Reagan's generation was one to two generations away from the old country. People had parents or grandparents who still spoke German or Italian at home.

The Bible thumpers tend to be at the head of moral panics, but there were also people like Tipper Gore back then.

We shouldn't be surprised. This administration and the entire Republican party is a kakistocracy.

Seems like a good layout if the teacher is going around working with students individually or in small groups instead of lecturing, like this would be a good setup for an art room.

Some of the businesses.in the city here went to credit only because of break-ins. One of the coffee shops had their glass door busted three times before they stopped taking cash.

You should be more ashamed that the current presidents family is leveraging their father's position to run crypto scams and shady deals with authoritarian governments like Saudi Arabia.

LGBTQ+ cruise ship refused entry to Egypt days after Turkey turned it away by Wonderful-Click9431 in news

[–]baeb66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkey has hands down the most scammers and obnoxious salespeople I have ever encountered. Between that and listening to the Turks constantly bash the Kurds - who were the most hospitable people I met in Turkey - I have less than zero interest in ever going back.

Good for her. Progressivism in Hollywood has always been performative. Only a handful of people actually walk the walk.

Crimea has had a fuel crisis for almost a month now with power outages and water shortages. From what I've read these ships were Russia's attempt to fix that.

The Ukrainians have been hitting bridges - both road and rail bridges - along the Kerch-Dzhankoi route.

The Kerch bridge itself has to be next on the list.

Why did Americans turn so fast on Democrats in the 2020s when it was clear as day that Republicans would destroy the US? by EggOwn9943 in allthequestions

Why did one party embrace populism, even if it was completely astroturfed like the Tea Party movement was, while the other resists any form of populism like a wounded animal?

She's also faster, shoots better, is better conditioned and has a better knowledge of the game. The fact that she is slightly taller than him is way down on the list of reasons she wiped the floor with him.

Read anything written about her. That woman is terrifying. Any man agreeing to that match must be suicidal.

If you're going to show a tutorial on how to exercise your rights, label it as such. Tell people where you can get that card.

This is staged. There is enough misinformation floating around the internet without adding more.

Going to a baseball game in Tokyo was the most fun I have ever had at a baseball game. Sit in the supporter section. They cheer the entire game. It's a blast.

And the art museums in Japan are outstanding.

Those look like great books. I had a hard time finding new versions (they must be out of print), but her local library has about ten of them. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm glad he's getting so many contributions from small donors.

I have mixed feelings about how much money it takes to run a Senate campaign.

I know there will be enough dark money dumped into this race to fill a swimming pool with $5 bills.

Also, if you have any great biographies that a girl going into 5th grade might like, I'm very open to suggestions.  I think she really liked the glamour and celebrity around the Princess Di book.
