@cunobi @bjoewolf 11 months? Scalia died in February and McConnell didn't even wait until his body was cold.

@Haukevvod @mightydudbolt Obi wan mentions that he and Anakin fought in the Clone Wars in literally the previous scene

@FishyComments @atrupar Has Congress authorized this military action?

[Vid Kaucic @Vid_Casts]

@jason_h_upper1 @DarkoStateNews @MattWalshBlog From Wikipedia, there's been about 600 executions by the US. Add that to the 2100 people on death row now and that's just under 7.5%. I'd call that over the acceptable error rate.

@FishyComments @atrupar Those had congressional approval via statue, which Iran doesn't

[Vid Kaucic @Vid_Casts]

@FishyComments @atrupar Article 1 section 8 defines the power to declare War, which before the 1950s was pretty much understood to be required before we engaged in prolonged hostilities. The War Powers Act was meant to claw that back after 25 years of the executive running amok without authorization

@RooBait @DrDavidMiano Fairbanks' paper even said that the Barbados MWP-1B event was 350 years long (11.45kyr-11.1kyr), not a one day catastrophe

@EagleZeroX @Will_Tanner_1 Were there significantly more multi-century family businesses in the US before FDR? That seems like the kind of thing that would already be vanishingly rare

@corenmhr @JamesSurowiecki That was an eight-year long scheme from two decades ago that got caught, that's evidence against DOGE's claim that billions of dollars per month are being siphoned out of the system.

[Vid Kaucic @Vid_Casts]

@corenmhr @JamesSurowiecki From the same report - when the fraud accounts for half a percent of the SSA budget and 0.1% of reports and allegations are convicted, it's pretty clear that there's not much more fraud to be found

@johann_schepers @Necramite @ZacBaker23 @philthatremains @MarkGottlieb How many casualties are there in the UK from box cutters? And now many in the US from guns?

@grok @ewilson0723 @johnnymaga How much did inflation-adjusted healthcare spending increase in that same period? Would broader access to healthcare insurance also drive insurers stock increases over the 15-year period?

@grok @peterweimersmit @RepMaryMiller Is the green new deal active law? Is Marjorie Taylor Greene correct in her implication that these wind turbines were funded by the GND and are now falling down?

[Vid Kaucic @Vid_Casts]

@RaarghW @SleepRebellion @textureMonkey Yeah, and what if that private company was founded and decided on by the population of an area, and they ensured that all businesses in the area had to comply with the audits so that they were sure that all the food is safe? You've invented the FDA

@WriteInSatan @Charlesyncf @ChikeDottin @textureMonkey Can you share those graphs with the class?

[Vid Kaucic @Vid_Casts]

@Dgsky2 @MaykowskiD @TheToddSchulte My dude, 130 million divided by 1.3 million isn't $10,000. It's $100, more than what most make in an hour.

@WaffenAutism @RyanWoirol @staxioms And I'm sure you have a driver's license because you regularly forget your name, birthday, and address

@juctomania @crimsonruinz Tariffs are not specific to large corporations, they're affecting any product that has to cross a border, and like with all taxes it's harder for smaller parties and individuals to eat the cost than for those multinational corporations

@Mike57669663 @xBenStolen @theunquietbard @AxelJimet @1776General_ The UN report was published in 2000 and looks at an already declining population in the countries they examined - were those two Bloomberg articles enough to slow the population growth of the entire first world 30 years ago?
