This map, but for coal, tells a far worse story.

I stole one of those huge rolls from college once. It dispenses just fine on the floor.

There are so many Java libraries that I would probably set on fire if they were physically tangible in any way.

More than just one, but yeah, the “overall flow” is set in law by acts of Congress, and only an act of Congress can stop that flow, not the executive branch.

There have been U S. officials that confirmed this has happened though.

I’m not even arguing that it’s effective, just that it happened.

But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel, it’s the only thing he can (legally, not politically) do since the aid is mandated by law and his executive power doesn’t extend to negating laws.

I’m glad you confirmed that, but I’d be utterly surprised if it was any other reason.

Maybe if he forgets half the shit he’s said that directly contradicts the other half, and doesn’t try to nuke a hurricane over Mexico.

Larger population means larger representation. If you say the Netherlands only has about 100,000 idiots, that’s roughly half a percent of their population.

Half of a percent of the US population is over 1.5 million. And I promise you, we have a waaaaaaay higher percentage of idiots than that.

Yestsin won with 58 and 54 percent of the vote in his two elections, hardly a ‘landslide’:

Putin’s lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.

Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:

Ukraine feeds a lot of the world, and it’s in everyone’s best interest that it keeps doing that.

I’m pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.

Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).

if you’re actually interested, even the considerable powers granted in a state of emergency are defined by laws passed by Congress:

Um, no? In case you forgot, he championed a reform bill that got killed by Republicans:

It seems very likely that this uncharacteristically conservative move was calculated to produce these results. The house won’t pass any pro immigration laws, so letting the SC strike this down would let the administration essentially leave things where they were and say “can’t do anything else oh well”, effectively removing the topic from election discourse and putting the ball firmly in the Republican court, who won’t be able to get anything past the Senate.

Senegalese refugees comprise the bulk of the migrants, and all sorts of things like drought and commodity prices (due to the invasion Ukraine among other things) are driving their economy into the ground. In the end, climate change is definitely a non negligible component of the problem which is only going to get worse.

I guess the U.S. just calls those Marines.
