Voltaire

They're supposed to be NATO allies. Germany only sent 13. They're still not taking things seriously. Then again, 13 may well be significant because its half their troops. Focking useless-ass allies.

I think he still is permanently. These people don't pay attention or know anything about anything anyways.

I take it back. Germany is only sending 13, presumably the other freeloaders are sending even less.

Good to see the freeloaders doing their part on their own dime. Sometimes you need a crowbar to move seemingly intractable things.

While I'd prefer Italy because I like the food there, it'll alnost surely be Iran considering the President essentially told us two days ago to expect it.

Its good that cancer rates are trending downward.

I noticed Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, and Macedonia made the list.

Some people are flawed. Most all the female relatives in my family are gorgeous and i have no attraction to any them whatsoever. The vast majority of us feel the same way, Apparently Voltaire not only didn't have this funcrtional off-switch but he also didn't seem to care much. I'm not a big fan of going through historical figures and beating them up for such indiscretions. I fully understand why people respect Voltaire, and it's for many other reasons. Do it enough and you'll be able to sh*t on everyone other than Jesus. Looking at it, it doesn't seem like then or now, the French ever cared that much about inappropriate relations. While I didn't live through the late 1700s France to comment, in today's France, the current president married his High School teacher who is 24 years older than he is, and that hasn't made a dent in his political career.

Not so. Rashida Tlaib took over John Conyers district that was/is 90% Democrat since before any of us were born. She just changed its representation from lunatic fringe black Democrat to lunatic fringe LGBTQ Islamic militant Democrat. Maybe you're confusing her with Ilhan Omar, as this thread is about Somalia. Tlaib is Palestidiot, not Somalian. I don't know offhand if Omar changed districts, but Tlaib did not.

When I first noticed how badly things were unravelling was the kneeling for the flag nonsense and the utter dread/shock I felt over the popularity of that. Then the Summer of Floyd happened and that was the breaking point. Until then you could agree to disagree but when you see half the population turns out to be unAmerican shitbag asswipes, there's a rift that won't mend easily. Reasonable people can disagree on foreign policy or tax rates or heath care or energy/environmental issues or any number of issues but insult the flag and/or the founding fathers and its time to wonder what the hell is wrong with these people and there's no conversation to be had anymore. Its time to totally give up on them and circle the wagons.

Fine coach with a Super Bowl ring and a recent history of pulling enough wins out of his mediocre teams to always have a winning record.

He's caught uncomfortably between his ideology and the truth.

I find it odd that someone would take a break from cheering on Hamas terrorists, drug smugglers, and communists, kneeling for the flag, tearing down Jefferson and Washington statues, explaining their pronouns, making indigenous land statements, assuming the county hasn't changed since 1920s Alabama, and lubing their butth0le for intersectional trannies to give me a lecture on Voltaire. Maybe rather than bashing someone who clearly and unaplogetically deeply loves Western Civilization, you could assuage your white guilt by making a large donation to Patrisse Cullors instead. A

White leftoids are worthless cancer. The scum of the plant. The unwiped exit point in the lower middle of the buttocks. I was trying to avoid communist idiots who hate themselves, their country, kneel for the flag, celebrate terrorists, want criminals to go free, and tear down statues of Washington and Jefferson. But, hey, it looks good on you.

I've long thought it was too much hubris on my part at the time. But one thing holds: unlike worthless white leftist sh*tbags, I fully appreciate Western civilization.
