I stand corrected. I was thinking the 12th was much later.
PS. Nobody needed Calhoun.

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I suspected they were the result of the Vice President receiving the second-most electoral votes for president (prior to the 12th amendment), but both were elected after that change. I’m unclear when President and Vice President started to be voted as a single ticket, so I don’t know if Calhoun was elected independently based on some admittedly brief research.
Did you suggest he fly the flag upside-down?
As noted above, both were elected after the process was changed. Either way, I think it would largely be seen as a failure in a modern context, to be Vice President under two different Presidents.

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they:
- gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC
- gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration
- sponsored an inaugural party
- hired Trump’s campaign manager
- listed Trump’s meme coin
And now the investigation is closed.
These are called bribes.

I’d find it difficult to physically touch Tramp in any way at all, but it’s great to see Macron do it here, while also correcting the Tramp.

It’s a boldly coreective gesture, but also a friendly one. Disarming, as it were.
And does Tramp actually blush??

I’ve been wondering about that $80 milluon the DOGE Boys clawed back from NYC. They reached into a bank account and stole it-- a test case, maybe?
Good to see at least that NYC is suing to get it back.
Now that DOGE has access to millions of bank accounts, I wonder how many other instances of thhis kind of theft are coming soon to a bank near you.

Isn’t Macron a rich dude prior to becoming the President of France? Also, he speaks french, so he fancy. Tromp loves fancy.

There’s also something delightfully flexy about Macron speaking English in these conversations rather than using a translator. He runs circles around Donnie even in a second language.

He was. He originally did run for President, but the race quickly coalesced around JQA and Jackson, so he dropped out and ran for VP, which he won.

I don’t think it would be intended as a coup, although of course that’s likely where it would end. The oath you take in the military is very explicitly not to the US President, but to the constitution. This is actively emphasized during training and specifically addressed, or at least it was when I was in basic training around 40 years ago.
“All enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Even if this doesn’t end with something like a military coup, I really hope the current members of the armed forces remember that part about “lawful orders.”

George Clinton does have a lifetime appointment to Parliament, though. Though I guess he only recently stepped down.
