It's also the fact that if everyone stops using AM, the RFI pollution from EVs and other tech will balloon even more than it already has. Those frequencies are used for a lot more than just emergencies. I'd bet the push for this came from the military or the FCC.

mIRC!

Presidential Immunity would be the single worst outcome for the country, regardless of what happened to Trump himself. It would remove all oversight to the Executive branch. And it would confirm that the Supreme Court is utterly corrupt, because there is no way it could be interpreted as constitutional by reasonable people. Even hearing the case is an obscene waste of time and resources.

I'm embarrassed as an American that we are seeing any of this take place.

There is a disconnect between the statistics and reality. I am not sure where, but I suspect inflation is not being calculated correctly. It may be that lower cost items rose at a higher rate, so even though it averages out, it's harder to reduce spending. 17% doesn't seem to match the numbers I've seen for take out and home prices for example.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what's on a chart it matters how many things people had to choose to not buy or do because they couldn't afford it.

Google what exactly? I made everything up myself, you're claiming it's, an advertisement for, what, exactly? There's no real companies even mentioned. There's a radio station that comes up in British Columbia that's close, but not the same frequency.

So you've made a claim, and now you're putting the burden of proof on me. That's the kind of conspiracy theory BS that we need to leave on reddit. I'll look around, but I know you're full of shit, because I am the author. Share your citations.

Archer, he's got the case! Don't let him get away! Calm down Lana, it's empty. I hid it in Ray's wheelchair while he was distracted.

You did what now? I hid... the plutonium, Lana, it's this new thing called SPY CRAFT!

What part of extremely unstable and radioactive did you not understand?!

Well, apparently the core concept, Lana. Who do I look like, Marie Curie?

...

Wooooo!

I was waiting for someone to spot that.

BS . I made this from scratch after watching a music video I thought was funny.

And what happens when one of his Republican boot lickers buddies get into office? They can either undo it and let him go or use similar justification to imprison their political rivals even if it's not as clear cut.

It would be much better for the justice system to handle it. If they don't, then maybe Biden will need to, but as I said, that is an overall loss if he is forced to.

Couldn't be further from what I want. What I don't want to do is to give the Republicans, or any party reason to argue that whatever measures are taken against Trump are not lawful. It needs to be unambiguous that he violated the law of the land and establish that precedent so that executive action is not required, encouraged, needed or possibly even allowed. Otherwise we have accomplished literally nothing to protect our democracy, quite the opposite, in fact. Presidential decree is not law and can't be expected to survive one administration to the next.

Calling it his number 1 job is hyperbole unless it stands up in court. And if it does, I will agree with you, just show me the court case.

That's the point of checks and balances; to draw a clear separation of power.

Flexing his power to attack his political rivals is exactly what he needs to avoid doing. That is what Trump is doing and has been doing and that is the problem. If Biden has to step in, we've already failed.

It is in everyone's best interest that the current President does not do anything other than watch the justice system play out, just like every other US citizen.

There is no action that he can take that will not make things worse.

Plus masks aren't 100% barriers anyay. Still going to be exposed to some, just less. Honestly ongoing limited mask usage in large public spaces just makes sense.

I guess we'll see how much worse that is than being raised by good ol' fashion network television.

Literally having smaller cars available to buy would help. There are very few cheaper aka smaller car options, and even fewer that are marketed well. They have no reason to make small cars when they have spent decades cultivating the market for SUVs and trucks.
