don't think any of the communist takeovers of the 20th century were grassroots movements, i.e. had a majority support.

Also add that most were drummed up by privileged, upper middle class intellectuals, radicalized in their twenties, who knew what was best for the poor proletariat better than the proletariat did.

It’s the same movie over and over, and it always ends with power struggles within the movement, violence, and the ‘proletariat’ worse off than before, at least among the ones that survive the ‘revolution’.

How formal is it compared to dinner? Plus it’s the middle of summer. TIA

I have no idea wtf he just said

The plastic surgery has stretched his face so tight it actually changed the way his voice sounds.

That said, glad to have him back in a limited role that suits him.

She kept it 100. That’s what is importantl.

The 67-year-old German woman can no longer be tried for membership in a terrorist group since it ended over 20 years ago, the outlet reported. The group disbanded in 1998, when they issued a final statement declaring an end to “urban guerrilla warfare,” Reuters reported.

How is there a statute of limitations on murder? If this is true, then how were SS guys tracked down and tried well into their 80”s and 90’s +?

If you’re in a terrorist group, get away with murder for years, and then declare “OK we’re done, no longer a terrorist!” then you’re free to just move on with life with no consequence? This doesn’t make sense, but it’s also Germany I guess.

It would be cool to see a listing of upcoming music acts between all the casinos and other gulf coast venues in one place. I get a variety of notifications but a lot of shows slip through. TIA

Rai, while being born in England, is definitely Indian and his wife is a pro golfer from India too

He’s an ‘Englishman’ but of Indian descent. We’ll see how the media plays it. They love their minority ‘firsts’.

Like a pack of hyenas or pit bulls. There is no ‘off’ button. Left to their own devices they would have killed that guy and then it would have taken a half hour for them to calm down while doing ritual shite talk chants at the dead body. I don’t know how you handle this. It’s animal like behavior. There is no reasoning with them.

Knew before I even got to the first line.

I recently found out that my grandfather served there and it was his last action before going home. I always knew he fought in the Pacific theater, but only after digging through a bunch of old docs and photo albums I managed to get after he passed did I find out what he had been through. He never discussed the war. A great regret of mine is not getting the chance to talk to him about it when I had the chance. I’ve learned so much about those operations since then. Fascinating subject that still doesn’t really get much coverage. I can’t fathom what those guys experienced. If anyone knows of any decent vet/children of vets forums where they share info from this period with each other I’d be all over it. Lots of clues and scattered info but many gaps to fill in my research. First Marines, engineer.

She’ll win anyway. Her voters don’t care. Their minds are already made up.
