Yeah, you need 38 states to ratify it. If we go by governors (so I don’t have to do a ton of research, but it’s probably representative of legislatures), only 27 states are Republican controlled. Good fucking luck getting a partisan amendment through.
Constitutional amendments also have to be ratified by the states. That’s not trivial.
It’s in the constitution. It’ll take a lot more than that.
The USA became dominant by letting the world fight itself to ruins, then entering into the war late and declaring victory. TWICE.
Being the only mostly undestroyed nation after a world war is immensely profitable.
It’s not why I don’t go to church any more… but it’s certainly a good supporting reason.
The guy in the blue shirt is a dirty liar.
We don’t typically do that here, but Trump has certainly been talking with the world’s leader in defenestration.
Bombs are really hard to aim. Guns are far better for defense.
The way her hairband coincides with her ear makes her look a bit like an elf. Or maybe it’s just too early in the morning and I need to wake up.
Listed didn’t mean anything unless it’s bought though, right?
We can still try to obstruct via filibuster and other mechanisms. (Republicans have already shown us how to do it effectively.) But certainly no progress can be made for the next four years.
Nah, Russia could barely handle a Ukraine with heavy restrictions on how they could use weapons.
Poland could kick Russia’s ass.
In the short term, Russia will probably be pacified, because they got their guy in office. Long term that causes an escalation in the new Cold War going on. Ukraine is probably fucked - they probably can’t survive four years with diminished support.
Tensions with China will escalate quickly, since Trump promised to enact absolutely bonkers tariffs.
Palestine is probably fucked, since Trump seems to want Israel to escalate the conflict. Netanyahu seems quite pleased.
I’m not as doom and gloom about the environment though - economics will continue to force renewable energy. As we all know, money has a whole lot more power than Trump ever will. He can slow it down, but economics always wins.
Barring something extreme, probably so. There might be legal challenges available but it does not look like Pennsylvania was close enough to possibly flip.
Only one candidate said they want to be a dictator if elected, and (spoiler alert) it wasn’t Kamala.
It’s not an exemption for one person if you say that a felony related to undermining an election stops you from being able to vote. I think that’s fair enough.
In this you’re solving 8 wordles at the same time. So green letters are in the correct place, and yellow letters are in the word but in the wrong place. It may help to focus on one at a time like a normal wordle, and see how many you can get solved before you run out of guesses.

The problem is that a judge, by virtue of being human, is incapable of impartiality.
If there were some sort of computer code that turned the legal system into a hard science that would be amazing, but I doubt that’s even possible.
When god gives you a blue shell, you use the blue shell.
