He actually has something worthwhile to say. Its just too bad that he, like most libertarians, has a middle school-like mentality getting in the way of expressing himself.

The slogan says "Resurrected, grown strong again"

Can someone kindly explain to me why they are so loving proud about 1453. Constantinople was not even a city by that point, the population was maybe 50000 and it was several communities inside the walls. The old palaces were abandoned. I mean beating the Serbs at Kosovo was actually far more of a great success or the seizing of Gallipoli then finishing off a wounded animal.



That or Manzikert.

I take umbrage with that bit as the Air Force never used the Harrier. Only the Marine Corps did and who the gently caress cares what/why they fly anything tbh

To be fair, it's more about China actively trying to stamp out Cantonese as a language.

Could you have been born, Richardson? And not egg-hatched as I've always assumed? Did your mother hover over you, snaggle-toothed and doting as you now hover over me?
This is probably old, but it has an eternal quality to it.

bad news bareback
Jan 16, 2009


From a couple pages back but my sister was a high school guidance counselor for one of the worst high schools in Las Vegas. She had the highest rate of minority student enrollment into ivy league schools until her boss started sabotaging her in weird ways. For instance the boss would re-assign my sister's administrators to different depts leaving my sister to do all the paperwork, things like this. Eventually my sister went to the boss and asked what was going on and the boss straight up told her "you're not here to get THOSE kids into college, stop it". She didn't stop and eventually the workplace got so hostile that she had to quit Clark county entirely and she and her family got a job at a private school in the UAE to pay off their insane debts from owning a home in Vegas.

Apparently Trump was the clueless dolt in this.
After reading the article, it appear that he's not a clueless dolt (on this), just a belligerent and cavalier dolt.
