@AthenaAscending I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Looking at the ocean. Ocean is so dirty, so wet. I'll be back...

!agree

Giant ear gauges you could fuck... those are not a turn on

And yes, those Monroes are atrocious

Anyone know any books that lay out Progressive philosophy regarding government? I have a friend trying to get read up on political theory and I suggested Locke and the Federalist Papers to start but I can't think of a single book he could read that would give a good basis for American Progressivism.

Looking for the stuff from late 1800s to 1930s or so

That would be after the timeframe in question. American Progressives were a somewhat defined thing, though not nearly as well defined as Classical Liberals or Marxists. I can pull half a dozen books that add up to the whole, but I can't think of one that lays it out singularly.

Teddy was my first thought, I’ll see if I can find a biography that gets heavily into his theory.

He was kind of a natural step from Teddy, Wilson was an aberration.

Not die, just get metoo’d into prison

No no, grill some meats upwind of them

Early firearms in Europe were large, two handed affairs, usually with some kind of stick to hold up the barrel while the firer used a burning cord to touch off the gunpowder with his offhand

Cannons were ahead of that, though

The accepted range for VitD in blood work is huge, different people have different functional levels and they're still not sure who is supposed to sit where.

At this point send in 3rd AD and let the street sweeping begin

Correction: *Reactivate* 3rd AD and send them in

Master plumbers learn most of their stuff on the job, so working 70 hour weeks would actually help that.

6’3” at 73... depending on lifestyle he may have lost an inch and a half

Does Sweden have anchor babies? This could be you chance.

ABV on wine isn't high enough to ignite. Now if you were using something around 30% ABV, maybe

Twitter has like 320 million monthly users, the logistics of rounding them all up into camps is just mind bending

Oh, wait... you didn’t mean that kind of purge

@MountainMan Hi back fucker

Guess we’ll be needing coka cola death squads sooner than later

Dozens of dildos

*One* bottle of lube

Is that gay or just an overdeveloped love of Mexican food?

My pronouns are his grace/his grace’s

Ahh, the Elon Musk approach

No, when he is weakest fuck his wife in front of him, while making her scream how awesome capitalism is

Probably Civil War 2: Tea Powered Boogaloo

Probably someone who uncovered Hilary’s DMs

Latinos can’t vote Trump, does not compute, must be Russian hackers with sombreros

I know right?

.38 special is a larger round, probably a better man stopper

Take a 380 for target shooting though

38 special is a bit wider and a fair bit longer, more powder

$8000 apparently

Probably because people have watched her grow up. People just need to realize that by now she’s probably been spit on, tied up, wrecked in the out hole, and been suspended upside down by her ankles.

And that’s just from the producer’s assistant.

Fuuuuuck, nicely done

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Shouldn’t that photo go into <#610596645427478541>?

Some tea is supposed to be better on the second cup, but the varieties that are tend to be pricey and don’t come in bags.

She’s already getting everything he has, can’t get more out of nothing

This is why after a divorce I encourage moving to Ecuador and finding a nice Latina

Can we just eat the vegans? I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.

Lib Dem circles?

Meanwhile, Biden publically admitted to threatening to withhold funds from Ukraine if they didn't shitcan the prosecutor looking into his son.

On video, no less

I'd love if Trump could get an indictment on Biden and use that to get him to flip on Hilary

I think we’ve seen that the resistance doesn’t promote on merit already. Just let the dark side win.

Gay sex isn’t on you, it’s in you

Elton John isn’t gay, it’s just an incredibly convoluted plan to get hip deep in bitches

You’d think being rich and famous would be enough, but he was already committed to the plan

Degraded materials stiffen, properly maintained one will be an easier draw. There are differences in shooting methodology which would allow the mongols to use fairly heavy draw bows though. Thumb rings help a lot and move the limit from grip to arm strength.

Draw strength?

Nice

More blowjobs in the Oval Office

I like to think Trump fucked Melania in the Office, windows open, midday like a Chad

Threatened Ukraine to keep them from investigating his son

That’s... about it

Lets just have another Baltic crusade, it seems about time

All cultures are beautiful, honor killings are a celebration of life

Cucked?

Delicious

Under empires the ME was fairly stable.

No empire=cluster fuck

So... time to build a new empire

Israeli Empire it is

> Last century

Nigga what?

Israel wasn’t a thing 100 years ago

Pax Mongolica lasted maybe a generation, tops

The political struggles between the heirs of the khanate brought an end to the Pax M-.

Each splinter horde claimed an area and proceeded to subjugate and enslave the local population. So you could argue for stability. But I wouldn’t.

So, Jay is saying we need an empire to stabilize the ME, but Israel and US would oppose any Islamic state doing so...

Israeli Empire when?

Jay is actually Ben Shapiro

What?

Chinese Empire?

Are you fucking joking?

The most stable was the Han and that was 1700 YEARS ago

So... the mongols

Wait, the Yuan lasted less than a century and a half

And the Yuan has a massive peasant rebellion at least once I can think of

A rebellion that was brutally repressed but had a decent novel written about it

So... changed Chinese Lit at least

Bismarck had his realpolitik down pat

Just over 100 years ago there was an empire there

They genocided some Armenians

Ottomans has several periods of massive internal instabilty

50 years... ok so the Ottomans weren’t stable

Then the Prussians made friends with Austria, like two boys bonding after a bar fight

Which period would that be? The interregnum, the revolts in the eastern territories, the revolts in the Balkans, the economic destabilization of the period after the Americas were discovered, the Jannisary Uprising?

The only time the Ottomans were stable was when they were winning a war against Austria

> 18th

Nope

> early 19th

Nope

The Ottoman government was not stable then, they were called “The Sick Man of Europe” for a reason

That they didn’t collapse completely in the 19th is because of the good graces of the English and (later) the French

They were going downhill long before that
