.
They established it as a way to launder slave votes into presidential elections, as stated explicitly by the man responsible, James madison:

There was one difficulty however of a serious nature attending an immediate choice by the people. The right of suffrage was much more diffusive in the Northern than the Southern States; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes. The substitution of electors obviated this difficulty and seemed on the whole to be liable to fewest objections.
The electoral college exists because southerners were spoiled bitches who wanted more power than they deserved, then they threw a tantrum when they lost anyway (the Civil War), now they keep threatening and whining if they can’t keep their unfair advantage while gerrymandering to hell.
I’d be fine with the EC, if we also denied the electoral votes of states that don’t follow the constitution or ratify all the amendments (Mississippi still refuses to ratify the 24th banning the poll tax).
Because everything I was born with, country, language, system of measurements, was obviously the best, as evidenced by the fact that I was born with it.
I think you’re confusing them with pickup trucks, our official badge of douchebaggery.
Seriously, as an American the best part of America are the Mexicans.
