Someone sold them on the idea blow up the top guy the people will rise up. Doesn’t seem to be working very well

Telling the Vicar of Christ, Archbishope of Rome to stay out of secular matters is somthing we have been arguing about since the 800s. I am not sure Madam is aware of this.

As I understand it and granted this is really more of a hobby research he would fit neatly into Anglican teritory as the Anglicans were fairly anti-Calvin/Baptist much more high church types.

I’m remembering SA bomb in the basement strategy. I think a good number can rig at least a dirty bomb and an artillery shell.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have β€˜voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

That consensus began to collapse with the culture wars and has only been supercharged with the consolidation of the media market

If you read the state department records from the 1950s, there’s a huge emphasis on the distribution of factual information and scrutiny of government policy as a means to counter Soviet propaganda. Of course, this did not always live up to the ideal, but I do think there was a cultural consensus

I think we are seeing a cultural reversion to the pre-WWI era of journalism where the focus is heavily on profit. 1920ish to 1990ish I think there was much more of a consensus that the role of journalism was there too inform the public, especially in light of the emergence of propaganda and Cold War

Is there something to be said about Denmark being more culturally homogeneous and having a more fragmented political landscape as driving the precipitation these policies were winners

I think my dear colleague’s argument about Ukraine posing a existential threat to Russias elites is well made.

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

So Venezuela was basically a coup that Trump enabled. Iran looks like a different kettle of fish. My advice currently, duck

Can’t we just agree civilians are not a legitimate target and we should never celebrate collateral damage. Oh wait we did in the UDHR and UN Charter but people have short memories

I would bet initially much of what was being collected was distributed and suspected to be planted because there is just no way anyone is that careless πŸ˜‘

I would have loved a second season it had some challenges but what a great idea and what a third act.

I checked out her bio…I am so very confused. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« I mean sure Arkansas country music okay but a carpet bagger and elite Swiss boarding school.

Seems like a lot of it boils down to Reform being poor losers and establishment types not being able to accept normal people are tired of getting kicked around

But I’m rather surprised to hear this crop up in the UK as far as I can tell there elections are highly localized and well managed

I’ve definitely heard of this in the US but it’s usually very conservative families. It really doesn’t seem to me to be scalable. Also the left wing party with the female candidate and gay Jewish leader did win so the whole it’s Muslim immigrants doing it seems a bit suspect.

All of those are indeed words however I fail to understand their meaning
