You demonstrated that a US President has certain powers in restricted fields of application. Nobody ever doubted that. The role does however not have universal power and is checked and limited by other integral parts of US American democracy. Parts that are vital and not meant to just go away. The exact opposite indeed as the oldest democracy in the world is very keen on the US President not having unchecked, absolute, dictatorial power.
Most interestingly really now because you didn't spent a single thought when you wrote it: edy • November 9, 2024 8:29 AM GMT Cider • November 9, 2024 8:27 AM GMT It's a federal system. Something you should be familiar with. Which does invalidate "Not going away is the core principle of US American democracy." how exactly? |

didn't spend, sorry.

Who knows what trump can do with a friendly supreme court, his limitations are up to them

A bit like the Labour lot here. Sometimes democracy means the people you don't agree with are in charge.

The liberalist high status type handbook is back.

Democrats made the election pivotal on 'saving' democracy. We'll see how much they like democracy when they are on the receiving end of an electoral battering over the coming months and years. My hopes are not high, it has to be said.

What undemocratic behaviours do you envision?
|
|
By:
Depends on how the counselling goes.
|
|
By:
If apparently not even hunting for election officials in Congress counts as undemocratic for you, we must be in for quite something.
|

By:
I already told you, I don't know. I also told you, I don't expect them to give up after the incessant effort to prevent Trump from regaining political power. This will be my last response to you, carry on asking banal questions if it helps your own coping with the outcome.

By:
Thought you prided yourself in being an above average predictor of such stuff too and then you can't even give me rough estimates of undemocratic stuff. Bit sad, that.

Any question to do with the economy she answered with some drivel about being middle class and having a nice lawn. She sounded like an idiot in all her unscripted interviews and she didn't explain her policies. The Bret Baier interview was a car crash. It was like she had a set of stock answers which were all rubbish answers. Of course stock answers are fine if they are superb like mine, but hers were seriously rubbish.

The person behind Ronald's account is meant to be Welsh. You will have to explain to them what this thing called "sunshine" is.
|
|
By:
Wales has never invaded Poland.
|
|
By:
You think Russia invaded Poland because they wanted some sunshine?
|
|
By:
i assumed you were talking about Germany being sunnier than Wales.
|
|
By:
That too, which is why Russia occupied large parts of Germany for a bunch of decades and then demanded to get to keep Kaliningrad even after that. It also isn't a coincident that Russia chose to occupy Ukraine's Crimea and its beaches.
Russia is grim. Why do you think they have such huge problems with alcoholism? |
|
By:
I think they like having access to a warm water port.
|
|
By:
That's what they pretend is the reason. Turns out their fleet is doing just fine from the port of Novorossiysk.
It's the beaches they really wanted. |
|
By:
How do we know they are pretending? Are we mind readers?
|
|
By:
No, but one can think real hard and read the clues. You wouldn't understand.

You need to watch some Death in Paradise or Case Closed (sometimes known as Detective Conan) to learn about masterful deduction.

There isn't enough paper in Germany to print ballot papers in case of a snap election. What have they done with it all? Did they have to burn it to stay warm?
|
|
By:
Yes.
That's what happens if you try to be friends with someone and rely on their gas and they arbitrarily first throttle and then completely stop deliveries in an effort to blackmail you with frozen people. Little did they know that Germans are inventive people that immediately developed working technology that can convert paper into heat energy. |

In his post election speech congratulating Donald Trump and promising a smooth transition of power, I thought Joe Biden was more lucid and coherent than he had been in the past four years.
He even looked quite spry walking to the lectern. |

By:
He looked happy about Kamala's defeat.

Not posting that for you after I dug it out, SamuelMertensBertens.

It's ok. Extra spacers don't deserve my wisdom anyway.

By:
Hopefully that will teach people like George.

What am i learning? Probably too long in the tooth tbh, there is no hope

Someone somewhere, possibly with a history in typesetting, taught you the habit of making two spaces between the end of one sentence and the start of a new one. This is a somewhat unfortunate habit for users who like to use the quote function of this forum as the software on here has a bug that gets triggered by exactly that.
So in the above example the user SamuelMertensBertens tried to quote you at 5:06 PM GMT. However, since you used two spaces after your first sentence, it triggered the bug at that point of the quote and also ate SamuelMertensBertens' reply. This is often doubly frustrating. On one side because people spend a lot of time thinking of and typing eloquent replies. Work that then looks lost and all the effort appearing to have been in vain, although the resident forum genius somewhat recently discovered that the first 250 characters of such an eaten post can be recovered in some circumstances. On the other side it is also frustrating for everyone else because they do miss out on getting to read the wisdom that had been prepared, but ended up getting eaten by a forum bug. There used to be a workaround, to my knowledge even first discovered by SamuelMertensBertens himself back in the day, but ironically that workaround stopped working eventually without the bug itself having gotten fixed. When I think about that, I feel like forum staff deliberately did that to troll us. So...I know old habits are hard to break, but maybe it sheds some light on why replies to you sometimes only contain broken quotes and why people can get frustrated. |

When I say in the first paragraph that the forum bug get's triggered by exactly the situation of two spaces between the end of one sentence and the start of a new one, that's actually inaccurate. The bug is triggered whenever two consecutive spaces are encountered. It can also be two spaces between any random words like is the case there.

By:
Just copy a long post in case you get hit with the bug
That way you can paste it back in and post |

Bye bye thread, see you on the next one. Newsom seems to be campaigning already to me

With any luck this one will be settled before 2028.
