But that explanation is lost to time.
One translation I read suggested a probable explanation.
Rasputin's phone advice was the same as many modern quacks: keep the patient away from modern medicine and doctors.
So the hemophiliac prince was no longer given his normal cocktail of drugs, which probably included a new medicine for the time: aspirin.
Stop giving a blood thinner to a hemophiliac and his condition (temporarily) improved. The best explanation for the people at the time was "magic".
I honestly think if he took his shirt off it would cost him the election.
Seeing the flabby, 78-year-old American physique in all its glory would be both a literal and figurative "emperor has no clothes" moment for many of his cultists.
Yes your quote really drives home my point. They wrote the debate qualifications specifically so that rfkjr wouldnt make the cut.
From what I understand, he will probably qualify for the ballot in all 50 states. Since this debate is happening unusually early, his ballot access has not been certified yet.
I dont feel strongly about rfk, it's probably better for America that he is not on that stage. But this is just one more example of how our two political parties operate in a corrupt, anti-democratic way. They have no principles nor morals, its power politics all the way down.
Rfkjr is literally crazy, yes, but it's hard to deny the fact that the debate qualification rules were written specifically to exclude him.
If you actually agreed with their message, then I don't think you would take the time to whinge about the safety of the precious rocks.
We used to torture some folks.
We still do, but we used to, too.
How do you think those rocks will fare when the average temperature rises a few degrees?
Do you think the big stones will avoid damage while humans are fighting wars over water?
Are those precious rocks going to be ok when countries near the equator become uninhabitable, and the UK has to violently defend its borders from millions of climate refugees?
Do you think it can still be considered a cultural heritage site after all the humans are dead?
As much as I would love to see the destruction of the IDF, I really fear for the Lebanese people.
An all out war means massive bombing in all major cities including Beirut and Tel Aviv. The range of artillery and drones mean nowhere would be safe in either country. IDF ground forces, battle-hardened against unarmed civilians, would likely lose to Hezbollah. But Israel would likely control the skies, leading to a protracted, bloody stalemate. Like the battlefields of Ukraine, but worse.
The people of Lebanon are already suffering so much, but this would bring about a new level of devastation.
But I believe the logic of mutually assured destruction applies here. Even the most bloodthirsty Likudniks, despite their saber rattling, will not force an all out war.
I'm sure the Biblical Womanhood Council has lively debates on the subject.
"The female orgasm is a myth" vs "The female orgasm is a sin"
The fact that theres 175k convictions in a smaller state is rather shocking.
Think about all that effort by judges, DAs, police, corrections, etc. All of these people, paid by taxpayers, could have been tasked with doing something beneficial to society. Instead they participated in a counterproductive, racist, braindead prohibition scheme. What a waste.
So in this latest tit-for-tat, the "terrorist organization" precisely targeted a military vehicle.
Then, "the most moral army in the world" responded by dropping internationally banned chemical agent on a few towns.
