Everyone hates Indians
Replying to legorhin #jazardly if the crown authority allows for this does it also apply to Canada?
The second they try it, adherance to the monarchy is removed
This article is really funny
He emphasized that he never agreed to the idea of blowing up TSMC, nor could he sacrifice Taiwan's semiconductor industry.
Please make them states

All of our territories are in-favor of some form of statehood, and its been witheld because boomers fucking love the number 50
don't forget Greenland
we'll let Quebec go free to keep at 69
I hate how hard it is to find a good map of Pacific islands
I think the reason is there are all the random Eropean Overseas territories that we never know whether to include or not
this is the best I've found so far, but it's fishing zones
Mariana, Guam, Western Micronesia and Palau are all the same island chain (Marianas)
and the US administers all of them and provides services for them federally
Palau is independent because they are a diplomatic client state to work with the Philippines, in a way that doesn't directly piss off China
similar with our Marshall Islands, Kiribati, and Nauru
Micronesia is actually independent, and is where a lot of the random European islands are
I think charitably, Marianas should become one state, and all of our central Polynesian islands should become their own
Guam and the Marianas
Samoa and American Polynesia
both these names suck though
Polynesia could technically be administrated by Hawaii, but there's too big of a size/historical difference, they should be their own state
Just get rid of all those islands
Too messy
sink them!
we should do that
Don’t give them boats either

the whatever marine national monument should be part of hawaii since its part of that archipelago
I assume it's a bunch of rocks, there are a handful of islands that are essentially unpopulated
total population of the Mariana state would be ~500k
Samoa/Polymesia would be 1.2M
Central Micronesia, which we also administrate is a little lower, at ~300k, and I think that would be the most challenging to turn into a state due to the very dispersed population, and aren't centralized
the other two would be easy
Virgins + Puerto Rico in the Caribbean is 3.5M
tsunami
Biden sent all those huricanes there
it didn't work
Most of the rest of the Caribbean shitter islands are European owned vacation spots, or "independent" countries that are all administrated by the US or Europe
I want to see the plans
other than easy ones like shutting down Dep of Education and EPA
I feel like without a plan, they're going to spend 4 years "studying the problem"
and make some recomendations that never get implemented
I'm not sure I get the reference
imo, line-item budget vetos are bad
he should have the authority to sure, but if congress appropriates money (yearly) and then it's arbitrarily chosen to not be spent by the president, that's a shitty precedent

Spooky what the fuck does that mean
my dyslexic ass read that as tyvm
