This is how all world wars began. Major powers don't start them with each other. That's too dangerous. Instead they always let themselves get dragged into it by their proxy nations.

I'm including the Peloponnesian War, which tore apart the Greek empire quite similarly to WW1 & 2. It didn't start with Athens and Sparta directly.

Let's ban corporations from owning residential property. It makes zero sense.

Record the farts. Sample the audio. Create music.

He's too senile to change tactics. I'm willing to bet half the reason he chose Vance was because they knew he was going to screw up and say Pence a bunch, and the similarity of pronunciation would give them plausible deniability.

Mark my words. These people are not just willing, but eager to unleash nuclear hellfire in the Middle East, under the ludicrous delusion that they can fulfill prophecy and force Jesus to return. They shouldn't be trusted to run fast food joints or craft supply stores, much less a superpower. It's an apocalypse cult. They've convinced themselves that they're better than everyone, but their religion spread across the globe by genocide, enslavement, and forced conversion, not by loving their neighbors. They have been trying to end the world for 2000 years.

As a veteran, if a woman had done this to me, I wouldn't even be mad. That's hilarious, and I'd tell everybody.

I grew up there. I always, always hated living in FL. I fled that shithole 15 years ago. The only thing I ever appreciated was the natural beauty, and every time I go back to visit, they paved over more of it.

"I feared for my life!"

Yeah I'll bet you did.

Fucking coward.

Reporter SLAMMED for overuse of the word SLAM in clickbait titles.

Probably not even written by a human though, really.

I often work in rural TX. I've had a number of Texans suggest I ought to move there, cause muh freedums. Yeah, I target shoot a little, but I'm lefty as hell. I talk about guns sometimes to deflect questions about my politics.

They are so full of themselves. They think because great grandpa was a cowboy that they inherit all his toughness. I don't know how grandpa lived, but I know Texans today live mostly in air conditioning and love shopping, huge portions, and convenience. They're fully convinced there is nowhere better on Earth. But no, I've been all over the Earth. TX sucks and I'd never move there.
