According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they're related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they're being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they're going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.

We're now talking big about 200% tariffs! Soon we'll keep upping them to 400 and 1000% to make us feel bigly.

Truly the dumbest timeline.

I'm on board if she brings a whiteboard and schools people after putting forth actual legislation based on real data. She'll be amazing in any political seat she is elected to.

It's a major goal of conservatives and Republicans to destroy free and open thinking. Education and educational institutions are enemies of fascism, so therefore fascists will work to destroy schools.

He disbanded the US government agency that develops the annual GDP numbers. Guess how they'll figure those out next year?

If you guessed "we'll make some up that are higher than last year" then you're spot on.

Not on my machines. Open Source oses and tools are the only way to have a chance at dodging this kind of thing.

She is the best representative Georgia chooses to send. They like being just this fucking dumb. Send her once, you got tricked. Send her twice? You're just stupid and obviously angry enough to hurt everyone else just because you're in pain.

It's not a law as far as I know, just a tradition. The Mint and Congress have only ever put designs in place for people who have already passed away. This was strongly codified in the presidential dollar coin series. They required that for a president to have a coin, they had to have died some time before their coin was due. This meant that the series did not include presidents still living, even past ones.

You only put living people on coinage if they're monarchs was the original thinking. In fact, we barely put actual people on coins until 1932. Up until then it was depictions of Lady Liberty and animals more than anything else. We changed that with the George Washington quarter as a commemorative short run, but it just kind of kept going... and now we're trying to put a monarch on the currency. Oh, how the nation has fallen.

That because Trump is a coward bully and Zelensky is a leader with strength and integrity. All Trump has is being offended and attacking people,.not addressing issues which is why everything he touches turns to shit.
