We use the Latin root word 'deo' (god) for a lot our words about god/religion - so for instance 'diety' and 'diesm', and the inverse of "diesm" from that root would be more like 'adiesm', but for who knows why English appears to revert all way back to the Greek root 'theos' when forming the word 'atheism' or 'theocratic' Go figure. I definitely recommend this miniseries for history minded folk I have the series on dusty DVDs in my bookcase. I guess its available on the youtubes. I wouldn't call English mutt in a derogatory way. Its just the language that has slept around the most because of the British Empire, the United States post WWII Pax, the fact that India needed to be part of the international economy and computers...yes the latter being the biggest reason currently. 1 Quote

CMRivdogs Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Republicans keep harping on Jones, who is basically persona non grata by most of the party now. i bet our Indiana Troll will come up with a but what about if I pointed out Trumps comments in public about wanting to execute Liz Chaney, Hilary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, General Mark Milley, The Central Park 5 ( who were acquitted, btw ) I can't wait for his non funny memes Quote
romad1 Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 I had dinner in Herndon… a semi leafy suburb of DC. We saw a NK protest on King Street about a block from the restaurant . We heard honking horns all during dinner…had many nice conversations with people coming in from the protests. MAGA hates America. Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted October 19 Posted October 19 NK protest today national estimate 7-8 million. 3:00pm eastern Georgia vs Ole Miss viewers 15 million. Quote

They were the people who were cheering for the people with the bloodhounds during that episode of Charlies Angels when the girls had to escape from the workfarm. 1 Quote

Not a chance they rooted against Charlie’s Angels. Those were pretty white women, not brown people. Quote

I suppose that's true. But a fascist is a fascist. Maybe better if I say they were the people who identified with the guy who told "Cool Hand Luke" that he was just doing his job. Quote

romad1 Posted October 23 Author Posted October 23 What does the sudden destruction of the East Wing tell you about Trump? He's aware that he's got a limited time left as President. The concept of "terminal urgency" is one i've mentioned before. Basically professor Post taught that leaders who sense the end is coming who want to cement their legacy are very prone to radical action. The results can be wars, white elephant projects. I think the combination of his weird hand thing which he's given many clues about when he talks about not getting into heaven and the Epstein Files indicates he's worried about what comes after.
