We do not have a legal president and we don't have a legal precedent for this case.

I'd say Red Faction fits the bill better. They just took them to Mars under the false pretense of work and pay but they beat them when they got there.

If I recall, the prison planet in Riddick was man-made. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong today though.

The whole of War on Errorism may have been correct but I think it was a tad too optimistic with the line "a million people are smart, smarter than one," because, obviously, they aren't.

So, you would back a military coup at this point?

I mean, I'm not saying it'd be worse but, yeah, the US is well done.

Well, no, they protect the "The Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic" and shortly thereafter "and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."

So, by that logic, 'speaking out' is explicitly against the same oath. Unless of course it's an unlawful order but that's only against the Geneva Convention. Good luck getting some protection there when you decide not to gas the migrants.

Probably didn't get their mail in votes counted, even if FVAP did their job and got them everything.

The military is supposed to be apolitical and not get involved. They're not elected, so they don't attempt to shift public policy... CONGRESS is supposed to advocate for things like this.

Somewhat controversially, an egg.

Like, a good, over medium egg? Okay I can do that. I hate a super runny, the yolk blasts you in the face like an unapologetic lover and leaves you to clean yourself up, egg in my burger.

In fact, anything that's made with your Instagram reel in mind. I don't want greasy buns, dripping yolks, and sauces pouring out. If you made a good, juicy burger you wouldn't need all that.

Every now and then, I just want a circle to start off with. A circle will capture 97% of the area I need before I grind down with the lasso. Can I draw a circle freehand? No, that shit is more like an oval or an abomination against God.

Is it enough to get me to start paying for Photoshop? No. I've even got it installed on my work computers that have Photoshop in case of licensing issues (it's happened more than once). But I am a user and I have requested it unironically in the past.

So, beat me up after class but the sample size is at least one.
