back in the day I'd go to the SERIOUS BUSINESS old jew retiree areas to get the hard shit for my lox, and the waitresses were always like "uh... you're SURE you want the real stuff?" and I'm like "fuck yeah some light seasoning of salmon on my salt, please!"

I was more thinking of the time Saddam shot scuds at Israel and the US forbade Israel to attack back because they didn't want to upset the Arab members of the coalition against Saddam.

That whole Gulf War situation was a mess. But, what can you expect with a U.S. President like George Herbert Walker Bush calling the shots. He was a bit of a dunderhead. He couldn't even remember where he was on the day JFK was shot. Sheraton Hotel? Houston? James Parrott? Who knows.

G. H. W. Bush couldn't even hold a steady job. U.N. Ambassador in 1972 (year of the Munich Massacre). Then Chairman of the RNC right when Nixon is ousted for Watergate. Gerald Ford put him as head of CIA. But, then Carter won, so Bush only worked for the CIA for 1 year (despite the rumors of previous CIA work). Bush had to go work for a bank for a few years before Reagan was obliged to pick him for Vice President.

With a résumé like that, what can you expect.
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Thursday calling for the shutdown of the U.S. Education Department, according to a White House official, advancing a campaign promise to eliminate an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives.

Will be declared Unconstitutional by a District Judge by next Tuesday.

Wouldn't it use loan words for millitary stuff or German places or people?

Maybe for German places/people but they most likely translated it literally into Navajo rather than used a loan word. Like how France has a department to create "true French words" to prevent loan words from occurring and "polluting" the language.

Also I have no sources for this, was more speaking regarding natural vs constructed languages.

I always thought that congress had to be the one to dismantle that.

tbh I have no clue how any of this shit is supposed to happen and I strongly suspect nobody else does either
this is either "Team Trump fed an AI literally all US Federal Law to see what they could exploit" or he's just making shit up as he goes because fuck it who's gonna argue otherwise

either way it's great and I'm glad to be around to see it happen

For what purpose would the mossad even have killed JFK for? I know he threatened to have the CIA dismantled but I don’t know what he had to do with Israeli politics.

yeah ngl I don't consider myself much of a JFK assassination nerd even if I can get into the Multiple Oswalds or the What's My Line chick, but yeah other than the (discredited because they already had nukes and lol like Israel gives any fucks) idea that he was going to stop them from getting the Bomb beats me

I always thought that congress had to be the one to dismantle that. Least that's what was taught in my courses that involved government and the education department.

I’m not sure but it won’t matter. A mall cop will declare it unconstitutional any second now.

I suspect Trump absolutely expected all of these court blocks. The man has spent every spare minute of his life dealing with the most malignant cancer embedded in the Justice system for years now.

Maybe I’m being optimistic, but they have to start somewhere and he’s certainly sowing chaos at every once of these agencies. And aside from that, even the challenges the judges throw up doesn’t mean they have to just keep doing everything the same.

While a lot of this works it’s way up they can certainly slow walk, reduce or change funding amounts, continually reduce staff, there’s really a million ways they can practice malicious compliance.

But midterms are going to be intense.
