Even if you assume that it is not blocked, it is still 5. The pipe from 2 to 3 is never reached because 4 leaks out the hole in the bottom. Assume that the hole in the bottom is a flaw and 4 still leaks out the top before the pipe to 3 is reached.
I think it really means "I don't understand" and they are just projecting that onto their kids.
Even Reddit's /r/conservative was trashing this one. Trump may have actually managed to have gone too far.
I'm not sure it was ever about respectability. I think he just didn't have his shit together to actually be president. Campaigns usually start making transition plans long ahead of the election.
The other thing was that he didn't have as much of a stranglehold on the Republican Party in 2016. It was still very possible to be a politician in open opposition to Donald Trump. So when it came time to pick someone, he couldn't pick and choose proven loyalists. He just had to choose from among ranks of people who may or may not be hostile.
I'm not sure if this goes in "The Onion" or "Not The Onion".
From what I hear, one of the most important guardrails last time was the 5S system: smile, say sure, subsequently shred. Trump lacks focus and follow through for anything except his core interests, so some of the people close to him apparently got away with simply not carrying out some of his more boneheaded demands.
I'd like to see Idiocracy cited a lot less often, given that a good chunk of the plot boils down to eugenics from wealth (poor people had lots of kids, rich people stopped having kids).
Sex strikes have been used more recently as well to end gang conflicts, wars, and other violence.
Joe didn’t deliver, and Kamala didn’t promise anything new.
Joe delivered the Inflation Reduction Act. It invests hundreds of billions of dollars into various climate initiatives over 10 years. That includes renewable generation, grid storage, EV, and nuclear generation. Then there's infrastructure investment, which included much needed investments in transit and intercity rail.
44% children, 26% women, 30% men. Gaza is about half under 18, so that's nearly randomly killing people. That said, these are only confirmed fatalities, so presumably susceptible to bias.
The report is here
The CFPB and the DEA are a wee bit different, though. You can be angry at the latter and still want the protections of the former.
