Considering TASS was among the few outlets allowed to attend, I think this was a performance for an audience of one.

I think in Texas it would be criminally negligent homicide, but I doubt the conservative justice system there will punish anyone for intentionally not preventing a deadly disease.

What would be the purpose of US support in Europe if not defending against Russia?

The US presence in Europe exists to facilitate US power projection, if we are not stopping Russian advancement then there is no reason for host countries to allow US bases in their territory.

Americans will be paying more for everything. Domestic suppliers have free reign to raise prices to match.

The population of the US has no appetite for invading Canada, many of us have close friends and family there, we consider Canada a friend and ally and Trumps hissy fit doesn’t change that.

One of the best things I was taught growing up was a deep love and appreciation for the natural world and that the best way to appreciate wildlife was from afar for both the safety of me and the animal.

The “90% of medical claims” is such a weaselly metric. Yeah, if you have a small-cost claim like your annual physical or basic x-rays they pay, but if you need anything that costs money, that would push you over your deductible, they deny. Saying 90% just isn’t meaningful if most claims are small-dollar.

Well, no. The OG framers only thought the owner class should have any power, thats why only white wealthy male landowners could vote.

The constitution only protects billionaires i guess.
