You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader.

no more room in hell

It wasn’t a command. The Crusades were an offer to make murder a prayer for salvation.

Was quite popular. Didn’t matter if they were Saracens, Jewish folks, or even other Xians by the end.

I appreciate you asking this question so that I could learn about you and your dad. He sounds awesome.

The sense of relief is allowed and shared by many kids that have gone through what you have gone through. The weight of the load and burden is really only understood once is has been lifted.

That’s a good lad; worry not.

To answer your question: It does not still apply.

That would include the American people, then, too. We elected NAZIs. We used nuclear weapons. We created a reservation system for most every country we invaded. In 250 years we have been at peace for 19 of them.

It is not just the president. All 300++ million of us are accountable.

Checks and balances wasn’t about avoiding fascism.

It was to make sure all three branches of governments stayed in power over the body politic.

And they still are in power.

The French Revolution created an easier method for reforming The Republic and rewriting their constitution.

They enshrined the revolutionary aspects of revolution instead of its leaders.

That said the Federalists got part of the idea from ancient Lycia on having proportional representation and then added in keeping it in check by another chamber with equal footing.

It is a good idea. But we need more Congresspersons to lower the people each congressperson represents. It was ~95,000 in 1940 … in 2020 it is closer to 750,000 per congresscritter.

microslippages: some of us just call it what it is … masturbation

Trump wants the population to be closer to 100 million. He said that before the start of one of his press conferences to a journalist … something to the effect that “we could use 2/3 less of all of you.”

He is willing to kill off a lot of us to make his life easier. The USA elected a right wing Pol Pot.

Going to continue devouring the scientific world with lots of smart Westerners leaving the new SlaveTastic^tm USA

“Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder ‘why, why, why?’
Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand."

Moth just fucks

“if you can keep it”

From tragedy to farce as you give Trump credit for the work of Nobel prize winning medical scientists Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman. Bloodly hell we are moving towards being North Korea.

“safe nuclear”: Between 1944 and 1971, pump systems drew as much as 75,000 US gallons per minute (4,700 L/s) of cooling water from the Columbia River to dissipate the heat produced by the reactors. Before its release into the river, the used water was held in large tanks known as retention basins for up to six hours. Longer-lived isotopes were not affected by this retention, and several terabecquerels entered the river every day. The federal government kept knowledge about these radioactive releases secret.

They don’t give a shit about that. They don’t pick up their phones.

They have automated email responses, and if you send them an email you are put on their campaign donation mailing lists.

If you can’t get in their face or them into your back pocket it is not worth it.

Revolution is required at this point.

Trump is trying to recreate the slave state in the United States of America.

He is not going to deport immigrants.

He is going to use them for slave labor.

Misandry is not going to help anyone but misogynists

You will be used as childcare repeatedly for their fun.

And they will make you look like the bad guy in front of your kids if you flinch.

Prepare for that.
