Strangely doesn't know the Roman number IV, though. Still an awesome picture nonetheless.

All the giant real estate investments companies have made is now coming due and they cant fill up their buildings fast enough to get those tax breaks

What are these tax breaks for filling up buildings?

In this case, it seems he was boldly talking about assassinating Democratic congressman in a public restaurant and someone recorded him.

Who even uses that definition outside of super niche communities?

So a good person who behaves like Christ but grows up in a rural village and has never heard of Christianity or read the Bible would be a Christian under this definition?

Wow! More conservative projection accusing others of something they themselves are doing. Weird!!

Modern?

Has it increased in some way over time? I think men not wanting to wear condoms because of how they feel is a tale as old as the condom itself.

In that case, this seems like a learning opportunity for you.

Western European countries have rule of law and don't disappear or mulch people when they break the law, letting them retain their rights.

This counterexample would seem to completely undermine your claim that America's incredibly high incarceration rates are just "what happens" when citizens retain rights after breaking the law.

That's what happens when citizens break the law and retain their rights in the eyes of the state

Is it? Why don't European countries have a similarly high incarceration rate then?

This article seems pretty biased and poorly written.

I struggled to find the part where Iran rejected calls to end support.

They seem to be more denying that they are supporting.

These articles about Houthi never seem to present what evidence we have that Iran is supporting. Are we all just taking government claims at face value with no presentation of the evidence needed?

Yup, you're a real hero with your populism. Look how great that turned out.

People these days treat democracy like a damned religion instead of a system of governance. Turns out though that complex decisions often benefit from expertise instead of letting the lowest common denominator decide.
