Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

I’m sure you do however without the help of my daughter I am sure if I try settings anything everything will go crazy.
My son might be able to do it though I’m not so sure about that. :rofl:

Giving it a go found out how to do it and I have FR-EN on my spacebar and so far so good. Not painful at all. I have lost the emoji button perhaps as I’ve set it to AZERTY as I’m used to that?
Wow I’m so clever, I have found 2 ways to select emojis. :partying_face::grin:

… meanwhile the US continues to spiral into chaos.

Where is the opposition? How can a 250 year old democracy be destroyed overnight? Where is the outrage?

It has probably been mentioned already , but is worth repeating anyway.

Elon Musk thinks Donald Trump should ‘seriously consider’ pardoning Derek Chauvin … because legalising murder is a perfectly normal thing to do presumably.

It’s not overnight.

The Unitary Executive theory started being pushed by the sections of the right in the Nixon era. The Federalist Society was founded in 82. It took them until the W Bush presidency to really capture the establishment right. By the time Trump left office it had a majority of the supreme court. This is obviously not an all inclusive list of things that got us here, but it shows that this was a very long game that has been played. The result was they had enough of their claws in government that it meant that even after everything he did, Trump was not only able to avoid justice, he was able to run again and win. That is the result of a plan in motion for 50 years.

But it doesn’t have the infrastructure to host them. Yet anyway. So many doubt this:

This is just a massively grievance-driven “government”.

I spent the afternoon/evening drinking in Canada. So take THAT, America. It’s all Driftwood, Kilter, Section 6 and Sookrams from here.

Sgt Slaughter has been traded to the Leafs, as well, so get that boyo a cup, 'cause he deserves it.
