I went to Paris once, and despite everything I had heard my whole life, if you start off with a Bonjour and end with a Merci, in between, the locals are almost all perfectly happy to speak English with you.

I’m sure I say these things with a thick American accent so they all know not to continue too much further in French.

When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.

I preferred Minesweeper

I vote for the side that doesn’t raise an army of lawless unaccountable masked gunmen raiding homes without warrants and executing people in the streets.

But the two parties are just the same!

Why so sure? Giuliani was. Chesboro was. Jenna Ellis had her license suspended.

The point is that banning the export of US oil would cause oil to stop being a globalized commodity (in the US.) US production and US consumption have not changed since the Iran war started. But US prices are up since US production is being shipped to places where their supply from Hormuz is cut off.

Other responder said that US refining can’t refine US oil, which would be extremely odd and I hadn’t heard that before but if true would indeed destroy my logic here.

Horses and oxen, which do not talk, are still compelled by man to labor.

Trump could ban US oil export. That would bring the price of gas down here.

He won’t do that.

Automakers have billions of dollars in brand new EV manufacturing equipment and lines sitting around doing nothing since the new administration changed all the regulations and incentives.

The wildest and most frustrating thing is that absolutely no one (besides OP) is talking about this. The tariffs did not increase domestic manufacturing. They did not work. Yet that is among the least of concerns for the President or any national discourse.

When he says anything will happen in 2-3 weeks, he means the next news cycle in 2-3 weeks should distract you from his total failure to do what he said.

If he was on trial for an unsolved murder he could have plausibly been present for, and the murder relates to the description he wrote in his book, yes absolutely the fact he wrote about similar murders should be presentable to the jury. Of course it should! How would that not be relevant?

I would not think that it would be enough to convict on its own but absolutely it could be supporting evidence.

Had he not already been acquitted, OJ Simpson’s book “If I Did It” should absolutely have been admissible as evidence against him in the murder trial even though he put the word “If” in the title

I did not see a single April fools joke this year

A defendant’s statements should not become inadmissible in court just because they are expressed in the form of rap lyrics.

I really doubt he has any influence even over the diehard MAGA crowd.

Lol what did he say about them?

Exactly who cares the slightest bit about the political opinions of Rob Schneider?

Doing well in the chaos of war does not mean you are unprepared and unplanned.

Disagree. The people who coordinated this sort of thing were professionals who knew EXACTLY what they were doing

We used to be a proper country.

You could be a very fair pricing dentist and easily get a net worth over $1m over your career.
