After Project Freedom Plus, it's gotta be Project Freedom Pro and then Pro Max, for, sure.
It's crazy how the USA's legal system seems to have a loophole for *everything*
Good morning European people! (and Americans using VPNs)
This is why I'm not in awe of America's world famous "checks and balances". There are no checks and no balances here; the fact that SC judges are chosen by the president and then they stay on the job FOREVER undermines the legal system. "Checks and balances" my a$$
Trump doing inappropriate things in front of children? Unimaginable
It almost sounds like letting a politician select judges could have political consequences on the judiciary system.
Just the idea that a justice system can be purely based on political views is madness. Well done U.S.A.
being depressed has never made me so punctual as right now
Good evening to my fellow insomniac Europeans 👋
kamikaze dolphins sounds like something out of the highly anticipated new austin powers movie
Ahh, das nachdenklich machende Frühstücksfernsehen enttäuscht nicht...
If one of these stooges tries to publish a memoir later, explaining how "concerned" they were about how things were going but felt their "hands were tied" in the face of "executive power" and wanted to explain their reasoning but felt it was more important to "preserve harmony" between the two estates and to "avoid tumult" within the republic, I sincerly hope that the resulting hollow laughter follows them to the end of their lickspittling days
Why did i read "Epic Furry", got confused and still believed it to be an actual topic John would cover?
Last time I was this early we’d already declared victory twice
Yo that dolphin in the experiment they're talking about killed itself. Apparently dolphins have the ability to sink to the bottom of the sea, and just choose to stop breathing. It's not the same reflex like humans have, where we'll autonomously start breathing whether we want to or not. They form strong bonds with the people that take care of them, and when those caretakers are gone, they can get really depressed. Honestly it's one of the saddest things I've ever learned about.
trump , thinking being surrounded by children, as a good optic is absolutely catatonic levels of lack of awareness.
The more I learn about how America is run, the more I'm horrified about how much power it holds on the world...
Team Asia checking in bright and early 😎 Also, this was one of THE BEST episodes in years. Pay attention world.
The Iranian delegation came with experienced diplomats and technical experts, while the US delegation were the Scooby-Doo and the gang, and had the Seven Dwarfs on stand by to pick up Big Macs
Petition to change the term "Rabbit Hole" to "Dolphin Hole", because that segment was genuinely so crazy.
