I am not a dual citizen, but know several. The benefit is that you have all the rights of a citizen in either country, the chief benefit is that you can stay in either country as long as you want to, and not worry about any visa limits.

The main drawback is that you are subject to all of the regulations in both countries, and if you get in some sort of legal trouble in one country, the other country can’t help you at all. (Of course, they may not have helped either way).

If you are a citizen of a country, you often must show that passport when entering. So these people frequently travel with both passports, and when going to a third country, use whichever one is most advantageous.

Yes, cash is still very much in use in the US. And you can pay the IRS in cash, at least for amounts less than $1000. But checks are also in use here. I’ve bought a few cars with cashier’s checks and nobody has given me a hassle about it.

However, there are certain venues now that will not accept cash at all. Theme parks, stadiums, concerts: they are mostly places where places to spend money are spread out, and the burden of physically handling the cash is a lot. I have seen theme parks with kiosks at the entrance to convert people’s cash into VISA debit card accounts just to facilitate this. I guess they think it makes it all more efficient.

I will say that while I still carry around cash, after the pandemic I refuse to carry around loose change. Why would I? I will never need to use a pay phone anymore, and most parking meters can be topped up from your phone. Anytime I buy something in cash and get change, I usually just put it in the tip jar, because there is no more room in that jar on the dresser.

DOESN’T THE GRIM REAPER TALK IN ALL CAPS?

It doesn’t matter. If he stays in power past Jan 2029, he won’t need an election (or any popularity polls) to do it.

They are in a position where they can pass legislation that will obligate the President to do something different. But I won’t hold my breath…

It is also unclear what happens if someone doesn’t have ID when they show up to vote. Do they get sent home? Do they file a provisional ballot? How is that provisional ballot eventually validated and counted?

Not all Voter ID laws are bad, but they should always be oriented toward having a path to allow the most vulnerable to vote. The right to vote should be absolute, and not subject to revocation if someone doesn’t have the correct paperwork on them. (Yes, I think felons ought to be able to vote, too.)

Nope, that is incorrect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States

If a Presidential impeachment succeeds, that person immediately leaves office. The Constitution says that if the President were ever to leave office, the VP takes over. But if there is also no VP, what happens next depends on the Presidential Succession Act:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Succession_Act

Which says that the Speaker of the House becomes Acting President.

Its still a matter of debate what exactly an “acting President” can do in this context. Does the House Speaker resign from Congress and move into the White House? That is the plainest reading of it all, after all.

It doesn’t matter what they might or might not “consider”, if they impeach Trump them Vance becomes President, unless they do a twofer and impeach them both.

If they ever have the votes to impeach Trump, they would likely have the votes to impeach both of them. But, they may think it’s political suicide to do so, especially since then a (presumably Democratic) House Speaker would become President, and not by being elected, which would trigger all sorts of folks on the Reich Right

Wasn’t there also that bit about “the Disciple that Jesus loved”?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seems like you need to find some good non-profits in your area and donate some time to them. They might have lawyers on staff who can advise on how to do what you want to do productively

Many governors are former mayors.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of states require someone to go to law school (and pass the bar exam) before they can practice. So that is three years of graduate school after your 4-year undergraduate degree.

Some states might still let you take the bar exam without actually going to law school, but they will require proof of some amount of work (years) assisting in a legal capacity. You won’t be able to just sign up for the bar exam just because you want to take it.

The cheapest option is to live in a state with a good public University system, be smart enough to get in, and hope their law school tuition doesn’t break the bank.

However, sending legal-sounding letters doesn’t require a law degree at all. You only need that when you go to court. However, if you have been vibing your way through threatening legal sounding shit, and it does go to court, you may be in a world of hurt when no actual smarty-pants lawyer takes your case.

Isnt there about to be an ugly, gaudy Arc de Trump right in that spot (or at least, on that side of the bridge)?

Renewals can be done online if you meet certain criteria, I got my passport card renewed recently and did it all on my phone, including taking the picture.

“Every time, all the time. Like, ‘How are you doing?’ ‘Where’s the ballroom?’ ‘How you playing [golf]?’ ‘I don’t know, I’d play better if you built the ballroom.’ It’s all the time,” Graham said with a chuckle. “He understands what’s missing.”

Not even Lindsey can hide the fact that the President fixates on things like a three-year-old

It is possible that DeWalt designs and manufactures its own batteries, and there is some clever tech in them that makes them superior to other batteries, or that they pay for high quality components that make them last longer.

However, it is just as likely that they buy the batteries themselves “off the shelf”, put them in a custom plastic enclosure, slap their label on them, and sell them for an insane markup. Sometimes, they don’t even need the custom enclosure and they just buy someone else’s finished battery product. The “off-brand” option may be the exact same product.

It’s not unethical to use off-brand batteries, but then if you buy a substandard one that causes a problem the manufacturer may use that as an excuse to deny their warranty claim. But when was the last time you replaced a tool under warranty?

Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through

Right, but he was never a leader. He’s a boss. And the type of boss who expects people to just do what he says, without any questions. Simply asking a question is a sign of disloyalty!

Not true! MAGA has had other important (to them) accomplishments, like harassing brown people and protecting pedophiles.

Socialism: If you have two cows, you give one to your neighbor.

Communism: If you have two cows, you give them to the government and the government then gives you some milk.

If it’s coupled with DC Statehood, why not?
