I also think he could have closed Guantanamo.

Apparently you don’t remember how that went either.

And I even think he could have bailed out the people that lost their houses and not the people that owned the houses.

Oh, sure, just pass an executive order for it, right?

I still think he should have nationalized the banks that failed and renamed them to “Bank A” and “Bank B.”

Jesus Christ man.

Crazy huh.

In desire, no; in perceptions of what the president has the power to do, yes.

If Obama had wanted it, he could have done it.

Lord.

Good cops will change something as soon as police institutions stop pushing out good cops by firings and harassment.

… ie, not until police institutions are forced to allow actual good cops.

California and New York have GDP’s above most other countries in the world.

But Cali and New York do not reap the tax revenue of a country with the GDP of their size; they can only reap part of it, both because Federal taxes remove a portion of that taxable income, and because states are necessarily more limited in their options for taxation than national governments.

It’s possible, don’t get me wrong, but significantly more difficult.

Tell me why I shouldn’t blame the democrats for:

Doing Obama care half assed, when something like 80% people wanted a public option.

Bruh, do you not remember how Obamacare was passed?

You didn’t have to draw on me like that

“Rarely” is not “never”, reaction is faster than conscious action by the study’s conclusions (just not fast enough to offset acting first), and, furthermore, in an actual shooting situation, the important thing is not to actually be the second to draw, but to provoke your own reaction regardless of whether the signal you react to (ie an errant twitch of the opponent’s fingers) is genuine or a false alarm.

I oppose breakfast foods for a different reason. Pancakes for dinner, and damn the haters!

Feudal or non-capitalist elites, or pre-‘imperialist’ capitalist bourgeois (ie oligarchies as liberal capitalist democracies would disdain them).

National armies would literally line up facing each other in uniforms with literal X-marks-the-spot targets.

The reason for armies meeting up like that, and in bright colors, is to avoid friendly fire, not because of honor or anything like that. When you have a bunch of peasants dragged from their homes and shove a musket in their hands, anything more complex than “Holy shit, holy fucking shit, do NOT shoot or stab the guys in BRIGHT RED, only those in BRIGHT BLUE” tends to get lost in the chaos of battle.

There’s no way to “fire early” because they are watching for you to reach for your gun.

The ‘conventional’ wisdom is to wait for the other duelist to reach for their gun because reflex is faster than conscious action.

And still supporting him now, no doubt.

Gr*ek detected 🤢

“We haven’t seen anything like this” says demographic hit hard by something like this by the same exact fuckwit a few years ago.

It’s so crazy to blink past tanking indexes in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Dubai while pumping a fist and announcing “Fuck yeah! We got Russia!”

When the US suffers along with the rest of the world: “YES! Take THAT Amerikkkan Empire!”

When Russia suffers along with the rest of the world: “W-we shouldn’t celebrate… t-think of everyone else who’s being hurt…”

Curious, the difference in reactions to the exact same fucking crisis.

lmao, when Krasnov’s stupidity manages to hurt Russia even when he excludes them from sanctions.
