Only the smaller states are at any real risk, and only if they don't cooperate with the larger democratic states to place troops to protect the sites

There's more than enough available to the states if they decide to enforce safety that the feds simply can't do anything

Get Republicans out, then fix the damn system by changing the voting system so you guys can finally have more than 2 parties

You have no idea how few the federal troops really are, you think they're more powerful than they are because you've only seen reports on where they've been striking performatively.

If Trump sent every federal agent they had into New York city, the city could dedicate less than half of their police force to arrest them all. They wouldn't need to call the national guard, or any other security forces.

And then there's no feds left to try anything in any other state.

You're missing my point by miles, do something to oppose him then!

Who's the one with talking points? Because that one's from the constitution. Push the states to oppose Trump's interference

Constitution says no and states get to enforce that no

Practically anything can go faster than Disc light, which is lazy and tame, unlike ordinary light. The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can’t have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles—kingons, or possibly queons—that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expounded because, at that point, the bar closed.

Because if the next cohort is simply performing better you force some students to be graded below their performance, which is unfair punishment, and if they're worse then some will be graded higher. It's especially unfair when the composition of students changes rapidly or when used over very mixed groups of students.

Grading should be decided based on achieved learning targets, not group rank. It's not a fucking sport.
