@realBrandonGill Im very surprised that any of them haven't been yet. Seems a strange precedent to allow an autopen signature, potentially without the knowledge of the president, for thousands of pardons for blanket periods of time, not correlated to an event, specific time in a position, etc.

@RandPaul Probably when a big enough group of Senators are ready to commit political suicide by cutting entitlement spending

@ChefGruel If you think that's bad, look up gutter oil. You've been warned...

@YUGEBOLZ They had the TEMU version, Rob Ford.

@Polymarket Now do Alberta

@ArthurMacwaters We have these. We will be ok.

@paulg I don't read it that way. Still meritocracy is right, with a caveat, for OPT and H-1B visas, 1.5x the going local salary rate for that specific or an equivalent job position. That way if the foreigner truly is the best candidate, the company should be willing to pay for them.

@AVGirl4Life Because the majority of the sane NYers do not reside in NYC and had no ability to vote in that election.

Three cult followings all relevant in the news this week. We live in interesting times...

@jackunheard Common take from a first order thinker. I wouldn't expect anything else, but maybe he should stick to fighting.

@IfindRetards This was solidified for me in 2017 on a Australia/New Zealand cruise where all the Canadian couples had to tell us how awesome Trudeau was and horrible Trump was every freaking second and about everything either did.

@realBrandonGill Preach. Too many loop holes and unintended work arounds being used to take jobs away from Americans.

@spencerpratt I mean, its not always the fitness influencers and health food addicts that are crying for universal healthcare...

@cburton001 Fixed it

@RealHickory This is a prediction/betting website, not your traditional polling. Traditional polling has be far from accurate as well, so take it for what its worth

@ianbremmer Ok, how about Canada put up the ~$250 BILLION USD shortfall towards your NATO obligations (since 2006, when the 2% GDP spend goal was introduced) immediately? The benefits cut both ways...

[Evan Anderson @EvanAnderson716]

Since NATO’s 2% benchmark took hold in 2006, Canada has underspent by roughly US$250 BILLION versus that target, while America carried a disproportionate share of the alliance’s defense burden. Ottawa got to spend elsewhere. Washington helped cover the gap.

And the broader picture is even worse: if you total every year Canada spent below 2% of GDP on defense since 1950, the cumulative gap is about US$428 BILLION in inflation-adjusted dollars. Canada enjoyed the security umbrella while freeing hundreds of billions for priorities at home.

Canada wasn’t alone. In 2014, just 3 NATO allies met the 2% benchmark, while European allies collectively spent only 1.47% of GDP on defense. For decades, much of NATO enjoyed the peace dividend while the U.S. carried a vastly disproportionate share of the military burden.

We should take more money out of public schools and fund NASA. If we are learning that we have a population that will not or cannot get educated, there will always be a need for physical laborers. Seeing things like building a moon base or going to Mars will motivate children with the capacity to achieve more than just haphazardly pumping money into schools.

@hodgetwins This is a straight up advertisement for a 100% ban on immigration to the U.S.
