His pettiness has allowed him to achieve amazing things. He used it to fuel his ambitions to replace the Catholic Church.

Now he is the one offering sanctuary and relief to countless pedophiles worldwide.

Acting President. One part of the 25th amendment that’s actually been used a few times (Section 3) is related to anesthesia. When the President is going under general anesthesia they can formally tell congress they’ll be temporarily unable to discharge the duties of the office, so the VeeP becomes acting President.

It’s been done 4 times - all related to the colon, funnily enough. George HW Bush was Acting President during Reagan’s colon-cancer surgery. Cheney was Acting President twice for W’s colonoscopies, and Harris was Acting President during Biden’s colonoscopy.

Between all 4 instances it still adds up to like 11 hours total that a VeeP has been Acting President.

The other parts of the 25th Amendment that have been used are Section 1 (Presidential sucession in case of death, resignation, or removal from office) for when Nixon resigned, and Section 2 (Vice-Presidnential succession) following Spiro Agnew’s resignation and Ford’s elevation to the Presidency following Nixon’s Resignation.

Section 4 (removal by the cabinet) hasn’t been used. It probably should have been when Reagan was shot and incapacitated, but Bush was on a flight and wouldn’t have been able to do anything, so it was tricky.

It definitely should have been used with Ttump on January 6th - and about 900 other times.

Harris at least held the powers of the office for an hour one time while Biden was under for a Colonoscopy. So that’s something.

They were way more repairable though. We had a gas dryer that lasted 40 years and was only replaced because we moved somewhere without gas.

It was basically a big egg timer with an electric motor and a gas burner. You could fix anything on it with a crescent wrench, screwdriver, and off-the-shelf components from the hardware store for about 9 bucks.

The replacement dryer has had to have $1000+ circuit boards replaced more than once.

Do they even keep it dry back there?

A terror attack will drum up more support for the war and give them.an excuse to declare emergencies to further trample civil rights.

It’s the best thing that could happen for this administration.

I cut my teeth on bulletin boards. We actually ran a 2-node bbs with 2 dedicated phone lines out of our house.

I absolutely remember Trillian. It’s what convinced me to finally make an AIM account to talk with my “mainstream” friends who didn’t have ICQ or IRC, since I wouldn’t actually need to run any new software.

Could just be Milwaukee or Cleveland. They kinda froze in the 80s.

College degrees demonstrate you can complete a long-term project with disparate, often competing priorities handed down from separate departments while meeting deadlines and milestones.

Write-offs are deductions from income, not reductions in taxes owed. They only get to deduct the taxes they would have paid if they had kept the donations.

Let’s imagine their annual income was $10,000,000. Their nominal tax rate would have them owing $2,100,000.

If they received a $100,000 in donations, that would make their income 10,100,000. But with the donations they could write off the 100 grand, reducing their tax bill by $21,000, for a total of $2,100,000.

Either way, they pay the same in taxes with or without the donations.

That’s not how tax deductions work. All the write-offs allow is for them to not count the money donated as income, so they make the same amount of money on the sale whether or not you donate.

The benefit to the company is PR or donating to a non-profit with a mission that aligns with their corporate goals. For instance, Bass Pro may ask you to donate to wildlands preservation non-profits that maintain environments in which people fish and hunt.

It’s as if extreme price increases causes by tarrifs, loss of migrant workers, and now memory/storage shortages combined with and devaluation of the dollar drive inflation and the stock market nominally goes up.

That’s Capitalism, baby!

Bilbo Baggins is in the files. By conflating “in the files” with “took part in the crimes” a lot of innocent people will be falsely accused.

And that’s the point.

Trump and team want so many innocent people to be called out that it provides cover for the guilty.

A phone can upload automatically, so even if they take it the video is out there.

Just use a burner phone bought with cash.

Did you just make the Avocado Toast argument?

Bevlcause half of Gen Z is under 21 and the rest is broke?

Just click the footer, check a box to make changes apply only to a single page, and do whatever the fuck you want.

That’s what people have said for years, and it’s a bullshit solution that shouldn’t be necessary. Word has had 40 years to address simple shit like this.
