Of all the things you could reasonably criticize the US over, wheelchair accessibility ain't one of them. Especially compared to Europe.

I'm an older millennial and have never even bothered to get a driver's license.

This isn’t foreign policy.

It's a policy that pertains to how the US relates to a foreign government. If that's not foreign policy, nothing is. Plus, have you read the lawsuit? It wants the court to order the president to "influence" Israel. Influencing a foreign government is smack dab in the middle of the president's authority.

Congress absolutely has the right to tell the President they can’t give stuff to war criminals because it’s our stuff.

Yes. And they have declined to do so.

The Leahy law doesn’t say if the executive feels like they’re war criminals

It says the Secretary of State shall make that determination. Secretary of State is part of the executive branch.

You think we have a king. We do not.

That's obviously not what I think.

My problem is with Brendan Eich.

I refuse to use the Brave browser, and I was prepared to abandon Firefox, over then-CEO Brendan Eich's $1000 donation in support of California's proposition 8 (banning same-sex marriage). I will never forgive the supporters of that proposition. I will not knowingly support their businesses.

I've lost all respect for Scott Adams (of the Dilbert comic strip) and Kelsey Grammar (Frasier actor). Their continued support for Donald Trump is damning.
