I use them. It helps me identify “weeds” so I can know if they’re good for pollinators or have to be removed immediately for invasiveness.

Example: I often keep a couple milkweed plants growing for monarch butterflies.

Whoever made this isn’t a fan of Good Times.

It may not matter at all. Imagine it’s deemed unofficial and he wins the election, he will almost definitely pardon himself. Pardon powers were never given reasonable limits.

People have undervalued that the real check on a president’s powers is in the hands of the voters. The next strongest checks seem to be the lifespan of the executive and the two term limit.

That’s improbable enough for me to interpret those rumors as entirely made up.

And yet I’ve had to throw out a whole bottle of St. Ives lotion. Which country is threatened by me having silky smooth skin?

Oh thanks I was looking at old information.

EDIT: I realized now you’re just giving supplemental old info.

What does this have to do with Muslims? The article doesn’t even mention Islam. Did you respond to the wrong article?

there were enough checks on his power that he mostly managed to simply be incompetent and chaotic

There were no real checks. He had way too many Republicans in Congress for there to be. Most of what protects America is gentleman’s agreements that we all assume a normal president wouldn’t defy.

If the leader of the FBI attempts to investigate him again, they could just hire a new one who won’t.

That is literally what happened last time. The house (where Republicans are a majority) wouldn’t pass a bill that makes firing the FBI director illegal so there’s no real difference.

That just makes me wonder so much more. How do we know they were Syrian and how do we know where they live without finding them?
