I think they have systems in place to stop EMPs from affecting and potentially taking down AirForce One, and nuclear blasts create EMPs that if left otherwise unshielded would do exactly that.

Canadians being impolite? Them's war words from the northern neighbors.

That's an interesting point. When I first read the quote from Trump about 2 dolls instead of 30, I thought he was just out of touch - I mean are dolls still a popular thing in today's day and age? Is he just out of touch?

But no, there's a reason for the usage of the term. Quite an interesting point, especially considering the demographic that largely voted for him this second election was younger men.

Oh gotcha! Your comment made me realize I had Mr. Roger's confused with Bob Ross anyway, and was still wrong 😅. Thanks for clearing it up!

Wasn't Mr. Roger's a green beret in Vietnam though? Wouldn't these people idolize that aspect of him?

Ah so it's the perceived implicit cruelty of the whole thing. I can understand that viewpoint for sure and how it would be quite off putting for many. Thank you for the explanation.

I'm curious about this take. I've heard it a lot but never gotten an explanation on it. Can ypu elaborate?

Genuine question: who exactly would do that? Like I understand their are bailiffs who act as "police" in the courtroom but who would be the ones who physically arrested the Administration officials? The police or other members of the executive branch?

I feel like that whole concept flew the coop a looong time ago

Water regulations are all over the place when it comes to the different states. Sometime in the 90s ( I think it was then ) new regulations were put in place to reduce the maximum allowable water usage per flush of a toilet and the maximum allowed flow of gallons per minute for all plumbing fixtures.

They were put in place to reduce water waste but many people Trumps age disagree with the regulations due to the effect - like he mentioned - of most showers being limited to x gpm and the perceived change in the resultant shower quality.

Like most regulations manufacturers just make stuff that passes the most stringent requirments and sell them everywhere, so even if your state doesn't require a 1.5gpm shower head you might only be able to buy 1.5gpm shower heads.

I think this is what he's trying to change anyway.
