This is like saying you’re going to steal your enemies favorite grenade. Sure you might be able to do it, but it’s going to blow up in your face.

That expense is what keeps them off the battlefield. War is just violent economics after all.

I’m kind of curious when the directed energy tech catches up to drone tech. At some point drones may very well become useless because they can’t soak up or dissipate enough energy. It’s probably a decade away at the least, but it’s on the horizon.

Canada was British at the time, about 40 years later Canada became a country.

Jacobin is going all out to fight the dems ever since AIPAC became toxic. Sounds like a bunch of whiney bullshit.

Business success is a skill, and knowledge set, that’s crucial to the economy, without which the US wouldn’t be a global leader. The point of having multiple skill set leaders on a small council is to prevent the ‘business above all else’ mind set from prevailing, while also making sure needed expertise is at the table.

The global economy is severely weakened, but stable. There is also a long list of developments that could crater everything, both literally and figuratively, and very little to look forward to for the vast majority of the population.

Best case scenario is the ending of multiple hostilities, allowing the resumption of trade, and a slow grinding recovery.

Worst case scenario is an extinction event, either caused by escalation in Ukraine, or to a lesser extent Iran, leading to nuclear conflict.

Both extreme’s are unlikely, and the entire range between them is just various levels of who is going to get fucked.

Make it a small council, 3 to 5 people chosen at random from a pool limited to those with some list of qualifications. Make it a point system based on academic, civic, and business success. Those that have enough points are automatically in the pool.

Depends on the actual spot, there a holes in the bottom of some of those canals, there could have been a head injury when she fell. Until someone is actually standing where she fell in, you don’t actually know the depth.

She’d be great as Senate Majority leader. Especially if AOC were to take Schumers seat.

Would that include Stargate SG-1? It was all filmed in Canada.

The same methods used to protect lynch mobs.

NYT is getting jealous?

Bunkers only protect against foreign bombs. Local residents have construction equipment and concrete saws.

We occasionally get lucid leadership. As a whole group though, our leadership class has always had some glaring idiocy going on.

Was there a time when they weren’t?

It was anonymous members of his campaign. They never said it on camera because he never wanted to take a position on it, and no one really pressed it enough.

He said he was only going to do one term really early on. Then once in office, that pipe dream evaporated. It was pretty much just some remarks during the campaign against Trump.

As for pulling it off, he probably could have, just barely. Not that he had any more enthusiasm from anyone, but he would have kept a bigger part of the elderly vote who knew him well. At least if were able to stand up on stage with Trump and be lucid. My bet is that could only happen with a fairly heavy drug cocktail, that would lead to serious health problems fairly quickly. He fell apart right after the election anyway, so it very well might have killed him on the spot.

Only if they tricked Trump into another debate while Joe was on a lot of coke. At which point he would have had to step down right after the election anyway, due to his heart giving out.

Joe never should have ran for a second term, and he should have known better than to try it.

Same as any other office holder. Impeach in the house, convict in the Senate.
