Planet of the Apes TV series is hilarious to me. It really feels like Coy & Vance Duke where sent to the Planet Of The Apes.

There hasn’t been direct democracy in the USA, ever.

We are not a direct democracy.

What your saying doesn’t exist is an Artificial General Intelligence, something approaching the conscious human mind. Your right that doesn’t exist.

The mall I used to ride my bike to as a child, where my favorite Arcade (Aladdin’s Castle) & had a toy store (K.B. Toys) was leveled to the ground about 20 years ago, with the exception of like two restaurants at the corner of the building.

My guess is at a minimum he trys to hold Crimea
