We are shit, but we know we are shit, unlike everywhere else.

2019-01-12 07:36:31 UTC  

I'd rather have US take over the world than EU

2019-01-12 07:36:46 UTC  

globalism is wrecking shit. don't get cocky just because you have one president telling them off - you had them in your midsts worse than us

2019-01-12 07:36:52 UTC  

Plus we have the Constitution

Time for the Shining City upon a Hill to experience some urban sprawl

too much expansionism for me..

2019-01-12 07:37:37 UTC  

Fine, we'll scale it back

Dude we have the MOON

2019-01-12 07:37:49 UTC  

gotta let cultures thrive like an ecosystem, not just blanket it with one world history

2019-01-12 07:38:05 UTC  

We have many cultures

2019-01-12 07:38:10 UTC  

The optimal defensible position

With oceanic moats

2019-01-12 07:38:19 UTC  

We all answer to one Constitution.

2019-01-12 07:38:40 UTC  

Actually, add Greenland to the image above

2019-01-12 07:39:17 UTC  

If there WERE going to be a single world government, I think the US would do best with its constitution.

2019-01-12 07:39:59 UTC  

It is a very good basis that almost everyone would mostly agree upon.

2019-01-12 07:40:01 UTC  

the way it is now, it's not exactly set up for the little guy to have a voice at the head of the country

2019-01-12 07:40:26 UTC  

That will be true for any world government

2019-01-12 07:40:26 UTC  

which is deliberate

2019-01-12 07:40:34 UTC  

State governments are designed to be more immediately answerable

2019-01-12 07:40:52 UTC  

and more tailored for the local population

2019-01-12 07:41:00 UTC  

i get that, but the national government has power over everything, and that can be dangerous

2019-01-12 07:41:09 UTC  

imagine Hillary had gotten in.

2019-01-12 07:41:12 UTC  

No

2019-01-12 07:41:12 UTC  

just for a minute

The GOP Senate and House would gridlock the fuck out of her

2019-01-12 07:41:25 UTC  

by design

2019-01-12 07:41:26 UTC  

There is a clear distinction between authorities

2019-01-12 07:41:39 UTC  

Well, semi-fuzzy

2019-01-12 07:41:40 UTC  

The US approach on that front is for the most gridlock-prone, slow-moving government feasibly possible

2019-01-12 07:41:59 UTC  

Far superior to the Canadian/British monarchist system

2019-01-12 07:42:22 UTC  

take out the monarch part and our system is pretty good at being representative

2019-01-12 07:42:32 UTC  

especially the UK's, where there are no de jure checks against the monarch's power

2019-01-12 07:42:54 UTC  

```In the case of the government being unable to approve a new budget, they should use whatever funds remain from the last budget
```

2019-01-12 07:42:58 UTC  

thoughts?

2019-01-12 07:43:00 UTC  

Removing the monarch part from the Canadian system leaves no supreme executive authority

2019-01-12 07:43:01 UTC  

Mmmmmmmmm yeah..... The Queen can legally take back authority.

2019-01-12 07:43:19 UTC  

The Queen legally has ALL authority in the UK

2019-01-12 07:43:20 UTC  

She is the head of state technically

2019-01-12 07:43:22 UTC  

consensus is the supreme authority
