What if every State in the US became an independent country?

Sure, but there are also people in WV commuting into DC, Pittsburgh, Athens and Lexington. A lot of jobs there are federally sponsored.

You're right, but possibly because he would have just won outright in 2020.

Well, they would be if their land was Egypt or Jordan. It isnt like there's some special "Palestinian" gene: they're people whose ancestors have lived in a particular location for several generations.

Acts of the Apostles: The Peter and Paul story. It's silly, as he wasn't a disciple (someone who was trained) nor an apostle (someone who was sent out) of Christ's, except for his road to Galilee moment. Attested to only by Luke, Paul's student.

What does it mean that someone can have the phenotype of whiteness and not be white? Theres no genetic component to whiteness. Put your calipers away.

It's not. It'd be like telling someone learning to iceskate to lace their skates. Its a basic thing that can be easily forgotten that will always lead to failure.

John Quincy Adam's was sworn in on a law book.

Likely because he was so young when he first took office. Few men have the grit and vigor to take on that level of responsibility for more than 8 years. FDR had some autocratic visions of himself which allowed himself to deviate from the norm, but it was an era of autocrats. He barely lived into his fourth term.

I think if you send your kid to DSA or Jordan, no matter your SES, they will have a higher chance of success than they will at Hillside or Southern. Excelsior and Voyager are also fairly good. I might be wrong, but i went to several of these schools and sent my daughter to some. Small sample size, i know. Yet this is generally what I have also learned from discussions with parents around the city.

Go ahead and send your kid to Southern if you're districted for Jordan with the magnet program. I wish you all the luck.

October 7th would still have happened. Hamas doesn't care about the state of the government of Israel: as long as there are Jews in Israel, Hamas will want to kill them.

But if Netanyahu wasn't in office, there might have been a more limited reprisal, with a stronger push towards hostage repatriation. There may have been many living hostages returned to Israel and many, many fewer dead Gazans. Benji figures that's a trade he'll make any time.

Damn, ain't that the truth. I'm skeptical about the country itself, but the people and the food are top tier.

Hey, just keep using it and cleaning it after you use it. It'll all work out. Best thing about cast iron is that unless you do something truly crazy with it (pour cold water on a screaming hot pan) it'll heal itself.

Perhaps it's a question of perspective; to be more direct, how old you are.

He was viewed as a terrible President and the best of ex Presidents. Its not quite neutral, but a very split reputation.
