After I learned a bit of Russian I also started looking for opportunities to point out that I knew Russian, so I see where he’s coming from

What I want to know is why the Trade Federation had a “viceroy,” a title that refers to someone who governs as the representative of a monarch

Will’s position implies that a Republican who loses their job will register this as a positive or neutral event because Trump is president
