Well yeah but thats obviously not an option for Democrats.

There is definitely some tragedy to him, but for me I really read him as kind of fundamentally parasitic and unpleasant, obviously theres him borrowing money and dodging the debts until his associate kills himself, but also him belittling his son reciting poetry but then also stealing one of the lines for himself to try and use for more pity and sympathy, he never really seems to offer much empathy towards anyone else, but his tragedy is that he doesn't have the stomach like the true elite of just not feeling guilt about it, he still feels guilt both for his own actions and humanity in general, but seems to lack any capacity to actually be considerate towards others in order to alleviate that guilt.

It's an interesting different read on it though, I felt just completely sure that the film was mocking his despair and self pitying.

Thinking about the idea of packing the court and like, one thing I havent heard of is if there is actually a reserve of pragmatic liberal judges who would be candidates for expanding the court.

My gut feeling is you would just get these morons who would decline the whole venture as being a naked power grab and against the spirit of the civic cult.

An annoying guy having Trotsky as a godfather is something you'd see in some cult classic comedy like Network lmao.

Wow, that was basically my guess for how this might actually work, that's really funny if this turns out to be true.

I was thinking what if the law is written so it only applies if the cheating couple could get married after causing a divorce, which would be an extremely funny way to word a law like this.

That doesn't make any sense, the law "recognizing" certain relationships isn't the same as purely acknowledging the existence and possibility of them for the purpose of laws like if there is a law against cheating on a partner.

Swedish authorities demanded he return to Sweden for interrogation and evidence collection, he refused with the justification that this shithole of a country would just hand him over to be tortured by AmeriKKKa, the Swedish State offered no guarantees or alternative routes for the investigation to take place, so the investigation was closed for lack of viable routes to investigate and prosecute it.

As far as I recall that is what happened in short.

Popefully, it will have been worth the wait.

I would definitely suggest people check out the band that drummer Jeremy Barnes started afterwards, "A Hawk and a Hacksaw", him and violinist Heather Trost play their take on Eastern European and Balkan folk music, with lots of Accordion and sometimes variants of hammered dulcimers.

I think at least one or maybe several of their albums were collaborations with folk musicians from the various countries like Romania and Hungary too.

I feel like people even on here want to have their cake and eat it too, so if they can't use the r slur they move to "-oid" type insults and just pretend they have no idea what lineage it has to ableist slurs and instead just do the exact same type of plausible denial excuses that right wingers use.

Entirely good within the framework of eating meat yeah, and on top of that organ meat and offal literally just is good.
