That's because their calls of "is it time to extinguish the Nobel Prize?" fell on deaf ears when Trump got his first nomination. Despite Obama winning a Peace Prize for literally no reason, Joe Public still sees the Nobel Price as a very prestigious institution.

I wish you would share with the class what you're smoking.
Seems like Brad Parscale has a nice settlement payout coming for inappropriate use of force. Talking calmly to the officer, then tackled by SWAT. What a shitshow.
I think they worded themselves poorly. It's not income that people lose disproportionately, it's what they have left after expenses. When you earn 1.5k a month and end the month with 150 bucks to your name, a 10% income tax hurts you a lot more than if you earned 5k a month and ended the month with 3k in your account. Living expenses don't scale linearly with income at the lowest levels, so flat taxes work great when everybody earns enough to be comfortable.
Eh, you go back and looked Bush 2, Trump isn't that exceptional. The largest change is that social media now gives us the ability to catalog every random voter's opinions causing an amplification effect. They may try punishing the voters, but Trump will be replaced by a new boogey man as soon as the next republican runs for office.

Well yes the obvious answer of what's stopping it - I meant philosophically.
They've burned down the White House once and they've been riding that high ever since.
In fairness, the HRE had become little more than a glorified Germany by the 15th century. Efforts to keep it the dominant European power had long suffered due to the political instability of the realm.
The British Empire did. Canadians just watched.
