Sci-Fi. Fantasy. Video Games. The outdoors. Hoping this place works.
They are not "technically" 13. Age is not determined by how many birthdays you've had but by how many years you've lived and every state already deals with this issue (mostly by simply using 2/28 or 3/1 for tracking your legal age.)

From what I've seen, the emails themselves don't say anything about the resignation part.

Police do not have to tell you why you are being arrested, nor do police 'charge' people anyway. The DA charges you well after you've been arrested.

The podcast is called Revolutions. Season 5 is about the South American Wars of Independence. It primarily focuses on Bolivar, but San Martin gets some good mentions.

No worries, I only heard of him because of a podcast I happen to be listening to at the moment!

He's one of the main figures of South American independence.

Less Napoleon and more San Martin.

When all of this is over, so many major organizations and companies will be tainted with having collaborated with Trump that I don't even fucking know what to do. Can't boycott them all.

No. We purchase Alaska from Russia. This information is easy to find on the Internet. You don't have to rely on random people on social media to educate you. You can educate yourself.

No. The US Invaded it and Spain relinquished their claim to it as a condition of ending the war.

No one "donated" PR. The US invaded it during the Spanish-American war and Spain ceded it upon its conclusion.

The filibuster is not explicitly in the Constitution by name; it exists as part of the Senate rules of procedure, which the Constitution says they can define how they wish.

Yes, DC is not a state. It is land from Maryland (and, temporarily, Virginia) that was ceded to the Federal government to make a Federal district to house the capitol.

They have not been admitted to the Union as States so do not get the same representation as States.

A filibuster results from a quirk in Senate rules of procedure that allow a person to talk as long as they want on any issue, which has been used to protest or stall legislation or other actions.

Because Senators don't represent people, they represent states as whole sovereign entities. Individual representation in Congress is via the House of Representatives.

And, lo and behold, Wyoming has a single representative, just like your district 8, in the House.

This is Civics 101.

Aprobos of nothing, English comedian Bob Mortimer once mentioned he had a childhood friend whose head was so large they called it a "sniper's dream."
