And don’t forget all those overseas territories, too.

No, that’s a cryptid from the Americas. You’re thinking of a chimichanga.

I get it for countries where their self-preservation is on the line (Taiwan) or where it’s simply been national policy since the dawn of time (Switzerland), but it’s definitely different when it’s for a dictatorial, unpopular, or corrupt government.

I’d like to see him come back for an episode and try to play the right-wing pundit satirization, only to keep getting out-crazied by the actual right-wing pundits.

The man on the left could see the curve, and what was on it.

Essentially, the DNC decided to shake up the primary season by shuffling the traditional order of primaries, and had South Carolina as the first primary in February. New Hampshire has a state law requiring them to be the first primary, so they could either break state law or defy the DNC. (Keep in mind that parties are technically private organizations, so I don’t know how state law can force them to do that, but American elections are weird, and I’m Canadian.) The Republican-controlled NH government decided on defying the DNC, so although they technically held a primary, it was not sanctioned or authorized, and thus the DNC disallows contenders from appearing on the ballot, which Biden complied with. I believe the DNC has also invalidated the electors as a result, so they might not even count them at the convention.

TDLR; DNC changes primary schedule, Republican NH says “by law we go first”, DNC declares NH primary unsanctioned and tells candidates to stay off the ballot.

Except once you have the turbines and panels, you don’t have to keep importing resources to run them. Sure, you might need parts for maintenance, but if things go south it’s a lot easier to reverse engineer parts than to find new oil suppliers.

They’re shounen anime characters. They just need to slightly move their blade and suddenly they’ve attacked a dozen times.
