In eight years, people on here will be saying that the Dems were just as responsible for it.

agnostic History Day is every day. Maybe be someone who is plural, a disabled person or part of the Disco Elysium fandom or even someone who has autism. You should reevaluate your agnostic privilege Bobby. You never had to fight for your right to coexist in society.

Josephus, although he is supplying what is then the commonly accepted account. Along with the religious writings, it's generally taken as sufficient evidence the man existed, unless you want to adopt hermeneutics that result in nearly no one historical existing.

BROKE: Jesus existed and was the Son of God.

WOKE: Jesus never existed.

BESPOKE: No one exists.

Maybe I'm over my skis here, but I think the only way out of this, once all these people are out of power, involves a number of death sentences.

Interesting how the story says Iran can't win and that their strategy is increasing political pressure on the White House. I guess reporters also think war is just about who can make the biggest booms.

I once had an Iraq veteran in one of my classes claim that Iran was a democracy because they elected their president. I easily disabused him of that belief, although a student evaluation would later complain that I contradicted a veteran's lived experience.

I remember pointing out in my undergrad newspaper that, pace Paul Wolfowitz, Iraq did have a history of ethnic conflict.

I fear we are approaching a point where Trump decides that nukes are the best way to make all of this go away.
