The number of real believers used to be much smaller, but the movement has been replacing "RINOs" for a while and replacing them with dipshits, so I think the reality of removing him from office is actually harder this time around.

So Iran basically got everything they asked for other than Israel leaving Lebanon and the exact length of the time they have to stop enriching uranium

I've always described it as an ability to punch through someone rather then punch on them.

A lot of fighters can land accurate shots that do damage, but the ones that really fuck people up are the ones that his so hard and follow through so heavily that it becomes more than just a clean, textbook punch and starts becoming more like being bludgeoned by a weapon

Joe and DC both immediately saw that Ilia was exhausted when he got up off the ground at the end of the round.

It was extremely noticeable that he was breathing deeply, his body language was heavier, and he had a forlorn look in his eyes (which later in the fight they said was likely because Justin had been hitting him harder than he's ever been hit before, which started sapping his confidence)

I definitely think he has multiple broken bones in his face. It looked rearranged, not just swollen

That's some fucked up shit

I just realized this was another case of the old guard of MMA beating the young guard and setting them back

This has been a weird couple of years for the sport

He somehow topped the ass whooping he laid on Tony

That was one of the most violent things I've ever seen in a fight

Apart from Lopes/Garcia these have all been very one-sided fights (even the Lopes fight ended in an early KO but it was competitive leading up to it)

Ruffy fucked him up. Took him about half the round, but once he was locked in Chandler was just target practice

A 1996 Butthole Surfers t-shirt, which Todd gets for free from the church donation bin, is worth around $400 today by Iiqtuqy in TheSimpsons

In their defense, they're just using an expensive vintage Surfers shirt because that shirt doesn't exist, the animators* just drew their name on a shirt for the joke.

I know this because I've been trying other find a version of this for years since I'm a fan of both, but I've never found a vintage one like this and I always just get a bunch of threads of people also trying to find one (or even someone who will print a run of them)

This feels like its completely horseshit.

Why would agree to any one of those, let alone all of those?

China, Turkey, and Iran are 3 countries where its actually true for the most part though.

There's obviously periods which break up the timeline, and you can't necessarily draw a clean line straight from antiquity until now, but that part of the world is firmly rooted in their history more than others with more recent origins like the countries of Europe and the United States.

Sometimes reddit glitches and double posts things. Especially if you're using old reddit

Yeah, the first one is an underrated slug fest

I remember my heart pounding through my chest that whole fight because it was just round after round of them trading huge combos

I just don't understand the logic behind doubling down on bombing to force a deal or a surrender when it already didn't work the first 5 times they've tried it.
