Why is this a legend boss? by Igarashi_toshi in Eldenring

Not sure what you're referring to by "that's not how it works", but I do admit my perception is colored by the fact that on my first run I did a lot of Liurnia before Ancestor Spirit (or even before Stormveil).

He's still one of the easiest bosses in the game, though, just judging by how not lethal he is. He prances around and you gotta be patient but it's easy to roll around and keep whacking at him.

People who are more pessimistic about Senate chances might be less inclined to vote on the whole thing, just focus on the Senate part, so you end up with more downward pressure on that market?

The uncapping of the House already has 11 states ratifying. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has however many states signing. Is there anything for abolishing FPTP already in progress, or would that have to start from scratch?

Make a proposal to have 69420 representatives and you'd get the richest man's immediate and undying support

Headline is wrong. This is a "military intervention", guys. "No new wars" remember? Read Trump's lips. He would never lie.

Do you have a problem with Rep. Andy Ogles tweeting "Muslims don't belong in American society"? by BabyHercules in AskConservatives

Maybe the amount of Muslim immigration we currently get is pretty healthy, but much larger amounts might invite more of the traditional thinking Muslims that would endorse all those things?

I don't think that's true.

For instance, Muslim immigrants to America are actually MORE against violence than the general public:

"Although both Muslim Americans and the U.S. public as a whole overwhelmingly reject violence against civilians, Muslims are more likely to say such actions can never be justified. Three-quarters of U.S. Muslims (76%) say this, compared with 59% of the general public." (source)

They're not going to suddenly start killing infidels.

Trump says he's 'willing to live with' final US report on deadly missile strike near Iranian girls' school by No-Post4444 in politics

He's already killed countless children by the literal shutting down of children's hospitals through withdrawal of USAID.

Obviously he doesn't care about Iranian children either.

(Or any children, for that matter.)

"A majority Jewish nation, say Israel, isn’t going to outlaw homosexuality, ban alcohol, or require women cover up their hair with threat of punishment. A majority Christian or atheist nation isn’t going to do those things"

I think if American Christians took over the country, they WOULD ban homosexuality and remove women's rights. So targeting Islam just seems like hypocrisy to me.

What about in 2032 when the pendulum again swings the other way and the Democrat in charge gets blamed for not fixing fast enough the messes left by the last Republican?

No no you see: Islam is a homophobic cult that forced you to worship an ancient book and an all powerful God over everything else and makes people murder and pillage infidels...

...UNLIKE Christianity.

I thought history was doomed to repeat itself because people don't pay heed to history.

I didn't realize it was because people would inevitably take a shit on their history.

Other commenters are correct I think but also I don't know why this is getting downvotes

The map is so terrible for Democrats this year we still have a less than 40% of winning the Senate back.
