There is no scenario where China is better off with Trump. The destabilizing of the Middle East is hurting everyone. Not to mention his ridiculous tarrifs. Russia wants him because the Iran war has forced some people to remove their sanctions on Russian oil and is helping to fund their war.

    The party system is not a design, it is the inevitable outcome of our system. Things pass with support. How do you get support? You do favors for others in exchange for their support. Eventually the same guys keep supporting each other so they just band together for every vote and voila the party system was born. 3 parties can’t exist because it fractures the support too much to win.

    There was always a plan to stop it. I don’t know who it was but they delayed calling in the national guard. Whether it was the governor or Trump idk but the response was delayed because they didn’t want the people to get hurt which is absolutely disgusting

    Edit: ok so they dropped the ball on multiple fronts but from my understanding it was ultimately Trump who withheld the guard. DC Guard responds to the president, not the governor. Also the requests by Congress for immediate aid were not communicated to the national guard, meaning Trump had his lackeys delay the response.

    I don’t disagree but from my understanding the affected areas were O Hare, Newark and a couple other airports. Those are extremely large airports and have flights coming from all over the country. I think they were trying to mitigate any new flights flying over their airpspace without having comms so they grounded everyone.

    So I don’t want TOO much info because I want my answers to be genuine but I want to know a couple of the questions that I should start thinking about now. For example I know one of the questions will be asking about repetitive tasks. I’m terrible about thinking of things in the moment so I want to be able to accurately explain some of the weird stuff I do. Are there any other questions like that?

     

    I’ll preface this by saying I’m an American who hates Trump, his regime, and everything they stand for.

    Every president has done some version of Venezuela and they always justify it with some Bs so I got to thinking what would I do in a situation where I was president and my intelligence community showed me proof that some dictator in a country that doesn’t really like us was creating nukes. Assuming you have all the correct information and it’s 100% true of course.

    You can go around and around saying you need more info and all that. Let’s just assume they are building nukes and you know they will use it as leverage to harm your people economically or militarily
