An excuse for what? I think I misunderstood your point.
I’m still very capable of caring for myself, but I’ve also been caring for my mother since my father passed. It’s very difficult financially in the US. It would certainly cost less to get her into a nursing home than having to rent a two bedroom. Most people can’t even afford to do it now. The US is in a sad state.
My concern on that front is trust. After electing Trump, Biden, Trump, our allies see the US as a rocking ship. Our allies’ trust in us will take more than a term to regain.
That’s true, although this administration is perfectly timed to siphon off the largest wealth transfer in US history with the demise of the boomers.
He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014. His condition in Top Gun 2 was his reality. Pneumonia is what took his life, according to his daughter.
In pace requiescat, Doc.
I’m sure my daughter would want to. The problem is it’s completely unrealistic in the US. When I’m too old to care for myself, I’m going to insist on a nursing home. Hell, the LAN parties are going to be great by then.

It’s even worse than that. Democrats forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s emergency executive order. The Republicans in Congress redefined the entire congressional calendar as a single day, just to avoid holding the vote. Every last Republican in Congress is complicit.
There hasn’t been a ruling yet. Defying an injunction is only contempt of court.
True, but Republicans haven’t brought a bill for a Senate vote this term as far as I’m aware. Have you seen a bill vote yet?
Probably the same reason we had 40+ tornadoes, huge hailstorms, floods, and drought-enabled wildfires in six adjacent states within 48 hours. Anthropogenic climate change is real, whether you believe in it or not.
The upside is now farmers won’t have to worry about what to do with the crop surplus from trade wars, dismantled USAID, and defunded school lunch program.
48 and counting. They like to point out how Trump doesn’t listen, but he’s only defying injunctions. That’s at most a contempt of court charge. It’s not until he defies a ruling that they’ve committed a crime by disobedience.
Filibuster what, exactly? Trump is doing all of this damage with executive orders.
Here you go. Take extra time looking into Praxis Nation in Greenland. The Nerd Reich is a terrifying bunch.

Eisenhower warned us about the growing beast that is the military industrial complex after WWII, and all we did was feed it for profit.
