I’m surprised New Jersey isn’t on the list.

Air traffic controllers have become the ones who typically end government shutdowns. Once they stop working, the impact typically gets Congress to quickly compromise.

It is too bad they don’t accept new bodies.

Once you start hitting telephoto lengths, the lens generally matches the price of a current camera.

Yeah. I went to the Holocaust Museum with a Trump supporter. The cognitive dissonance was astounding.

Given that he was blocked from leaving the country, that’s probably a good idea.

So how long will it take for someone to find something in sharia law that is in Alabama’s state laws?

It has always been hit or miss and has been given to warmongers who happen to negotiate for peace at one point.

And now to see how long it will last.

She also has a decent set of songs built around her coming to grips with that her unhappiness may be more due to herself than others.

She also seems like an aspirational version of a lot of women.

It depends on how mentally there they are. If they are, go through anti-scam strategies and make sure they have family to bounce questions off of.

If dementia is forming, you should probably have a frank family conversation with how to handle someone who is no longer fully there.

I wasn’t going to install the app on my phone, so that made the transition easier.

The systems are outdated, but a large reason why flight schedules take longer now is because of airport congestion.

The first Trump administration did the same thing to Iran that this administration is trying to do to Venezuela, get the weaker nation to do something that would be construed as a casus belli to justify regime change. Trump wants to be a wartime president without being the aggressor.

Maduro may be bleeding support, but Venezuela can’t win a war against the USA and Trump is looking for any excuse to go to war. Having an American ship parked off shore should be enough to pull in some patriotic support. However, any aggression against the USA now could be used as an excuse for regime change.

Maduro using the USA as a bogeyman is a lot different from going to war with the USA.

At this point, the USA is looking for an excuse to go to war and Maduro has backed down from a lot of positions to keep the USA from having any excuses.

The Fifth Republic is inherently flawed. It creates two executives that come about from two different democratic mandates.

You also don’t have a political tradition of separation of powers which allows for some presidential autonomy in selecting political appointments in France. The French President is trying to assert his presidential right in selecting appointees from his party and the French Parliament is asserting tradition that the Prime Minister should be chosen by the largest coalition in Parliament.

It is messy because the Fifth Republic is messy. There shouldn’t be a politically important President and Prime Minister.

It was a series of families moving beyond the land they knew because they were pushed out by other families. The response to your discussion would be “Because I don’t want to get stabbed in the face by Kenny.”

I’ve got a job that interfaces with government employees, so I see a lot of incompetence.

I’ve also seen how actions have been made to improve over time and that a lot of the problems with some government agencies is just a staffing issue where they can’t attract qualified people because the pay sucks.

I hope not. I also see that one of the few smart things Maduro has done recently is to not give the USA an excuse to attack Venezuela.

It feels similar to what happened in the first Trump administration against Iran.
