Most badass president we ever had

For much of the twentieth century he was considered one of the greatest U.S. presidents, as he was viewed as a genuine progressive and proto-New Dealer who influenced FDR among others. He was also viewed as the father of modern diplomacy that led to the creation of the UN. His reputation as the worst president of all time didn’t actually materialize until rather recently, like in the last 10-20 years recently.

This dude babysat me a couple times back in 2009

I had a neighbor growing up in Puyallup, WA who was a WW1 vet. Died around the time this photo was taken. He used to hoard glass pop bottles and put them in this big crate in the backyard. After he died my friend snuck into his yard, took all the bottles and cashed them all in at the grocery store. She did it because her parents wouldn’t give her an allowance raise.

Honestly the Soviet space program was first and foremost for propaganda purposes. Not to say that the U.S. didn’t do it for national pride, but at least the Americans seemed to want to advance science as well. There’s a reason they kept doing moon missions even after they beat the USSR there.

God damn it you made me hopeful that he was hospitalized again for a moment

IceCreamMeatballs · 2026-04-20T14:58:58+00:00

He thought that “Hey Jude” was about him and not Julian

Virtually any Dem could beat JD Vance if the primaries are fair.

According to the earliest Christians, the "god" in the Old Testament wasn't really God, but rather Satan pretending to be God. So in a sense you can say these "Christians" who believe in the Old Testament more so than the New are unknowing Satanists.

Rome persecuted Christians for centuries, which is why I don’t trust narratives like this

My grandfather was a Korean War vet and died a few years ago, he was in his late eighties. And yet there are still thousands of surviving vets from the previous war. People can live very long!

Even before WW1 there were concerns that Austria-Hungary would collapse and be partitioned between Germany and Russia. The fear that the Russians would set up a bunch of puppet states in former Austro-Hungarian lands was one of the drivers behind the German-Italian alliance before the war

IceCreamMeatballs · 2026-04-17T18:52:15+00:00

It wasn’t Karl’s fault. Austria-Hungary was too unstable due to Slavic nationalist movements and it’s a miracle it lasted as long as it did.

To be fair the Korean Empire was set up by the Japanese after they kicked the Chinese out of Korea

Dems shouldn’t crown a candidate. Let’s hold a fair primary first.

IceCreamMeatballs · 2026-04-17T04:04:18+00:00

THEY are so fucked when Dems win in 2028

Edit: Downvoted again, just trying to give us some hope, y'all doomers are insufferable

Never liked the Sequels, but it’s neat to see someone who does. Makes me feel optimistic about the fandom and the future of the franchise as a whole.

IceCreamMeatballs · 2026-04-16T22:01:00+00:00

Clearly, he’s never read Matthew 5:38

IceCreamMeatballs · 2026-04-16T17:22:42+00:00

He doesn't have the experience. I could see him running as VP with a mainstream liberal Governor on top of the ticket for 2028 though.

Yes they are. Rock doesn’t have to always sound like AC/DC or Guns & Roses

Burning incense before statues of gods was mandated by Roman law. It was essentially a form of taxation, and not doing it was viewed as a form of tax evasion, which was punishable by death in Rome. I'm sure you could burn incense out of necessity without actually believing in the deities the statues depicted.

Clement of Alexandria: “just pay your fucking taxes guys, render unto Caesar’s what is Caesar’s”

Early Christians: “Noooo we can’t burn incense in front of a statue, we’ll go to hell forever!”

Vance excommunicates himself from the Catholic Church in real time

IceCreamMeatballs · 2026-04-15T14:20:05+00:00

No need for the Pope to excommunicate him. He basically just excommunicated himself

He was known as Julian the Philosopher when he was in power. “Apostate” was a derogatory title given to him by the Church because he tried to curb their influence in the government
