There’s an earlier bit that complements that nicely:
“it turns out that the core competency of smiling and promising people things that you can’t actually deliver is highly transferable.”

More than just one, but yeah, the “overall flow” is set in law by acts of Congress, and only an act of Congress can stop that flow, not the executive branch.
There have been U S. officials that confirmed this has happened though.

I’m not even arguing that it’s effective, just that it happened.
But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel, it’s the only thing he can (legally, not politically) do since the aid is mandated by law and his executive power doesn’t extend to negating laws.
Maybe if he forgets half the shit he’s said that directly contradicts the other half, and doesn’t try to nuke a hurricane over Mexico.
Larger population means larger representation. If you say the Netherlands only has about 100,000 idiots, that’s roughly half a percent of their population.
Half of a percent of the US population is over 1.5 million. And I promise you, we have a waaaaaaay higher percentage of idiots than that.
Yestsin won with 58 and 54 percent of the vote in his two elections, hardly a ‘landslide’:

Putin’s lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.
Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:

Ukraine feeds a lot of the world, and it’s in everyone’s best interest that it keeps doing that.
I’m pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.
Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).
Senegalese refugees comprise the bulk of the migrants, and all sorts of things like drought and commodity prices (due to the invasion Ukraine among other things) are driving their economy into the ground. In the end, climate change is definitely a non negligible component of the problem which is only going to get worse.
haha no source, just a dumb joke.

They’re bringing a salvage tug. Not a big show of confidence in that selection.

Yeah, never said it was, just that if you really want to emulate that style you mostly can.
x = foo(y:=bar(), baz(), y) or z
should work assuming foo bar and baz are functions being called?
if this is setting y to the effect of bar() + running baz after, then:
x = [bar(), baz()][0] or z
might work
and if you need y to be defined for later use:
x = [(y:=bar()), baz()][0] or z
but thats from memory, not sure if that will even run as written.
if I get to a real computer I'll try that with an actual if statement instead of a bastardized ternary.
If you want to do web requests/ use API’s, use ‘requests’
graphs/reporting, I’ve used ‘bokeh’ before, it was nice.
I’ve never used PyDroid, so I’m not sure how you’d install things, but these are both available via pypi, python’s package repository.
