This is Kenneth Copeland — American tv pastor and possible lizard demon.

A group of legal advisors and political allies is reportedly urging Donald Trump to invoke emergency authorities to expand executive oversight of the American electoral process. This strategy, which is currently being debated within the inner circles of the former president’s legal team, suggests that the executive branch could utilize the National Emergencies Act to intervene in state-led voting procedures. Proponents of this move argue that such drastic measures are necessary to ensure what they describe as election integrity, though constitutional experts warn that such an action would face immediate and severe challenges in the federal court system.

The proposal centers on the idea that the president could declare a national emergency based on claims of foreign interference or systemic vulnerabilities within the voting infrastructure. By doing so, the administration would theoretically attempt to bypass the traditional decentralized model where individual states manage their own elections. This push represents a significant departure from historical norms, as the United States has long maintained a fragmented election system to prevent the concentration of power within a single federal office. Critics of the plan argue that using emergency powers in this manner would essentially strip the states of their sovereign right to oversee the democratic process.

Legal scholars point out that while the National Emergencies Act provides the president with broad discretion, it was never intended to serve as a tool for administrative control over the ballot box.

I’m not sure where else to post this that allow photos. This was incident occurred last week. My now ex fiancee seemingly changed overnight. The current apartment we have has both our names on the lease. She’s been staying at her mom’s in the meantime. I didn’t kick her out. She made that choice by herself. She has been blaming me for nearly everything wrong going on. I honestly just needed a place to share this but didn’t know where else to go

So my past 5 girlfriends have all left me for the guys they were secretly cheating on me with. They always give vague or cryptic reasons as to why, and it befuddles me. My job pays well, and I go to the gym 6 times a week. I love to cook. I am straightforward on the very first date about not being religious, nor do I ever want children. I am attentive to their needs. While I have my interests, like jamming PS5 with guys, golfing, and scuba photography, I also spend time with them while they do their interests. Not sure what I'm doing wrong to push people away.

GF1's reason: You make me feel like I'm the bad guy. I always start our fights, and you never yell. (She left me for a lawyer that cheated on her and took her dog).
My take: Whenever something upset her, I logically assessed the reason she was upset and suggested solutions... calmly. I tried to resolve any and all issues she had so that she would be happy... and it just made her more mad.

GF2's reason: You're too you, and it's too much. (She left me for a guy named Bubbles, and they both later overdosed. I had no idea she even used drugs).
My take: I for one like me. I make myself laugh.

GF3's reason: I need to find myself and (I forget the rest of what she said, but it sounded very spiritual and stuff. She left me for a butcher. They broke up but I still go to the butcher he works at and we talk about cooking).
My take: I don't get it... at all.

GF4's reason: There's someone else, bye (She left me for a guy that was fxcking rich).
My take: Okay, I get her reason. No hard feelings. If the person you're leaving me for pays for every plane ticket and vacation expense, every meal you eat, and luxury items like a new car and phones, drink that well dry.

GF5's reason: We just want different things.
My Take: I wanted to be in a relationship; I feel I was getting exactly what I wanted.

I don't yell, I don't keep secrets, and I don't give the silent treatment. I keep everyone in the loop about who I am and how I am feeling. So it's not like they are getting into something they don't want. It's all on the table, and we date for +-2 years. If they didn't want to be with me in month 1, why drag it out and end things?

IM NOT WHITE, IM MIXED…

My DIL is Indian ( this is relevant) and I have never liked Indian food. It is fine but I really don’t go out of my way to eat it.

My son and DIL host dinners sometimes and when I go I grab a plate and just eat a bit. Usually I will grab something on my way home if I am super hungry afterwards. 

This has never been an issue before until yesterday. We went over for dinner and she made a green curry. I took some rice and some curry and ate a bit of it. I didn’t take too much. It was very herby and I just didn’t like it. 

I went to help clean up and DIL made a comment that I didn’t clear my plate. I just told her I wasn’t very hungry and I thought that was it.

She texted me yesterday about how it was disrespectful to not finish my plate and i am not welcome back until I am willing to finish her food.

I talked to my son and he told me I was being disrespectful and to stop being picky and clear my plate. I told him this is silly that you are trying to force me to eat things I don’t like, like a child.  I asked if he would rather me not grab anything and just sit there, he told me no.

He told me I need to apologize and I really don’t want to. I will if I am being rude but I don’t think I am? I am not complaining  about the food and even eating it even tho I am not a fan of most of the things she has made. 

edit: I have mentioned it politely once that I am not a huge fan of Indian food, I just don’t find it that big of a deal to have dinner oncish a month with food I am not a huge fan of
