Didn't Biden already fix the formulas shortage?

Any parent who hasn't checked for formula at Target, regardless of what specific brand their child identifies with drinking this month, should go to jail

yeah I used to do long rear end surveys for Nielsen, they taught me a really effective way to keep them on the line that long, when they ask how long the survey is or how much longer till it's over, you reply with "just a few moments"

because "moment" isn't specific, if you told them it was gonna take 45 minutes, they'd hang up. I guess it's just a variation on the trick pilots due with delays where they say it'll get resolved in 15 minutes over and over and over.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack meets the first shipment of baby formula transported from Europe by the military in Operation Fly Formula to Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 22, 2022.

wiki posted:

On May 22, the first flight of Operation Fly Formula arrived in the United States. 78,000 pounds (35,000 kg) of formula, including 1.5 million 8-ounce bottles, were transported using military planes from Ramstein Air Base in Germany to Indianapolis. Indianapolis was chosen because it is a Nestlé distribution hub.[72][73] The shipment will account for 15% of the domestic need for specialty medical grade infant formula.[74]

unlike nazi germany, Mussolini's italy, or even post-Soviet Russia, democracy in america will give way to single-party minority rule not because of liberal collaboration with and empowerment the fascists and autocrats but instead because the political leadership of the liberals were just too loving dumb.

Yeah I think Hillary having to eat all the ash in one night as her coronation collapsed around her is the worst way it could have gone for her. She'd still have clung to "first ever woman president" if she'd sucked at actually being one, but she never even gets to try and now someone else will take that crown, eventually

You’re right, because the twenty‐fifth amendment is explicit about this. It was once a real open question. When W. H. Harrison died of pneumonia a month into his term, the cabinet secretaries were like “O.K.* so Tyler can do the president’s job, but he’s still actually the vice president”.

Tyler was like “gently caress all y’all. I’m a real president.” and got sworn in official‐like.

In the numerous times a president has eaten a bullet since then, VPs followed Tyler’s lead. The twenty‐fifth amendment to the U.S. constitution made it official: when there is a vacancy (including following impeachment and removal), the vice president is elevated to the office of president.

However, when the president is alive but unable to discharge their duties, the vice president remains in their own office and merely acts as president.

"Okay" is a Mandinka phrase that means "that's right", Tyler's slave-owning cabinet members would have been familiar with it. People later made up a stupid fake etymology for it because they didn't want to admit that African languages were influencing the white man's English.

No, "0K" is short for "Zero Killed" and was popularized by my grandfather in the second WW2. He came up with it because it was an easy way to silently signal that the squadron was ready for more action. *makes zero kill gesture*

I don’t think this is true, but I do believe that the true name of “#” is “octatherp”.
