The us involvement in Afghanistan was truly one of the biggest blunders in a century and it didn't have to be. It wasn't just one president but a 20 year failure in state building, that had been run with profit in mind. The us used to be able to do this in Japan and Korea(only the South though). I believe it was the corruption and the contractors that set up such a terrible state.

The thing is they wouldn't have a problem with you calling it that, because the whole purpose was to degrade what an actual coup is before they do one

I would go with you duck, but I wouldn't judge those unwilling to go. Those who don't hear the call to adventure leave more for the rest of us... is what I'd like to say.

"The federal government cannot operate if the president doesn't have absolute immunity for any act he deems official"

"Yes, yes, good and rational." -Thomas

"In pretty sure it's implied we can hire people to work here"

"Whaa... I don't see THAT in the constitution!" -Thomas

I think it's rooting. Routing is what happens when I'm playing total war and have a group of greatswords envelope my peasant mobs.

I feel like this could go badly. Tying someone to a permanent location who may be on the radar could be used against them. Also, if they then get deported, which seems more likely if they own to me, whose on the hook? I'm not sure from the article. Does a bank get the house and the money? I can't tell if this is all state, or state supported through a bank. I could see this abused badly. If the house goes to a bank, wouldn't the bank have a perverse incentive to report them and get them deported?

The premise is ridiculous not just in that we couldn't trust this coming from trumps own mouth, but also that it implies that a vice president has any control over any president, much less donald trump.

Isn't there an argument that the kdp sdp split helped hitler get into power?

The kid was angry, but you are only making it worse with this punishment. The appropriate thing to do would be to send him to a competent guidance counselor and work through his feelings then send him on a path forward. Not really even a "punishment " but a correction. Before reading what happened I would have said that even that would be too much, but having read it, I don't think it would hurt to counsel him though his feelings. I doubt Tennessee has many competent guidance counselors though.

I guess it's weird for a son to live his father.

He's responsible for killing America. All our major economic problems caused by reinstating the policies that caused the great depression , and we're surprised? No, we're brain washed into believing that a gilded age to great depression cycle is good.
