    U.S. Annexing Canada (split fm Liberal Minority thread)

    Actually its about 20 months, give or take. The primaries are in 2026, and historically they have gone against a sitting president. I'm not sure which MAGA/Democratic seats are in play, but it is conceivable that the Democrats could win back either the HoR or Senate, or possibly both.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    The problem is that the buyout is for seven months, but government funding is only good until March. A second problem is speculation that the Office of Personnel Management may not have authority to make this offer. Watch and see. In Soviet Russia they were called Politico Officers/Commissars.

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    You asked if any individuals had been charged, you didn't give a timeline. As to why their haven't been any recent arrests I could make some guesses, but they would be just that guesses/speculation. Edit: After some thought changed part of my answer.
