Politics 1 year, 4 months agoThere are other ways.
He might withdraw days before the middle of his term, continuing to rule through his veep and then seek a second term again in the next election, which I think may be perfectly legal.
He might elect a proxy (Don Jr.?) to stand in for him while he rather blatantly is the true President, also probably…[Read more]

Politics 1 year, 4 months agoWhile the judge did the right thing in dismissing charges with prejudice, I’m sure prosecutors holding charges in abeyance to extort someone’s cooperation is pretty much standard practice, though I suspect most often it’s done to get an underling to rat on a more important target.

Politics 1 year, 4 months agoA psychiatrist explains why Trump wanting a third term (and by extenstion of his logic, to never leave office) was inevitable from the start. And, amazingly, it has nothing to do with facing prison after leaving office.

Question for my UK friends here. At any given time, what percentage of men are wearing baseball csps backwards while indoors? And do they take their cap off to take a shower, go to bed, or to have sex?

Sunday School 1 year, 4 months agoTrump is floating a third term. The thing is that that’s a practical impossibility without executing an illegal coup. Here’s the legal way of getting a third term by amending the Constitution:
An amendment can be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Alternatively, two-thirds of the state legislatures…[Read more] -

Moving on, another word the two cultures share that actually refers to two wildly different things is the word “bacon.” Apparently, if you do find American-style bacon in the UK, it’s called something like “streaky bacon.” What’s the difference?
Yes, they come from different parts of the pig.…[Read more]

I’ve been exploring cooking videos lately, and watching non-Americans discover and even try making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which many of them turned into an adventure.
I think it was Churchill who described the linguistic difference between Americans and Brits as something like “Two peoples separated by a common language.”…[Read more]

What I mean by greatest rock band of all time is specific. It does not refer to how many records they sold, the size of crowds they could draw, or how long they were together other than that they needed to be together for a while, say at least two years to eliminate short-lived supergroups or super jam sessions. I also don’t mean individual…[Read more]

Trump is starting to test the courts by resisting or ignoring their orders.
These cases will be appealed up to the Supreme Court (good-bye summer recess!) and hopefully Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts who are now the two “swing” justices will be telling him “No, you can’t do that!” for all of his unconstitutional moves and most of his…[Read more]

Are the girls of The Warning sexing their act up a bit? About 8 months ago, Dany showed up in a skirt to play on the Jimmy Kimmel show and since then, she occasionally does play in a skirt.
