In addition, if she had formed the specific intent prior to getting drunk, and got drunk just to get the liquid courage, then her inebriation again does not negate her intent.

That's part of Federalist Paper #43's argument. 

Then organize those Pacific territories into one larger state, or make them part of Hawaii, or something.

Fully agreed.

I like the 51 star circle design.

That is the solution I prefer (although they would all vote Maryland since the VA portion of DC was ceded back to them a while ago). I find the Federalist Paper #43 argument about why the federal government should retain the right to exercise some control over District’s local rule to be very persuasive. However, I…

American Samoans aren't even citizens. They exist in this weird "American Nationals" category.

How does it address the 23rd Amendment?

One correction: Heather Nauert isn’t the ambassador to the UN. She was never confirmed for the position, and she withdrew herself from consideration for the role about three weeks ago.

Twenty count is the most common count-out time in Japanese promotions. If these games were developed by Japanese programmers, they may not have known the different timing. WCW and WWF might have had a longer count-out period back then too; I’m not sure about that.

Judicial elections, which are usually non-partisan when they happen, are a state thing. That’s really irrelevant to the federal system of appointed judges.

I am actually in the process of moving to Washington from Georgia (hopefully with a job in hand; but if not will still do it by late May). So I am curious. How exactly does it work?

I just felt like making a joke using the most famous reinterpretation of words in American political history. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It all depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

To be fair, it’ll probably happen tomorrow too.

“Hey Ben. You’re black. You must know about the urban life and public housing. How about I make you HUD Secretary?”

That’s my theory why Nikki Haley quit when she did. She can escape the Trump downfall and try to paint herself as the savior of traditional Republican values in 2024 (assuming Trump loses in 2020). She would then play up her executive and international experience from her stint as governor and UN ambassador whole then…

It’s pretty well established that he’s Dr. Jan Itor.
