Above and below, the orange, which was now under some pressure, deformed to make a nearly perfect seal against my teeth. I hadn't previously been aware of how much oxygen one needs to consume an orange, but I was made aware of it now by its sudden and ongoing lack.

Lol it's true. Federalist Papers #69 says "The President [...] would be liable to be impeached, tried, and, upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law."
Yeah, not like this. The context for #70 was the existing Articles of Conf., which had no distinct executive. Even at the Convention, they discussed the idea of a multiple exec.The real kicker? Read #69. AH argued we need not fear a tyrannical pres b/c CHECKS, BALANCES, LIABLE for crimes, treason.

RIP Robert Towne, this is still one of the most chilling summaries of the nature of greed I’ve ever encountered in fiction

White House Down (June 2013) is a prequel to Olympus Has Fallen (March 2013). It explains how the president and the head of his secret service first became friends. Channing Tatum plays young Gerard Butler, and Jamie Foxx plays young Aaron Eckhart, before he turned white

Imagine if the federal govt delayed the election in light of the decision of Trump's very eligibility now being put off until September at least. The reaction would be pretty nuts

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

Life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa is 47 years. Without HIV, it'd be 67. Only about 5% of HIV research concerns the strain that exists in Africa, despite 70% of all HIV on earth being that strain.

Bravely fighting back against those who say Trump will be kind to the people of Gaza
Trump tells his rally crowd Chuck Schumer has “become a Palestinian.” Second time this week he’s used “Palestinian” to describe non-Palestinians he dislikes as if the word is a slur. I remain skeptical of the claim that Trump becoming president next year would improve the lives of Palestinians.

Still not over shitlibs saying "Well we aren't gonna build an alternative in time by November starting now," as if no one suggested we do that years, decades ago, and as if those same shitlibs weren't sabotaging the building of said alternative all the way.

I can’t think of any way that forming a firewall on super tuesday of the 2020 election to ratfuck the M4A candidate and hand it to the oldest most anti-M4A candidate would backfire 4 years later when that really old guy gets 4 years older
anyway I can’t think of any way that unceremoniously ejecting the incumbent Dem president from the ticket, four months before the election, with no agreement on a successor, no process to pick one, and most people pushing the idea assuming it WON’T be the vice presidents, could possibly backfire
