A roofer on Florida was struck by lightning while repairing a roof and he was labeled as a COVID death
It wasn't unintelligible. He yelled "we got a Trumper right here"
I've talked to people who say he shouldn't have had a gun on him at 17. I don't care about that.
These are the only two questions that matter.
If someone chases him into a parking lot and throws a molotov cocktail at him, is he required to accept his date and burn to death?
If he falls down in the street, is he required to accept being lynched by the mob?
The answer to both those questions is obviously no.
Regardless of any mistakes Kyle may have made, nothing negated his right to defend himself when his life was threatened.
To argue otherwise is to suggest he was require to allow the mob to lynch him the minute he tripped and fell down in the road...
My medication went from $200 a month to now $30 a month. Amazing.
Yea, if I was refereeing, I would say that's close enough to "threat to our democracy"
I've been doing this on my facebook page during our nightly fact checks of the DNC and they've been getting progressively harder. Tonight's is pretty much just a list of the most commonly used words and phrases haha
I don't believe in Q because so many of the predictions have been proven wrong.
But if we are just talking about the fact that a Deep State exists (it does) and that there are powerful pedophiles pulling the strings in many segments of our society (they do), I completely believe that
I don't know what is sadder.
Knowing the pain Donald is going through?
Or the fact that there is a Non-Zero number of Leftists calling their sources to try to find out whether Robert died from Covid so they can use that for political purposes.
The editorial staff of this paper pick the headlines.
They chose to highlight a story about mail-in ballots arriving late, no doubt to play into the narrative that Trump is sabotaging the post office, as opposed to running a headline that addresses the fact that there was 846 cases of mail-in voter fraud.
LeadStories is the most full of shit factchecker of them all. They use an algorithm to find Conservative posts that go viral and then find ways to declare them as fake news.
Trump is the only President in generations not to get the US involved in a new conflict.
I had tea at Walid Jumblatt's estate and it was magnificent. They also had anti-air craft guns in the courtyards and armed militia everywhere. If I had to put money on what sect would survive and become stronger from a Civil War Pt II, it would be the Druze
You're right, there were tons of different aspects, which is why I was hesitant to summarize a 15 year civil war in just a couple paragraphs
Lebanon is the only middle eastern country left with a significant christian population. 41% of Lebanon is Christian, they control half of the seats in parliament, and they control the presidency (written into constitution). If Lebanon falls, the last Christian sanctuary in the middle east falls as well
I lived in Lebanon in 2011. Not many people know this, but Lebanon's system of government actually guarantees that Christians maintain a 50% control of parliament.
A lot of the tension within Lebanon is the fact that this constitutional agreement, enacted decades ago, is no longer really reflective of the demographic realities on the ground.
When the National Pact was originally enacted in the 1930s, the deal gave Christians a 6:5 majority in parliament. This made sense at the time, since the 1932 census pegged Christians as 51% of the country's population.
Don't want to oversimplify Lebanese history, but there was a bloody religious civil war from 1975-1990. That ended with the Taif Agreement, which re-structured the Parliament to a 50-50 split between Christians and Muslims, and reduced the Christians' power within the executive branch of government.
During the civil war, much of Lebanon's christian population fled. To put it in perspective, in 1985, it was estimated that only 25% of the country's people were Christian. The result is that there are now more Lebanese living outside Lebanon than within (and most of them are Christians). That reduction in population was part of the reason to justify the reduction in Christian seats in parliament (since there were fewer Christians in Lebanon).
Over time, this growing diaspora (combined with differences between Christian and Muslim birth rates) has resulted in Lebanese Christians making up a smaller and smaller percentage of the population. Most recent estimates peg the Lebanese Christian community at just 41% of the population.
Make no mistake, there are a lot of people on the ground who hate the fact that Christians, with 41% of the population, have 50% of the seats in parliament.
Lebanon is a clusterfuck and proves why it was such a bad idea for the British and French to draw lines in the sand to create countries in the middle east, without caring about the fact that they were creating multi-nation states and multi-state nations...

NRA didn't donate to the Trump campaign, though.
They ran independent parallel advertising.
Plenty of foreigners donate the the ACLU and no one bats an eye when the ACLU engages in politics. But the NRA apparently has to play by different rules.
But... That's how bell curves work...
They are sold in the form of "salts."
If ballots are mailed out, then Trump needs to declare every home a polling place, and prohibit voter intimidation from ballot harvesters.
I didn't even know civilian body cameras were a thing. Is this guy just strapping a GoPro to his chest? Or are there actual bodycams marketed to civilians? Never seen one before...
You could always have her tell a doctor she will likely have to travel to subsaharan Africa at a moment's notice, is worried about getting malaria, and has had a bad reaction to Malarone in the past (which would make HCQ to best option).
I really want Trump to go on offense with the 2nd Amendment. Very glad that he defended the 2nd Amendment from the leftists, but it is time to make progress, not just delay the next anti-gun push.
