Okay, so what is Ramirez saying here?
1. Radical Islam is distinct and separate from ISIS.
2. Radical Islam is a historical component of Paris' most famous cathedral.
3. Radical Islam looks really loving bored.

Why is the gargoyle labeled "Radical Islam"? Did he decide he wanted to put that on there to stick it to NOBAMA but forgot to leave room for it?

With this admin, both. Trump may not get poo poo done, but he recently announced he wants to force grocery stores that accept food stamps to pay a massive fee. It'll gently caress over small grocery stores.

Most political phrases seem to be a) invented by the left b) used by the right FOREVER, approx 1000 years after they were relevant. Often with the opposite meaning.

On March 2, when Ted Cruz called Session's lying to Congress about meetings with the Russians a "nothing burger". So it's yet another horrible thing you can lay directly at the feet of Ted Cruz.

Clearly, radical islam was placed there to share away evil spirits that may otherwise roost in the rafters of Notre Dame. But it isn't working on ISIS, for obvious reasons.

There's also John Tyler, who, after his presidency ended, was elected to the Virginia Secession Convention, voted to secede from the United States, and was then elected to the Confederate House of Representatives. He died shortly after (and was buried in a Confederate flag), so he didn't accomplish as much evil as Jackson, but in terms of lovely-human-being-ness, betraying the country you were president of in order to fight for the right to own slaves is pretty high up there.

I mean there was a lot of absurd, stupid poo poo that went down in the upper echelons of the Third Reich but the Nazis still killed millions of people.

It's better in the long term if Trump keeps bumbling around the Oval Office like Mr. Magoo but that doesn't make the suffering he'll cause less real.

How the gently caress is Buchanan a worse president than Andrew "Trail of Tears" Jackson?

How is Andrew Jackson worse than Franklin Delano "Lock up all the Japanese people" Roosevelt? That it ended after FDR was gone while the forced relocation of the tribes didn't is irrelevant, since FDR died while those people were still locked up in brutal conditions and their homes and property seized. And Japanese internment affected nearly 3 times as many people as Trail of Tears

If we go by full on atrocities, then we can't say that Jackson was significantly worse than a lot of presidents.

Well, the Trail of Tears was an attempted genocide, whereas the Japanese-American internment camps weren't. Which isn't to say the internment camps weren't an atrocity, it's just clearly a step below genocide.

Fulchrum's right you guys. The holocaust was technically a genocide because some Jews lived.

Glad Fulchrum was here to stop our worry over the death of countless Native Americans at the hands of the US government since it technically wasn't a genocide in his book.

So, if the initial intent is not the total extermination of a race but the final (and inevitable) result is, it is merely the manslaughter equivalent of a genocide. Gotcha.

I'm sure that the reason why Jackson didn't kill every last native American and instead just forcibly relocated them was that the allies arrived in time to stop him.

Or are you saying that the Nazis had a spot in Belgium they had all the Jews march to where they now live?
