More than just one, but yeah, the “overall flow” is set in law by acts of Congress, and only an act of Congress can stop that flow, not the executive branch.

Like a bowl of menudo gone rancid.

There have been U S. officials that confirmed this has happened though.

I’m not even arguing that it’s effective, just that it happened.

But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel, it’s the only thing he can (legally, not politically) do since the aid is mandated by law and his executive power doesn’t extend to negating laws.

It’s one of those cruel ironic twists. Wages actually have increased, but inflation has far outpaced them.

It’s only barely begun to level back out. The real question is if the wages will stay high once inflation (and greedflation) calms the fuck down.

Maybe if he forgets half the shit he’s said that directly contradicts the other half, and doesn’t try to nuke a hurricane over Mexico.

Larger population means larger representation. If you say the Netherlands only has about 100,000 idiots, that’s roughly half a percent of their population.

Half of a percent of the US population is over 1.5 million. And I promise you, we have a waaaaaaay higher percentage of idiots than that.

That or military districts. It doesn’t matter though, the Republicans had enough votes to pass it on their own. These Dems are, exactly as you say, just playing it safe at home.

Yestsin won with 58 and 54 percent of the vote in his two elections, hardly a ‘landslide’:

Putin’s lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.

Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:

Ukraine feeds a lot of the world, and it’s in everyone’s best interest that it keeps doing that.

I’m pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.

Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).

Senegalese refugees comprise the bulk of the migrants, and all sorts of things like drought and commodity prices (due to the invasion Ukraine among other things) are driving their economy into the ground. In the end, climate change is definitely a non negligible component of the problem which is only going to get worse.

haha no source, just a dumb joke.

Same for 3, but the rat killing doesn’t happen until near the end.

Deplatforming isn’t denying anyone their freedom of speech unless that platform is owned by some part of the US Government. That dog needs to RTFM.

They’re bringing a salvage tug. Not a big show of confidence in that selection.

Sontar-ha!

They’re probably all too busy working on Half Life 3
