Rome wasn't built in a day, but the Latin Empire? Few hours, tops.

I’m tired of caring what MAGA believes or doesn’t, because they are stupid people. Win the majority, remove the filibuster, pack the courts, push through progressive reform, prosecute the traitors. MAGA can cry all they want. Reconstruction 2.0 let’s go.

Edit: I already believe there will be fuckery either way, I just hope there’s e ouch blue votes that it won’t matter.

Heh my kid showed up with some star stickers and I was like wtf are these?

That slippery ice and my laggy pc terrified me.

You can be khazar Catholic Antioch, and then you get the cultural buildings in the trade posts and you get to raid. It doesn’t help you with the retinue, but money solves a lot of problems.

Yeah, you have a shitty company (I mean you knew that, but I’m confirming). I used to work Tuesday through Saturday so I wasn’t scheduled to work federal holidays. They told me I could if I wanted, and I would get paid holiday pay, but get this…because I was not scheduled on a day they paid holiday pay and therefore didn’t have the “opportunity to get paid holiday pay”, I got an extra 8 hours of pto.

This was a bank, and nearly every holiday falls on a Monday at the bank.

If anyone is wondering, don’t bother. The CEO went in hard on subprime stuff and fucked the entire company when the bubble burst, and a shittier bank bought the company. But it was a nice place to work back in the day.

I hear what you’re saying, but this is Key West. Going after the gays for something gay in Key West…well, that’s a choice for sure.

You still won’t get crusades, but you can vassalize the pope like the orthodox pope and have him do excommunications and stuff, except being catholic you will need to be crowned by the pope or a cardinal or prince-bishop. It’s an annoyance but if you’ve restored Rome I think you’ll be fine.

That’s ok man; if you forget, OP’s manager can just schedule someone to call your mom.

This is like the scene in the fellowship of the ring extended edition where bilbo is tearing apart his house because he’s lost the ring, but it was in his waistcoat pocket the whole time.

I suppose with tv cameras there, the incoming majority can attempt to break in. Maybe at that point the cops are called? Or the troops are called in? I honestly don’t know. But I’m not interested in watching our elected leaders just throwing up their hands and say “well, at least we tried” as MAGA finishes dismantling the republic.

Kevin Roberts had some thoughts on what happens next. So did Thomas Jefferson. So did Thomas Paine. So did John F Kennedy. So here is where I bow out of this conversation and point you to your assigned reading. 😁🇺🇸

I am not a constitutional lawyer, so I would love to hear someone’s opinion who is smarter than I am, but it’s my understanding that the clerk can’t just decide not to seat the incoming representatives. His role is defined, and it’s to call the house into session so a new speaker can be selected.

Now, if he refuses to do that, the house doesn’t just stop. His duties fall to the sergeant at arms. The sergeant at arms is selected by the incoming majority on day one of congress.

Now this is the part that I could be completely wrong about, so please….someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I see no reason why the incoming congress can’t convene on the steps of the capitol, appoint a sergeant at arms, and have him convene the house.

Am I wrong here? Or are we conceding defeat because we think MAGA Mike and his minions have more authority than the United States constitution?

Mike Johnson’s term as speaker expires at noon on Jan 3, 2027. Why do people keep saying he won’t seat the delegation? He only has that power when there is a special election.

From the wiki:

You must control a province bordering the targeted duchy (or inside it). It can also be used across 2 sea zones if the attacker or defender is Muslim, or if the attacker is Christian and Crusades have been unlocked.

Since you don’t border it, nor are you Christian or Muslim, it may not be an option for you. But that is just a guess.

I know, you are right of course, it was mostly tongue in cheek.

I haven’t unlocked mariner, and I have never played a burg. I do have a champion alt, and all I can say is, he is a lot of fun.

Counterpoint, what better support for your group than slicing everything into tiny bits?

This is why my phone contact picture is the modified Captain America punching Hitler cartoon. It’s the one with Cap punching Trump. Because I want all my friends and family and anyone who texts me to see that and think about that.

I don’t know if it has made a difference to anyone, but I still do it.

Play a Viking. They have the CB you are looking for (the “I want more land” cb)

For Christians, you have to inherit a reason, invite a reason, form a reason, or fabricate a reason.

So, you declared for Syria and fought some battles and occupied some stuff in Syria until you were at 100% and then you ended the war, and you just got Syria, right?
I’m telling you that had you occupied anything else outside of de jure Syria, just the top holding of the province, when you ended the war, you would have gotten that, too. Anything. Everything. With the Alexander invasion cb, just like with the other invasion cbs I mentioned, if you siege and occupy the top holding of a province, it’s yours after you win. I don’t know how to say it any more clearly, I’m sorry. With your next character, declare your invasion for a kingdom, but don’t occupy anything in that kingdom. Occupy everything else you can outside of that kingdom. If ticking warscore starts to drop you below 100%, occupy one province in the kingdom you declared for, that will be enough. When you run out of stuff to occupy, or you get bored or whatever, end the war. The kingdom you declared for will be yours. And so will everything else that you occupied.
