Would yo vote for me when I reach the age to run?

I'm very educated on foreign and domestic policies. Evidence:

World hunger? Make programs to make sure less food is wasted in the US

Pollution? I'll invest a lot of the budget in hydro, solar, wind (and maybe nuclear but that's a lot riskier) power generating fields. Also making Earth day in school talk about how to compost (less waste) and reducing, reusing, and recycling. (Also look to unemployment)

War? I'll gently tell Russia that they have enough land and they can spare leaving Ukraine alone. If they decline, we ship even more ammunition and arms to Ukraine (this also helps our debt because we sell stuff)

More war? The war in Israel with Palestine and stuff has been on and off every 30 yrs or so. I'll make a treaty for them to split the land 50/50 and also help make affordable housing so all the people who lost their homes either in the war or the treaty I made still have a place to live. And if they say no we nuke them lol

Illegal immigration? If they have done something illegal since crossing, they will go back. If they have not committed any crimes besides coming here, they will be questioned, and if their story is proven true, they will be allowed to go to a new program that I developed to help people assimilate. Teaches them English, financing, and history curriculum from WWI to present day (if they didn't know it previously), and if they didn't get an education before they get one. After class, they go to a local place that will offer them a job, and 40% of their profit will go to the organization to help keep it running. After their curriculum is complete, they take a naturalization test, and they see if they get in. Then they go on to either college or the workforce and live hopefully happy lives, and no one needs to be deported back to a bad situation (if they didn't come to do something illegal, why would they illegally immigrate unless they're desperate?). They earn a living, education, it ups US production because of more workers, and because they help pay for the program, it's not costing other people.

Drugs? Make new laws making border protection between both states and countries to help. (Besides for medical purposes of course)

US Debt? Small tariffs (3-5%) on all foreign goods from all countries (besides Canada and Mexico because we have the NAFTA agreement of no tariffs) This should up US exports without much trouble for the lower class

Homelessness? Designate areas of land to small affordable houses

Unemployment? There will be jobs that pay for pushing a lever back and forth. You pick and pull, and electricity is generated. Renewable energy.

I'm not gonna go into law or make this my life's dream or something, but against modern day politicians, I think I would be ranked pretty high. Because I have an entire plan, not just the concept of one.

Jared Kushner's father, a convicted felon, is up for Ambassador to France.

I believe that France can refuse this and I think they should. I don't know how most of Trumps picks would ever clear a security check. Oh wait! They're not. They're avoiding doing FBI background checks for all sorts of folks.

My Return

Much has happened since you cast me down in early November. Destroyed my Karma and reinforced your echo chamber. But I'm back. Many of you probably don't even remember me, but maybe 1 or 2 of you do.

It suprised even me when the Joe Biden nominated Trump ad the winner of the election pre-counting. A dead man. Elaborate CGI projection technology that was first used (at least that we know of) to create John McCain in 2008. But now it seems the Biden secret dictatorship has, quite smartly, employed the coffers of Elon Musk and the "mighty and powerful" Joe Rogan to do his bidding. I am unsure of how Trump's term will play out, but I do know that if the government goes so far as to appoint a dead man as President, we aren't escaping the clutches of the "centrist" parties anytime soon.

May Aengus Óg bless your day kind fellows,
