Decades later and I just realized what this meant: 'DEW-DROP INN'. Apparently I'm very slow.

I'm Canadian. I live in Toronto. When the air show isn't in progress and I hear military aircraft flying over downtown I tend to get a bit nervous. Thanks, America.

"Flooding the zone" with this stuff might be in order.
Post from Mark R Elias 

"I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Mark's question to America.gov

Does the president have the authority over the conduct of federal elections,?

Answer:
The Constitution does not give the president the power to run or set the rules for federal elections. States have the main job if administering them. Congress can change most of those rules by statue. The president's role is to enforce existing federal law, not to replace state or congressional election rules.

Tucker isn't stupid, as many are claiming. At all. He's a lying opportunist (recall when he claimed antifa broke his front door, etc). Rees-Mogg is a disaster capitalist; he makes money betting on and ruining his country. In another time his head would be on a pike.

If this is legal, it needs to be made illegal. There is clearly something broken when clear monopolies are allowed to flourish. The fact that this is inherently a right-wing operation is beside the point, NO company should have this much power over media. This is going to be a bloodbath for workers

At only 43 years old, John F. Kennedy became the youngest person elected president. His inaugural address challenged Americans with the famous call to ask what they could do for their country. It would last just 1,037 days. Why is Trump trying to destroy the memorial to such a great patriot?

At the very least she should have her sentence commuted to life in prison. Forcing a second execution attempt is the very essence of 'cruel & unusual' punishment. And shouldn't a 'double jeopardy' rule prohibit multiple attempts at execution?
