Biden's dealing with the ramifications of his hubris. He thought he would win another term, then thought Harris would win, and could continue softballing this war and now that he knows he's out of time. If he doesn't do absolutely everything he can to open up resources for Ukraine now then Putin wins. Putin will most likely win anyway now but this at least will be something.

They actively donate to anti lgbtq causes. They are explicitly the one I avoid because of this.

I don't have the 666 to spend but I think the Gestational Operation Practice Abortion Clinic, or GOP Abortion Clinic for short, would be a swell name.

In Ohio you have to vote early at the county election board and last I checked it was only open regular business hours. For me that means 30 minute drive in, pay for parking, 30 minute drive home. Waiting until election day I can walk to my piling place in 10 minutes, wait in line for 30-45,then walk home in 10 minutes. For a lot of places it's not as easy as voting on election day.

My idea to address unfit elderly drivers is once you start claiming SS you have to take the physical driving test every 2 years then every year once you turn 80. 69 might not be old for some people but could be debilitating for others.

To be fair it is true that Schumer and Pelosi are running the country. It's kind of their job being elected officials and all.

It's the same general process you as you described. Us Americans are just kind of dicks.

Make the mandatory minimum fine 105% of the estimated revenue.

This is how it is supposed to be taught. Common core has this exact quality of numbers explicitly shield or in primary school curriculum. Numbers are not static objects but the composite of infinite functions that can be used to determine the value in whatever base number system you want. Next time someone says school didn't teach math remind them that the US is something like 30th in the world at math and when the department of education tried to do something about it parents said it was too hard to understand and we just kept falling backwards.
