Trump lied--I know, right? Donald Trump lying?--about the Insurrection Act today. He claimed it was invoked by nearly 50% of the presidents dozens of times. The Insurrection Act has only been invoked by 15 presidents (there's only been 45) and only 29 times. Trump claims President George H.W. Bush used the Insurrection Act 28 times. In reality, Bush 41 only invoked the Insurrection Act twice. Once to suppress looting in the Virgin Islands and, at the request of city and state leaders, during the Los Angeles riots after the Rodney King verdict.

If you look at the list of invocations, the Insurrection Act is only used as a temporary solution taking roughly 24 hours. It's not something used to take control of a city and use as an excuse to stop elections. President Ulysses Grant used the Insurrection Act the most with 6 times. And most of those were white supremacist uprisings after the Civil War.

Anyway, I know that Trump is a moron and he's constantly lying and lies so much that he can't really keep them all straight, but doesn't anyone else find his lying tiring? This is easily findable information. Now, I can understand your average Trump supporter not knowing or understanding or knowing where to get the information that as a part of NATO, the United States is required to defend other NATO countries and they are required to help defend us, so making threats against Denmark/Greenland seems like bad politicking but this Insurrection Act stuff is just maddening. And I swear that sometimes he just brings up stuff like this as some form of gloating. "Hey, look what I know. I bet none of you have heard of this. I'm big brain man! I passed three cognitive tests."

"Rotten...Rotten...Rotten...both work and home. I hate you all."

Kewpie's still a fan though.

Oh, well Happy *mumbles random numbers*th Anniversary, Veeblefester. Of course their marriage has lasted. Someone stands to lose a lot of money if they get divorced and neither Rancid or Lividea want to do that. They both have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle and can't go back to being one of the poors.
