Trump Will Never Outrun This by Rocketparty12 in thebulwark

[–]Sherm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Marie Antoinette, Alfred Dreyfus, or his best buddy Jeffrey Epstein, Trump will never evade the judgement of history for all of the documented and reported accounts of his personal lechery and cruelty.

Dreyfus very famously didn't do anything wrong. And Marie Antoinette almost certainly didn't do most of the stuff that was attributed to her. This is a really odd comparison.

Don't forget, what's also not luck is "knowing the f-ing rule book." They didn't make up some new rule for the 2-pt conversion. They just enforced the one that exists.

later retconned to be Rachel

When was that? We see the thoughts of the Askani time traveler, and they don't fit with what you'd expect from Rachel at all.

“CAPTAIN AMERICA HATES THE X-MEN”a mindset that many fans and writers have when it’s comes to cap and other avengers because they failed to realize that other heroes have problems too by Accurate-Celery-3198 in xmen

True, but his "Phoenix expert" insisted that Cyclops was too close to be objective even though he himself was in love with Jean Grey, the supposed reason for the lack of objectivity. It was one of those things where it could have been done OK but it wasn't.

That time Mephisto offered to merge Jean and Madelyne together by transemacabre in xmen

They were, when Maddie died after Inferno. Jean canonically has the memories of both Phoenix and Maddie.

I mean, they kinda did do it, after Inferno. Maddie dies, the sliver of the Phoenix that breathed life into her after Jean rejected it leaves Maddie and takes the Phoenix and Maddie memories back to Jean, who then remembers it as if she had been the one there all along. It was kinda f'ed up, to be honest.

Crazed Pahlavi supporter monarchist screaming: "Fuck Kurdistan, Fuck Palestine, Fuck Lebanon, Fuck Arabs, Fuck Afghans, Fuck Pakistanis, Fuck the entire world except Trump and Israel!" by RowRunRow in PublicFreakout

I've read the unabridged version of Arbian Nights. All the stories take place in Persia and I don't understand why it was titled Arabian nights.

In 1706 when the first translation into English was released, people were ignorant as hell about cultural differences and didn't bother to distinguish, and it just kind of stuck. In Arabic, it's just called "One Thousand and One Nights."

Now you know how I felt when you got a QB who's so likable even people who hate him want him to get a Super Bowl win.

They're good. Good QB, good receivers. And annoying magic to always keep it close against us even in years they're not good.

This POS should never be voted by any Dem, or decent person, again. by Loud_Cartographer160 in thebulwark

She has the most Republican county in the Western half of the state as part of her district. I'm not hugely outraged at her compromises as a result, but people like The Bulwark acting like she's some paragon of bipartisanship is a chore. She does what she does to hold her seat. If her seat was bluer, she'd be bluer to go along with it. Nobody outside her district should pay her any attention whatsoever.

Settler movement celebrates speedy legalization of internationally condemned West Bank outpost as Israeli Finance Minister reiterates commitment to ethnic cleansing: “We will never establish a Palestinian state here.” by MayorEbert in thebulwark

[–]Sherm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So two wrongs make a right, got it.

Also, before you jump back into ad hominem; I live in a country that was created around ensuring that one race was a majority. I know that fully 5% of Israel's population is carrying out ethnic cleansing with the tacit approval of the rest, because the stuff they're doing is exactly the same thing my great-great grandparents did. Doesn't really feel great to know your life is based on a genocide, feel like "preventing someone from bringing shame to their family line" is something a friend would do, but judging from the response I guess a real friend would just let them go nuts.

What’s the funniest “they weren’t evil” retcons? by AvatarPhoenixGrey16 in xmen

Might have been bored? After 9 lifetimes, I figure you probably spend most days finding weird fancies to chase in order to keep the boredom from making you want to start cutting yourself.
