Larger population means larger representation. If you say the Netherlands only has about 100,000 idiots, that's roughly half a percent of their population.
Half of a percent of the US population is over 1.5 million. And I promise you, we have a waaaaaaay higher percentage of idiots than that.
That or military districts. It doesn't matter though, the Republicans had enough votes to pass it on their own. These Dems are, exactly as you say, just playing it safe at home.
I refuse to believe JKR ever loved a cat.
They'd name it Microsoft Windows Deprecation Maker 2024 Enterprise 11 though.

If you want to do all that performative reddit bullshit for attention, go back there and do it. No one will stop you.
Surely it's the rapid growth and massive profits that are the problem? Not a lack of energy infrastructure planning or regulation.

This is some text book projection. Maybe talk to a professional about it. And yeah, you probably should stay away from cartoons and kids until you get these repressed urges figured out.
Yestsin won with 58 and 54 percent of the vote in his two elections, hardly a 'landslide':

Putin's lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.
Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:

Ukraine feeds a lot of the world, and it's in everyone's best interest that it keeps doing that.
I'm pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.
Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).
if you're actually interested, even the considerable powers granted in a state of emergency are defined by laws passed by Congress:

I don't know if that's a typo, but "cheey" is a delightfully terrible name that I am stealing.
Um, no? In case you forgot, he championed a reform bill that got killed by Republicans:
It seems very likely that this uncharacteristically conservative move was calculated to produce these results. The house won't pass any pro immigration laws, so letting the SC strike this down would let the administration essentially leave things where they were and say "can't do anything else oh well", effectively removing the topic from election discourse and putting the ball firmly in the Republican court, who won't be able to get anything past the Senate.
Senegalese refugees comprise the bulk of the migrants, and all sorts of things like drought and commodity prices (due to the invasion Ukraine among other things) are driving their economy into the ground. In the end, climate change is definitely a non negligible component of the problem which is only going to get worse.
haha no source, just a dumb joke.
Abbot just creamed his chair and he doesn't even know why.
