That's what I was getting at however... The first part is moot since you have to acquire it first, and to do that you already need to be rich. The rich can already afford to get into office, this also means they can afford to be in office salary change or not because they are already rich.
The...
I think officials should get paid what the average American gets paid. Calculate it out, and that's their salary. If that's not good enough for them, then maybe they need to do better.
His bluff got called and he bitched out. Looks like someone overplayed their hand.

Worrying about the 1% of illegals and drugs that come from Canada and not focusing on the 98% that come from the southern border is fucking dumb. Like worrying about a pinhole on your aft when there's a 6 foot hole in your bow letting the ocean in.
We do. I didn't say it was rational, but it's why. There were a number of high profile nuclear incidents and that shaped the narrative surrounding nuclear power, even though those arguments are now outdated.
We don't need to "cut them off". They already said they don't need us.

Trump is starting trade wars that he is going to lose. Sometimes tariffs make sense. The Canadian ones don't. The amount of...
Yes it absolutely can be more complicated, just like you mentioned. It can also be a lot worse with multiple crossings. I used a shirt example with nice round numbers to make the illustration easier.
My main point was: Tariffs aren't some magic bullet that uses mystery money to magically...
So taxes, but in a different form.
Tariffs aren't magical money from someone else. The importer pays the tarrifs. They pass that on.
So let's use some round numbers for easy calculations.
Let's say today I import a t-shirt for $10, and my other costs (employees, building, etc.) cost me...
Accountable for what exactly? They are a private entity they can do whatever they want on their website. If it's just pairing words with commonly associated phrases, oh well?
It's sort of a dumb thing to do, but making dumb business choices isn't illegal.
Ok and?
If you are a federal employee you need to justify your job. No deviation.
How hard is to to say: patrolled 400 miles of border, arrested 17 illegals, turned them over for deportation processing.
A paper trail on what's claimed should be easy to produce. Let's see it. if i were to make these sorts of claims I'd also show up with some form of physical evidence. They make it sound rampant, which means it should be relatively trivial to obtain.
You should always be skeptical. Doesn't...
Who is being interviewed?
What is their background?
Two random people talking isn't proof of anything. I could read anything from a script too.
A whole lot more context is needed.
There's an old one where the guy had some type of camera or alert system on his, and he came out and blasted the guy with paintballs lol.
Not a fan of Trump, but last time I checked people had free speech and fucking with people's property is no good in my book.
I care when it seeps into my life. That's my point of caring. When I'm pushed and prodded to support "the message". My response is that they can go fuck themselves. When I'm told to abandon onjective fact in conversation because some random thinks they're a woman, when they aren't. It's...
It is a mental illness in almost every case. Barring the outlier cases with chromosomal or physical developmental abnormalities, if you have a penis and think you are a woman, you are objectively incorrect.
I view it the same as I would schizophrenia. They are convinced "the voices" are...
Democracy is fine. Letting in swaths of outsiders who do not wish to conform or share your general values is not. No form of government can withstand that.
Bad idea. If we are allowing EOs to now dictate arms rights, then you might not like how the wind blows 4 years from now. I'd prefer the molasses slow congress to a yo-yo that goes back and forth.
While I don't like the guy, there is no evidence to support this. Just because his father was in rhe FBI doesn't mean anything of the sort. The FBI is fucking huge. Sometimes things are just coincidences.
I don't like it.
They'll take their own people back. Ok, they should do this.
They'll take other foreign nationals in for a fee. Yeah fuck that. Send those other foreign nationals back to their country of origin - and pay nothing. That's the route. Fuck paying a foreign government a fee...
Was watching some footage of deportations, and damn that's some funny and cold shit. The ICE officer asked the guy his name and a few other questions like where he was from ,etc. One of the questions was if he had ever been deported before. It went like this:
Ice Officer: Have you ever been...
Not a fan of that idea, I see a TON of potential for abuse that outweighs the potential good.
Civil asset forfeiture abuse comes to mind right off the top.
If you wake up every morning, scratch your balls and in your brain say to yourself "yup, I'm a woman", you have mental issues. You have a severe disconnection from reality. These are far from desirable traits for a military.
The last person I want having my back in a combat situation is...
I agree with their right to call themselves whatever they want. I disagree with their expectation that they get to decide what everyone else gets to call them too. They push their stupid pronoun shit and act like I'm the crazy one for not calling a dude in a dress a woman. They can fuck right...
