I don't think you understand American politics. If Democrats control 60% of the Senate, they still do not have the majority needed to pass laws. They need to control at least 67% of the Senate to pass laws. Otherwise Republicans can block their vote. That's why the Democrats could not convict Trump on impeachment even though they controlled more than 50% of the Senate at the time.

That's incorrect. There's a lot of obstruction from Republicans to allow Democrats to do anything since most decisions required 2/3rds vote to pass. Democrats could not convict Trump of impeachment with 57% of the vote since they needed more Republicans to push it over 2/3rds.

Tasker. Pretty much programming your Android to automate things. Such a powerful app.

So he sued her friends, why didn't he try using the ex-wife that actually had the abortion? Sounds like a real piece of shit guy.

I'm pretty sure it's still very popular for a lot of Republicans considering that conservatives have only won the popular vote once in the last 35-ish years. The only time they won was George W. Bush's second term after the events of 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

When I went to college early 2000's, my SSN was printed directly on my student ID card. It was the unique ID that the university used for each student. Then like a year or two later, they required all the students to get new IDs without the SSN printed on them.

There used to be an S-Mart in southern California too, but it closed down. It was a Korean supermarket similar to H-mart.

I feel like disqualifying him would be more advantageous to the Republicans than the Democrats, since he would bite into voters that would lean conservative. What advantage would this be for the Democrats?

Considering that one of the events will be in Oklahoma City, maybe they want us to use planes instead of cars.

My dyslexia mixed the fu and the ha on my first read of the title.

I wonder if the secret service would need to be locked in the cell with him.

WTF????

I just watched the video. It's about 5:30 into the video. Everything leading up to him shooting the dog is not justified at all.
