Hey. That's me!

I own 0.000000105% or so. A whopping 19 shares our of 1.8billion shares.

Or those that used to work there, and have been going for free for the last two decades even after quitting almost 10 years ago?

I don't live there anymore, but still go at least once or twice a year. I haven't paid since before 2008.

This would then default to not an emergency so avoiding a vote wouldn't do shit to help them.

The existing mechanism is that Congress can vote to say it's not an emergency. I'm saying they need to do the opposite. Say it actually is an emergency and by a supermajority so one party having control doesnt give them complete control.

This is the opposite. The existing law has them vote to overturn it. As it stands, it remains an emergency until Congress says otherwise.

This law would automatically end it unless a supermajority says otherwise. Supermajority would hopefully prevent a single party from having enough control to do otherwise.

It says calendar days, so even if Congress considered all this a single day and refuse to vote, the emergency would expire anyway.

Congress needs to pass a law requiring that any national emergency needs to be confirmed by a super majority of both the house and Senate within 15 calendar days of declaration. Or from 15 days of the passage of this law, whichever is later. An ongoing national emergency must be renewed by Congress before the sixth month of its declaration, but no earlier than it's fifth month. Then on a yearly basis starting from the anniversary of its declaration.

Failing that, all emergency powers the president wields are revoked.

In a true emergency, the assemblage of Congress is not an onerous task. Nor is the vote.

Best PE teacher I had actually made it a class where we had to learn the rules of the games and were given tests on them. Then we spent a couple weeks playing the games and she had the kids acting as referees enforcing the rules we learned. We played basketball, baseball, football, bowling. She taught us different dances like line dancing and square dancing. When it was winter and there was enough snow. We even learned cross country skiing.

Then I moved to a different school and my PE curriculum became "run a mile.' I have exercised induced asthma. Running was a literal hell for me.

Same. If someone wants to see my dick, whatever; have fun.

I just don't look at other guys dicks cause I don't want to see theirs. Bathrooms aren't sexy, people taking a piss aren't sexy.

Hell, in a lot of places they still have troughs.

Wrigley Park where the Chicago Cubs play still has troughs.

I personally support the troops and condemn the military.

If I meet an individual, that's a person who has oftentimes been sent to places where their lives were in danger whether they really wanted to go or not.

However, I don't support the leadership or the organization. I don't believe we've needed to maintain such a large military force or use it to advance national interests. The USA has always been in a unique position geographically where a war couldn't easily reach us.

I'd work on cars. And my house. It feels like I'm fighting entropy, I fix one thing and find 2 more problems in the process. But I know some of that is just the previous home owner doing a bunch of diy.

Learn to wood work and build furniture. I have a deep, deep loathing for flat pack furniture.

Garden. I'd love to have a proper garden.

Honestly. I'd just like to be rid of my anxiety over finances.

"We don’t want members of the media or just a lot of lobbyists joining,” said one person close to the club. “We want people to feel comfortable having conversations in privacy.”

You're fucking government officials! You aren't supposed to have meetings in privacy!

They have removed any "legal" pathway to becoming a citizen. At this point, I don't see any reason for anyone to show up to ANY immigration appointment.
