I really really hope you're wrong.

I don't mind working with the US even with Trump leading, but the EU is clearly a natural partner. They're right at our doorstep.

I don't think the killing them all part is necessarily a motivator. Perhaps more so that solar and wind have become price competitive, and that investing in renewables have the additional benefit of helping China lead in these crucial areas.

An unusual counterpoint. The 'krompomat' the Russians wasn't really proven, and at this stage I think if they threaten him with releasing whatever Trump can just go 'LOL like I give a fuck. You seen the shit I did to their face? They still voted for me!'

Things will have to be really really bad for MAGA to notice and then actually acknowledge issues. Even then they might use excuses and blame others.

COVID handling was objectively terrible, with plenty of examples of mismanagement, but they've basically completely forgotten about it and the 'mismanagement' they might point to are the availability of vaccines, or the ability of workplaces to make people wear masks.

They can also completely ignore the blatant corruption with employing close family members as advisors and diplomats, while on the other side, even leaning on a family name to get a job was too much. Don't forget that they've also come to the conclusion than Jan 6 wasn't bad.

This would be a fun bit of justice porn after seeing Trump get away with everything.

I don't think you can pardon a civil case?

On the other hand, it might just be the first sign of the naked corruption we can expect to see more of.

No, the path to an election win isn't to appeal to the far right cult and hope that enough of them switch sides. They appealed to people switching sides this election and it failed miserably.

Some ways needs to be found to energise your own base, and find a crisis to run on, real or exaggerated.

There are many other things too of course, but this isn't an essay. Last thing I'd say is that just because one side embraced lunacy, it doesn't mean the other side has to

When people have moved to leaving candy out, perhaps kids thought that not having them out means you're not participating. Also, when many houses have left them out, for efficiency, it makes sense to only go to those houses.

I'm glad to hear that the sign helped. Shows that some kids aren't just about getting as much candy as possible but also having a bit of fun.

Most people understand others have things to do. At least you explained the might shift part.

If this happens, push the ball of your feet up. The ball of you feet is the front of your foot connected to the toes, helped me many times.

Does this mean that if you discriminate minorities as a groups, there's no recourse? They probably can point to how the figures as they have, and they can't submit a joint case.

The minimum wage for service staff in the US is bonkers, and a great example of 'if they could pay you less, they would'. I don't know how often employers actually pay above 2.13 when they don't have to, but I've read a lot more about being paid 2.13 plus tips than above that.
