I lol'd at 'artificial money.'
we got us an expert here
lol political stuff.
I'm assuming if this was a dem party suing a rep pres, it would be ok then? Thats what it's kind of sounding like with all of this rep vs dem stuff.
As one of the few "reps" (i'm more anti-dem then anything else, though value based I am) on this board, i'll be man enough to say regardless of what side it's coming from, suing the pres has got to be one of the dumbest things.
I would like to hear more foreign people chime in on this, but from what i've heard from the few foreigns i know, like rata said, obama went from being highly regarded to being shit-tier below even bush.
So, there's a strategy in game theory called the grim trigger. The main part is you have two players playing a cooperative game, both with major punishments they can use if the other side doesn't cooperate. The idea is if one player decides to stop cooperating, then the other loses the incentive to cooperate and starts using its punishment. As bad as people think the political system is now, I'll be shocked if this doesn't open the door to Democrats doing the same thing next time the Republicans have a president..
THANKS OBAMA
I got news for you bro, prior to 9/11 and once the war in Iraq became unpopular the Dems used the filibuster like crazy.
The only thing that's changed in this brinksmanship cockfight is that new things are being held hostage, like the government paying its bills.
Where's them Repubs at who like to bitch about taxpayer dollars?
Also doesn't the president have to ask the congress before taking any decision or,something?
There are certain things that he has authority to unilaterally enact on his own, with limitations. For example his minimum wage increase a couple of months back; he can declare a minimum wage for contractors in the employ of the US government, but he can't set a national minimum wage for business sectors who are not employed by the federal government.
I thought they were started with WWI.
I think problems just change. Obviously partisanship might have gotten worse, but look at it this way: least yall aren't still hanging nigroes, castrating gays, and having women cook bare foot in the kitchen, right?
