Yes hello I am Normal Citizen. Where do we go for the money?

Who can move Daddy's money around. He never would've had a shot coming from blue collar origins.

They do if Gerrymandering and voter suppression makes it so they have no power. They're fine sharing power, but if they see a possibility of having none, they will fight back

There are good ones doing their jobs. We only hear about the shitty ones, or the more protected ones who can afford to make noise due to being in deeply safe districts. AOC, Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer, etc are all easy incumbents who won't lose an election by making big plays that may or may not work out

They're the only ones saying anything or attempting anything official. They know they can't remove him without the other chamber, but it is important to have these things on the official record for both the public and for a future session of Congress who could do something with it

Painters at my home used a product they called Tyvek tape to adhere to stone and rock surfaces. It is extremely sticky and works well over light dust. Regardless of the availability of professional painters supplies, that is a terrible paint job in the photo.

Seriously.. It isn't that hard to use painter's tape

Didn't the trade wars already start under Trump, and then get intensified under Biden with the CHIPS act/restricting microprocessor imports to China? China retaliated by restricting microprocessor raw materials to the US and Chinese companies ordered 5 billion USD in microprocessors

I guess I fail to see the point. There is no person on Lemmy who only uses items native to their country, especially electronics. Criticize whoever you want, but realize the designs and money for the products are almost always coming from a different place as the manufacturing. If your labor is cheap, you don't attract the best and brightest because those scientists and engineers expect to be paid well. If you attract the best and brightest, cheap labor can't afford to live near them

I agree with everything you're saying, but one thing: the US imports more from Canada and Mexico because labor land and shipping costs less than production in China

If he did something illegal beyond what he's already plead to, lock him away. Same with the president. ANY president. I don't care if it's Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton, GW, Clinton, Clinton, GHW, Reagan, Clinton, or fucking George Washington.
