Singing a song of angry men
If that's your takeaway. But your question was to someone saying that the Democrats would write a strong letter, implying that she should get a pass because she's powerless now, when she had several opportunities to act on this before and chose not to. Her writing a letter now is not praiseworthy. She deliberately failed to pick effective strategies until she now is in a position where she has zero effective strategies. And lots of people said so at the time, this isn't hindsight.
Or exhausted... or terrified. There's a range of sane reactions to this insane world.
Now? Not much. But when she ran for President she could have disavowed Biden's support for genocide, or not campaigned with the Cheneys. If she had influence in the Biden adm. she could have put pressure on Garland to investigate (Jail, prosecute, execute) the Jan6 terrorists such Trump and the other Republicans. If Biden cared he could have appointed an AG who would do so. Or at least declared the Jan6 terrorists enemy combatants and execute them when SCOTUS ruled he was allowed to do so.
Yep, he was on board with right-wing populism until a scandal in 2024. Additionally Orban has spent 16 years revising the Hungarian constitution to have a ton of roadblocks for any non-Orban government. Even if the opposition wins there's a real risk that it won't be able to govern, and Orban gets to trigger another election in less than 8 months. If he wins Magyar might not veto aid to Ukraine and take minor steps back from Orban's authoritarianism but for everything else temper expectations.
Neither Josephus nor Tacitus were contemporaries with Jesus, both being born after and writing 50+ years after (Pliny wrote even later, in 112 CE, 80 years after). Maybe Tacitus had access to official Roman documents corroborating his existence. However both historians record what *their* contemporary Christians believe. So we are 50+ years removed and get it through biased retellings recorded by ancient historians. It's some really flimsy evidence to go "certainly" with.
Anyone with media illiteracy, caught up in a cult, or with an IQ below 85 could believe it. So there are at least 70 million candidates for believing it.
Think of the positives: Now those kids don't have to grow up in a world with Charlie Kirk, and they don't have to suffer through having Kirk as a parent.
Everything leading up to the January 6th, 2021 terrorist attack and coup attempt. He had a part in organising it, he funded busses, and he advocated for the attack. Easy enough, and you could have figured that out yourself if you had applied even a first thought to the topic.
What murder? Sometimes Fascist terrorist scumbags attacking women, workers, academics, LGBTQ+ people, BIPOC, Muslim, etc. just have their neck explode spontaneously. We're all terribly sorry he wasn't tried, convicted, and executed for his crimes of course.
Looks like a perfect chaos gremlin. <3
Fair point. XD
That is a deeply unfair comparison. Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf spoke very good English.
Him and a hundred thousand Republicans (Donors, appointees, elected officials, etc.) need to be utterly humiliated before they're ceremoniously waterboarded to death on TV. 70 million should be educated before they're allowed to vote again.
In which case they should be treated as enemy combatants and shot. But we all know that Democrats will just accept a Trump pardon as legitimate because then they can "work together" with their "Republican friends" to "promote unity and reconciliation".

For an in-depth explanation, see any number of essays (Like this: https://youtu.be/-1iaJWSwUZs?si=XPm2ybnGDWUXZ6mX&t=4641 ). But 1) Hermione was consistently portrayed as in the wrong by the author in the books; 2) liberation was portrayed by the author as self-destructive in the books; 3) the author herself wrote a blog post on the many merits of slavery because she's an insane slavery apologist.
You need a thousand Luigis to work full time for a year to enforce all the judgments.
Is it? The Roman Crisis of the Third Century was 50 years and predated the eventual fall of the Western Roman Empire by 100 years, so total of ~150 years of death throes. The Delhi Sultanate was declining for 75 years before falling to the Mughals, which in turn took 150 years to fall to the EIC. Qing China spent 1839-1912 in decline before the Chinese Revolution. Tsarist Russia spent 1856-1917 in decline before the Russian Revolution. By that comparison, 38 years decline wasn't that long IMO.
If you want a fairly restrictive example, check this Danish government website:https://www.personregistrering.dk/hc/en-gb/articles/360021482040-Choice-of-names-and-naming-rulesThere's a list of approved first names you can pick from. If you want an unapproved name (Usually foreign, but also memes), you apply for approval and may be granted it. But if you don't get approval you can't name your kid that legally. Most people select a name from the approved list.
The Senate and House are different institutions. The Speaker of the House can decide on the House's schedule (Bar a few exceptions) as long as a majority of the Representatives maintain their support for the Speaker. In the technical sense he didn't shut down the senators, he just didn't schedule their bill for a vote in the House. It amounts to the same thing, but the latter phrasing is grounded in his powers. The solution is either a discharge petition or removal (Or execution, that's best).
Erika Kirk doesn't deserve your compassion. She deserves to have her neck vein opened spontaneously like her husband had his. You can't punch down on a Nazi, you can only punch in righteous fury.
Radicalising an entire generation and giving dissidents weapons and experience worked well for the Romanovs. *nods*
What, might I ask, is left of religion if you remove the parts that humans interpret and practise? The books and stories are always interpreted and reinterpreted, the rituals are interpreted and practised. If the fault with religion lies with interpretation and practise, then the fault is inherent to religion.

This. If he just dies, he escapes. He has to be tried, convicted, and waterboarded to death in his own diarrhea. His sycophants, appointees, donors, etc. also have to be tried, convicted, and drowned in Trump's diapers. When the tumor is removed the healing can begin. But for posterity it has to be painfully obvious to future fascist scumbag wannabe leaders that their path ends in their own suffering.
No, paedophilia is the correct spelling in English. It's easy to look up as well, on free sources like Wiktionary:https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paedophilia"British standard spelling"
Yes it's standalone and you can see it without having seen/read anything else. But there are a lot of connections to the main story that are enhanced by having read ASOIAF too, and the worldbooks. There's also a good amount of worldbuilding in the main series that the Dunk series can't get into because it's a much more focused/grounded story. So while I heartily recommend AKOTSK (series or books), there are some deep, fun rabbit holes to get into if you have read ASOIAF and worldbooks first.
He needs to live for some time in order to fill all those diapers that will be needed to smother his appointees and supporters until they drown in his diarrhea. He can be waterboarded until he's shat himself enough and then executed.
Fukushima was 1) built in the 70ies to older safety standards; 2) beyond its planned lifespan; 3) not properly updated since building; 4) reports came prior to the 2011 incident of the exact flaws that could have been repaired; 5) hit by an earthquake, tsunami, and electricity failure at the same time, which is avoidable in countries not prone to earthquakes; 6) only 1 died, 24 people were injured in the incident. Fukushima effectively proves the extreme safety of nuclear power.
