I'll be fine, go ahead and take your time ☺️
Does anyone think those museum passes are worth getting or is it like discount gym memberships sold in December?
Nah, not gonna happen. The guy thinks too highly of himself and his value for society, that's been confirmed multiple times.

I'm pretty sure that was very close to the maximun extent of his influence.
Oh is that why he is still all over the fucking news, social media, and why Republicans in house and senate still publicly stand for him?
Break into laughter and start cheering
There are times I wonder if the civil war was a good idea. Just let those confederate states break away from the north. I don't support the idea of a confederacy, nor do I support slavery, but hear me out.
I fully believe that the south on their own would have crumbled as a country, as the new, smaller USA would have told the world "Hey, if you buy goods from the south, just know it's with slave labor. If you buy it from the USA, it's 100% slave free.
After some years, the then democrats (which today would be the republicans....weird, I know), would have screwed their own country up so bad, that I feel each state would have tried to become it's own country. And it's impossible to know where the butterfly takes us from there.
But today we would have a USA that's roughly half the size, quite a bit smaller population wise, but still basically the USA we know today in terms of place in the world.
So now, today, trump would be campaigning down in alabama or florida or some shit, and none of this bullshit would be our problem. Because if he tried campaigning in the USA, he would be shot down HARD. All the racists and confederate flag bearers, and bible thumpers are in the south......and also Ohio for some unexplained reason.
Point is. He would either campaign in a country that won't have him, or campaign in a country that loves him.....but it's not our problem.
It wouldn't be that clean cut. Yes, a good chunk of the southeast would go but you have plenty of states that are discontiguous or so close to a 50-50 split, that we'd end up with a bunch of 1850s Kansas-Missouri situations.
You might want to look at the past two elecctoral college maps before you go blaming everything on the south.
I said "and Ohio". The western states didn't exist back then.
It would very much be our problem because then we'd have a nation with fealty to Putin/Russia right on our doorstep.
You would consigned millions of people to remain in slavery as well as their descendants for god knows how many generations for the chance it would maybe have stopped trump, a bigot from New York?

Ahhhhhhhhh yes, the breaking point, a fine California Champagne by Paul Masson.
Breaking news, breaking bread, breaking out the fine Chinah, breaking open a cold one with the boys. Everyone will forget after 15 minutes and he will be shoved into the dustbin of history. Real working people have been getting the shaft for decades, and he understands nothing of it. He capitalized on that misdirected anger but didn't do squat for them except enrich himself. Just like 99% of of the politicians.
This guy projects harder than a Bell & Howell 3870 Overhead Projector with a transparency furiously marked up in permanent ink by the overworked teacher during lunch break in the staff room, right before a kid pukes up his Frankenberry pellets onto his desk and the janitor comes by and cleans it up with a cardboard box.
