The Insurrection Act (1807) empowers the President to call up the National Guard in cases of civil disorder, rebellion or insurrection. HW Bush used it in the LA Riots in 1992.
The Governor need not consent.
But this isnāt what the Guard signed up for. How many will actually follow through?

Didnāt see you mention Ballast Key anywhere, sorry

Nah, 1453 was in there, with the fall of the Byzantine Empire *and* the end of the Hundred Years Warā¦

Buckley v. Valeo is the real problem. Thatās the 1976 precedent that established that āmoney == free speechā. Take that away and CUās impact is hugely diminished.

Itās already a fake location though. The actual southernmost point in Key West is on the Naval Air Station, about a half mile WSW of the buoy.
And there are further Keys, WSW of Key West, that are further south. Ballast Key is where you should go for the furthest South in the Continental US.

Theyāre better because if they were in power they wouldnāt be nominating those people or writing those bills.
Itās not my intention to give them a pass. Primary them! Get better Dems in there! But when all is said and done, a (D) is better than an (R). Even if the (D) is spineless (hopefully not!)

Republicans made those nominations. Republicans wrote those bills. So yeah, not-Republican is better.
Am I pleased with the Dems you mention? Hell no, and they should be primaried!
But in the general when thereās and R and thereās a D? Hell yes, vote for the D.

Second this. Iāve always found TTS to be a bit heavy and clunky and too focused with the full physical simulationā¦ but BGA is great. And over a thousand games on there, some of which are actually good.

Dominion!
Ok, it doesnāt exactly have a board, so I donāt know if it qualifies as a board game, but the online port is excellent.

We also let bygones be bygones with Nixon, Reagan, and W, and the inescapable lesson is you can do horrible things with no consequences because the Dems will always let bygones be bygones.

When one party chases their extremes and the other party chases the ever-shifting āmiddleā, the extremists win.
In part because of the Overton window, but also because a lot of ācentristsā just want politicians who stand for something. Chasing the middle smells like a lack of principles to them.

Since WWII (and before, really) this countryās science programs have been like Notre Dame: an immense imposing edifice to awe the world. And now weāre just tearing it down.
In four years we wonāt be able to unpause. Weāll have to start this Notre Dame over again, from scratch.

The main construction of Notre Dame de Paris took over 100 years, from 1163-1270. Now imagine Louis VIII coming to power in 1223 and deciding to tear it all down. That could probably have been done in a few years.
Would the next king have been able to just go back to building it?

(For anyone not aware, thereās a region of France, about 60 miles north of Paris, called Picardy. Somebody from there is called a Picard.)

Hey, it worked for Zimbabwe and Argentina and pre-War Germany!
Hang on, Iām getting reports that it did not, in fact, work for any of these places.

Technically, he only said he wouldnāt have gotten himself in that situation. So āI wouldnāt have sheltered Jewish people in my atticā is an equally valid interpretation here.

So, Cheers was created by Glen Charles, Les Charles, and James Burrows.
According to IMDb, the guy who knocked on the door was their agent, Bob Broder.

āPromises made, promises keptā he says and then proceeds to lay out a completely hypothetical security system that doesnāt actually exist.

Gutting the FAA and making people afraid to fly, and killing all foreign tourism, goes a long way towards eliminating āchemtrailsā.

So Bondi posted on Xitter, āIn President Trumpās first 100 days weāve seized over 22 million fentanyl-laced pills, saving over 119 Million lives.ā
ā¦ so each pill kills 5 people? How does *that* work?

Clinton oversaw the elimination of the deficit (the rate at which we accrue debt). He did not pay off the debt. The last time our debt was entirely paid off, Andrew Jackson was President.

Iād have a lot more faith in cryptocurrency (that is to say, Iād have *any* faith in it) if people actually used it as a *currency*. Nobody ever does, though. At best they treat it as an investment akin to stocks; at worst they treat it as a scam akin to pump-n-dump penny stocks.
