Trump's Bavarian grandfather skedaddled from obligatory military service and emigrated to the US, at one point operating an eatery and cat house in the Yukon.

"You shall also love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt."
Deuteronomy 10:19

You can buy books, especially the leather-ish bound sets, literally by the foot to fill up bookshelves.
It's for pretentious phlucks who don't actually "read" anything worth keeping, much less displaying.
This is just going even cheaper and dumber.
Perfect for Trump and his Idiocracy.

Indubitably.

He got to work with shaping up the hay-foot, straw-foot crowd!

Let it be noted, the amount of foreign assistance the Americans in rebellion received from the French and Spanish was massive. For openers. Spanish blankets, tents, blankets, and other supplies kept many of Washington s troops from freezing during the winter of 1777-1778. Four years later, at the end of the revolution's kinetic phase, Cornwallis found himself frozen in place at Yorktown because a French fleet was parked up his backside.

If you want to make sense here, try reading the posts before wading in.
Otherwise, just proceed as usual.

Navalny paid a heavy price for clear thinking. Thanks for reminding us.

Evidently there are enough mouth-breathers and aspiring swindlers in the voting population to make the chances of actually getting elected to a place at the trough worth the while of such obvious frauds as Tuberville. That is largely on the voters. The people who created the political system in this country were well aware of the problems posed by ignoramuses and crazed partisans canceling out the votes of reasonable folk. It was a central problem that inevitably arose during Enlightenment period discussions and pamphlet wars about the politics to come.

"I love the uneducated."
Donald J. Trump

It will be a haul, unwashing Americans brains about "socialism" from the idiotic tropes socialism's enemies have used to misdefine the term.

However ...

77 million Americans voted for Donald Trump after he was impeached twice, convicted of 34 felonies, adjudicated a sexual abuser, had a children's cancer charity closed down on him for ripping it off, on the grounds that would somehow "make America great again."(No wonder Old Yeller proclaims his love for "the uneducated." (For Trump, "uneducated" means "stupid.")

So it seems a lot of very impressionable people walk among us.

Like so many mentally challenged individuals with anger management issues, holy roller Tony Spell has found a most welcome home within the slathering MAGA mob.

With Trump, classy, quality, solid work always comes first. The man is, after all, a genius. At everything. No, don't bother asking. He will tell you and tell you and tell you and tell you and tell you and ... It's almost like he's a loon who feels insecure and just not up to it. Now, I axe ya, why is that, do you suppose?

Read Animal Farm, reflect, get back in a month and report back. Ta-ta.

"Rhetoric paints with a broad brush."
George Carlin

You squeeze out some optimism where you can find it, Corky!

Asking a MAGAt to define terms like "communism" is a fool's errand. It's a shame, because their ignorance and fondness for "alternative facts" makes serious discussion simply impossible. And that's a shame because it mutes what should be the sort of societal discussions that make for a healthy polity.

you're saying capital murder crime is just as bad as OnlyFans?

What's OnlyFans? Judging by your posts only, am I correct in thinking that's some goofy site you nestle into to--------? If so, thanks but no thanks.

"Please, yes, sirs, welcome, most welcome, please make yourself comfortable before ... The issues? Yes, of course, the issues, of which you say three and we have expressed the view it may really be a bit closer to four ... Tea? Pistachio cake, utterly sublime, from a family that has been baking in Tehran since the Mongol horses' hoofbeats disappeared in their own dust ... Of course, you're right: it loses something in translation ... Now, then, when you say strait' do you mean a straight as in a poker hand? ... Do you like that rug, the fine one from Bokhara?"

"So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state."

Do I get a cookie for unmasking the person who attempted to rig the election on Georgia?

It's not "whataboutism," - it's called perspective (and yours is underdeveloped).

Speaking of barbarity, of the 35 countries in Americas there is only one which legally justifies putting people to death.
