But Sheldon is autistic and Monk has obsessive compulsive disorder. It's wild that your mom is comparing you to two characters with neurodivergences by saying you're like them and then denying your neurodivergence.

Weird is claiming you are Jamaican, when you are Indian

I get that your lily-white supremacist mind can't comprehend this, but it's called being interracial. It happens when two people of different races love each other very much and make a third person. People who are mixed like this often identify with both of their races and participate in traditions from both sides.

Truly the demons run when he goes to war.

No, Demons Run when a good man goes to war. Good men don't need rules and you don't want to find out why the Doctor has so many.

Sometimes they don't even make it to prison.

I also wonder how much energy campaigning was taking from his ability to be president.

There's a reason they stuck with the hook

There's a little Captain Tuttle in all of us.

He absolutely should be sentenced to prison for years.

I'm just acknowledging that the conspiracy minded will claim he was murdered regardless of the cause of death and make him into a martyr.

I think the number who martyr him at a death of natural causes will be far lower than if he dies in prison or gets assassinated.

That's not going to happen while Trump is still around. As long as the cult of personality exists, people will follow it for their own gains.

The only way this ends is Trump dying of natural causes leaving the maga movement divided among the various claimed successors, weakening it to the point of irrelevance.

Huh, TIL

It's a Doctor Who quote. The Doctor is mad that the prime minister has a retreating alien spaceship shot down so he asks an aide "Don't you think she looks tired?" to trigger a crisis and force an election.

"Don't you think he looks tired?"

North Korea was a "police action" where the US was enforcing a UN resolution.

We didn't declare war against North Vietnam, we provided aid and troops to South Vietnam after some North Vietnamese ships allegedly attacked US ships (the first incident happened but the second didn't).

First Iraq was also enforcing a UN resolution, as was Kosovo in the 90s.

Afghanistan was a response to an attack. The US actually invoked NATO Article 5 after 9/11.

Second Iraq was funded as part of the global war on terror because of the W Bush administration's lies.

It's important to keep in mind that at some point the lawyers decided that the POTUS has a right to deploy troops without Congress declaring war and it's fine as long as Congress approves the budget.

And he still had to haggle with conservative Dems to get them to be in favor of legislation or reach across the aisle to avoid the filibuster altogether because he had exactly 60 Dems.

Unrelated to your question but - what's the story behind your flair?

It's important to remember that he had a conservative Dem majority and in the Senate barely had enough votes to beat a filibuster (60 votes is needed to stop it). So for the ACA he had to cave to the likes of Lieberman on the public option or it wouldn't get passed. He couldn't get anyone to agree on where to send the prisoners in Guantanamo and had to drop that.

He did reduce deployments in Iraq. He did bring down the deficit. He did preside over the repeal of don't ask don't tell and celebrated the legalization of gay marriage.

He did make a lot of changes, he just never had the ability to make changes as deep as we wanted.

No, there's two separate issues. The oxidation issue only affects a small number of chips, the over voltage issue caused by a bug in the microcode is what they're trying to patch.

The bug only impacts chips 65 watts and over.
