See backwards in time from the exact location I'm standing.
How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?
I'll just visit Egypt and take a look back in time and see.

If the US leaves NATO, Europe would lose a lot of support.

If the US stays in NATO, they would refuse to support them anyway and could use their veto power to stop any potential action.

If they're not going to have the support of the US military either way, and the US staying in NATO could prevent the organization from taking any action at all, it may be in the best interest of Europe for the US to leave NATO so they can't cripple it from within.

reveal concerns that the US faces a crisis

I'm so tired of these half baked headlines.
The US has been in a crisis for A FUCKING DECADE at this point.

It's very clear where she got her name, but it's the reason for the difference in spelling.

They're not the same person, district of Columbia is named after the female personification of the United States, Columbia.

They didn't make a "mistake", they got caught intentionally sending an innocent man to a concentration camp and played it off as a mistake. They don't care that he's innocent, but now they really want to make him pay because his case exposed their game.
They'll send him somewhere worse next time just to use him as an example to anyone else trying to resist the purge.

No, that implies Trump is doing any kind of governing whatsoever.
He's just there for his signature.

Man I really struggled with the beginning of that headline, I was trying to figure out what AC⚡DC had to do with all of this

Outrage generates clicks, clicks generate revenue.
We're both here because we're disgusted by the headline so it obviously works.

Be careful about this kind of accusation.
Remember when Reddit collectively "caught" the Boston bomber and accused an innocent missing man who tuned out to be dead?
Not only did they royally fuck up by accusing the wrong guy, but they brought public harassment onto a grieving family of a man who was found dead in a river a few days later.

Looks like Trump isn't the only Chicken.

Make sure you buy one with enough cooling power to cool the room it's in. If it's a small bedroom you'll want 5,000-8,000 BTU and if it's a larger area like a living room you'll probably want 12,000-14,000 BTU.
I just put a 12,000 BTU unit in my living room because it's open to the kitchen and it's about 550ft².
A good rule of thumb is 20 BTU per Ft², so my 550ft² living room/kitchen area would require at least 11,000 BTU.

You can only drop something so many times before it actually breaks, and we never really fixed the cracks caused by the civil war.
Reconstruction ended early after Johnson took office and as a result we didn't end segregation in the south until a century after the war ended.
There are people alive now who still remember segregation and some of them liked it that way. And now they're empowered, both metaphorically and literally, thanks to the gerontocracy we've created.
We're going to tear ourselves apart trying to undo 60 years of progress over the next 4 years.
I feel like if we pull through this as an intact nation it's not going to be recognizable as the nation we grew up in until long after we're all gone. It's going to take generations to clean up this mess.

Trump fawns over Kim so hard I wouldn't be surprised if he just provides nukes to NK if Kim asks him nicely.

It's very easy for a low vehicle like a sedan or coupe to get stuck on the tracks, They have a low ground clearance and if it wasn't perfectly between the rails it likely High-centered and got stuck and even if somehow it did manage to fit between the rails it would be very difficult to keep it straight going backwards.
Never drive on railroad tracks for any reason.

That sounds like something he would do on July 4th

"1 death is a tragedy, 1 million deaths is a statistic"

that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.

If he didn't want soldiers that were excited to be there, then why did he have them screened for political association to make sure they were his supporters?

Absolutely not.
I'll hate the voter and the Homunculus.
Without him the trash would still be hiding in the woodwork.

As an American, it would be a really good idea to temporarily kick the US out and make it the G6. We have absolutely no business driving policy with Trump at the wheel.

We also have no business being in NATO at the moment either.
