Don't make me pull out the history book. I'LL DO IT! I'VE DONE IT BEFORE! Remember Canada is the offspring of the British Empire, just like the US is. They are just better at hiding it.

Yea, no warp flight, no first contact with the Vulcans, no Federation. The Alpha and Beta quadrants would have been a very different place. Remember the Vulcans and the Andorians were quite hostile to each other until the Humans came around and were able to get them to work together against...

Probably not a good idea to ask, Axaday. Canada might have a reputation for niceness, but they have some pretty nasty skeletons in their closet

So the trick is to just not go back to Idaho then... Doubt the state where the abortion occurs would allow extradition in this case.

Or not, Paladin. Bulk of the country supports same sex marriage, and it's not a major issue most people, outside of religious zealots and actual gay people, think much about. Heck, in 2025 the Governor and the Senate of Michigan will both be controlled by Democrats and the Republicans will...

Indeed. Assuming pre-crime becomes a crime.... There ARE ways to use this for good, but I have little faith that it would be used for such. Instead of "We predict you may soon commit a crime, so we will find constructive ways to steer you in another direction that will benefit both you and...

Well, Trump DOES want to devalue the dollar in a poor attempt at bringing manufacturing back, so that checks out. The rich will be able to move their investments to other currencies before he does, so they'll be fine, but the bulk of us....

Disagree with the pardon(actually, disagree with numerous things Biden has done), but can't say I'm not smiling a little at the Republican's getting a big middle finger from Biden on his way out.

I'm not 100% sure on that. The Supreme Court has been a bit of a wildcard since Trump left office the first time. They'll tow the line on one case and then make a surprise decision on the next. We shall see. Not sure why the President would even have the authority to force congress into...

That's exactly what it is. They morphed from from authoritarian-socialist to authoritarian-capitalist over the past 40 years.

Military will be to busy fighting fellow Americans to worry about invading foreign soil at the rate we're going. They are already talking about using the National Guard from red states to enforce government policy in blue states. 'Bout as close to civil war as we've been in a century and a half.

That might actually be the case in MD. There are a lot of people with a lot of disposable income in parts of MD. I live in MD and I've been tempted to get myself a kei van, but those are Japanese, not German and I don't exactly have the cash on hand to pull the trigger(even though, price wise...

Cars, most likely.

Funny thing is the 14th amendment is pretty clear that birthright citizenship is valid. It seems pretty clear cut to me. Be interested to see what kind of mental gymnastics they will have to go through to say it says something different than what it says. It also means that all illegal aliens...

I can't help but to feel at least a little sorry for them, assuming they realize they made a mistake and don't double down on supporting the one who put them in the camps. Now I do feel MORE sorry for the ones in the same situation who voted against Trump, but still I can have compassion for...

That only works for so long. When you have a government trifecta and things continue to get worse, it becomes more and more difficult to shift the blame. Even Fox News and its more extreme cousins can only deceive so much. It wasn't the Fox viewers that allowed Trump to win, it was the...

The only silver lining is that the hardships MIGHT just wake enough people up so that we can start dismantling the far right machines that have lead us here. You can only push lower class citizens so far before they fight back. It's gonna get ugly, it's gonna get violent and it all could have...

The economy is likely the only thing that will save us. IF Trump does what he says he'll do on the economy, it will drive up inflation(due to purposely devaluing the dollar while simultaneously implementing tariffs AND causing a labor shortage due to the deportations) It will hurt enough people...

Proof that he doesn't care about military effectiveness at all. I know our numbers in the military are extremely low overall(last statistic I could see was around 9000 individuals, but that number was from 2016), but the military already has a recruitment problem. Kicking out a bunch of...

Kinda hard to do when nearly a half of the population is buying what the fascist is saying.
