Nah, it's the perfect position, be able look like you're pushing back while complaining you don't have the power to do it. A certain political party perfected that tactic.

Those are ICE agents, they already self select as the worst people, and you can always find a job as a private security guard or municipal cop or whatever if you have moral qualms about what you're doing.

A million and get a pilot licence.

Yeah, I know he's a kook, but he's right about some things. My guess is that they'll never let him do the sensible things and he'll only do the crazy shit like banning vaccines.

The SA President should've just said something like: "I look forward to seeing you make the case in front of the ICC, as we have done before."

So they're stopping trade talks, but continue supplying them with arms?

I'm guessing they mention that to highlight he had a previous business relation with them.

That's actually hilarious.

No doubt, but there's no way they don't take at least the house back even by doing nothing. At least for midterms candidates can tailor their message more to what people in the district want to hear, instead of having to run on 'I'll be exactly like Joe Biden but black'.

I think he just knows the midterms are going to be a massacre for Republicans no matter how much money they throw at it, so he's going to sit it out to retain the aura of being a kingmaker. It's the same thing Rupert Murdoch does, when Liberals/Conservatives/Republicans have no chance of winning in the next election, he'll suck up to Labour/Labor/Democrats and get concessions from them in exchange for support and to keep the illusion in place that his media empire can make anyone win elections.

Yeah, micromobility is a huge market now. But I guess we should be happy he didn't, because he'd probably try to add self driving and a touchscreen.
