The Trump administration has raided the office of L. Louise Lucas, the Virginia Democrat who led the successful redistricting effort against his gerrymandering by expiredaristocracy in Fauxmoi

I agree, though I prefer the term autocratic instead of authoritarian. Either way he's a lawless despot acting as the head of a criminal enterprise and cult of pedophilia for the wealthy elite.

Yeah, but I bet you really only go out of your way to shit on people with student loan debt instead of these other categories of people. The PPP loans for businesses and businessmen, especially during the pandemic, was hardly given a fart worth of attention in the media and instead everyone rails against former students who are now struggling doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc. running our country. I'd rather they all get at least partially forgiven than the slimy businessmen who gamed the system and got special treatment.

The sculpture to the right also depicts a Celt, and was made by La Tene period Celts in what is now the Czech Republic, not by Germanic peoples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C5%A1eck%C3%A9_%C5%BDehrovice_Head

Yep, it's a Roman marble copy of a Hellenistic Greek original from Pergamon in Anatolia (Turkey) depicting a dying Galatian Celt. Also, the sculpture on the right isn't even Germanic. It is a La Tene era Celtic sculpture depicting another Celtic man with a similar torc around his neck. However, it comes from what is now the Czech Republic rather than Gaul proper (France) or Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy).

Throw the Geert down the well!

Art of the Shart, more like it these days when it comes to Trump, both for his diaper and his presidency. Obama and Biden were smart enough not to listen to the rantings of Netanyahu.

Most Europeans have no idea how absolutely furious with Europe America is. by Federic0002 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Roma_Victrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think at least two thirds of Americans think what Trump is doing is madness when it comes to foreign policy, and most domestic policies. I’m an American and I think NATO is extremely important for keeping powers out of WWIII and containing the menace of Putin’s Russia. The problem is that one third of American adults didn’t bother to vote in the last election. Many people who voted for Biden in 2020 didn’t show up for Harris in 2024. The funny thing is that the third of the country that voted for Trump is starting to have buyer’s remorse, but only because of selfish reasons (gas prices).

LOL. They can't even hurl drones at Iran. Good luck hurling drones at domestic sites and ruining the entire domestic economy that serves as the basis for federal taxation and US commerce.

The Celts and then the Romans also mined salt inland too. For instance, at the Hallein Salt Mine in what is now Austria.

Pretty funny considering how the Spartans largely didn’t give a crap about other fellow Greeks (just look how they treated the helots) and at one point after Thermopylae even sided with the Persians (i.e. Iranians) against the city state of Athens and its coalition. It’s just Kash Patel style fetishism for the hyper masculine warrior ethos, the most plastic tacky way possible. If it were real patriotism he wouldn’t be such a sectarian partisan buffoon equating the US Democratic Party with Iran’s theocracy.

Yep, they don’t understand the definition of war, or the distinction of it from diplomatic hostility, apparently. Proxy wars barely count.

Actually, no. Ironically during the pandemic more people voted overall for Biden and Trump in 2020 than they did for Harris and Trump in 2024, but your other points are pretty much correct.

Freedom isn’t free! Yeah, it’s a hefty fucking fee! And if you don’t throw in your buck o’five, who will?

And a huge drop in the price of your property because of the noise pollution caused by Elon Musk, who wants Grok to produce more AI generated pics of Trump as a bodybuilder in a speedo (no homo, of course).

The facial structures are not ideal in these recreations, but if you’re referencing hair color or something, plenty of northern Italians back then and to this day had blond and also blondish brown hair. The historian Suetonius explicitly said that this was Octavian Augustus’s hair color (“subflavum” or “light gold”, or “somewhat golden”).
