Apparently the balance was supposed to be one person with good faith checking one without. Now we see what happens when every dumbass stands on the corrupt side of the balance.

I was just coming to terms with that, but now knowing he has 3 more days per year to plan than I do... I'm starting to get concerned again.

You can tell it's a crazy sci-fi galaxy because the year is 3 days longer than ours. They really went wild with these ideas sometimes.

Why does her face look like she's about to milk us too?

All of this hopefulness assumes they don't erode voting rights over the next 4 years. And they've had plenty of time to stage exactly that, including captured courts when anyone fights those new laws.

Aw man, I want giraffes playing poker.

I'd argue against the word "earn" even. One cannot earn one billion dollars at all.

Nobody deserves $1 billion when it would take a teacher about 20,000 years to make the same amount. And it's not earned if it's not deserved.

But that's just semantic ranting, you're right.

Except that he's explicitly choosing to be a political candidate for the purpose of avoiding the lawsuits. A lot of these allegations occurred before he announced he was re-running, and then the lawsuits got put on hold.

Your scenario creates a method for anyone to delay consequences by running for office. Although we both know it wouldn't really work for anyone. Trump gets his special treatment.

With how trigger happy police are, the false positives would lead to more deaths than they prevent. And police would claim it's justified because the machine told them so.

Having no knowledge of the situation: If a meme has a risk of being interpreted romantically, you might be in too deep already.

With #1, strong leader probably means the strong-handed over-enforcing leader who's tough on crime to solve problems. In your example I agree, but I'd also argue the leader is guiding society in that case and it takes everyone to solve problems.

With #3, I think it's referring to a subset of actual citizens who are treated like "real" citizens over other citizens. Whether it's by race, class, religion, etc. Some minority of the population is made the boogeyman.
