  1. How so? Britain's civil war took place twice as long ago as Murica's. I didn't hear Sunak dispute the outcome of the election. Instead, he was all smiles when passed the baton to Starmer. I don't recall an assassination attempt against Starmer either.

  3.  @Haggerty3030  You no savvy... Friedrich Trump, DJT's German grandfather, emigrated to the USA in 1885. Adolf Hitler was born years later, in 1889. Nazi Germany came about in 1933, when Hitler and his Nazi Party gained power. Friedrich had died well prior to that, in 1918. What you're suggesting is an anachronism.

  5.  @RogerMellie-yk3gw  Tomato-tomato. The presidency in Israel is mostly ceremonial, like in parliamentary republics in general.

  6. If so, it's unlikely that any single party would gain an outright majority, so coalition governments would become the norm. The added benefit would be that the parties would have to keep a civil tongue in their heads, because you don't want to burn your bridges come next election. We've seen what a lack of civility has brought the far right yokels in Europe. The other parties wrap a nice cordon sanitaire around them.

  7. Friedrich Trump, Donald Trump's German-born grandfather, emigrated to the US before Adolf Hitler was born. Just saying.

  8. It all depends on whether you vote in Trump or Democrat candidate X.

  9. He claims he survived by the grace of God. That begs the question: why did God decide to graze him with a bullet in the first place?

  10. The Salvation Army would win?

  11. Well-regulated militias are allowed. Most Americans can't shoot for shite.

  12. It's well-regulated militia. Reservists qualify, but the rest are just as effective as civil war reenactors.

  13.  @ryeguy7941  At a minimum, the National Guard would meet those requirements. I guess you've never served.

  14.  @ryeguy7941  Two foreign tours and another two years at home. Plus all the reservist stuff for over two decades. How about you? You evaded the issue. The definition of militia has evolved since the Second Amendment was written, but it originally meant an able-bodied supplementary body of citizens -- citizen soldiers, in other words -- who're called to arms in an emergency. I guess the well-regulated part meant that those involved have received and continue to receive military training without serving in the military full-time. If not the National Guard, what else could that be?

  17.  @Haggerty3030  The Wikipedia article does not support your claims in the remotest. The crux of the matter is that you falsely claimed that Friedrich Trump was expelled from Nazi Germany, which is an impossibility in itself, because Friedrich Trump had lain dead and buried for more than two decades when the Nazis came to power. You're merely emulating Trump by playing fast and loose with facts.

  20.  @zw9802  Don't be a drama queen. France isn't used to forming coalition governments, unlike its neighbours. Its quirky electoral system is to blame. The same goes for the UK, and above all, the US.
