Welcome to modern capitalism, where long term sustainable gains are second to short term profit, and destroying a company for the latter is considered “financial genius”.

It’s because he desperately wants to use one. It’s why he wanted to nuke the hurricane. He thinks it’s cool, and wants to be the second president to actually use a nuclear weapon.

“But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

-12th Amendment

Also, succession skips other people who would be ineligible, as the requirements for being a member of the House allow people who are ineligible to be President to serve as Speaker of the House, who is otherwise 3rd in line.

Oh it did, they fed it data from Stack Overflow.

Ah, looks like you’re correct, I guess I got the claims conflated myself.

Let’s assume for a second that the claims about the MMR vaccine had merit. It was specifically claimed that the cause was the addition of thimerosal as a preservative agent. Despite there being no evidence supporting this assertion, thimerosal was removed from nearly all vaccines decades ago. Which means that, if he was genuine in his beliefs, he shouldn’t have a problem with any of them anymore.

EDIT It appears the thimerosal claim wasn’t actually linked to MMR, as that vaccine never had it to begin with. My bad.

He is a citizen. Now, there is some evidence he may have obtained that citizenship under false pretenses, but as of now he is legally a US citizen.

It’s a shot across the bow. It gets people organizing and coordinating. Once people start working together on something, you can then direct that and focus long term on a boycott of, say Amazon.

No, it didn’t, but it is still regarded as the inciting incident that brought the US into the war. Stop apologizing for Trump being an idiot.

This isn’t some obscure statistic or random battle that he is ignorant of. It’s literally the inciting incident that got the United States to join the war. The Japanese forces launched a sneak attack on the US there, that’s literally all he needed to know.

You either don’t understand that either, in which case you’re showcasing your own ignorance, or you’re making excuses for him, in which case you’re a sycophant and can be disregarded.

Heh. Potholes fixed with marijuana.

For the phrase, “broken” specifically means “stopped”, and the clock is analog. If the hands don’t turn, then they will be correct twice per day.

Just FYI, this phrase originates with a literal neonazi.

Except the president doesn’t have that authority. Congress could push back, but it’s currently populated by sycophants.

There’s a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like “Hillary for Jail!”

Possibly the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

That’s fucked up

If he had been fined, do you think he’d actually pay it? And what then? You can’t stick him in jail to make him pay it.

I think this was the real reason behind the decision. Any governmental punishment is ultimately backed by a threat of jail/prison for non-compliance, but if you can’t do that to the president, then he can just ignore it anyway.

I’m not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.

I don’t believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.

My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won’t be the last.
