This would just setup Vance for eternal president though. He doesn’t walk away from that.

I don’t think you understand the command structure of the US Armed forces.

You’re absolutely correct.

Rank and file grunts may be gargling nazi balls, but the officer pool are often college educated and will not hand over America to a dictatorship. It’ll take a decade just to fire all the officers who won’t follow his illegal orders. Another decade to reform into a stazi.

The secret police will be local police forces organized under a Fed Dept probably Homeland or ICE.

How is Trump the cure for any of that?

So Reagan’s two terms and his VPs term had nothing to do with it? The creation of the CNN 24 hour news cycle and the need to fill it had nothing to do with it? Decades of attacking public school budgets had nothing to do with that? Why the focus on Obama? These problems started 30 years before he was elected.

Obama didn’t start Fox news bro. Obama didn’t defund education and get rid of civics classes. Obama didn’t cut taxes on the billionaire class and corporations. Obama didn’t sell those same billionaires and conglomerates the major news outlets. The voting population in America only know what they’re told because they’re never taught to think critically. Look at the rise of disinformation regardless of political ideology. Look at the rise in scams.

This was my experience in Paris, but not in Nice, even away from the tourist traps like Vizille I was very much encouraged to speak my broken French so I could learn. If they spoke English they’d apoligize for a dropped participle and then pull out a word like pugillistic.

Parisians hate everyone, including the French.

He did however trip on the bar on his way out though

You don’t have a lot of confidence in five year olds

Explain like I’m five.

I work in a very large tech company. I curse like a fucking sailor around some people and use my church voice around others. Expletives lose their punch when used too often.

I wouldn’t apologize or bring it up further. The time for an apology about language spoken in the heat of the moment is as soon after as possible.

The best apology is a change in behavior.

Good luck navigating this, you can see how contentious a topic it is by the comments in this thread. But it boils down to know your audience, and believe people when they tell you they have a problem.

There’s CHOCOLATE in my peanut butter!!!

I just started vaping more AND smoking because I could vape in my dorm during winter…

Likely longer as the “stop the steal” nonsense lawsuits start rolling through

I cannot believe that’s even a thing. It’s bad enough they take my tax dollars and don’t feed the kids with it, but an online charge on top?! Bullshit
