I hate the electric toilet flush handles used in Tesla, but I must admit it did feel impressive when I encountered it the first time. I was hitchhiking and was allowed in a car. The door handle was kind of visible but… not really a handle?!

So, I kind of put my hand near it in confusion and “bzzrt”, it came out of the door, allowing me to open the door. It was a cool experience.
Still not one I’d be ready to risk my life for, though.

In the video you can see that this didn’t happen in reality.

They can put anyone in the “detention centers” if they have suspicion that the person is illegally in the country.
Of course the person can show passport or other sort of ID, but the SA goons can just decide they never saw it. Then that person is an unidentified alien in a “detention center” and will stay there until they disappear.

Ah, good point indeed!

Largely true.
But the ambassadors don’t really have the luxury of that. Their job is to represent the United States and they are required to generally support what their country’s leadership says. So, their job is to make some semblance of sense of what Trump is saying. Or, alternatively, they can quit.

Not just any random escalation, though.

The narcissist has a plan they are following their game. If that escalation is part of their plan, that’s is absolutely not how you deal with them. Escalate, by all means. But only in a way that benefits your situation.

EPA could absolutely just ignore the law when making regulations. It wouldn’t even need any congressional authority. It just makes the law and when someone sues them, the judge says “nah, it’s okay with me” and that’s it.

At least Wiktionary completely agrees with you!

Literally it’s more like “non-speakers”, though, isn’t it? Nie + mowić = Not + to speak.

So, maybe in contemporary Polish the word has been polished to mean “mute”, but could be that they were “those damn non-speakers [of our Polish] across that river-thing!”

Not in US politics. If you have 51% of votes of whoever is The Party at the moment, you can make decisions without others impeding on them.

If one party got 51 % of votes, then that means 26,01 % of all votes is enough to decide about the all of the country’s things alone.
