If the reaction to Trumps tweet about NK the other day where the military was like " What the gently caress is going on what do we do? " is any indiciation then yeah, there's a likelyhood Trump just loses it and goes on some bizarre militaristic rant which somehow embroils us in a war.

There was a snippet that after this tweet
https://twitter.com/RealPressSecBot/status/890193997448200192

That people in the Pentagon thought he was about to announce a war with Iran or NK, and were left waiting for 10 minutes until the follow up

Does Trump have to issue a order in person? Could he just be like " Hey we should bomb X country " and the military would have to seriously consider it or whatever

As I understand it, the order has to be received. So, if the SecDef follows Trump in Twitter, maybe.

From the article:

quote:

The Trump administration’s filing is unusual in part because the Justice Department isn’t a party in the case, and the department doesn’t typically weigh in on private employment lawsuits.

They basically filed an amicus brief saying that they were in fact mustache twirling villains.

Yeah it kind of is. However, in some states it is illegal to discriminate or fire someone because of sexual orientation so unsure of why this was filed in Federal court, maybe the state did not have a law like that.

If the new CBO predictions track the previously modeled "get rid of individual mandate only" effects it should also have a 100% increase in premiums and a massive jump in deductibles within a few (three-five) years.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

During the campaign when Trump was out and out sexist and racist there were posters here who said that to label him anti lgbt was wrong because of New York Values and that his campaign had shown nothing against them.

Said it then, say it now - go gently caress yourselves again for being that stupidly deluded. Bigots are bigots.

That's 20% on top of 15-25% expected so next 35-45% increase in premiums.

"Premium costs in out years are difficult to estimate as the shift into a barter economy following the collapse of civilization makes dollar value estimates unhelpful. A review of existing literature suggests trade goods like livestock, blankets, and grains would likely be a medium of exchange in the blasted hellscape that would be future America. Using standard models, preventative healthcare would be out of reach for most American remnants."

Are Trump's tweets being archived in any systematic way?

By the White House?

By any dedicated websites? Or only here and there by random individuals taking screenshots?

Isn't there some Archives law that requires this?

Also, has anyone ever done a word cloud on Trump's tweets? I'd like to see that.
