Not even 3, barely into April...

If anyone isn't a neurotic wreck after a couple years of this they where probably not fit for polite society to begin with.

I'd take bets on it, how many times where Canada/Mexico on/off/adjusted withing a couple days?

Edit: my guess is whenever he makes some big sweeping gesture it's because his other hand is pilfering out collective pockets somehow.

They'll be reverted as soon as he gets some flattery and palm greasing from the right people.

The overall trend presented in the article is in a positive direction, which is particularly notable given that it seems these 3rd party delivery services have grown significantly in that same time.

So why are you commenting as though it's some dystopian oppression by corporate overlords?

Gotcha, no idea other than don't do what they're doing.

The guy beat you to it in 1996

I did, but mostly because I already have a bunch of stuff set up and it's not going to change the costs any.

So now he thinks he can make demands extraterritoriality, awesome. I don't suppose he would make demands like 'stop invading and murdering you neighbor countries and their people' now would he? Nah, let's drop sanctions from Russia and who is this Israel place that he was meant to stop from doing bad things, I haven't heard much on them of late....

The fact that he spoke at length exceeding a record previously held by a segregationist and that people are discussing what happened and why says he did something of note. What have you done to the same effect?

I can specifically say that the quorum rules where used in MN to deny the Republicans a speakership and they tried to go around them with some theater vote that was shot down. If such is available then I would expect them to use it federally but right now the executive balance is on a tear doing everything they want through unilateral action, you can't procedure your way out of that, so actions have been focused of court challenges for a large part. Budget matters, yeah Schumer is a vitch and caved, if people had shown up to elect a Dem Congress or President that wouldn't even be a factor to deal with though, ounce of prevention > pound of cure and all that.

Personally I would say they should do https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(2004_film) but that's a way off... I didn't ask for a book at any point. I asked what should they, the people in congress, be doing outside of what Sanders/AOC are going around the country, or Booker speaking for a day straight against the current nonsense, what would you propose they do other than to RTFM?

When you have a couple hundred billion this is couch money. Good to hear he lost but that this is even possible is a problem.

Well then how about this, rather than just throwing a book of stuff out and telling us to divine what it is in your mind, you just state what it is that members of Congress, with a minority in both houses, no presidential power, and a screwed SCOTUS, are supposed to be doing at this time then? You've said that blocking appointments and filibustering the Senate is useless theater, so what exactly would you propose?
