@BCLiberal229@bourassa3232 If you compare the Canadian and U.S. Constitutions, you'll see a good share of comparisons. Abraham Lincoln deserves credit for influencing, despite the name, the Confederation movement. He should receive a statue on Parliament Hill.
@PeterHRatcliffe You imply that he has only two months left before the new congress starts. Not true at all. Afterwards heβll still be president and cannot run again. Not a lame duck but a president with some limits. Finding those limits will occupy the near future
Interesting news! American History Hit, a prominent history podcast, approached me this morning. They wish to know why there is a West Virginia. This is a big deal for me since their previous guests rank among the bigger names.
@FightingOnFilm I love the bit when Picard tells his crew that about his violation of their orders: quick cut to Ryker, then to Troi, then to Data who says "to hell with our orders." Simple editing = effective joke.
I bought Berlioz's Les Troyens because of this movie. It's...difficult.
The people have spoken! The Democratic Party wins back control of both houses of Congress. They will now have the ability to challenge the Trump Administration. The next two years will be interesting, since both sides spoiling for a fight.
